goodhelmet Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Just curious... has WWE ever had quieter crowds in its existence? From the time Bryan went out with the injury until now... Fucking crickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 They clearly didn't know how to book a show without having an evil authority figure to call the shots, and I guess having Cena do it to keep Edge from getting crippled was probably the less lame way to do it. It does kind of come off like a big ol' reset button though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 It's lame that the Authority is back but that was the first time Seth's been good on the mic. I feel like someone was ribbing him and he had to kill like an extra three minutes of time so he just kept saying "John. John. John? John!" over and over. It was painful and long. And sucked.

Strummer Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Another thing Meltz was spot on again. Saying the company would rush back Hunter and Stephanie to boost ratings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I actually think bringing HHH and Stephanie back was the right move. I'm tired of the authority figure formula, but they don't have a better heel than Stephanie McMahon. Their return, along with Daniel Bryan's return, should give them a spark.

Strummer Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I know Steph is great but it just feels like same old same old. Pretty depressing ending. And now Survivor series means nothing. They really can't use that match to put Dolph over anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 So think about, hunter and Steph just got a nice holiday break before coming back to work. Pretty sweet gig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a terrible move. People are beyond sick of this and it renders the past month pointless. The heels finally got their comeuppance, to what, come back a month later? So we can return The Authority v. D-Bry again? Why didn't Cena just wait until Rollins ran back to attack him like he did anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 They could by having The Authority make life hell for him for a couple of months with him overcoming whatever they throw at him. HHH getting in his face and Dolph saying last time you crossed me, you and your wife disappeared completely for a few months, so I'd tread carefully. Hahahaha, I know, I know. Just saying they could.

tigerpride Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 The last time you crossed me, magically Sting came back to save the day and you and your wife disappeared for a month, so I'd tread carefully on the off chance Sting comes back again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's flawed, but it's an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerpride Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 It's something we've already seen that already had a payoff. I hope they put The Authority on other issues and just focus on D-Bry v. Lesnar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Now they can't use the Authority loses power stip again. So basically how is anyone really going to defeat them in storyline. Even if they leave "forever". They can just come right back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 That's what Sting gets for trusting Cena to manage things. That guy just can't count on anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 As do I. The cool thing about Brock-Bryan as opposed to Brock-Reigns is that knowledge of Brock leaving will only add to the environment of a Brock-Bryan match. The story of a monster bully openly admitting that he's on the way out, but that as he leaves, he's going to destroy everyone's favorite underdog and end his comeback on a sour note just because he can writes itself.

Loss Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Mr. McMahon was never really blown off as an on-screen character either. He just stopped showing up on TV. I think we all knew that stip wasn't going to stick since they feel that HHH has to work Wrestlemania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmare007 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 But at the same time, The Authority trying to keep Bryan from entering the Rumble (for his own good) would get nuclear heat. And they have been playing off D-Bry loving The Authority being gone, it's kinda hard picturing them not going back to that feud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 How can Steph get her come uppance from a babyface male wrestler when there's no male on female violence on TV-PG? All she does is clown the wrestlers & not get anything done back to her, really. Daniel Bryan going to overcome the Authority to win the big one? Yeah, we already seen that...and don't really need a re-run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even McMahon took a break from being a heel from Fully Loaded until he turned on Rock at Mania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
