nate Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 "The American Dragon" Bo Dallas. Not even kidding, if you went with "The American Dragon" Bo Danielson, you'd hear of mail bombs and anthrax envelopes showing up in WWE offices within the week.

Kaptain Kayfabe Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 So if Battleground will have the War Games-Esq match people are hoping for, does this mean we'll see Daniel Bryan & PTP & someone else vs. Orton & The Shield? It's a shame Mark Henry didn't come help Daniel Bryan. The place would have gone crazy if he or anyone else did. The crowd was begging for someone to step up and fight with him. All Triple H said was if anyone touched Daniel Bryan. He never said anything specifically about The Shield. Pretty sure if Battleground were to have some sort of War Games deal it would be Orton/Shield vs. Bryan, Henry, Big Show, and Dolph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Do we see the corporation joining forces with heyman? That could add punk and hennig to the line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Do we see the corporation joining forces with heyman? That could add punk and hennig to the line up. If that happens, I'd vote for Brock to eventually get tired of HHH's shit(Perhaps the RAW after Bryan miraculously defeats him on a ppv) and then casually destroy everyone in the ring, complete with Heyman frantically screaming "NOOOO, BROCK!"

Gonzalez Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Goddammit FSW, the man is the longest reigning WWE Champion in modern history. He's defeated wrestlers like Ryback, Kane, and DVDVR darling Mark Henry. If those guys couldn't stand a chance against The Best In The World, then Brock sure as hell doesn't. Deal with it already. Because when it's time to induct Punk into the HOF, Brock will be calling him "Boss" when he personally inducts him live at the Sugarpova Arena in 2025. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I don't get how they'd lump the PTP into the DBryan story. His coming out is a nice story and all but I really don't want Darren Young shoved down my throat. Not your throat you should worry about. What???

Because when it's time to induct Punk into the HOF, Brock will be calling him "Boss" when he personally inducts him live at the Sugarpova Arena in 2025. Doesn't count because he did too many "non-title match" jobs ranging from real guys like Cena and Bryan down to total numbnut non-entities like Ziggler and Kane during his bullshit longest reign. Modern history is just code for the "titles don't mean shit anymore" and stringing out Punk's reign as long as they did doesn't even make his reign anymore significant than JBL's. Besides by now cRyback's just the modern equivalent to The Warlord. And even he made Punk look like his punk bitch for the majority of those matches regardless of the end result. "The Beast" gave way too much to the glorified tatted up sandwich artist. On the other hand, it really doesn't matter because by now it's clear Brock's only there to swap wins with the top guys even if they're glorified sandwich artists undeserving of the rub.

PuroresuFan Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Reigns is gonna be the eventual guy who gets a big solo push. He's huge, good looking, and has a natural charisma. Plus he ended up the one dating Sookie. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks he should be on True Blood next season going up against Alcide.

FluffSnackwell Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 So is Test's career Reigns' floor or ceiling? Bearing in mind that nobody should ever be jackassy or ignorant enough to pretend a numpty like Jack Swagger's "World Heavyweight Title" runs were even on par with the I-C Title runs of Savage, Rude or Perfect. What else can Reigns even do besides stand there and look scary or spear fools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I feel like the current Ryback angle is going to end with some jobber turning into Kid Miracleman. I'd rather see all the blue-shirted production geeks unite and drag him screaming down into their nerd lair. Then a few weeks later he can emerge: It's really the best thing they could make of him at this point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzalez Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 In the segment-by-segment, the first segment with John Cena, Daniel Bryan and Stephanie McMahon opened with a strong 3.4 rating. Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow lost about 530,000 viewers. The Paul Heyman interview next stayed even. Cameron & Naomi vs. A.J. Lee & Layla lost about 135,000 viewers. Dolph Ziggler vs. The Shield gained about 500,000 viewers at 9 p.m., a strong gain to a 3.3. Alberto Del Rio vs. Sin Cara stayed even, which is really good in that slot. Sin Cara has often over performed as a ratings draw but at this point that doesn’t matter because he’s done. The Prime Time Players vs. Antonio Cesaro & Jack Swagger gained about 250,000 viewers to a 3.5 quarter. Considering who was in the match and it’s not at the normal top of the hour growth period, this absolutely says that the Darren Young story led to people telling people to tune in. It probably played a small part in the rating of the show just with all the mainstream talking about it because that was an abnormal jump for guys of that level in that slot. Big Show vs. The Shield lost about 265,000 viewers. The C.M. Punk promo with Paul Heyman and the Punk vs. Curtis Axel brawl gained about 400,000 viewers to a strong 3.6, tying the high point of te show at 10 p.m. Bray Wyatt vs. R-Truth lost 550,000 viewers. The Usos vs. Heath Slater & Jinder Mahal lost another 265,000 viewers. The Miz vs. Wade Barrett gained about 135,000 viewers. The big angle in the main event slot with the McMahons, Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, the long HHH promo and The Shield all involved gained about 670,000 viewers to a 3.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
