I seriously feel like punching hole in the wall now

FUCK

this is the most depressed I've ever been watching wrestling. Not even close

doesn't look like Bryan is going to be in it. I really can't believe this company

No Bryan? I can't believe this shit

If Bryan doesn't win the Rumble this crowd may burn the building down

yeah maybe that wasn't that dickish but there is something about the guy that annoys me. And he's one my favorites and I think he's hilarious. There's just this underlying well, I don't know

I can't wait wait for the crowd's reaction tomorrow. I hope they don't stop the whole night and each crowd in the next city follows

well that confirms it. Again I can't reiterate how depressing this is. Wrestling should be fun. I feel like complete shit even thinking about it now. anyone else think they believe announcing the network will stifle some of the backlash of bryan not winning and going to Mania? Get on the people's good side.

Punk interview where he finally speaks about the Beadle/AJ deal, his current angle, his place on the card, Bryan, and Hunter doing some MMA training. http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/1/24/53405...-network-ufc-on I think it's impossible for this man to not come across as a dick in any form of media. I think he would freely admit that

Bryan saying he's "trying to get in" the Rumble in a pretty kayfabe interview (name dropping Trips as COO and all) gives me some hope. Yes, this gives me hope that we're all being worked. I so hope so. Let me reiterate that I've never been this depressed following wrestling. Not even in 1995. Well I didn't know any better back then

I just meant the "Authority" thing in general I guess. They seem to be sticking to it no matter what.

He didn't say anything too bad. I think he's right in that they don't see money in him but... They did build the entire show around him last week. I'm probably being naive but I really don't think they hate him. It's just horrible timing. They had this McMahon deal planned out for months and Bryan wasn't involved. They are just stream lined building to Mania with it. Of course why does Orton still have to be champ? I don't think Bryan is getting the title at Mania but I have hope they he will be alright. And I'm still holding onto them offering refunds for him being off house shows and Vince having plans for the YES chant at Mania

I had no idea Scott had heat with Hogan over Hogan bringing "Unsavory" characters backstage. I assume that was code for drug dealers. Anyone know what the hell that was about? He also had heat with Dick Ebersol over SNME. Ebersol wanted more silly SNL type skits and Scott wanted a straight wrestling program. that being said you have to give him credit for the JCP run but also because he was also, at least to a degree, able to adapt and work and have success in a non-traditional, sports entertainment/wrestling company

terrible news about the concussion but since he's probably going to be putting over Bray at the Rumble maybe it's for the best booking wise. Don't think he'll be winning the Rumble either so maybe this will keep him more protected. Hope he gets better because he deserves this run

I'd like to meet the glorious bastard who got in Vince's ear over this and give him a firm handshake

hopefully they can get Hogan to do the six man tag at Mania (w/ Cena against Wyatts). I've given up on him getting the title at the show

Incredible ending!!

I'm cautiously optimistic that Bryan/Wyatts are getting the main event segment tonight. (unless they do something with Orton/Cena or Punk/HHH) They are really pushing this storyline hard. It's not necessarily working but in WWE airtime is the barometer of a push

http://www.prowrestling.net/artman/publish...e10035190.shtml There was always a lot of criticism of her angles in modern WWE by smarks but I always respected her immensely. RIP Meltz

WWE future endeavored Kaitlyn. To think she was in the top Diva feud in forever just last summer Apparently she requested her release

According to Alvarez Batista is scheduled to work Del Rio at Elimination Chamber. Meaning he won't be in the title match probably because he's winning the Rumble.

The more I read about the Bryan stuff the more depressed I get. Like I said right before HIAC I can't believe I'm 34 and letting a god damn wrestling angle affect me like this. It just sucks so much

Batista will be a babyface

I don't think Bryan is getting buried. No one in WWE that gets this much airtime, especially "top guy" top of the hour segments, is being buried. With that said I don't think he will be in the title match at Mania because they just don't see him at that level or want him there. It's frustrating but this is probably the best we can hope for. The Wyatts probably are a upper tier act now because, again, of how much airtime they get. A "push" in modern WWE is not winning a lot but how much screen time you get and when your segments air. It's just that the fans want to see Bryan fighting for the title and in the top mix with the singles. I don't think he is winning the Rumble or anything but I guess it adds to the intrigue of the finish. Batista will win it. I was pissed off last night watching the angle live but letting it sink in I guess it isn't the worst thing. Still frustrating as hell though
