Card is absymal. If this was before the Network, I'm sure this PPV would receive one of the worst buyrates WWE have had. There are only two draws (Evolution/Shield & Cena/Wyatt) and they are both rematches, with little on the line at Payback. The Chicago crowd is going to bury it after that brilliant RAW they had a couple of months ago. Vince deserves the bad Network buys and poor TV deal, judging by the current product.

That WWE magazine Shield thing is fake btw.

Yeah, it comes out mid-May... I've had the digital copy a little over a week.
I'll go peep it right now, I live 1 minute away from Barnes and Noble and 4 minutes from another bookstore.
Be back in a few and I'll let you guys know..
You don't think the Q&A is from an early viewing copy of the July issue though do ya? Sometimes they give them out early so they can get the WWE's thoughts or whatever on a final print.

Okay so I just speedread through it, but definitely made sure I got every page's topics read and I definitely saw Chris Jericho being advertised as a potential MITB participant although it wasn't like as obvious as people make it out basically it's a list of people who are "due for a win at MITB due to appearances and no wins) ; him along with Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston and Christian each have like 4 - 6 appearances with no case I believe.

As for the Ambrose Q&A, I didn't see it nor was there any page resembling the layout of that picture for it to be photoshopped, not saying it wasn't just saying idk why you would photoshop a page that's not even remotely close to a page in the actual magazine but that's not the point. So honestly it being this close to Mid June and them already knowing how Payback will turn out results wise I personally believe it's either A) An Article in the July issue that got leaked from someone who gets an early viewing, or B) an article that was written 2-3 months ago when they were supposed to split up before the company decided they had a few more things they could be used for and that page was scrapped however someone had a picture of a draft and decided to leak it to cause controversy. Although I wouldn't rule Photoshopping out entirely, as that is very well always an option with pictures posted on the web.

Vince will decide on what's happening at Payback about a couple of hours before the show lol. Obviously PS'd.

Haha it very well could be photoshopped, I just don't know why you would create your own layout though instead of using one of the pages that are actually in the magazine, usually when photoshopping you take a real article and you edit out things to manipulate the look of it but that person if they did photoshop it and it wasn't an early draft of 2-3 months ago or an early viewing of July's that got leaked then that person is pretty silly.

We'll see on Sunday I suppose haha.

So... there are rumors of Bryan defending his title against Kane in a Buried Alive match at MITB.... so what does that mean for Sunday? If the rumors are true then Bryan won't give up his title.... does that mean Brie is taking some time off? Perhaps she's pregnant and this is the way of writing her out of everything... or perhaps Brie wrestles Steph for her job and beats her... I would actually love to see that lol.

What do you guys think?

Crazy I was just reading the article myself.

Would make sense if Brie was pregnant, although wrestling Steph would be pretty kewl. Straight Divas version of Cody and Goldy wrestling for their jobs back.
