These House Show Notes Are Pretty Interesting

(1) Erick Rowan def. Fandango.Surprisingly Rowan was pretty over with the crowd.

(2) Lucha Dragons def. Bo Dallas & Tyler Breeze. The Dragons weren’t really over until they started doing high-flying stuff, which got everyone into them. Dallas and Breeze play a great dysfunctional duo, as they’re basically opposite heel characters.

(3) R-Truth def. Luke Harper. Truth came out with the I.C. title, and Bad News Barrett stole it during the match.

(4) Natalya & Emma def. Sasha Banks & Summer Rae. I could have done with a lot more Sasha. Nattie was super over.

(5) Roman Reigns def. Big Show. Reigns wasn’t booed very much, but he also just wasn’t nearly as popular as they need him to be right. Come on, this is your Mania main eventer and he’s working pre-intermission matches with Big Show two weeks before the big title match? Show had a lot of heat. The match just wasn’t very interesting.

(6) The New Day (Big E & Xavier Woods) def. The Ascension. The former NXT champs cut their promo about being better than all the legendary tag teams; nobody cared.

(7) Bad News Barrett def. Dolph Ziggler & Dean Ambrose in a triple threat match for the I.C. title. This was really good, the best match of the show by far. Truth and Harper both got involved at the end. I’m not 100% sure, but I believe Truth left with the title again.

(8) Daniel Bryan def. Kane in a Portland Street Fight. PDX may not always care about Seattle (except when it’s NFL season and we have to steal their team) but Bryan was more over than anybody I’ve seen on the 4 WWE live events I’ve been to over the years. He won with the running knee strike into a chair.

Pretty fun live event with the second half much better than the first. Two things I can’t get over – 1) They clearly don’t perceive Reigns as a main event yet are running with him at WrestleMania, and 2) Bryan is way more over, yet he’s in the midcard title match at WrestleMania; they realize this, because he wasn’t even loosely affiliated with that program tonight. Instead he main evented. Go figure.

their irrational misuse of Bryan is astronomically dumb.

 

[Reggie]

It's very rare that you hear of a company who intentionally sabotages themselves. fukk pushing who you think has a certain look and push who the fans want to see. Daniel Bryan vs Brock Lesnar was an easy story to tell and would have helped them to sell more tickets. And in the grand scheme of things isn't making money the whole point of this shyt anyway. Reigns had been forced down our throats instead of letting his build happen organically and it will backfire on them at Mania.

 

[The G.O.D II]

Reigns is probably going on 4th from the top at Mania. Vince gambled at Fast lane and is now having regrets

 

[R=G]

So they got Reigns and Bryan taking turns headlining...well..Bryan headlined this one and Seattle of course.

Sometimes I wish Bryan would politic ala HBK. But he's too much of a saint

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

Uncle Luke even losing at house shows

No idea, but i think he's signed recently again since being brought back in 2010

Yea, Bryan could go the Punk route, but if you're showing up to chant "YES" they already have your money and that's seemingly good enough for them.

nah if bryan left for whatever reason it would be a huge blow for them. granted they weren't pinning their main event hopes on him but he was at least a solid plan B should they ever be forced to call an audible. plus he is another fan favorite. first punk, then bryan... the company would have a bad smell coming from it. why are all these guys leaving?

it would seriously force them to reconsider their current position. again not saying the boat sinks once he jumps ship, but it brings them A LOT closer to the iceberg.

There was a report with a lot of WWE contracts when Orton was going through his divorce.

I don't remember if Bryan was in year two of his contract in 2012, or if he signed a new 3 year deal. If it's the latter, then his contract expires soon.

Now, I don't see any scenario were he leaves WWE. He doesn't care much about his position. Dude just wants to wrestle and make some good money while having an insurance.
