There’s no reason to even have hope that things will improve as long as Vince has the final sign off on everything that goes on camera. I don’t know which writer pitched a DQ finish in a Hell in a Cell to him but that he decided to green light it shows how useless he’s become as a quality control guy.

Oh shit, I forgot about 2015.

Man, Vince is in that building hearing that.

I saw. Good job! Sorry they pushed you that far.

I would be ashamed to have pitched it. I don’t think anyone would have. This is a top decision, and people would have been fighting it right up until the end.

The reddit threads right now are glorious boys.

Can't believe I am saying this but I am done with the Network. Won't spend a dime until Survivor Series...dunno.

lol I was going to make some snide comment about you gloating over this Noid….but you know what? You deserve this moment. Gloat away sir.

If WWE retroactively went back and enforced DQ on Hell in the Cell matches, do any of them avoid the DQ finish?

the only thing I would have done different was, after the ref calls the dq and the cage goes up and the paramedics come in, cut the lights and have the fiend disappear

I'm not paying anymore. Done. If they put on a show I want to see, I'll bootleg it. They can get paid by Fox and Saudi. Not me.

WWE logic

Tornado Tag Team Match - No disqualifications

Submission Match - No disqualifications or rope break

Hell in a Cell Match - Disqualifications applicable

:lol:

This has brought everyone together like an atrocity.

I only laugh so I do not cry.

Wyatt really shouldn't have been facing Rollins for the title this early, yeah

I cancelled my Network subscription immediately after MITB went off the air and it officially ended the day before the last Saudi blood money show. They’ve done nothing since then to make me want to re-subscribe.

Maybe I’ll go back for the Rumble just because I’m a mark for Rumble matches. MAYBE. And even then they might need to throw in a handjob from Toni Storm.

I know it doesn't affect their business if a small group of users refuse to pay for the Network but I need to do this out of principle.

Vince will be losing it backstage. The only reason Heyman wouldn’t have fought him over this is because he doesn’t care. There is no one other than Vince McMahon that would have thought this was a good idea.

"Unreal" how bad that PPV was all around...

Had more problems with the rest of the show which was total shit than the main event, which was at least interesting/different despite the horrible finish...

What time does AEW come on guys?

Welp, looks like I'm only watching NXT for a bit. That show was not very good and that ending was trash.

I know people are pissed, but you are doing the right thing putting it into practice. I want to hear about mass cancellations as a news story from Meltzer.

Well, is Heyman responsible for the cuck story lines?

When's AEW coming on guys?

FFS, Bray shouldn't have been in the title picture yet. But even so, they should have just pulled the trigger at the end and had him win it. It doesn't give you an unbeatable champ because they could always have him lose the title as regular Bray for whatever made up reason if they so chose. UHHHG

Vince honestly just missed a huge shot. When the crowd started chanting to restart the match Vince should have marched out there and done just that with something along the lines of "You cant DQ him for that jack ass, get me a new ref and ring the damn bell!"

Dynamite on Wednesday, DVR’ed NXT on Thursday. NJPW shows whenever they’re on.

That’s more than enough to satisfy my wrestling fix for now. Fuck Vince.

Make it a falls count anywhere match at that point too since the cage is already lifted and the action was moved to the outside.

BUT NO VINCE HAD TO BE A FUCKING SQUARE

If I'm FOX, I would be scratching Rollins name off of potential top talent for Smackdown at the Draft since the last thing they need is any of this Hell in a Cell stink carrying over to their show. Same for demanding WWE break their couples rule in order to get just Becky for the brand.

If I'm USA Network, probably a bit livid at the disaster of what happened since they paid more for RAW than FOX did for Smackdown and are getting treated like shit a week into the new deals.

Shit Ill jerk it in defiance on Friday too.

Myself. Not you. Whatever you get the idea.

Like they ruined it. They had something special with Bray and they ruined it. People should be pissed. People should be hurtling insults and cancelling subscriptions. Wwe SHOULD be ashamed. Vince should be ashamed. Whoever made the call to have this as the finish should be fired.

So everything the internet didn't want to happen did?

Sounds like a show worth checking out Ha! Ha!

ROH Monday, NWA Power & Impact on Tuesday, AEW Wednesday, and NJPW. I may actually boycott WWE for a year and see how my life goes.

I wanted you here sweet cheeks. And you came. How are you?

Are you the left, right, or neither chick in your pic?

Back off man :mad:

:rofl:

Holy shit! I'm so glad I didn't know this PPV was even taking place and didn't waste my time on this garbage. This is hilariously awful. This is just more proof on top of the already existing mountain of evidence, that Vince, and everyone in Vince's "yes man" inner circle who are too chicken shit and/or stupid themselves to tell him what an absolute out of touch dumb fuck he is creatively today, don't deserve even 1% of the rewards (financial, credit, etc.) they've received over the last decade plus for continuing to say "yes sir" and give him his daily blow job.

And this was BEFORE the show. He apparently went on a completely nuclear rant after the show that I hope ends up on YouTube.

For those who have cancelled the WWE Network, here are some great alternatives for you to spend your money on that are sure to deliver:

November 3rd - UFC 244 Masvidal vs Diaz
November 23rd - Wilder vs Ortiz II
December 15th - UFC 245 Holloway vs Volkanovski

Holy shit...

Fellas, if you can’t decide on a winner...

DON’T BOOK THE FUCKING MATCH

In their horrible attempt to “protect” both guys, they somehow managed to hurt both Seth and the Fiend.

Just read the results and came here to say “lolwhat”.

lolwhat

It’s just amazing to me that this show is scripted. Real life sports with unpredictable levels of competition have better drama and more emotional storytelling. What in the motherfuck did I just watch?

The Fiend had ONE MATCH in his gimmick and that was all it took for them to decide to book him straight into the title picture. And not once did they consider that one of them would be expected to lose.

That's what happens when you have a company that doesn't book with any sort of long or even medium-term planning.

If there was ever a time for WWE fans to pull a page from WCW's book, tonight's ending would have been one of those moments.

WCW fans were notorious for not being afraid to pelt the ring with trash for stuff they hated due to it being legit terrible or heels being that effective in generating heat. Only happened occasionally in WWE during that era but the practice pretty much stopped after Droz got seriously injured and WWE clamped down hard on it.

That's not Seth Rollins, but 100% would've been in favor for the ring being pelted with garbage after that show.

That's from UFC Mexico a few weeks ago.

Yeah its not Seth. The joke made me remember how WCW fans would have treated this had it happen back in the day.

How the fuck does that main event happen? Of all the things you could have done with that match, you decide on 1) shitty lighting, 2) the absolutely most insane overuse of finishers, 3) end a HIAC on a fucking DQ, and 4) somehow fuck up The Fiend in his 2nd god damn match while trying and failing to book him to look like a horror movie god.

Just absolutely awe-inspiringly shitty.

PS, I’m fucking tired of seeing Charlotte Flair.

Apparently WWE's "official ruling" is that the match ended "due to a match-stoppage ruling that led to Rollins retaining the title" and not a DQ

How did anybody think this was a good plan?

Yeah, like that will make all the fans to "oh, I guess it's ok then".

Not to mention Wyatt was literally fully recovered 2 minutes after the stoppage, cause Vince???

Fightful on the finish to tonight's event and how backstage reacted to it.

48 hours. 48 hours in and Jussie is no longer on the hook for the biggest fuck up by someone under contract to Fox.

Makes sense if they have a rematch with a Special Guest Referee tomorrow on Raw after The Fiend snaps and takes out every referee slowly throughout the evening to add to his wall.....

There are not enough words in the English language to describe how shit this show was. I cancelled my network sub right after. Also glad that WWE is moving to a channel I do not get in the UK now as well. There is no way I am going to miss the product.

Really enjoyed Sasha/Becky. Want to see Sasha Banks vs. Io Shirai. Hopefully soon.

They easily could have done way better. After Seth hits the Fiend with the sledgehammer, you could have had Seth go for the cover. Fiend kicks out at one. Fiend then does everything he did after the bell rang but then the lights go out and he’s gone, leaving Seth bleeding in the ring but the Fiend is gone

This was probably the lesser of evils considering there should have been no way Bray won the belt BUT he also couldnt really afford to lose the match either. They got enamored with the concept of locking Seth in the HIAC with Bray as the fiend but didnt think it through completely.

Potential concern: if/when FOX eventually pushes Vince over bad ratings, he'll just resort to the same shit he did with USA. "OK, how about I bring back some legends!" "What about a Wild Card rule?"

It's just gonna keep being the same Band-Aid shit.

So wwe last night pretty much made the case that the fiend was unbeatable having taken over a dozen finishers, chair shots etc. Wonder if they'll remember that in a few months time, kinda doubting it.

Wouldn't surprise me, and this is the same hypocritical old fart that goes on about "sending the fans home happy" when he wants to sell an angle to someone.

Oh, I had no doubt that Vince was thinking “Listen to that reaction! Job well done!”.

It’s about principle. Even if we don’t make much of an impact, we shouldn’t support a horrible product with our finances. Especially not when there are so many better alternatives in the market. While I have some interest in RAW today, I might skip it.

You MIGHT skip it.

That’ll show ‘em.

I don’t even think The CyNick could’ve justified that finish.

Vince: "Sophistication = treating our viewers like they're stupid."

He’d justify it the same way. “Any reaction is a good reaction. Kudos to WWE for forcing this much passion.”

Did someone show Vince Virtual Boy?

Well, I can’t deny my intrigue.

I had to renew yesterday. My subscription was supposed to run out today but somehow it got cut off without me canceillng it (yes, I'm sure) back in late September. So now, I'm ironically stuck in WWE Network hell until early February.

He should've taken a Bo Dallas victory lap.
