i don't even think they are trying to bury him otherwise bray would have just beaten him. I agree that its lovely and stupid but they really know how to bury someone when they want to and it doesn't look like this. I'm not suggesting this finish was an attempt to keep him strong.

basically. this is just what they think good writing is

Yeah when the people in charge tell you "You're gonna go out there and lose to a television" there's not a whole lot you can do there.

Well, if the Rumble is a disappointment then it's time to cancel the Network until the next NXT show.

I kind of dig being able to yank my money when the WWE is being massively retarded. It doesn't do any damage to them in the long run but it gives me the illusion of power :unsmith:

The idea that we shoulda all known it would be mediocre going in isnt a good excuse to host a mediocre product. It's that kind of thinking that has allowed standards to fall so low.

"Thanks for the money jerks, we know you expect nothing for the money so you will get just that in return!"

I'm beginning to fall into the thought that when wrestling is good it's due to luck and coincidence and maybe this is just what it is?

As a generally casual fan who likes posting in these threads because it gives me something to do with my vast tracts of free time and also because the GDTs make Raw and the PPVs watchable, that match made Dean look like a dumb idiot who got beat by a TV and a professional jobber who is only one step above having a jobber alarm as the opening stinger of his theme song.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I get what they were going for, that Ambrose doing crazier and crazier poo poo was biting him as much as Bray (and for once the announcers were putting this over too). But they could have gotten to where they were going with that if Ambrose just missed the absurdly giant elbow drop.

Well, doing dumb things in an effort to hurt his opponent is sort of his thing. There were no belts on the line in this feud, it's purpose was to get both guys over as crazy people who will do crazy things and it did that.

He hasn't been that good in a while. Have you seen him throw a punch lately? Do a sleeper? He's either working with multiple injuries, is being exposed as an average worker when he's not against outstanding talent, or heaping amounts of both.

This is a good point. Bringing a loving tv monitor into it was absurd. If the monitor comes back and haunts Dean though, I'm all in for this storyline honestly.

The WWE doesn't even deserve 9.99 a month. 120 dollars a year is far to much to pay for a product that just makes me mad.

He can pull a great match out of literally anybody and has the natural charisma to enthrall the majority of the people who watch but OH his sleeper could be a little more snug and his punches could look better

Next month he'll have a match with Wyatt where he does the same thing except he unplugs it first, causing a distraction and a roll up. Ambrose loses again and it's the "worst Rumble ever."

This week he had one of the worst Raw main events in years, against a guy he's worked dozens and dozens of times with, and it had nothing to do with the lovely finish
