Grimmas

Define stop watching. I can't handle the tv only the specials. If the specials are shit I will skip those too.

You can add a third Texan to make it even if you want.

I think we need an episode where Pete & Will team up to take Kelly and I. Canada vs Texas!

I guess I can't be on till Spring, it's damn cold in Canada.

Oh yes and thanks to Grimmas for backing out so that I could take my rightful place in the Sun as the premiere wrestling nerd. There should be an asterisk beside your victory!

I can't wait to be in on this. I know I had to skip out on the first show due to a business trip, but I will dominate if I am ever asked to be on again.

why would you end the undefeated streak now?

well Bryan never lost the title. It wouldn't be difficult at all to sell people the idea that he's at least entitled to a number 1 contender's match to settle this "controversy", especially when you consider people want Bryan anyway so there's really nothing to sell. It's not like people are going to be crying 'injustice' over this if it were to happen. There is no "controversy" though. Bryan was entered into the Rumble and was thrown out easily and fairly in a few minutes.

The thing is they have more options than Reigns. Not to make a huge list, as there are options, but Dean Ambrose is right there. Over the summer who was more over and they shit it away.

Cool. Im guessing its not free for US subscribers as being out for almost a year in the states everyone would have signed up by now. IT'S FREE TO ALL NEW SUBSCRIBERS EVERYWHERE!

That is the best idea if you are the WWE.

Why? It's not like the belt is changing on free TV. Nor should they act like it is going to. Paying to see title fights should be expected, in my opinion. Part of what devalued the titles, at least to me, was WCW & WWF giving away a bunch of stuff for free during the Monday Night Wars because they cared more about winning the ratings in a week instead of keeping their product strong. I agree that Brock was not around enough last year to be WWE Champion. He should have been, at the very least, at every other PPV. But I like him showing up sporadically, as it makes him feel like a bigger deal. If he was there every Monday to wrestle & the belt was with him each week, he would feel like everyone else on the roster: stagnant. When I said on TV I did mean on PPV. That is important to see the title defended at each Months show. This is probably the first time in history the title hasent been defended regulary. But just flat out not mentioning Brock on TV isnt good either. I know people moan about Cena holding the belt but if he had been given the belt at NOC we would have had regular title defenses. During the height of wrestling's popularity in the late 1990's Hulk Hogan barely defended the title in WCW. Also, having Brock lose the title to Cena after a month's reign would be the stupidest booking ever. The streak ends, SummerSlam has this crazy squash booking and then Brock loses the title int he rematch? Seriously?

In contrast Survivor Series 2013, when Bryan was pushed out of the main event. The pay-per-view was the worst-selling edition of Survivor Series since the event's inception in 1987; this has been attributed to a weak buildup.[4][5] It received 179,000 buys, down from 208,000 for the previous year's event; and attracted more than 100,000 fewer orders than the 2011 event, which generated 281,000 buys.[6]

What Bryan buyrates are lower?

If this keeps up Daniel Bryan should win most underrated in the WON Awards for 2015. How crazy is that?

The only fans that are going to cancel is those immature kids on Twitter who sulked over what happened at the Ryumble. Quite frankly I enjoyed the event and to me thats all that matters. Its a huge over reaction because you get thousands of hours of classic footage to watch and thats a great service. Getting the current PPVs is just a bonus and if it bothers them that much buy the PPV from SKY/cable operator. What happens on a PPV shouldnt count for whether you do or dont want the network. Its still a great 24/7 channel. You do realize that the majority of people have the network for the current product and not for old footage otherwise WWE 24/7 would had been a huge success. Yeah Doc, sometimes it seems like you don't accept that you have a minority opinion on things.

Actually no. I thought the whole point of the Network was for people to watch classic WWE stuff and current PPVs is just a bonus. 24/7 was just classic stuff but no idea of what numbers it pulled because it wasent available in the UK. No, the whole point of the Network was ppv business was dying so this is the new way to promote ppvs. The Network will live in and die by current footage. WWE 24/7 died and wasn't promoted on tv after the first few months, so how successful do you think it was?

So, the idea for this is "They won't push us so let's STEAL THE SHOW!"? That's maybe the worst idea for those guys yet. People aren't annoyed that these guys aren't allowed to have good matches, they have good matches all the time. WWE are confusing their crowd for a ROH crowd watching Spanky vs. Jamie Noble. Is anything going to be on the line? Even a number one contender match would work as a way for the match to actually mean something. I think if they aren't going to push him to the main level, at least putting him in a great match with time that steals the show is the next best alternative.

On the PWO-PTBN Facebook page the Match Club is watching Joe Doering & Suwama vs Go Shiozaki & Kento Miyahara (AJPW, January 2, 2015). Anybody have any thoughts on that one?

There could be your WrestleMania opponent for Bryan.

I completely disagree with this. Bryan should be the top act at least until SummerSlam. He is cleared to wrestle, so the neck is fine and there is no way in hell that Roman would be hurt by waiting another year. He's simply not ready. They've already gone through with it. Back peddling on reigns now will make everything ten times worse. Bryan can still be slotted into the main event for summer slam and we know the audience will buy it. Reigns doesn't have that luxury. I've got two words for you, "Injury angle".

This makes me sad - I am sure Grimmas, Kaufman316 and yourself could go and meet up at a SMASH show? I am probably going to be in Toronto for work purposes once a year and if timed correctly would love to go see a SMASH show with some of you guys. Musgrave too! PWO meet up at Smash in February!

Didn't the UK launch just start though? EDIT: 18th of January.

How do you salvage WrestleMania 31 now? If you are stuck with Reigns-Brock you really need Heyman to go with Reigns and Brock to go babyface. Ideally you re-sign Brock and he retains then you build up Reigns as a heel. Where does that leave Bryan? What if Rusev makes Cena submit at Fast Lane and Bryan takes on Rusev at Mania? Seth-Orton, Triple H-Sting are fine. Of course Cena, Dolph, Bray, Ambrose, Cesaro are all out there still. I like the idea of Cena being old and beaten down and not being able to cut it anymore so he wants to face a young gun at Mania to prove he still has it. Someone like Ambrose, Dolph or Cesaro.
