Has a crowd ever left in droves like this DURING a PPV main event?

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

This might be the worst wwe has been in a decade

The booking is just horrible

Insanely talented roster and this they best that can do

I was gonna say summer 2014 through mania 31 was horrid and maybe worse, but Rollins and Ambrose had a good feud at least and Brock was still getting heel heat. I haven’t watched more than a match or segment here and there in months and just fro reading reviews I’m getting 2007-09 type vibes. No direction for anything on the show. All that’s missing to make the cycle complete is a few bad celebrity guest hosts. Even 2006 at least had a few guys in the main event who were over and matches being booked in a way that made sense.

7:00 AM and you up discussing play fighting.....

The loser needs SOMETHING to do before he opens the gate and doors to start his GameStop shift

It almost takes effort to sabotage such a talented roster. Even worse they're hoarding even more talent in NXT. Keith Lee doesn't stand a chance of reaching his full potential.

Havent watched any wwe show since mania



Shyt dont change...just gets worse i see ...

Oh dude they hit like a 10 minute rest hold session in the middle of the match, in your fukkin MAIN EVENT. You will never see that shyt in NJPW. I would be bored to death too. Joe was talking about "Feel this pain Roman" while he had him there in a fukkin chinlock.

There's too many other feds to watch, so WWE has been on youtube highlight status the past month until they sort their shyt out.

Yeah, no one wants to see Bryan wasted on Cass, no one wants to see Carmella and Iconics bring Charlotte/Becky/Asuka down. No one wants to see Orton in 2018 even tho he's still decent in the ring. Where the fukk are Gargano and Ciampa? Call them up already. Gargano is not going to get any hotter than he is right now, I'lll tell you that.

 

[TransJenner]

How do you have probably the most collective wrestling talent in years, but you put on shows almost as bad or worse that the stuff between 2007-2012 ????

It’s not as bad as the 2009 era at all

 

[DANJ!]

When they cut to the crowd tryin' to get a "crowd cheers" shot after the match and it's just people gettin up to leave... Like you could tell they were heading to the exit...

And it just makes no sense. I get that they didn't just wanna give up soon as he started gettin' some boos here and there, but they've just refused to turn him or do anything different with him since then... they insist that people are gonna change their mind one day and decide to like him. And the longer it takes, they're gonna keep having him in the main event anyway. shyt's stupid. Even with Cena, he was their cash cow and the younger fans loved him, I can see why they didn't turn him. But I don't see where Roman has a specific appeal/fanbase or generates that much money- women like him cause of how he looks, but they'd still like him if he turned heel. That ain't sellin' no tickets. This Reigns shyt is easily the most stubborn thing Vince has ever done.

 

[Golayitdown]

The crowd kind of popped to me. I don’t get it.

I haven't watched but I wouldn't doubt that they did.

As crazy as it seems, as long as you don't have these folks leaving on camera, it's actually probably better for Vince, especially if it's the vocal part of the audience that boos Roman.

 

[Rell Lauren]

I don't blame Roman like the narrative is being spun. The show ran very late and Prudential Center isn't in a good location. Granted, there are police from the arena to Newark Penn, Newark isn't somewhere you want to be late at night if you're not from the area. People had work and school the next day. WWE dropped the ball on what will likely be the worst PPV of the year.

This is what I don't get. I would almost have sympathy if it was a Luger situation where they're just throwing shyt on the wall (the bodyslam challenge) trying to replace the current Hogan and options are limited but there's a line of guys that they could have been openly auditioning to take over.

Not to mention that the whole reason Roman was initially over and getting cheered in the first place was the exact opposite of what they've been pushing for the past few years. Not only did they set him up to fail but they switched up what had people in his corner in the first place.

The unfortunate part of everything is that the guy who portrays Roman is not the problem at all. He's following marching orders. The Roman character, however is going to continue to be the scapegoat for everything.

People were leaving?

Exactly I get accused of hating Joe but I hate the Roman character. Wearing that same stupid shield outfit.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

I laughed at that too, but there were a lot of empty seats shown in the other photo.

I was there last night, people did make a mass exodus after Roman got the pin, NOT during the match. Not to mention, the ppv did run almost to 11:30. So people were eager to get out of there and get the fukk home.
