Strummer

I agree with Loss. The fact that they don't want to take the belt off .Bryan shows they feel they have no one else to put it on. Cena is really the only option and that's still going to piss a lot of people off

So now they are outright saying Batista has sucked since his comeback. Can't see him being popular with management backstage

other than the pre and post shows and the desk cutaways how are they presenting a real sports product?

PWI says Bryan's surgery was a success. He's already up walking around wearing a soft neck brace. Obviously no news of a timetable for return

As I mentioned earlier the product has become depressing with the Authority stuff dominating the TV. Besides the Rhodes brothers stuff and mania (and I guess the recent Shield stuff) Hunter and Stephanie have not been one upped pretty much at all. They disparage the babyfaces and are often proven correct. The McMahon Helmsley stuff 15 years ago lasted around three months and even when Vince joined them they were always showing ass. This has been going on for nearly a year with minimal babyface revenge. Excellent heel work but often leaves a depressing cloud over WWE TV. This is all going against WWE doctrine and how they've pretty much always presented their product. I don't see it ending anytime soon either

Plus I'm still getting the impression they are still unsure of Bryan as a top guy. Not just with the Kane stuff either. You can tell when WWE is behind a guy and it's not shining through with the booking here. And as someone at CRZ's board mentioned the Authority stuff is getting played out and there is no end in sight for it. Not to take away anything from the performances of Steph and Hunter but damn how much longer can they go on with this? It's been nearly a year of heels in charge with only patches of babyface triumph

Meltz also said that they haven't decided to strip Bryan of the title yet. That is why Stephanie didn't announce it tonight. They are waiting for the results on Thursday

Meltz says Bryan will be out 6 to 8 weeks. He could make the 6/29 PPV

Looks like they ate going through with the Steph v Brie feud

I know I'm probably in the vast minority but I'm not digging false sincere Steph. She should go back to how she was in the build to Mania

You know they never officially announced that .Kane was getting a rematch at Payback so maybe they can get around that

I thought it said they don't know when he will be back. I can't see him returning from neck surgery in 2 weeks

You would think they would have to put the belt on Cena. Batista is leaving, Kane is Kane, Big Show is damaged beyond repair, Orton is so toast as a top guy for now, Wyatt and the Shield guys aren't ready. Maybe H and he drops it to Reign at SS. I have no idea

I think the best possible thing would be for him to surrender the title or have Stephanie strip him of the gold

I just hope they don't lose faith in him.

Apparently Daniel Bryan has a hurt neck and needs surgery. He is going to be written of the show tonight. I'm not making this up. My God. It's from sea scoops but Meltz confirmed something major has changed.

On SD they edited the Bryan Kane stuff to make it look more like Bryan was protecting Brie. Still terrible but it made it seem like Bryan was only concerned for Brie. I shudder to think what they have planned for Monday. Just end this stuff at Payback Oh and the comentary was outwardly comparing it to a horror movie

If Stephanie were to win would she be the first person to win both Worst non wrestler performer (2001-2003) and best?

Flair's segment drew the highest QH of the show last week. For that reason the company is thinking about offering him a role on TV

PWI is reporting .Kane will be taking time off after Payback. It will be a buried alive match Also they might do individual matches with the Shield v Evolution at the PPV instead of a six man. Can't see them doing Reigns v Hunter yet

That Connor video is just heart wrenching it's difficult to get mad at the company or the people running it after watching that video

Holy crap Hunter has leaned down. Orton looks bigger than him now

Mr T and Zeb may have saved this show

Stephanie has been an excellent heel but I even found her annoying tonight. I understand the feigned concern but its impossible to buy since she was calling for him to be drowned two months ago. Everything about this didn't work

You can see why they didn't trust her in the build to Mania. I wonder if they still will do a full program with Stephanie
