I'll see how tired I am and when I run out of beer tickets I guess. I got here early and saw Speedy Ortiz, Perfect Pussy, Deafheaven, and Earl Sweatshirt all in a row so I'm pretty pooped. Plus for PPVs my friend John and I get together, order pizza and get tanked so it's something I look forward to every month. He might take work off tomorrow so we can start it later, then I can have my cake and eat it too!

I feel like they're going to at least try to go all out with this PPV as this is the re subscription month for tons of people using the WWE Network.

Why do that when Summerslam is next month? :effort:

It's ten loving dollars a month and if anyone can sit there and tell me that between stuff like Countdown, WrestleMania Rewind, a metric assload of VOD, and a PPV every month isn't good value for $10, well then I guess I just don't understand the value of a dollar. Like, people being frustrated with WWE's booking is totally understandable, but there's this undertone that the Network is a terrible ripoff or something, which is baffling to me.

Anyway, not super hyped for this PPV, but predicting Rollins/Ambrose alone will be worth my :10bux: and there's a bunch of other stuff that could be good too so let's do this!

Yeah I guess my point is it's a difference of $35-$45 a month based on the traditional model and with the archives and everything it's a little disingenuous to suggest that spending ten bucks a month on the Network is the same thing as buying PPVs in the traditional model.

Voting with your wallet is totally cool, but I find it silly to act like WWE is bilking people out of money.

Yes, and I've been secretly hoping for tonight's main event ending to be a callback with a weeping Brock Lesnar F-5'ing everyone in the ring.

I'm just glad that BNB will have a presence at the show, even if it is to just hand over the belt. I was legit afraid they were going to keep him out of shows and everyone forgets about him. They gotta keep doing it though, bring back the podium or whatever, remind everyone that when he comes back he's coming back for his belt or something.

i want it to be a success too and i generally like WWE but nobody should feel obligated to reward mediocre booking because it doesn't encourage WWE to change anything. We have a specific thread for discussing this sort of thing so lets get back on topic and talk about what food people are eating and misspelling john cena's name (john sena)

guys as much as we want Bo to be the IC champ, it's going to the Miz so Sheamus can unite the belts at summerslam

and then Sheamus can unite the US/IC championship with the WWEWHC belt by beating Bork Lesnar at WM31

Guys remember when we were all so unhappy with the direction of the Daniel Bryan booking and the clusterfuck endings and that they wouldn't put the belt on him, but at least there was a healthy DB putting on good matches in the main event at PPVs :smith:
