Boy, that was bad. Completely uninspired. Randy Orton doesn't even try. Big Show is Big Show, he's a load but a good enough worker to have a good one with a motivated, talented opponent. Unfortunately, Orton's only got half of that equation right now. I wonder how the WWE higher-ups feel about this? I know no one expected the match to be good, but it's like they phoned it in harder than expected. Maybe the lame finish/booking plays into it, I don't know.
WWE PPV right now is at a very low point. Maybe that creative guy who left after Summerslam was really that damn good.

I don't really have a problem with the WWE temporarily removing Bryan from the WWE title picture, but they shouldn't have had this main event. This should have been one of those quick 8-10 minutes and get to the finish type of match.
Then they should have D-bryan and Punk winning close out the show to have the crowd go home happy and such.

I just love that all the people desperately trolling and trying to convince everyone that Big Show was just as "over" as Bryan was are now eating a heaping plate of crow.
Save the beak for last, guys. It's the hardest part to digest.

Save the beak for last, guys. It's the hardest part to digest. I will stand by that I felt the booking for those couple weeks when like they had Big Show come out in the truck and had Big Show cut fiery babyface promos while Bryan was being a mopey ineffective lump made Big Show seem like the more exciting guy. But that doesn't mean Big Show doesn't suck or Bryan isn't great or Bryan is still a lot better than Big Show, especially as a guy for main event angles. |

I like The Wyatt Family but that tag main eventing the show wouldn't have been very satisfying either. More satisfying than what we got, but that was not a main event worthy match. The elmination tag probably would've been the best option, not super main event worthy itself but at least it was an exciting match that focused on making Reigns look like a star. The WWE title should main event, if the program for the title sucks then it's time to take a look at the talent and the writing involving it. |

was it that bad, or just a case of not giving a fair shake due to lack of interest?

Basically the same kind of thing we've been getting for months. Though they tried to swerve us into thinking we might actually get to see a clean finish to end a PPV for once. |

I think Orton is terrible, and the result was never in doubt, you know Orton was going to win.

The WWE title should main event, if the program for the title sucks then it's time to take a look at the talent and the writing involving it. I think if the tag match was given the main event slot, the participants would have worked a bit harder to make it a more climactic finish I think. Since they knew they were the match before the main event, they might have slowed themselves down a touch. I'm not saying the tag match wasn't going to be a 5 star classic, but it would have been a good enough match to main event. For the last point, I think the show should end with who the fans want to see more. In this case it was Bryan. Nothing wrong with the WWE title program being on the backburner for a ppv or 2. |

I didn't watch, but I read the results and yeah...pure laziness. Having an uninspired match is one thing, but ending it in the most predictable fashion is pathetic.
I'm certainly glad I've slowly been drifting away from watching what's been happening. They'll get my attention again once they start trying.
I have to wonder if the people who didn't believe this would happen when several people rightfully predicted exactly how WWE was going to handle things...if they're convinced now....or are they going to be tricked the next time as well?
You'd think you'd stop sticking your hand in tiger's cage if you keep getting bit.

The "no interference" thing was a bad idea because a crazy overbooked main event brawl was the only way face Show vs. heel Orton was going to be any good.

It was a plodding, nothing of a match. Those two just have no chemistry at all.

An intercontinental or US Title match from 2009 or so, main eventing survivor series in 2013. How will they blame Daniel Bryan for the buyrates on this turd?
