[hymen man]

Beat the clock huh.. hm, does Jericho win this?

 

[4wrestling]

Someone please get Eve some cue cards next time.  Damn, that was bad.
Miz loses a pre-show PPV match, so of course, let's give him a shot to be the #1 contender for the WWE Title.  Makes perfect sense to me.

 

[masondid.support]

Eve is swinging on the right poles of the ladder cuz her acting is terrible but that body keeps her employed and a damb good body it is...

THIS HERE IS THE MATCH I PAID TO SEE ON THE PPV!

 

[4wrestling]

Beat the Clock is another way of saying we schedule our PPVs too close together and our writers aren't bright enough to come up with a main event match on their own.


What's funny is the average Raw match is about 90 seconds. This match is going on 4 minutes.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Damn..that hoeski eve was looking good..

 

[imasoleman18]

Austin >>>> Brock when it comes to attacking the boss

The buy rate after Brock's loss to Mir was 625,000 buys, but that was with GSP, who was doing 500,000 on his own at that point in time. Brock's first time in drew 600,000 with no GSP on the card, so his loss didn't kill him, but it clearly hurt him. 

Brock vs. Randy Couture did big (920,000), although not as big as most expected (Dana predicted 1.2 million)  it would but not a disappointment. Once Brock won the title, then he was doing really big numbers.

You have to remember that during that period, UFC titles were super over although Brock as heavyweight champion outdrew anyone they ever had. And Brock vs. Overeem after his loss to Cain was way down from Cain and Carwin numbers. He still did well, but that's because everyone expected it to be down so nobody was surprised.

After Brock v Randy (Brock wins title).  These are domestic #'s.....
UFC 100 (Brock vs Mir II) - 1,600,000 (UFC record, also a stacked card)

UFC 116 (Brock vs Carwin) - 1,280,000

UFC 121 (Brock vs Velasquez) - 1,050,000 (Brock loses title)

UFC 141 (Brock vs Overeem, not a title fight) - 800,000

UFC 141 was Brock's 1st fight in 14 months.  Sure, PPV #'s are slightly down across the board for UFC, but if Brock vs Overeem was for the title, it would have easily broke 1 million buys.

Please respond Sir Lobo.

Initially after Brock's first loss-

http://www.amazon.com/s?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=ufc 81UFC 81 650k
UFC 87 625k
UFC 91 1,010,000
UFC 100 1,600,000

Past UFC 100 numbers were, as you said, down all across the board. Are you implying Brock is to blame for that? My point is Brock didn't lose his draw after his debut/loss. What's yours?

PS After listening to Observer radio it's easy to see you're very influenced by Bryan/Meltzer "Brock Lesnar - Just Another WWE Superstar[emoji]174[/emoji]"


PS
Tell me that opening segment wasn't hot, though.

 

[thedeek]

And the winner of the Beat The Clock challenge and your new number one contender at a time of 20 seconds...... RYBACK!

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

The us champion got beat in under 5 minutes..
Smart booking..

 

[4wrestling]

To prove I'm not always negative (although her returning and winning the title was stupid).....

 

[3dgarfly23]

time to fap
edit nvm .......

 

[thedeek]

Oh no, one of the Bella's hair style is different, how are they ever going to do Twin Magic now?

 

[4wrestling]

Their final night, and we don't even get a camel toe goodbye 

I expect Layla to retain and then Kharma to return and destroy both Bellas here.

 

[purplenurple1414]

If her winning last night was stupid, this match just now was 10x worse.

 

[venom lyrix]

was that literally the fastest match ever?

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Was layla match a beat the clock?
Lol.. damn

 

[ao17]

So I take it that the Bellas re-signed?

 

[scott frost]

Au revoir camel toes.

Edit:
God that jacket is so sweet.  And his entrance is still top notch

 

[deleted]

I hope the Bellas don't hate each other after this match.

 

[grimey]

damn i thought i was gonna get to see Layla for at least 5 minutes.
