Sure was. Two days after dropping the belt to Rollins was when Reigns got suspended for a month

When has there ever been anyone who has been a really popular draw without a belt who didn't have multiple long reigns with the belt before?


Andre is basically the archetype here

EDIT: Also New Generation Era Undertaker

I feel like none of those guys were really "draws" in any meaningful sense.

But in any case, if you're resting on logic of "well it happened once back in the 80s" then that's probably not, you know, sound strategy.

I think my point stands.

Cena can draw without the title now because 10 years ago, he held the title for the better part of five fucking years, thus granting him a lifetime of credibility. Braun can't get that with personality and a catch-phrase or whatever.

A decent amount of time with a main-event level belt is necessary (although not sufficient) to be a draw of any reasonable amount...

I was pointing out it was Jake because it was 25 years ago. The last guy that drew (and he DID draw) without a Title was Jake a full quarter century ago. So yeah, it's simply not a thing that can happen anymore.

The business has changed. He needs the belt at least once for a while.

Not a PPV.


It literally says on the poster "Live on Pay Per View"


Oh well then scarlet is wrong and Lopen is right

Because yes I still stand by my thought that if it's available on PPV, it's a PPV regardless of anything else

I also don't feel like it was built like a normal PPV but agree to disagree

The General Sport Authority would like to apologize to the viewers and attendees of last nights WWE event that took place in Jeddah, over the indecent scene involving women that appeared as an ad before a segment. It would like to confirm its total disapproval of this, in the shadow of its commitment to eliminate anything that goes against the communities values.

The authority has made sure to ban showing of any segment that involves women wrestling or any scenes related to it, and stipulated that to the company (WWE). The authority also disapproved any promotional material with pictures or videos showing women in an indecent way, and emphasized on commitment of this rule. And its a commitment that the authority would still commit to forever in all of its events and programs.

Finally got time to update my ppv main event appearances/wins spreadsheets. Quite a few wrestlers got their first ppv main event, considering it was a 50-man rumble. Such first-timers include Curt Hawkins, Drew Gulak, The Good Brothers, and The Ascension, among a few others.

Strowman gets his third main event win on ppv, putting him in a tie with Savage, Luger, Owen, Foley, Big Show, Bray, and Owens.

Orton's appearance in the Rumble marks his 49th ppv main event, making him tied for 4th place with Shawn Michaels. However, 3rd place is HHH with 68, so Orton's got his work cut out for him if he's trying to reach the top three!

So what you're implying is that this is becoming a frontrunner for worst promotional tactic of 2018?

Though I guess for them w/e funds NXT it's all good.

eh I just think if they at future Royal Rumbles say Daniel Bryan has the record for longest duration in a Rumble
then that means the event was important and at this point I think thats the only distinction in "PPV"

otherwise it is just a televised house show
