Do you guys think they'll be smart and have Roman/Jinder go less than a minute?

I think the real question is what chant will the crowd use: "you both suck", "gently caress this match", or "bathroom break"?

Except worse since Joe actually knows how to do a resthold.

I'm giving even odds at something being thrown at the ring during the match.

I hope they have the balls to make it the last match on the show

So for some strange reason my buddy is trying to score last minute tickets to MITB tonight, even though we just saw one of the WWE PPV's of the year last night. I keep trying to talk him out of it, but he's seriously about to drop around $200 on what's is sure to be a mostly mediocre PPV.

The best thing to do would be for the crowd to turn their backs or leave and be silent. Just imagine droves of fan leaving the arena for a piss break during the wide shots of Roman's entrance.

Jinder vs Roman is going to be a match where they run through first year wrestling school spots until they get to a high spot that Jinder won't take so the Singh brothers will get beat up. It will be 20 minutes probably.

Jinder is going to win via the other Singh brother returning and it will be a 5 star match.

The Roman Vs Jinder match will be meticulously laid out by every road agent, move for move, minute for minute, to make sure it's a good match. It'll be surprisingly passable and be brought up as proof that Roman can carry piss poor opponents.

It won't matter cos the crowd will poo poo all over it and it'll seem terrible anyway. Which it will be.

What were they thinking. These 2 guys. With this crowd. They're not this clueless, they can't be

It's easy to explain the reaction away on commentary tho, see, Chicago is bizarro land where they boo those they normally cheer and boo those they normally boo!

Dave said on Observer Radio Velveteen Dream was on the list of scheduled callups post-Mania and it's possible they held off to get another Takeover match out of him. Now that the match with Ricochet's done and they're still in Chicago this week, it's possible he moves up this week

I am very down on the current WWE product but my non-spoiler preview of MITB is internally it is being viewed as a big one in terms of newsworthy events and if I was on the fence I'd watch it.

WWE's value has more than tripled in the last year.

What reason do they have to think they're doing anything wrong, or are out of touch, or anything like that?

Because the value they've accumulated is from things outside of fan interest, viewership and attendance. So they are making shows for stockholders and large corporations.

I am pretty sure the half a billion dollars a year they're getting starting in 2019 for Raw and Smackdown is because of their viewership.

A bunch of people will have paid WWE a ton of money to chant for CM Punk tonight, despite CM Punk having been gone from WWE for longer than Steve Austin's entire time as the top guy in wrestling. That's a measure of success for more or less any standard that matters.

It'll actually be really important that they do good ratings on FOX next year. So they might start actually trying to put out good shows. If they think they can just get away with whatever, then, uh, FOX will cancel the poo poo out of them and their long term future will be "We're hosed!".
