What Bryan buyrates are lower?

If this keeps up Daniel Bryan should win most underrated in the WON Awards for 2015. How crazy is that?

The only fans that are going to cancel is those immature kids on Twitter who sulked over what happened at the Ryumble. Quite frankly I enjoyed the event and to me thats all that matters. Its a huge over reaction because you get thousands of hours of classic footage to watch and thats a great service. Getting the current PPVs is just a bonus and if it bothers them that much buy the PPV from SKY/cable operator. What happens on a PPV shouldnt count for whether you do or dont want the network. Its still a great 24/7 channel. You do realize that the majority of people have the network for the current product and not for old footage otherwise WWE 24/7 would had been a huge success. Yeah Doc, sometimes it seems like you don't accept that you have a minority opinion on things.

Actually no. I thought the whole point of the Network was for people to watch classic WWE stuff and current PPVs is just a bonus. 24/7 was just classic stuff but no idea of what numbers it pulled because it wasent available in the UK. No, the whole point of the Network was ppv business was dying so this is the new way to promote ppvs. The Network will live in and die by current footage. WWE 24/7 died and wasn't promoted on tv after the first few months, so how successful do you think it was?

So, the idea for this is "They won't push us so let's STEAL THE SHOW!"? That's maybe the worst idea for those guys yet. People aren't annoyed that these guys aren't allowed to have good matches, they have good matches all the time. WWE are confusing their crowd for a ROH crowd watching Spanky vs. Jamie Noble. Is anything going to be on the line? Even a number one contender match would work as a way for the match to actually mean something. I think if they aren't going to push him to the main level, at least putting him in a great match with time that steals the show is the next best alternative.

On the PWO-PTBN Facebook page the Match Club is watching Joe Doering & Suwama vs Go Shiozaki & Kento Miyahara (AJPW, January 2, 2015). Anybody have any thoughts on that one?

There could be your WrestleMania opponent for Bryan.

I completely disagree with this. Bryan should be the top act at least until SummerSlam. He is cleared to wrestle, so the neck is fine and there is no way in hell that Roman would be hurt by waiting another year. He's simply not ready. They've already gone through with it. Back peddling on reigns now will make everything ten times worse. Bryan can still be slotted into the main event for summer slam and we know the audience will buy it. Reigns doesn't have that luxury. I've got two words for you, "Injury angle".

This makes me sad - I am sure Grimmas, Kaufman316 and yourself could go and meet up at a SMASH show? I am probably going to be in Toronto for work purposes once a year and if timed correctly would love to go see a SMASH show with some of you guys. Musgrave too! PWO meet up at Smash in February!

Didn't the UK launch just start though? EDIT: 18th of January.

How do you salvage WrestleMania 31 now? If you are stuck with Reigns-Brock you really need Heyman to go with Reigns and Brock to go babyface. Ideally you re-sign Brock and he retains then you build up Reigns as a heel. Where does that leave Bryan? What if Rusev makes Cena submit at Fast Lane and Bryan takes on Rusev at Mania? Seth-Orton, Triple H-Sting are fine. Of course Cena, Dolph, Bray, Ambrose, Cesaro are all out there still. I like the idea of Cena being old and beaten down and not being able to cut it anymore so he wants to face a young gun at Mania to prove he still has it. Someone like Ambrose, Dolph or Cesaro.

WCW had a match (Nash vs Goldberg vs Steiner) where Goldberg refused to go up for a power bomb and do the job so he walked out. Afterwards the announcers had to talk about how unprofessional Goldberg was and now how Nash and Steiner had to improvise and come up with a finish on the fly. That is the worst booking in the history of wrestling and there is no comparison at all.

Hopefully! Its about time Rusev lost. It is so not the time for Rusev to lose and especially to Cena.

WrestleMania 31 1. Stardust beats Goldust. They make up post match. After Fast Lane there issues keep up and they settle them here. 2. The Usos successfully defend their titles against Harper & Kidd. Backstage Harper is confronted by Paul Heyman leaving Kidd alone. 3. Charlotte defeats Natayla. Proving divas are inferior. She is the future of wrestling. 4. Sting/Randy Orton/Dean Ambrose/Roman Reigns defeat Triple H/Sheamus/Seth Rollins/Big Show in a crazy brawl. All of these guys on Sting's team are tormented by the Authority leading to Mania. Roman is very focused on taking out Triple H, but they are all looking for revenge. Post match Seth flips out on Triple H for being pinned and attacks him. Roman joins in and it looks like a Shield reunion, however Dean just walks away. Double team power bomb Triple H through the table, he is stretchered out. 5. Dolph Ziggler defeats Sami Zayn in their final match up to retain the IC Title. 6. Rusev defeats John Cena by submission to retain the US Title. After weeks of hounding, Cena agrees to come back after Rusev takes out a member of the US Army. Post match Cena is out and looks to be taken out by a stretcher when Harper appears on the ramp. He comes to ringside when the lights go out and Bray Wyatt returns in his chair (there was cryptic promos leading up to the show). The two of them corner Cena when the Shield's music hits. Roman & Seth both come to the ring to stop Harper and Bray. They do a stare down and then turn to all stare at Cena and completely annihilate him. Heyman then makes an appearance about how Cena let down himself, the WWE universe and America. These four men are the future of the WWE, but to be the future you have to kill the past. Menaing John Cena. 7. Andre the Giant battle royal won by Cesaro who gets a title shot at Extreme Rules. Cesaro is now a babyface after Fast Lane. 8. Daniel Bryan with The Undertaker in his corner defeats Brock Lesnar. Leading up to this match Heyman keeps trying to interfere, so Bryan goes to Taker for help. They train together and Taker agrees to be in his corner to keep his eye on Heyman and get revenge for last year. There you go, fuck the WWE and their shitty Royal Rumble mine was way better!

WWE Fast Lane, 2/22 from Memphis, TN Jerry Lawler returns as the WWE President. 1. Dolph Ziggler defeats Sami Zayn in a sprint match with a roll up. 2. The Usos destroy The Ascension. 3. Rusev comes out for his match they pull John Cena's name from a hat, he is not there. Rusev and Lana declare victory. Lawler interrupts and says he has an official list of competitors who are here and pulls out Goldust's name. A great match, which Stardust costs Goldust the win in the end. 4. Charlotte and Natayla beat The Bellas. Triple H and Stephanie call out Sting and make a challenge for Mania. A Street Fight Triple H brings the Authority and Sting brings his crew. He knows he is out of a job, but if he is out then he is taking Sting and company with him! 5. Luke Harper & Tyson Kidd defeat Ambrose & Reigns when Seth Rollins and Sheamus distract the referee leading to a Big Show KO punch on Roman. 6. Daniel Bryan defeats Cesaro after Heyman who was commentating at ringside tries to interfere by Cesaro stops him because he wants to do it on his own. 7. Randy Orton defeats Seth Rollins in a Falls Count Anywhere match after a miscue by the Stooges.

Build up to Fast Lane. The Authority. The share holders hold a hearing on the WWE Network with many witnesses. It is confirmed they abused power and are removed from power. The legends committee will be the match makers and will be overseen by a new WWE President to be announced at Fast Lane. Triple H and Steph blame Sting and the babyfaces and demand Sting shows up at Fast Lane. The tournament wages on and looks like this coming into the show: New Age Outlaws_ | Sami Zayn & Dolph Ziggler______ |_Double Z___ | Double Z__| | The Miz & Damien Mizdow______| | |Kidd/Harper_ Los Matadores_______________ | | | Matadores__ | | The Vaudevillians_____________| | | | |Kidd/Harper_| | Jack Swagger & Justin Gabriel____ | | |Kidd/Harper__| | Tyson Kidd & Luke Harper_______| | |__WINNER The Shield___________________ | |Shield _____ | Curtis Axel & Titus O'Neill________| | | |_Shield_____ | A New Day___________________ | | | |Dust Bros___| | | Goldust & Stardust_____________| | | |_Shield_____| Adam Rose & The Bunny________ | |Authority____ | Seth Rollins & Sheamus_________| | | |_Authority___| The Lucha Dragons_| During the tournament Orton is dragged out by security in every Authority match to not interfere. Finally he gets in a shot against The Shield costing Rollins the match. Also Roman seems to have a single focus on taking out The Authority now. The Bellas are pissed about the interference in their rematches and they go to the committee and get a tag match for Fast Lane. If Natayla/Charlotte win nothing changes, if Bellas win they face each other for Divas Title at Mania. Cena doesn't show up on TV after walking out. Lana says that Rusev will pull a name out of a hat and face that person at Fast Lane. He continues to dominate. After Ziggler/Zayn are taken out of the tournament they agree to a rematch for the IC Title on Smackdown. The match goes to an hour draw, and a rematch is signed for Fast Lane. It is set with no time limit. So, Fast Lane Randy Orton vs Seth Rollins (Falls Count Anywhere) Daniel Bryan vs Cesaro (If Cesaro wins, he is the first challenger if Bryan wins the title) Natayla & Charlotte vs The Bellas (If Bellas win, winner of fall gets Divas Title and other Bella is #1 Contender) Rusev vs name drawn from hat (US Title) The Ascension vs The Usos (Tag Titles) Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns vs Tyson Kidd & Luke Harper (Lou Albano Tournament Finals) Dolph Ziggler vs Sami Zayn (IC Title)

Rusev-Cena is the only good thing on the show. Yuck.

I think the Rumble killed everything. Tonight I will post what my plan was and give up on this idea altogether.

They couldn't wait one year with Reigns? Why the rush? Give Bryan is actually run and then next year give it to Reigns. He's young and has room to grow, SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!

I don't know I've seen a fair bit of Cena and he only ever seems to hit finishers to me. It's like his entire offensive arsenal is built around the idea of the false finish. Product of the time I guess, but as I've watched more 70s wrestling, I've become less and less enamoured at the very concept of a finisher and here's a guy who seems to be only finisher. I did enjoy the match, but I had it at **** and others seem to be talking about it in MOTY terms, so I'm guessing I'm lower than most. Part of me also wonders if that was Scott Steiner circa 1992 or Kurt Angle circa 2002 throwing 20 German suplexes people might not be going so ga ga over it. But Brock seems to get a pass. But you know me, I love suplexes! I didn't think Rollins was very good in the match, and the stretch with Cena brought it down a fair bit. I had the three way at 4 stars too. It was real good, but a lot of aspects I hated. A final singles match between Brock-Cena would had been better. So, where do they go with Mania? Brock-Roman Triple H-Sting Rusev-Cena Rollins-Orton Outside of Rusev-Cena that is a shitty upper card. What are they doing with Dean, Dolph, Bryan who are the main over guys on the roster. Bray? What a mess.

Don't worry Bryan will win under the bunny outfit

How cool would it be with Rusev being alone in the ring, Rock comes out and then Rusev throws him out immediately?

Over here I am booking the WWE in 2015 and I thought this would be a good place to post my Royal Rumble card. WWE Royal Rumble, 1/25 Live from Philadelphia, PA Pre-Show Match: Divas Royal Rumble (Emma, Brie Bella, Alicia Fox, Naomi, Charlotte, Paige, Rosa Mendes, Summer Rae, Cameron, Layla, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Bayley, Alexa Bliss & a Mystery diva) A normal Rumble match. The mystery diva is AJ Lee. The NXT girls look good and the final four come down to Brie, AJ Lee, Paige & Charlotte. Charlotte tosses Brie as we are out of time on the Pre-Show and the main Royal Rumble show is starting. The show starts as the final three of Charlotte, Paige and AJ Lee are in the ring. AJ is able to toss Paige which leads to a finishing sequence where Charlotte gets the win and will go on to WrestleMania XXXI to face the Divas Champion. Michael Cole, JBL & William Regal welcome us the Royal Rumble and talk about the upcoming show. Renee Young interviews Natayla, Cesaro & Tyson Kidd about their upcoming matches. 1) WWE Tag Team Titles Match: The Usos © vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd The Usos get the victory with a diving splash on Tyson Kidd in about 15 minutes. After the match Cesaro attacks and lays out Tyson Kidd for being the loser. 2) WWE Divas Title Match: Nikki Bella © w/ Brie Bella vs Natayla Natayla gains the victory in about 9 minutes cleanly. A video package showing what happened on Raw with The Authority and how Sting has been hired by the share holders to keep the Authority in line. 3) Winner Enters the Rumble Street Fight: Big Show vs Roman Reigns A wild and out of control brawl that goes about 14 minutes. At one point Kane came out to help Show, but Sting chased him off. Roman hits the Superman punch and is setting up for the Spear, when The Stooges appear from under the ring and grab his leg allowing Show to hit the knock out blow which Roman kicks out of. Roman hits the spear and beats Show to enter the Rumble later tonight. A video package shows the history of Brock vs Cena and what this match means. 4) WWE World Heavyweight Title Match: Brock Lesnar © w/ Paul Heyman vs John Cena Brock Lesnar makes John Cena submit to the Brock-Lock in the middle of the ring cleanly in about 17 minutes. 5) Royal Rumble Match (Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Luke Harper, Titus O'Neill, Curtis Axel, Bad News Barrett, Sami Zayn, Dean Ambrose, Goldust, Stardust, Damien Mizdow, The Miz, Ryback, Kane, Fandango, Justin Gabriel, Diego, Fernando, David Otunga, Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods, Erick Rowan, Adam Rose, The Bunny, Rusev, surpise entrant, & Roman Reigns) Number 1 is Dolph Ziggler, number 2 is Luke Harper and number 3 is Dean Ambrose. The first portion is all about Ambrose, Luke & Dolph running through people. Kofi Kingston does his wacky spot in the middle portion. Big E eliminates him and Woods. Stardust accidentally eliminates Goldust. At number 14 out comes Rusev who eliminates a LOT of guys. At 15 is Roman Reigns who teams up with all of the remaining folks Dolph, Luke, Sami Zayn & Big E to throw out Rusev. Daniel is out next and we are heading towards the finishing sequence. When we are at number 30, Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Dolph Ziggler, Luke Harper, Kane, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose are in the ring. After a long pause, Randy Orton comes out and goes right after Seth Rollins and throws him out. Orton goes after him to brawl through out the arena, when Triple H appears on the ramp. He says that Orton is not a part of the match and the real number 30 is SHEAMUS! Sheamus and Kane team up to toss Ambrose. The final four come down to Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Sheamus and Kane and it turns into a tag match of sorts. Bryan tosses Kane and as Kane is on the outside he throws a fire ball at Roman which allows Sheamus to dump him. At this point the rest of The Authority come to ringside as it is Sheamus & Bryan left. The announcers talk about their past. As The Authority tries to trip up Bryan, Sting appears and chases them off leaving Bryan and Sheamus alone. Bryan tosses Sheamus after a long sequence for the win. He completes the come back and will head to WrestleMania XXXI to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Title in the main event.

It seems the only match currently in my top 5 that is not mentioned is: AJ Styles vs Tetsuya Naito (NJPW WK9) I thought this was a real fun match and the second best match on the Dome show. Anyway, my top 5 list will remain in my signature through out 2015.
