I know, I thought the main event was gonna be BEAST but in the end, left me disappointed. Kind of cheesy how Kane was gonna pull Ryder down the hole, they would've had to wait until everyone left the arena to crawl out from under there, well Kane had to wait alone lol. Back to Rhodes vs Bryan though, they are both champions so yes, it should've been WAY better but the WWE has been having some disappointing matches as of late so I hope they pick up the pace and make the matches much more interesting like Ziggler vs Punk.

I doubt it'd skyrocket.

I wonder what the ratings were for RAW when Jericho came out..

It probably raised the ratings by a little since many people were disappointed that he didn't speak.

Punk v Ziggler is match of the year so far :p

You've watched other matches this year, right?

I was disappointed in Jericho's return, he came back and got a huge reaction but after a while... I wanted him to speak on his return but he didn't! He just walked around apprasing the fans and getting a reaction, then he left. Boring! I hope to see him actually talk next week.

Clearly was designed too. Shocked nobody has pointed out how close this resembles his 'Lionheart' stuff in WCW. Clearly this is his last go around, I guess he wanted to come full circle.....but who'se gonna be Ralphus?!

Agreed Andrew, he does over-react when he wins. Bryan as a Heel would be a great move by the WWE since he hasn't gotten that big of a reaction as a Face, as a Face he became World Heavyweight champ and still didn't get that big of a reaction but if he was World Heavyweight champ as a Heel..... ratings would sky-rocket... in my opinion. I'm a fan of Daniel Bryan and if he turns Heel, I'll be an even bigger fan. I'm a fan of both Rhodes and Bryan but I have to agree with Andrew again, it wasn't that great. They both have great move lists so they could've had a much better match then they had.

now i've seen ANDREWISM, but this WOW. my head hurts its like brain freeze and with mind blowing at the end idk what to call this.

How about for just once you actually put some substance behind your posts. How about you tell us why they would sky rocket with a heel bryan as champ?

He doesn't get that much of a reaction as a Face, so a Heel turn would be great for him. I can see him being a great heel and having some great feuds as a Heel, plus more reactions = more ratings. I should have put boost the ratings not sky rocket.

Maybe slightly, but first Sheamus needs a push.

Put the belt on him and watch the ratings. He's so over as a face.

He won't be a great anything, because he just isn't good enough.

Cutting shoot promos in a school gym in front of 20 people is all well and good in ROH, but now hes moved the the big leagues hes been found out. Hes floundering.

He isnt interesting enough to draw fans in, hence why Raw's ratings have died a slow death the past few weeks with him on the show. As for a heel turn? Hes hardly convincing as a face, nobody will buy him as a threat if hes heel. He looks like an English teacher.

:lol: That is the silliest logic I've ever seen.

And maybe it's just me but I couldn't give a less of a fuck about ratings and fully care about the show quality. Unless it puts money in your pocket or something don't see why people care about the ratings to the extent that some people on the internet care about them.
