Y'know I'll actually give WWE credit for doing something different with Big Show. Sure it sucked that there wasn't a clear winner (and that the winner wasn't Daniel Bryan), but at least we didn't see Big Show turn heel for the 3059753758379th time. Great...you just ruined the surprise for tomorrow's Raw.

I feel like I should tweet Stephanie telling her how badly her creative department is screwing up. Not that it would make any difference.

Really they shoulda went whole hog with that, and have Big Show burst into tears to end it. Sobbing Big Show, fade to black.

I gotta say, I am really surprised at the outrage. I mean everything about this screamed "Do not buy" and "unimportant" right down to every report about the show mentioning that it was only there to set up the Bryan/Orton match at HIAC (right down to mentioning their match having no finish). Hell WWE couldn't be bothered to have more than 3 or 4 matches actually announced on TV.

This is an idea I posted on Facebook for the WWE to salvage the booking after tonight's debacle:
This entire angle seems to be a replay of Austin's chase for the belt in the Fall of 1998.
If they want to salvage this, the most logical choice is for Triple H to say that Daniel Bryan blew his chance at the title, and order a tournament for the title at Hell In A Cell, and make Bryan go through a long process just to get a spot in the tournament. When Bryan gets in, Triple H makes it even more difficult for Bryan to advance, but he does it despite the odds. The semi-finals should consist of Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and The Big Show. The Big Show should actually lay down for Daniel Bryan in the semi-finals, and Orton can go over Rhodes with no harm to Cody's new push; the finals are inside the Cell. Orton wins the match through some convoluted means, only for the deus ex machina, the return of Vince, who says he isn't going to make the same mistakes he did 15 years ago, restarts the match and Bryan finally beats Orton clean, with Vince realizing that Daniel Bryan proved to him that he had what it took be the face of the company.
I just gave the WWE their way out, but nothing close to this will actually happen. It is a sad time to be a WWE fan.

Two PPVs. Two disappointments. CENA COME BAAAACCCCKKK He should come back. That way we can get more disappointing ends results with angry fan reactions. Show Bryan how it's done.

I just gave the WWE their way out, but nothing close to this will actually happen. It is a sad time to be a WWE fan. Don't give the babyface ways out in a heelish manner (see: Big Show laying down for him, make Triple H tell Show to lay down for Orton instead / don't let Orton win in the Cell at all given it's a no DQ environment, let Bryan win outright with no shenangins) and it seems okay. However the problem remains that: a) Bryan's proven he can beat Orton no problem multiple times b) That Triple H/Corporation/Authority WILL strip Bryan of the title whenever he wins it c) That they've blown the time to give Bryan the strap under this story arc The story needs to fade into the background a fair bit as they have used repeated false finishes and inspired people to ask for refunds 2 PPVs in a row. It's simply stupid, in writing & business terms.

The more things change...
Cena's there and we get the same result over and over in the uberface winning.
Cena gets injured and we get the same finish repeatedly with no one winning.
We wait long enough and we'll get Trips coming back as an uberheel, and we'll get the result of him always winning.

Give Rhodes or Punk a one-off shot against Orton for the title at HIAC and have Bryan face Ryback or Show.

I "Get" that sentiment...but why? I mean having thowaway stuff on "Free" TV is one thing. But WWE controls its PPV schedule, its booking, literally every facet except the Arena's Power grid. There is literally NO excuse not to put on a quality show if you expect people to pay $40+ for it. There should be no "Filler" PPVs, if so, take a page from TNA's book and literally make only 4 shows a year "Count".

You have episodes that are really great and answer a lot of questions/have a big moment in the story, and then you have episodes that pretty much just exist to move the story along or to fill the time slot. I'm sure WWE doesn't intentionally put on filler PPVs, but sometimes (usually in October), it's just necessary for the angles they have going on. From what I've seen, at least on the filler PPVs, we get solid ring action to make up for it.

Oh, trust me I'm not defending it by any means. $40 for anything non-WrestleMania is ridiculous.

Yeah, I went to the show tonight (75 bucks for a ticket) The Rhodes Family vs. Shield was really good, RVD vs. Del Rio was a fun hardcore match for what a hardcore match can be now. The rest was pretty bad, Bray Wyatt is fun but that was filler. Punk vs. Ryback was painful.

So apparently WWE.com deleted their poll on whether you liked or disliked Battleground after it got 3000 dislikes.
