ultimoDANK Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'd actually like to see the Miz go back and win the Challenge on MTV. The Miz vs CT in that game where you gotta pull the broom handle thing away from the other guy. Book it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Assuming they keep Miz face, I'd rather have seen him reunite with Alex Riley as a babyface team. Why does every diva have to wrestle? Lana (the chick with Rusev) has the gimmick that Aksana should have had from the start. Evil eastern European woman with her own brute squad. Agreed, really liked the Aksana/Cesaro pairing and thought that could've led to Aksana building a stable around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Finally got round to watching Bryan/Orton. Great match, I'd rate it as the best they've had. The two other Bryan/Orton matches worth seeing are the Night of Champions 2013 match they had which is underrated and the one on RAW in December 2013 ending in a DQ. EDIT: Forgot to mention The Wyatt Family vs. Dolph Ziggler/R-Truth/Xavier Woods. I really liked that match. What about the street fight where Bryan made Orton tap? I'd still say that's the best match they've had. That's the biggie I'm missing and need to watch ASAP. Ask and ye shall receive Natural. WWE put their complete summer saga series on YouTube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NintendoLogic Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I did not care for the Bryan/Orton street fight, mainly because I don't care for WWE street fights in general. They're not hate-filled grudge matches, they're showcases for contrived stunt spots. Perhaps my least favorite aspect of those matches is how when someone sets up a spot, it always, without exception, ends up backfiring on him. Like, the guy who gets put through a table is the one who introduced it in the first place. It makes things feel too choreographed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scraylo187 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 If they really want to cement a Miz heel turn, he should roll camera footage that it was indeed THE MIZ that got Ric Flair super drunk on the day of the event that got Jim Ross fired.

Ace Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 So, how much crossover is there between the demographics of WWE Raw and TVLand's Hot in Cleveland? Feeling like its not much but then again you all watch Total Divas, so you'll watch anything. Isn't Jane Leeves on that show? I've loved her since Throb in the mid 80s.

Fallacy! Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The Authority is teetering on being the worst authority figure angle in wrestling history. It's just so fucking unnecessary and confusing. Why did Triple H cheat to help Randy Orton win, then talk him up as the greatest thing since sliced bread for 3 months, only to, after he finally (cleanly) unifies the World Titles, throw him in the bushes and basically not give a shit about him anymore. Why did we sit through those 5 "coronation" ceremonies to celebrate Orton's title reign? Does WWE think this is compelling storytelling? Do they think we are on the edge of our seats wondering where the tumultuous Triple H-Randy Orton relationship is going next? It's awful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHH anointed Orton as his non-Cena, non-Punk, non-Bryan champion more because he hates those three guys than because he loves Orton. Really, this angle needs some sort of turning point where HHH turns on Orton to anoint a new "face of the company". That could be HHH losing faith in Orton because he loses the title to Daniel Bryan and screwing Bryan to move the title over to someone like Sheamus or Batista.

Greggulator Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Watch the WWE/HHH interview that's on the website this week. It adds to this. It's mostly about Kane but it's really good. HHH acts like a total d-bag towards Cole at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the Observer just did a list of how the top ratings draws average for 2013. The number after is how many new people turn into their segment. 1. The Rock: 335,698 2. Brock Lesnar: 330,068 3. John Cena: 328,401 4. Paul Heyman: 317,531 5. HHH: 259,420 6. C.M. Punk: 246,534 7. Stephanie McMahon: 242,841 8. Vickie Guerrero: 234,359 9. Vince McMahon: 203,475 10. Brad Maddox: 168,819 11. Seth Rollins: 167,388 12. Roman Reigns: 166,202 13. Big Show: 161,143 14. Daniel Bryan: 155,341 15. Dean Ambrose: 135,652 16. Ryback: 91,294 17. Curtis Axel: 59,699 18. Kane: 48,198 19.

The Man Known as Dan Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Some people will point that as a negative on Bryan, but really it just screams "Holy Shit why is Orton still champion?" Curtis Axel has been a better draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Some people will point that as a negative on Bryan, but really it just screams "Holy Shit why is Orton still champion?" Curtis Axel has been a better draw. Ehh.. Axel's numbers are high because he spent a bunch of time being emotionless behind Paul Heyman. Orton and Bryan's numbers are low because they wrestle 20 minutes on every show. Orton specifically seems to face the Kofi's of the world quite a bit.

Brandon Bones Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Is there anything to be reread in any of that says: Certain guys work mostly in the 1st 2nd or 3rd hour so wouldn't some consistent curtain jerking be rewarded simply because nobody has gone to bed yet?

bink_winkleman Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Austin mentioned on his show today re:Bryan/ratings that you have to have the machine backing you up to be a big draw, and that the current thought process of "don't go full throttle with the push until ratings go up" is backwards.
