Apparently Reigns' promo was bad, but how did Bryan come off on the mic?

Fine. Screamed about how he WAS going to win the Royal Rumble. Whoever is scripting him seems to get his character because it never feels out of place. That's about all I ask for.

They only care about the Rumble match and the title match.

At least last year, there was Bryan/Bray too.

Based on the Raw fallout youtube vids, are they teasing a Barrett face turn against the Authority or is this just Wade filling in some color to the immensely boring "Guy won a non title match so gets a title shot" storyline?

I doubt anyone is instructed on what to say in those Fallout videos.

To be fair, Bray and Ryback had complete character overhauls after Nexus, and to an extent Barrett as well.

and does Bryan count after only being in it for literally one day?

So despite the monstrous football game, Raw INCREASED viewership this week over last week.

8PM: 4.10 Million
9PM: 3.90 Million
10PM: 3.72 Million

Average: 3.90 Million

What's interesting is that the third hour may have been the lowest in total viewers, but had the same 18-49 rating as the first hour.

So I'm going to my first ever WWE event next Monday in Dallas, is there anything I should know before going?

Not much, just realize that everything is literally live so there is a ton of down time between commercial breaks, backstage segments, promo videos, etc.

WWE Smackdown's Thursday debut did 2.675 million viewers. Not a huge number, but above what they typically did on Friday. Now the question is if they can grow the audience since there were probably some who forgot about the time slot change.

Luigi Thirty posted:

Smackdown viewership went up 10% from 2.432 to 2.675 million on its new night. I wonder what could have been the draw.

All those people tuned in to see if John Cena would show up, obviously.

What will be interesting to see is if it goes up again next week, because I imagine there were at least a few who forgot it had moved this week.

- Robbie Brookside vs. Daniel Bryan — EWP Intercontinental Championship Match (EWP Gilde Wrestling Festival 2003 — Tag 3)

The last one has the best story:

quote:

“A match that nobody will ever be able to see but was one of my favorite matches I’ve ever done was against Robbie Brookside, who’s a trainer now down in NXT, in 2003 in Germany. In Germany they had these tournaments that would go on for weeks. And Robbie had talked to the promoter — he was the champion at the time — he said, ‘I’d like to bring Bryan in for just one match, just a title match.’ And the guy went, ‘I don’t know. He’s small.’ And Robbie said, ‘No, he’sreally, reallygood.’

They do rounds systems [in Germany], so we went out there and I want to say it was a match that was 10 rounds [Editor’s Note: Close. Brookside retained in Round 9]. And after the match the promoter went up to Robbie and said, ‘You were right, this guy was great.’ It was just one of those things where Robbie Brookside helped train me, he helped me be the wrestler that I am today. It’s also one of those moments where people don’t think you can do it, and then you come in and the promoter is like, ‘Holy cow, he is what you said he was.’ And that was really cool.”

I know he doesn't use his arm a lot anyway in his offense but Bryan wrestled at tonight's show in San Antonio just fine, it appears: http://websta.me/p/900983428338784057_182237404

And yeah, the crossbody in that video looks to be replacing the previous missile dropkick.

Knee Plus is such an impossibly inferior name for that move than "The Knee That Beat John Cena" that it makes perfect sense that WWE would continue to run with it.

Even when the better name actively references John Cena.

Well at Wrestlemania it was renamed the "Knee that beat Triple H"

The name was retired afterward.
