It has been confirmed many times it wasn't. I mean everyone from Punk to Vince to Batista to Hunter and on have confirmed that. If Bryan was in fact just plan B, then why was he plan B to begin with? Because he was over. If they pushed a Batista/Orton ME at 30, it would have made Reigns/Lesnar look like the build to Hogan/Warrior. We all know Batista came back because of a Rumble win and title reign. Vince thought he had a new Rock he could trot out for ratings and buys. When we shit all over it, they changed course. Launching the network is a pretty bad time to have 90% of your fanbase pissed off at the product. So forgive me if Vince and Hunter say differently publicly, but they realized what was going on and switched gears. Punk leaving exacerbated it, but it still would have happened.

No, he got that spot because Punk told them to sit, spin and go f*** themselves with an un-lubed rose bush. Punk doesn't leave, Bryan is losing to Sheamus in the opener. Not denying that most of that is true, because it's been backed up by many people, but I've never seen Bryan losing to Sheamus being mentioned anywhere but here. I thought it was just them having the match. That is just me I'll admit. I've heard they were going to get 5th billing and open with it leading to a Sheamus heel run but I really don't know about the winner. Just going off Sheamus owning Bryan and Vince really not liking him.

I don't understand how people can have a problem with "We Are Awesome" but don't seem to have a problem with chants like "You suck (male wrestler)" at the Divas or "Please retire!" at the Big Show.

Oh come on Big Show and Kane have MORE than earned please retire chants. No way in hell can that be equated with the sexist chants.

I didn't hear the sexist chants but those are the worst of the night.

Maybe some of us do? Actually, I don't mind the "Please retire" because it plays in great with the show but the stuff toward the Divas is pond scum low.

I'm saying both are disrespectful, yet people would rather focus on "the fans putting themselves over". And how have they "earned" please retire chants? Because they are both booked terribly?

The "We are awesome" chant was dumb as a sack of donkey dongs...
However, the chants The Bellas got were worse. Overall, I love the rowdy atmosphere of post-Mania Raws, even though they can cross the line now and then. I rather have a crowd who reacts to everything whether negatively or positively than a crowd who looks like they'd rather be anywhere else.

I live in arguably the harshest city on its athletes, Philadelphia. Ive heard far worse yelled at athletes, from fans within earshot of said athletes. It doesnt faze them, doesnt make them play with any less heart or determination. At the end of their day, they do their job, cash the check, and wake up the next day anew. Anyone that thinks Nikki Bella or Roman Reigns is in their hotel crying their eyes out or sick to the stomach that fans yelled things at them is a f***ing mark.

Because they're heels? By that logic it plays no more into the show than yelling about the Bellas sucking Bryan/Cena's dicks.

The Bella Chants are more a sign of a larger societal problem. Oh and using "mark" as an insult, edgy.

Who in the actual f*** are you to comment on these people's private lives? To be fair it's hardly private when we learn about Bryan "pulling out" and Nikki's sex toys on Total Divas. I'm not saying it's right but it was bound to happen at some point.

What was the Bella chant, I missed it? Its one of the most derogatory chants Ive ever heard frankly and the fact that "We Are Awesome" has gotten a 4 page thread instead of those is baffling, but w/e. Basically the crowd chanted at each of the divas as they were wrestling, "You suck _____". Insert Cena, Bryan, Uso, and Tyson. They didn't mention Punk though when AJ was in the ring. One thing about it though was it seemed like a larger portion of the crowd saved it and by the end it was a "Lets Go Divas" chant.

To paraphrase myself from earlier in the thread, WWE put it all out there with this new "Reality" era. Between social media and Total Divas, WWE intentionally blurred the lines. This is a byproduct. Not the most tasteful, but a legit one.

Telling heels who are bragging about their spot and have been around forever while cheering for and chanting for younger guys to "Please retire" is no where near telling 5 women who have busted their asses to become decent to great wrestlers in the division they only have a spot because sucked the cocks of other workers. Nattie, Brie, AJ, Naomi and Nikki all got those chants, none of them deserve that and I cannot stand two of them. There is a far and away huge difference between "Please Retire. We're sick of you and want someone else" and "You sucked dick to get your spot you useless whore" I'd hope that is obvious.
