  1. Acknowledged it with a "NERDS!" and quiet confidence that Cleveland would be well behaved the next night, lol.

  2. That's what I think will happen.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Just as I thought. This is like 2012 all over again.
    However, it's WWE's fault for putting themselves in a corner.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Also, if true, those stories REALLY make the JRs and Lance Storms and Jimmy Korderases look brilliant with the "just keep waiting, it's not over yet!" stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  5. How fitting that Flair chide the crowd last night for daring not be on the side of Christista.

    ReplyDelete
  6. The weather is so cold, WWE will have a empty arena. They could just pipe in the sounds they want.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I think that the machine has realized that they can keep cockteasing the fans for eternity.

    It's time for fans to go full Malcolm X. Violence is the only answer. A riot will accomplish what a million YES! chants cannot.

    How bad do you want it, WWE Universe?

    ReplyDelete
  8. They can't wrestle if they can't walk

    ReplyDelete
  9. Oh dear god. They're seriously going to just bury their heads in the sand on this? SERIOUSLY?


    Okay folks, get ready. I'm calling it now: garbage will litter the ring very shortly.

    ReplyDelete
  10. JEEEZUS,they can't be that stupid,fuck Batista,gives us our generation's champion:Daniel Bryan

    ReplyDelete
  11. I bet Vince made D-Bry a mix tape with this on it

    ReplyDelete
  12. I think I'll stick in NJPW only for a while.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Cleveland is an obedient city, they won't do anything. WrestleMania on the other hand....

    ReplyDelete
  14. Let's just let it play out and see where it goes.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I hope you are joking, otherwise, even tire slashing marks from 80's Southern territories would think that you take wrestling too seriously.

    ReplyDelete
  16. We need a raw in Philly or Chicago right away!

    ReplyDelete
  17. We'll be the cooler headed fans watching the not so cool ones wreck stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  18. it goes for the bottom of the pit.

    ReplyDelete
  19. First, is RAW at a smark heavy city tonight? Could we get another rabid crowd tonight? Also how long, if ever, does it take for the fans to just stop caring about D Bry or at least just chant for him in his own matches and forget about chanting during other segments?

    ReplyDelete
  20. The worst type of embarrassment.

    ReplyDelete
  21. See you in two hours!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Nope,Cleveland is calm.We need Philly or Chicago.

    ReplyDelete
  23. It's Cleveland so no, the cold weather we're having could push people away. Things will be "back to normal" sadly.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Rikidozan was stabbed to death by a fan. Bobby Heenan was shot at during a match. Ric Flair lost the NWA World Title in the Dominican Republic because of a riot.

    Wrestling fans USED to take wrestling VERY seriously. And they got results.

    ReplyDelete
  25. WHAT Rikidozan stabbed?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yeah, but I'm not going. Just watching on TV.

    ReplyDelete
  27. That stinks, but who knows maybe some that watched the Rumble will pick it up from there and get the rest of the crowd fired up.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I hope they prove me wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  29. We're pretty bad to be honest. Which is surprising considering 90% of the city blindly supports a football team with no hope.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh come on, man. Go! Be the first to toss garbage at Batista!

    ReplyDelete
  31. And a Baseball team, and a Basketball team.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Last night there were a bunch of other Clevelanders so maybe they'll be taking it to Raw tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I feel we could rewrite "The Taking of Triple H" and just replace Chris Benoit with Daniel Bryan and it would work.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Scream "Steroids"

    ReplyDelete
  35. The Cavs and Indians have a better chance of being successful than the Browns do.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hey, Tribe won 92! Next year will probably revert back to 80

    ReplyDelete
  37. On December 8, 1963, while partying in a Tokyo nightclub, Rikidōzan was stabbed with a urine-soaked blade by a man named Katsuji Murata who belonged to the ninkyō dantai (Yakuza) Sumiyoshi-ikka. Reportedly, Rikidōzan threw Murata out of the club and continued to party, refusing to seek medical help. [3] Another report states that Rikidōzan did indeed see his physician shortly after the incident, and was told the wound was not serious. He died a week later of peritonitis on December 15. It is rumored by Kimura that his murder was in retaliation for when Rikidozan attacked Kimura during a wrestling match, after Kimura delivered an errant kick to Rikidozan's groin, ignoring a pre-match arrangement and attacking Kimura for real. [

    ReplyDelete
  38. So it was the piss that killed him essentially?


    He might of survived had it not been soaked in urine.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I wish the Browns would move again.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Pittsburgh isn't exactly a smark-haven. The Bryan thing has at least partially transcended the "Internet nerds only!" thing, even if the Internet would have you believe otherwise.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Well that was graphic, let's talk about Brody.

    ReplyDelete
  42. And yes, that Rumble could have been booked so much better. Why not bring Patterson back for one weekend to book the Rumble match?

    ReplyDelete
  43. And a Price is Right host.

    ReplyDelete
  44. The only reason that the crowd was that way was because it was a Big 4 PPV.


    Any other PPV, they probably wouldn't of given a shit.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Maybe we could start a #CutForDanielBryan campaign, until he wins the world title!!

    http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/cuttingforbieber

    ReplyDelete
  46. Sooo...only smarks spend money to attend the second biggest event of the year? Seems unlikely.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Maybe everyone is pissed off with the weather and ready to cut loose.

    ReplyDelete
  48. 4chan really is filled with the worst kind of people.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Funny thing,a friend of mine watched the rumble and thought it was excellent,he hates Bryan and was happy about big dave winning.

    ReplyDelete
  50. First class psychos

    ReplyDelete
  51. Someone is watching too much ECW.

    ReplyDelete
  52. What caused this to happen, Bryan's joining then leaving the Wyatt's, or them announcing Bastia's return before the Rumble. I don't think the world would be that mad if WWE did that.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I was obviously kidding, but yep, I sometimes worry about how seriously some here are taking this. Makes me wonder how far they'll go. Let's all remember that it's just a Wrestling show, people!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Usually I exercise to take my mind off of things that have been annoying me. But this is a DDP Yoga week, which doesn't help when the annoyance is wrestling.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I thought they hated Batista in Brazil.

    ReplyDelete
  56. At least DDP is a positive thing. And completely unaffiliated with what's going on in WWE.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Oh yeah, I obviously knew you were kidding but I'll see things on reddit mention something 4chan has done or is doing and it's always something that makes me cringe. I think I went to the site years ago and never went back.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I think it was a combination of factors. Not all them were about Daniel Bryan. It also had to do with being forced to see ANOTHER Cena/Orton match. And then Batista embarrassed himself out there last night when he was sloppy with almost everything he did, and then was gassed far too early.

    ReplyDelete
  59. He loves the guy and Ryback too,he's got the Vince fetish.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Vince likes guys who like what he likes.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Well maybe you, Scott and Jesse Baker can go kidnap HHH. I would keep an eye on Baker though, he'll probably rape Hunter with his massive dick.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Lacing the weapon was a common tactic. In his book, Bobby Heenan talks about a wrestler that got stabbed in the leg with a knife that was soaked in pig fat. The resulting infection was a far bigger problem than the stab wound.

    ReplyDelete
  63. THE TAKING OF HHH, REAL LIFE VERSION!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  64. Fuck getting out of that garage.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Bookers have ALWAYS ignored the will of the fans. Your forefathers were just a bit more forceful in taking what they wanted.

    ReplyDelete
  66. If they wanted to play off last night, I believe the move to make would be to have HHH find a reason to move the title match up and Do Batista vs. Randy Orton at EC while the Chamber match itself is done to determine the Wrestlemania challenger. HHH turns on Orton to make Batista the new Authority endorsed champ and Bryan wins EC. Given the audience response last night, the heat would be off the charts in a Batista vs. Bryan match for the World tilte. Orton can be the Wyatt's next victim, leading to an unlikely alliance handicap match: Cena and Orton vs. The Wyatts, or they could do Cena vs. Orton vs. Bray triple threat.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Are you fucking nuts? No Penis Provided might be more your speed.

    ReplyDelete
  68. That site sure gets under some people's skins, eh?? I swear that there's more free advertising of it here than anywhere else on the net.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Safe bet no one is cutting themselves. I don't give a fuck about No Penis Provided. Scotsman paid for this site, the whole thing is a work.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I just made a joke, and you seem incredibly upset about it. I'll just... quietly walk away now...

    ReplyDelete
  71. I found the NPP stuff amusing for a few days but then got bored wit it. They talk about us, eh, I don't care.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I'm not upset bro, I actually used to like some of Scotsmans stuff, I' was a huge Wrestleline fan.

    ReplyDelete
  73. The original was bad enough

    ReplyDelete
  74. You guys have the Miz!

    ReplyDelete
  75. I'll drop it right after this, but I just find it funny how I see the site mentioned here several times a day. Like it's totally eating people alive that another site is making fun of them. I believe you when you say it doesn't bother you, but others... It's pretty amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I'd say that Jesse Baker is Anakin (he's the one who anally raped HHH), Zanatude is Y2J, and Scooter is... well...

    ReplyDelete
  77. I'm the most excited for Raw as I have been in months...for all the wrong reasons

    ReplyDelete
  78. I know we're all very annoyed right now, but maybe the best thing to do is just live well. Focus on cultivating a satisfying existence in which you realize that the events which take place on a professional wrestling program ultimately have no bearing in the greater scheme of your existence. Be charitable and loving towards those around you; feed your intellect; nurture your spirit. In doing these things you will find yourself insulated from the foolhardy choices made by an arrogant "entertainment" promoter. This is what I plan to do, at least.

    Ah, who am I kidding. I'll probably kick a whole in my TV set and unleash a torrent of profanity laced Tweets after Raw tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Ask Mick Foley if you can borrow his brick.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Had Batista been a surprise he'd have been the second most over guy on the show. Announcing him ahead of time (or letting it leak, whatever) was a massive misstep and has destroyed any chance of him working as a face right now.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Naah, the boom period is over, so when you have a big name returning, you advertise the hell out of it. The days of "We must watch every show just in case something big happens" are over a decade gone.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Respectfully disagree. I think had they kept Batista a surprise, they'd have popped last week's rating tonight (as he was only onscreen for seven or eight minutes in the Rumble and didn't promo or interact with anyone important), and still had a pretty good rating last week on the strength of the Bryan/Wyatt segment the week before.

    ReplyDelete
  83. He was probably too busy having a foursome with Nidia, Billy gunn and Torrie Wilson.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Everything he suggested probably made too much sense.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I support said football team and am from St. Louis. Sometimes it's just hopeless. At least I'm from a good wrestling city, and with people here obsessed with baseball I can enjoy rasslin' with little blowback.

    ReplyDelete
  86. They're the ones voicing their opinions.

    *ACK* BATISTA!

    ReplyDelete
  88. Was his username pik?

    ReplyDelete
  89. My idea on how to fix the Bryan/Batista thing: Tonight on Raw, have HHH cut a promo acknowledging the controversy. He says Bryan was scheduled for the Rumble but at the last second a better wrestler was cleared and took his spot, and he introduced Sheamus.


    Fast forward to 30, Bryan beats Sheamus in 18 seconds. Fans love it but are kinda bummed they don't get more of Bryan. Orton/Batista closes. Fans shit all over like Cena/Orton last night. End of the match. Bryan runs in and lays out both guys with knees and steals the titles. Thunderous YES! chant. In the chaos, Batista wins.


    Next night on Raw, Batista vs Bryan in a ladder match for the titles at Extreme Rules is set up. Bryan goes over. Give him until Summerslam to prove himself, if he doesn't, you can take the title off him.

    ReplyDelete
  90. He's *got* one job - fall guy for the decision Size Queen Vince made.

    ReplyDelete
  91. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJMa20xXykI

    ReplyDelete
  92. True - if we eat less sugar and get more cardiovascular exercise, we'll be able to boo Vince longer and louder!

    ReplyDelete
  93. Tonight the WWE will officially change his name to Dumbiel Brainless and he's going to have to start wrestling with his hair spiked into a red Mohawk.

    ReplyDelete
  94. "Vince and HHH both acknowledged the noise backstage. However, there are no current plans to change their WrestleMania plans as a result."


    Man, if these guys were running the company back in 1997, Austin wouldn't have won the Rumble in 1998 and somehow Triple H would have.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Look at the reaction he got after turning on Bray. That wasn't smarks.

    ReplyDelete
  96. I know people like that. Doesn't matter how terrible someone is in the ring, if they are big and look tough, they cheer for them to win. Luckily that type of fan wasn't the majority at the Rumble.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Actually, Jesse is Anakin, Y2Q is Caliber and who would Scooter be now? I'm being serious, who would fill the role of the leader and not Scott Keith as he seems to have moved on and lives a pretty good life.

    ReplyDelete
  98. So the "casuals" buy tickets to the event but then don't cheer?

    'Vince and HHH both acknowledged the noise backstage.'


    i.e., "dont they know that they're not behaving the way they're supposed to be behaving? they're all grounded!"

    ReplyDelete
  100. You guys all suck. I'm selling for jobber but her my buy. Booger sugar. ..scheck....

    ReplyDelete
  101. The idea that there's no room for surprises anymore is absurd. Might as well argue that the WWE should publish the results of Raw before the show goes live.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Man they sure do hire random people for prominent positions. Does Kidman still have Briscoe's old job? I'm not speaking on their job performance, just the fact that you wouldn't think those guys would be in charge of important stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  103. I dunno. No telling who has the mind for the biz just based on their matches

    ReplyDelete
  104. Like you wouldn't want in on that.

    ReplyDelete
  105. BREAKING NEWS: Major match that determines direction of the company booked on a napkin two hours before airtime. Also, sky blue and bears shit in woods. More at 11.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Just as long as it's not more at 411
