Guess This Is Why Vince Not Feeling D.Bryan

Vince Calls SSlam a "Swing & a Miss"

During today's conference call to discuss the third quarter financial results, Vince McMahon said he was not happy with this year's SummerSlam buy rate, and felt fans didn't "buy the attraction." He went on to say that for PPV, you need the right attraction, and SummerSlam was a "swing and a miss" for WWE.

Cant wait til he sees the battleground and NOC buys then

Yep. That seems about right. Can't wait for that Huge Mania push that "we all know" is supposed to be coming way next year. And now to enjoy this new feud with Redneck Raven's Flock. That B+ player shyt was a shoot the whole time

Truth be told, in this economy, no one is going to paying for shyt ppv's. The only two focused matches were Brock Lesnar v. CM Punk, and Daniel Bryan v. Cena. Cena, and Brock Lesnar were on the card as well, so it's not like Bryan and Punk don't draw.

Live crowd reactions don't mean much these days for ratings or PPV buys. Honestly, for a fan like me this has been a great year for WWE. The in-ring product has been great between Bryan, Shield, now Rhodes brothers, Usos, Lesnar's couple appearances, Punk, etc...

Problem is still the writing. Most casual fans buy PPVs or tune into RAW because they are intrigued by the stories and especially the spectacle. That's why an initial encounter between Rock/Cena can do so well even if everyone realizes the actual match might not be that great. Plus, casual fans aren't running out to buy PPVs other than WM like that anymore... They are too expensive and the payoffs have sucked.

The Bryan story line started off well and HHH has been an effective heel authority figure but the shyt got convoluted real quick. Creative should suffer most of the blame but Steph would never admit fault... It's easier to just write a guy like Bryan off and just plug Cena who has drawn back into the main event scene.

I don't think Bryan is going to fall TOO far down the card because he's still one of the more popular guys they have... but I don't see this big WM payoff. It's more likely he's involved in a secondary feud heading into Mania.

but remember, daniel bryan vs. John Cena* wasn't a big build-up. It was straight up Cena saying "i guess I'll face daniel bryan ." It wasn't a multi-month drawn out fued which ALWAYS sells better. They exasperated the situation by teasing daniel bryan fans for months vs. RKO*. I expect buyrates to dip, and bryan to take the fall.

I thought that whole setup was bullshyt. Why give Cena the right to choose his opponent? Maybe it was a was to help get Cena over, but I'da preferred to see the title shot actually earnt. Even if they'd use the Bellas to spark the fued it's better than nothing. Summerslam was a good show though I remember being excited to watch Punk vs Brock and Cena vs Bryan just cause both matches had a big first time feel.
