Nice Guy Eddie Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 This show was definitely a mixed bag for me. I enjoyed CM Punk/Seth Rollins. I like the dissention and slow cracks among the Shield. I'd be more pumped to see when Seth Rollins finally turns on Dean Ambrose than Roman Reigns. Brock Lesnar/Mark Henry was awesome. I haven't bought a WWE ppv in a very long time, but I'd but I'd buy a ppv w/ Mark Henry vs. Brock Lesnar on it. I also enjoyed Big E./Fandango. I don't know how I feel about Bryan joining the Wyatt family. I'm pretty sure it leads to Bryan turning on them and finally getting his match against Bray. I generally have enjoyed the Wyatt family, but lately something hasn't been clicking for me. I can't put my finger on it. I enjoyed the initial vignettes, but something is lacking. I love characters based around religion and cult leader characters, but I feel like WWE is afraid to go too far with the Wyatt family. I don't think the creative team really knows where they're going with Bryan and the Wyatt's. The match itself between Bryan and Luke Harper was awesome. I could watch them wrestle every week.

Reed Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I can't wait for Total Divas season 2 when Brie is forced to go live with Bryan in a dilapidated cabin in the swap-filled woods while Nikki smirks about how amazing life in Cena's vast mansion is. At least in the swamp cabin you can put your gym clothes in any hamper you like..... "So, like, Bryan and Bray kidnapped a hitchhiker and tied him up in the basement. They say they want to axe-murder him later on. I'm a little nervous about this. This whole "cabin" thing isn't the adventure I expected it to be. But, you know, at least I have a man that will commit to me. Unlike Nikki!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Well there was that rumor that the Wyats could win the tag belts before Wrestlemania. So we could squeeze a few more awesome tags out of the Rhodes and Shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipGofern Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 If they are heels, and Bryan is being corrupted, then that can't mean HHH/Step, but Cena/Punk/whatever other babyface is on top. If notghing else, that means the Wyatt's have to start meaning something more than they have so far. Again, Psycho Hillbillies. I'd be fine with them going after Cena because he is the face of the WWE (hence part of The Machine) but I'd like to see them go after the Shield/HHH as well. Just attack everybody. Be a force for wanton chaos. Yep, the more I think about it, the more excited I get. I think Bryan hit a ceiling with all the YES! and scrappy underdog who keeps getting screwed stuff. This team up, especially with Bray being possibly the best promo guy in the business right now, is a tremendous move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Bryan + Wyatts vs. Randy + Shield is now a thing on the table. So is Bryan + Wyatts vs. Usos + Rhodes Boys. Bryan + Wyats vs Rey + Usos (or Rhodes) would be awesome. I hope we get that in the next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligerbusa Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I can't believe anybody would like that last segment. Especially after that worked shoot promo by Bryan. Shoot? The Authority (or the machine) has kept him down multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I love the heavy denial on this thread that the Lesnar annihilation of Mark Henry in sixty seconds is somehow going to turn into a Lesnar-Henry feud. Henry was fodder designed to put Brock over. At best, we get one more match where Brock kills him in five minutes until Big E makes the save. This isn't 2011 anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzalez Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I'm tired of the Wyatt's. I signed up for Country Music, anal rape, and Bray instructing Harper & Rowan, while he drinks Moonshine liquor from a jug that has XXX on the outside. But I end up getting repackaged Orton gimmick 3.0. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 There's also the possibility for some long-term continuity where Citizen Kane is an inside man put in place by Wyatt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 What mattered the most to me was that next week we will have Rikishi and Scotty. So Rikishi, Scotty and the Usos vs the Wyatts might happen and someone with a beard might get stinkfaced and carry it for days. Otherwise, I just want Brock Lesnar: Babyface to kill all these heels off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I'm kind of amazed anyone, especially here, are again doubting Bryan or worrying that he'll be defeated by a questionable angle. Watching him work this turn is just another chance to see him overcome another challenge. The last two years of his career have been one after another, and that in itself has been the most compelling running storyline in the company. If you're a fan of his WWE work, then you've watched him overcome some of the trasditionally worst angles you can be handed: being the loser in a wedding angle, having the losing-streak gimmick, being the midget in a mismatched comedy tag team. Jesus. And now he gets the chance to tackle what is consistently one of the worst angles you can have dumped on you...the babyface forced or selling out to join to heel stable. Cena couldn't do it well. Shit, Steve Austin did with questionably. Even Shawn Michaels has looked bad doing the sad walk off the stage after giving in to the bad guys. It almost always falls flat. Now the message board gets to watch the message board's darling once again show everyone how to take shit booking and actually make it work. How many times does he have to do this before we stop questioning him? I just can't worry about the dude anymore. I have seldom been more confidant about anything than about Daniel Bryan's ability to be the one guy who can do this stupid angle that they keep trying. no matter what stupid twists they write into this, once he's in the ring, he will sell the shit out of it and it will be believable and fun. Now, I was also extremely confidant that Dolph Ziggler would have the greatest world title run of this generation. But..you know...let's just leave that aside. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Dolph could still get that title run! He won tonight! Started and ended 2013 the exact same way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzalez Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I kinda want Brock to join the Wyatt family. If he beats the fuck out of Bray, and tells the boys "Now lets act like real backwoods fucks" then I'd get on board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her Total Divas character has a total irrational belief in everything she and Bryan do together. Nikki would be the sex-crazed camper who would get killed after she took off her shirt; started drinking, and asked everyone for some pot. She'd be screaming for her boyfriend John, the captain of the football team, to help her, but he'd already have been offed by the goat-mask killers*. *Super Cena would kill all of the goat-faces, Jason, Freddy and would then fend off a late run-in by Suspiria.

Nice Guy Eddie Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I kinda want Brock to join the Wyatt family. Brock would look awesome with an out of control beard. I could see Brock as a survivalist living in Northern Idaho. Eventhough he was 15 at the time, Brock would have gone medieval on ATF and FBI agents at Ruby Ridge.

Fallacy! Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Man, the Bryan/Wyatt's thing sucks. I know some people here live by the "Let's wait and see" mantra, but the WWE lost my ability to give them the benefit of the doubt after the Authority/Bryan angle. Either Bryan turns on them and topples Bray Wyatt, or he is actually a heel and the WWE just killed their hottest babyface. Either way, one of them is going to come out of this looking really lame. I don't see how anyone wins. It makes this angle look even dumber when on the other side of things, you have CM Punk single-handedly tearing apart The Shield.

Casey Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 and it's just as easily possible that Punk's sometime tag partner is using this as a chance to tear apart the Wyatt Family from the inside out, and maybe get some revenge on The Authority while he's at it.
