Acknowledged it with a "NERDS!" and quiet confidence that Cleveland would be well behaved the next night, lol.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I think will happen.
ReplyDeleteAghhh.
ReplyDeleteJust as I thought. This is like 2012 all over again.
ReplyDeleteHowever, it's WWE's fault for putting themselves in a corner.
Also, if true, those stories REALLY make the JRs and Lance Storms and Jimmy Korderases look brilliant with the "just keep waiting, it's not over yet!" stuff.
ReplyDeleteHow fitting that Flair chide the crowd last night for daring not be on the side of Christista.
ReplyDeleteThe weather is so cold, WWE will have a empty arena. They could just pipe in the sounds they want.
ReplyDeleteI think that the machine has realized that they can keep cockteasing the fans for eternity.
ReplyDeleteIt's time for fans to go full Malcolm X. Violence is the only answer. A riot will accomplish what a million YES! chants cannot.
How bad do you want it, WWE Universe?
They can't wrestle if they can't walk
ReplyDeleteOh dear god. They're seriously going to just bury their heads in the sand on this? SERIOUSLY?
ReplyDeleteOkay folks, get ready. I'm calling it now: garbage will litter the ring very shortly.
JEEEZUS,they can't be that stupid,fuck Batista,gives us our generation's champion:Daniel Bryan
ReplyDeleteI bet Vince made D-Bry a mix tape with this on it
ReplyDeletehttp://youtu.be/QX7kL-y5K2I
I think I'll stick in NJPW only for a while.
ReplyDeleteThat's it, I'm out...
ReplyDeleteCleveland is an obedient city, they won't do anything. WrestleMania on the other hand....
ReplyDeleteLet's just let it play out and see where it goes.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are joking, otherwise, even tire slashing marks from 80's Southern territories would think that you take wrestling too seriously.
ReplyDeleteWe need a raw in Philly or Chicago right away!
ReplyDeleteWe'll be the cooler headed fans watching the not so cool ones wreck stuff.
ReplyDeleteit goes for the bottom of the pit.
ReplyDeleteFirst, is RAW at a smark heavy city tonight? Could we get another rabid crowd tonight? Also how long, if ever, does it take for the fans to just stop caring about D Bry or at least just chant for him in his own matches and forget about chanting during other segments?
ReplyDeleteThe worst type of embarrassment.
ReplyDeleteSee you in two hours!
ReplyDeleteNope,Cleveland is calm.We need Philly or Chicago.
ReplyDeleteIt's Cleveland so no, the cold weather we're having could push people away. Things will be "back to normal" sadly.
ReplyDeleteRikidozan was stabbed to death by a fan. Bobby Heenan was shot at during a match. Ric Flair lost the NWA World Title in the Dominican Republic because of a riot.
ReplyDeleteWrestling fans USED to take wrestling VERY seriously. And they got results.
That sucks.
ReplyDeleteWHAT Rikidozan stabbed?
ReplyDeleteYeah, but I'm not going. Just watching on TV.
ReplyDeleteThat stinks, but who knows maybe some that watched the Rumble will pick it up from there and get the rest of the crowd fired up.
ReplyDeleteI hope they prove me wrong.
ReplyDeleteWe're pretty bad to be honest. Which is surprising considering 90% of the city blindly supports a football team with no hope.
ReplyDeleteOh come on, man. Go! Be the first to toss garbage at Batista!
ReplyDeleteAnd a Baseball team, and a Basketball team.
ReplyDeleteLast night there were a bunch of other Clevelanders so maybe they'll be taking it to Raw tonight.
ReplyDeleteI feel we could rewrite "The Taking of Triple H" and just replace Chris Benoit with Daniel Bryan and it would work.
ReplyDeleteScream "Steroids"
ReplyDeleteThe Cavs and Indians have a better chance of being successful than the Browns do.
ReplyDeleteHey, Tribe won 92! Next year will probably revert back to 80
ReplyDeleteTrue.
ReplyDeleteOn December 8, 1963, while partying in a Tokyo nightclub, Rikidōzan was stabbed with a urine-soaked blade by a man named Katsuji Murata who belonged to the ninkyō dantai (Yakuza) Sumiyoshi-ikka. Reportedly, Rikidōzan threw Murata out of the club and continued to party, refusing to seek medical help. [3] Another report states that Rikidōzan did indeed see his physician shortly after the incident, and was told the wound was not serious. He died a week later of peritonitis on December 15. It is rumored by Kimura that his murder was in retaliation for when Rikidozan attacked Kimura during a wrestling match, after Kimura delivered an errant kick to Rikidozan's groin, ignoring a pre-match arrangement and attacking Kimura for real. [
ReplyDeleteSo it was the piss that killed him essentially?
ReplyDeleteHe might of survived had it not been soaked in urine.
I wish the Browns would move again.
ReplyDeletePittsburgh isn't exactly a smark-haven. The Bryan thing has at least partially transcended the "Internet nerds only!" thing, even if the Internet would have you believe otherwise.
ReplyDeleteWell that was graphic, let's talk about Brody.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, that Rumble could have been booked so much better. Why not bring Patterson back for one weekend to book the Rumble match?
ReplyDeleteAnd a Price is Right host.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason that the crowd was that way was because it was a Big 4 PPV.
ReplyDeleteAny other PPV, they probably wouldn't of given a shit.
Maybe we could start a #CutForDanielBryan campaign, until he wins the world title!!
ReplyDeletehttp://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/cuttingforbieber
Sooo...only smarks spend money to attend the second biggest event of the year? Seems unlikely.
ReplyDeleteMaybe everyone is pissed off with the weather and ready to cut loose.
ReplyDelete4chan really is filled with the worst kind of people.
ReplyDeleteViolence or GTFO.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing,a friend of mine watched the rumble and thought it was excellent,he hates Bryan and was happy about big dave winning.
ReplyDeleteFirst class psychos
ReplyDeleteSomeone is watching too much ECW.
ReplyDeleteWhat caused this to happen, Bryan's joining then leaving the Wyatt's, or them announcing Bastia's return before the Rumble. I don't think the world would be that mad if WWE did that.
ReplyDeleteI was obviously kidding, but yep, I sometimes worry about how seriously some here are taking this. Makes me wonder how far they'll go. Let's all remember that it's just a Wrestling show, people!
ReplyDeleteUsually I exercise to take my mind off of things that have been annoying me. But this is a DDP Yoga week, which doesn't help when the annoyance is wrestling.
ReplyDeleteI thought they hated Batista in Brazil.
ReplyDeleteAt least DDP is a positive thing. And completely unaffiliated with what's going on in WWE.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I obviously knew you were kidding but I'll see things on reddit mention something 4chan has done or is doing and it's always something that makes me cringe. I think I went to the site years ago and never went back.
ReplyDeleteI think it was a combination of factors. Not all them were about Daniel Bryan. It also had to do with being forced to see ANOTHER Cena/Orton match. And then Batista embarrassed himself out there last night when he was sloppy with almost everything he did, and then was gassed far too early.
ReplyDeleteHe loves the guy and Ryback too,he's got the Vince fetish.
ReplyDeleteVince likes guys who like what he likes.
ReplyDeleteWell maybe you, Scott and Jesse Baker can go kidnap HHH. I would keep an eye on Baker though, he'll probably rape Hunter with his massive dick.
ReplyDeleteLacing the weapon was a common tactic. In his book, Bobby Heenan talks about a wrestler that got stabbed in the leg with a knife that was soaked in pig fat. The resulting infection was a far bigger problem than the stab wound.
ReplyDeleteTHE TAKING OF HHH, REAL LIFE VERSION!! :)
ReplyDeleteFuck getting out of that garage.
ReplyDeleteBookers have ALWAYS ignored the will of the fans. Your forefathers were just a bit more forceful in taking what they wanted.
ReplyDeleteIf they wanted to play off last night, I believe the move to make would be to have HHH find a reason to move the title match up and Do Batista vs. Randy Orton at EC while the Chamber match itself is done to determine the Wrestlemania challenger. HHH turns on Orton to make Batista the new Authority endorsed champ and Bryan wins EC. Given the audience response last night, the heat would be off the charts in a Batista vs. Bryan match for the World tilte. Orton can be the Wyatt's next victim, leading to an unlikely alliance handicap match: Cena and Orton vs. The Wyatts, or they could do Cena vs. Orton vs. Bray triple threat.
ReplyDeleteAre you fucking nuts? No Penis Provided might be more your speed.
ReplyDeleteThat site sure gets under some people's skins, eh?? I swear that there's more free advertising of it here than anywhere else on the net.
ReplyDeleteSteroids, yes.
ReplyDeleteSafe bet no one is cutting themselves. I don't give a fuck about No Penis Provided. Scotsman paid for this site, the whole thing is a work.
ReplyDeleteI just made a joke, and you seem incredibly upset about it. I'll just... quietly walk away now...
ReplyDeleteanal?
ReplyDeleteI found the NPP stuff amusing for a few days but then got bored wit it. They talk about us, eh, I don't care.
ReplyDeleteI'm not upset bro, I actually used to like some of Scotsmans stuff, I' was a huge Wrestleline fan.
ReplyDeleteThe original was bad enough
ReplyDeleteYou guys have the Miz!
ReplyDeleteI'll drop it right after this, but I just find it funny how I see the site mentioned here several times a day. Like it's totally eating people alive that another site is making fun of them. I believe you when you say it doesn't bother you, but others... It's pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'd say that Jesse Baker is Anakin (he's the one who anally raped HHH), Zanatude is Y2J, and Scooter is... well...
ReplyDeleteI'm the most excited for Raw as I have been in months...for all the wrong reasons
ReplyDeleteI know we're all very annoyed right now, but maybe the best thing to do is just live well. Focus on cultivating a satisfying existence in which you realize that the events which take place on a professional wrestling program ultimately have no bearing in the greater scheme of your existence. Be charitable and loving towards those around you; feed your intellect; nurture your spirit. In doing these things you will find yourself insulated from the foolhardy choices made by an arrogant "entertainment" promoter. This is what I plan to do, at least.
ReplyDeleteAh, who am I kidding. I'll probably kick a whole in my TV set and unleash a torrent of profanity laced Tweets after Raw tonight.
Ask Mick Foley if you can borrow his brick.
ReplyDeleteHad Batista been a surprise he'd have been the second most over guy on the show. Announcing him ahead of time (or letting it leak, whatever) was a massive misstep and has destroyed any chance of him working as a face right now.
ReplyDeleteNaah, the boom period is over, so when you have a big name returning, you advertise the hell out of it. The days of "We must watch every show just in case something big happens" are over a decade gone.
ReplyDeleteRespectfully disagree. I think had they kept Batista a surprise, they'd have popped last week's rating tonight (as he was only onscreen for seven or eight minutes in the Rumble and didn't promo or interact with anyone important), and still had a pretty good rating last week on the strength of the Bryan/Wyatt segment the week before.
ReplyDeleteYou had one job, Jamie Noble :(
ReplyDeleteHe was probably too busy having a foursome with Nidia, Billy gunn and Torrie Wilson.
ReplyDeleteEverything he suggested probably made too much sense.
ReplyDeleteI support said football team and am from St. Louis. Sometimes it's just hopeless. At least I'm from a good wrestling city, and with people here obsessed with baseball I can enjoy rasslin' with little blowback.
ReplyDeleteThey're the ones voicing their opinions.

ReplyDelete*ACK* BATISTA!
Was his username pik?
ReplyDeleteMy idea on how to fix the Bryan/Batista thing: Tonight on Raw, have HHH cut a promo acknowledging the controversy. He says Bryan was scheduled for the Rumble but at the last second a better wrestler was cleared and took his spot, and he introduced Sheamus.
ReplyDeleteFast forward to 30, Bryan beats Sheamus in 18 seconds. Fans love it but are kinda bummed they don't get more of Bryan. Orton/Batista closes. Fans shit all over like Cena/Orton last night. End of the match. Bryan runs in and lays out both guys with knees and steals the titles. Thunderous YES! chant. In the chaos, Batista wins.
Next night on Raw, Batista vs Bryan in a ladder match for the titles at Extreme Rules is set up. Bryan goes over. Give him until Summerslam to prove himself, if he doesn't, you can take the title off him.
He's *got* one job - fall guy for the decision Size Queen Vince made.
ReplyDeletenope.

ReplyDeleteTrue - if we eat less sugar and get more cardiovascular exercise, we'll be able to boo Vince longer and louder!
ReplyDeleteTonight the WWE will officially change his name to Dumbiel Brainless and he's going to have to start wrestling with his hair spiked into a red Mohawk.
ReplyDelete"Vince and HHH both acknowledged the noise backstage. However, there are no current plans to change their WrestleMania plans as a result."
ReplyDeleteMan, if these guys were running the company back in 1997, Austin wouldn't have won the Rumble in 1998 and somehow Triple H would have.
Look at the reaction he got after turning on Bray. That wasn't smarks.
ReplyDeleteI know people like that. Doesn't matter how terrible someone is in the ring, if they are big and look tough, they cheer for them to win. Luckily that type of fan wasn't the majority at the Rumble.
ReplyDeleteActually, Jesse is Anakin, Y2Q is Caliber and who would Scooter be now? I'm being serious, who would fill the role of the leader and not Scott Keith as he seems to have moved on and lives a pretty good life.
ReplyDeleteSo the "casuals" buy tickets to the event but then don't cheer?
ReplyDelete'Vince and HHH both acknowledged the noise backstage.'
ReplyDeletei.e., "dont they know that they're not behaving the way they're supposed to be behaving? they're all grounded!"
You guys all suck. I'm selling for jobber but her my buy. Booger sugar. ..scheck....
ReplyDeleteThe idea that there's no room for surprises anymore is absurd. Might as well argue that the WWE should publish the results of Raw before the show goes live.
ReplyDeleteMan they sure do hire random people for prominent positions. Does Kidman still have Briscoe's old job? I'm not speaking on their job performance, just the fact that you wouldn't think those guys would be in charge of important stuff.
ReplyDeleteI dunno. No telling who has the mind for the biz just based on their matches
ReplyDeleteLike you wouldn't want in on that.
ReplyDeleteBREAKING NEWS: Major match that determines direction of the company booked on a napkin two hours before airtime. Also, sky blue and bears shit in woods. More at 11.
ReplyDeleteJust as long as it's not more at 411
