dexstar Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I think this angle has accidentally stumbled into some twisted brilliance. Bryan's chase isn't the title anymore, it's the idea that HHH really wants to bury him. Maybe they do, I have no idea. But they'll build this match with that Rock-Cena meta-vibe and I think it's going to be genuinely compelling to see whether or not Bryan actually wins, and how. I think having the title involved at this point would take away some of the drama of Bryan conquering, because it would be an obvious feel-good ending. This is more mysterious, and interesting, to me from both a storyline standpoint and "real". Also they got 20,000 to chant for the match after Bryan came out and said that's the match he wanted, so, they got a good visual and momentum for it.

Stiva Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 At this point, I don't know if they genuinely believe that people just want to see Bryan featured prominently and they think a match with superman HHH will cut it or they're doing their usual "we'll acknowledge the fans but we have no idea how to book our way out of it anymore" style. People are rightfully worried about Orton/Batista but there's going to be a Brock/Taker match at Mania too. That title match has no chance.

goodhelmet Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I think they actually have the title match in the middle of the show at this point. Bryan vs. HHH will be a good match because of Bryan but man, the Mania line-up looks so depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexstar Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 The Usos should have won the belts like that. I get the New Age Outlaws as old veteran heels act, but they definitely need to be squashed like Honky Tonk Man to lose those titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 There's a good chance Bryan gets pressed between thighs too since he wants time off for his wedding after Wrestlemania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I've grown to really hate the Wyatts entrance -- not because there's anything wrong with it, but because they should really find a way to edit it down some when he is coming out twice on a show. Also, is it really necessary for run-ins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 There is literally no one on earth I want to see wrestle less than 2014 HHH. I knew the match with Bryan was coming, and I'm sure they will work hard to make it compelling, but I have absolutely no interest in seeing it.

goodhelmet Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I love the Wtatts entrance. Also, what is with the crowd? They are dead for what should be a marquee match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would wager that a lot of people feel that way, especially for $65. Kinda interested to see how many are interested in it for $9.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrisZ Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 This is where all those fucking chants are coming home to roost.....like I have said these idiots want to come and chant the same shit every week and now they are doing it in a match between the new guys that the fans want to see.

Loss Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Seth Rollins is REALLY determined not to let himself be an afterthought. Good for him. Yeah, this crowd is awful. These guys tore the house down last night and this brawl should have the building popping like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Not sure who is telling Lana is show more skin on those promos but I give that man props. Yeah this crowd is complete shits. I mean even Bryan had to force the crowd to react when he first came out. So we get two matches where their partner causes the wrestler to get disqualified "by accident". That seems like pretty lazy booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Lets see... they were dead for Big E vs. Cesaro. They Bootistad Batista They booed Cena. They went nuts for DB... including following along in support for a fucking HHH match. They went to crickets for Reigns vs. Wyatt. Multiple personality disorder.

Jmare007 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 See that D-Bry commercial? that's what they should've been doing months ago. Don't find petty reasons to not support your most over wrestler, just do whatever you have at your disposal to make money out of the guy. Late as hell, but good job nonetheless by WWE.Also, I'm happy as fuck they didn't break The Shield tonight. If Cena's injury is serious, Shield vs Wyatts II is an amazing backup plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I fully admit that I thought Taker would just dramatically sign his name. It reminded me of the set up for Taker/HHH. That was such a better way to do it though. My first hope (fully thinking he'd just sign) was that he'd make lightning come down and sign his name. Screw that real sports build. I want magic Taker Lightning. This was good too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
