remember the motto of "nobody does PPV's like the WWF"

:mjcry:

So many awful matches tonight. Big Show vs Rowan, Ryback vs Kane, I fell asleep during the show and eventually changed it to catch the end of the DAL/PHI game.

2nd worst ppv of the year behind HIAC.

I know we're only paying $9.99, but c'mon Vince.:scust:

Yes it's the wrestlers fault that booking is bad. These guys are entitled so that means they just don't want it bad enough.


Look guys. I'm as big a wrestling fan there is. For fukks sake @Hollywood Hogan look at what my avi is. I mean who makes their coli picture one of themselves? But for the sake of our dignity as fans and in hopes of reaching this company's ears, we need to totally stop watching. We need to cancel our network subscriptions or at least just share our password with friends to minimize costs. We need to write to the wrestlers to demand fair treatment or leave. This product is genuinely worse to me than David arquette as WCW champ. We need to hurt this product even if it means we don't get our pro wrestling fix. At this point I think things have bottomed out and we really gotta do something. I mean it's been 4 months since we even got a clean finish on pay per view.

Totally agree with you except that is me in my avi I ain't got nothing to hide!

This is a downtime. So much talent but so little is being shown not by the talent but by booking. There's no excitement and the 3 hour raws are just killing me every monday. When WCW went to 3 hours I feel like that's when they started going off the rails.

I can understand why a thread wasn't made. I tuned a little later in the PPV and it was straight up ASS cheeks. Just seemed worst than a RAW and a Smackdown combined. Everything was thrown together like a filler jobber match. It was :scust:overall. Has to be the worst PPV this year, even worse than HIAC. Bray and Dean were pretty good though. I knew Bray was going to take this win because he needed it more. Dean still has good booking regardless. I didn't even know they wre main eventing. :ehh: Hated the way they had Roman's return...I mean come on...they had him come back to help him win against Seth?! :stopitslime:

Was just an episode of Raw without all the in ring promos and attempts at "comedy"

funny I've been watching Raw from 1998 on the Network and the PPVs from that era as well. The is no feel of these PPVs being different from Raw like was back in the day. and the attention to detail they would use in angles is sorely lacking today. little things like, if my friend is in the ring getting beat up, I come out to help him unless there was a reason and that reason was known.

I tuned in right when Dolph was climbing the ladder to win :to: the ppv was background noise after that. I tried watching Rowan/Show and couldn't make it. Vince is delusional to think we want to watch this shyt.

Prime Time wrestling is better than this stupid shyt last night...the commentary about Cena's reaction is ear bleeding stuff. The worst.

Zigs and Harper kinda did they thing

Thing is with TLC they picked inopportune time to ask them to turn it up given the danger of certain matches
