Are obviously fixed. How can DB trend, and not win?
You can also add my reaction to the poll to the "eff this company thread".
Bryan was trending world wide, not just in America.
There is no possible way Kane won. They planned it ahead of time, on who they thought would win. That map thing would have had to be done by a designer and ready for production in literally minutes, if it was not planned. Not to mention that segment would have had to be added on the fly, if the pole were real.
That is ALL a moot point, because Bryan's hashtag trended world wide, and Kanes did not. That means Bryan had 10's of thousands of more tweets in his favour.
Twitter only counts mentions (hash tags, single words, and phrases) not individual tweets. There is not method to count individual tweets. Even if Kane won with individual tweets (which is not a thing), it is mathematically impossible for him to win with 59%.
What is even worse, that WWE acknowledged Bryan trending at one point.

Who knows? It's entirely possible that Kane actually won but I can totally see them rigging the poll just for that "RED WINS!" line. Either way, we got a damn good Mysterio/DB match out of it, so I'm happy.

Yeah, I think this one was really fishy. Maybe I'm off on my twitter knowledge, but obviously more people were talking about that then Kane's twitter thing.

It was obviously faked unless you want to believe that skit was live right before the Rey/Bryan match. One take? With props? Highly unlikely.

I think WWE goes by total number of mentions while to trend it's the number of people who mention you.
So basically if Twitter consisted of these three tweets:
@fan1: #WWEBryan
@fan2: #WWEBryan
@fan3: #WWEKane #WWEKane #WWEKane
Then Bryan would trend but Kane would win the vote.

Trending doesn't work exactly as they try to portray. It's more how a comparison of activity for something that differentiates greatly from the average amount of times it was mentioned before. Something like WWEBryan is really generic compared to WWEKane where you'd have very little mentions prior to this week's raw for WWEBryan than something like WWEKane. Also, WWEKane was trending worldwide for a while as well where they didn't mention.

How many people are saying WWEKane prior to this night? #WWEBryan was trending for over an hour, meaning it was continuous the entire time. |

Look it boils down to this. If you think that was a live single take, it's possible that was a legit vote. If you think it wasn't, there's no way in the world it can be. That they had a whole skit written around a result they were uncertain of.... kinda unlikely.

Ot they taped two (one for Bryan and one for Kane) earlier in the day and aired the one that fit for the vote they got. |

But I still think from the humor they went for there, the result was a foregone conclusion and they had scripted out the "interactive" portion of the show. |

The entire segment was for Vince to make a joke about republicans winning (when they lost bad)

I think we can all agree that the vote was rigged, and the reason was two-fold: not only did it allow Vince an avenue for a stupid political joke, but it was also an avenue for Shield to interfere in the main event, because injustice.

Kane did not trend, and Bryan was #1 at one point. That is a BIG difference.
The WWE must have really thought that Kane would have won. They are delusional when it comes to who they think is over. IE Sheamus during Wrestlemania. They though that an 20 second match would get Sheamus mega over, instead it got him the biggest heat for weeks.

The poll is only fixed if the guy YOU wanted to win didn't win.
I voted repeatedly and he won the poll. Don't see the dilemma here. If you wanted your guy to win, you vote more frequently. Who's "trending" doesn't mean anything.

I know someone else in the Raw thread mentioned they had the same problem so I wasn't the only one, but when I clicked on the "Vote #WWEBryan" button on WWE.com it would lead to an error page. I had to go to Twitter and actually enter it in. Usually when you click the button on those polls it will compose a Tweet for you so you can vote, but the Bryan one wasn't working. I don't know if that was on purpose to rig the vote or not.

There is physical overwhelming proof that Bryan won. If Kane were to have won, his hashtag would have not only have had to trended, but it would have have to trended for about 10 minutes. It did not even trend at all. Daniel Bryan losing gave us a much better match, but you can't see how them using fake polls upsets their audience? |

Yeah, this isn't the first time this happened. Remember when #AJAll trended the whole night, and then #AJPunk somehow won with a majority of the vote?
And don't get me started on how ridiculous it was to have the Universe decide between a Falls Count Anywhere match, a Street Fight, and a No Holds Barred match.

If they don't rig the polls.....
We'd have another Mason Ryan situation
