tim Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Totally pathetic. Vince's death is the only small chance this company has to live at this point. I always laugh at hyperbolic posts like this. WWE will be alive for decades if not centuries, it is a huge multinational corporation with an incredibly loyal fanbase who tune in every week despite the consistently awful booking. Every person in this thread has probably vowed never to watch again after some terrible show that wasted their time or unfair treatment of a worker ofr awful booking decision. How many new fans are they getting though? How many kids tuning in for John Cena keep up with the product after they turn, say, 12 without the memories the older fans have that keep them loyal.

Strummer Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Dave thinks they will have no choice butto turn Reigns heel. At least he was severely implying that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 You can't say this was a bad PPV because we had a match of the year contender with the Triple Threat match that will be a match of the year contender for a long time But again the last thing people will remember is the thing people aren't interested in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownNDirtyTN Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 If they wanted to send the Philly crowd home happy the title match would have went on last. Brock is their biggest face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkdoc Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 No one has mentioned Bryan in the post show. No one. He's not in focus. No one has mentions Bray either. Completely bizarre. Vince talked about listening to the crowd, so what the fuck was that? this is what we've been trying to tell you a hundred times before in other threads so congratulations, you finally understand the modern WWE experience! vince was personally scripting reigns' recent godawful promos that helped put him in this position, too.

Stiva Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 You know, I'd be intrigued to see them try and turn Rock heel and be Reigns mouthpiece against a face Lesnar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shining Wiz Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 One good/great match, a bunch of filler, and the worst Rumble ever.......not a good show. They may not be on the verge of going out of business, but not for a lack of trying. They have guys on the roster the crowd is into. They have a couple of strong heels. But they refuse to capitalize on that for some unknown reason. With the roster they have, I should be at the zenith of my adult fandom, but at this point I tune in for schadenfreude.

Zero Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 If they wanted to send the Philly crowd home happy the title match would have went on last. Brock is their biggest face. Not a chance. It would have been shitted on after that 'Rumble. Putting it on first was brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Nobody who is the future even did anything noticeable besides Reigns. No cool spots, no cool eliminations, moments, nothing. In the post show were talking about records that Big Show and Kane set. What the FUCK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conker8 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Like last year, I kind of like this Rumble. At least, it wasn't boring like in the mid 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillThompson Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Seriously what the fuck is this? It's Vince showing that he's not out of touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 So much fun. So much angst. There was a point In the rumble where the suspension of disbelief was gone. We weren't even watching a match anymore. It was so surreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarchistxx Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 It is funny because in every documentary they do on Steve Austin they have Vince as a talking head saying "In the end the crowd decides, the crowd makes the decision for us. And they always make the right decision." Wonder where that policy went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exposer Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I feel bad for Reigns. This is the grave for him and that's too bad. It was amazing to watch WWE try to cover the heat on him throughout the match and post-match. Bryan early elimination, Rusev last guy to eliminate, Authority's Big Show and Kane to throw out, Rock endorsing him, and Trips and Steph showing up on the ramp at the end. It was incredible to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 They don't have an out for Bryan this year in HHH because he's married to Sting. If they fix this it's going to be a total cluster of fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many new fans are they getting though? How many kids tuning in for John Cena keep up with the product after they turn, say, 12 without the memories the older fans have that keep them loyal. A lot of kids probably are tuning out at age twelve. That is nothing new, all my friends did in 2001/2002 when we turned that age and the attitude era died down. They will always get new fans, especially the children of the adults who are fans. The product is still aimed towards the PG market, so they are likely content having children and diehards as the consistent fanbase. They know they can do virtually whatever and maintain steady ratings and revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Kane and Big show at the end was just the worst. They aren't over at all. Kane especially has exactly ZERO upside and Big Show not much more as a main eventer. They didn't even get booed for their entrances, they just sucked the life out of the crowd.

BillThompson Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'm not going to be one of the people who writes WWE off for good. I'm realistic, I'll be back. I do need a break though. I enjoy wrestling that makes me happy and that's why I won't be watching any current WWE for a while. I have countless matches from the past to explore, old WWF/WWE to watch, present day Lucha, Puro, and various indies to make me happy. That's all I want as a wrestling fan and right now WWE isn't doing that. I'll still watch NXT, but I view that as a separate thing at this point. I'll be back, but for right now this is one abusive relationship I need some space from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
