Anti Draw Daniel Bryan FAILED title reign

Ratings decline started with CM Punk.

>>2900018
Agreed. Daniel Bryan helped send them down the toilet though. Seth Rollins was the sewage works.

Legit question, why do you care about who drew how much money?

>>2900035
The business of the business interests me.

>>2899992
Start of WWE's severe decline

>>2900048
Can you solve the problem of why NJPW sells out venues weeks in advance while WWE has to sell their tickets on discount and film exclusively from one side of an arena?

>>2900108
>Selling out bingo halls is somehow comparable to WWE filling actual arenas
Problem solved, you're a retard.

>>2900108
By and large NJPW rents smaller buildings. WWE rents bigger buildings.

RAW and PPV's usually do sell-out or close to sell-out business.

Stop acting like WWE discounting tickets or papering shows is out the norm. It's been this way forever. Depends on card, market, product popularity, economy and many more reasons.

>Guy had one and a half months as champion before getting injured.
>H-he can't draw.

And you call other people retarded you mental midget? I can't wait until he goes off to RoH or NJPW and cuts into Vince's bottom line. Daniel Bryan's arc was one of the only interesting main event storyline's in the past 5-6 years and yet you feel the need to shit on him.

stfu up moronic and delusional db fanboy

all the guys Vince has cast aside from and you think Bryan will hurt Vince and WWE? KEK!!!!

Bryan is worthless now. I hate the young bucks but WWE can easily hire those two twinks away from indies to replace weak Bryan & corner that smark demographic

>OP SEETHING over a guy who retired 2 years ago
lmao

>>2899992
Shit ratings probablu because his first fued was with fucking Kane. Kane. In 2014. Fuck

WWE's inability to book a champion is why their ratings are crap. The minute anybody gets hold of a title they are booked into oblivion.

>>2900219
Strange but 10 years before thatm Benoit first feud as World Champ was a midcard feud with... Kane

Kane the go to guy to ruin smark darlings Championship runs

>>2900175
>not knowing OP is wolfcuck

Bryan's loser fans full of excuses. Hottest and most over since Austin they said back then. In reality he was less over than Orton during his 10th reign.

>Bryan hasn't wrestled in 2 years
>every night from Wolfcuc he draws 2 tears

>>2900295
>overness = drawing

But that's wrong stupid.

>>2900311
over = drawing

drawing is true measure of being over

that was what Bryan fans disregarded during his run.

crowd pop can only go so far, you have to draw for company to get behind you fully.

TIL Sid wasn't over in the 90s
TIL Diesel wasn't over in 1995
TIL Orton wasn't over in his entire career

>you have to draw for company to get behind you fully.

And yet the company is fully behind Roman Reigns even after he's driven away over 1.3 MILLION viewers.

>>2900340
Sid and Diesel drew but the fanbase was smaller.

Bryan was draw with smarks not casuals.

Orton has many numbers which prove he drew e.g. his SummerSlam match with Cena in 07 drew huge.

Blaming Roman Reigns is so (and I can't stress this enough) simple minded.

>>2900350
>all these mental gymnastics
>still admits that Bryan is a draw

How does The GOAT work anti-smarklets this easily?

>>2900355
When Steve Austin says the true measure of being over means drawing money/putting asses in seat, I think I'm going to take his word over yours.

ITT: NwoWolfcuc trying again to post something that has been disproven.

Daniel Bryan is the highest rated champion among the last 15.

He had the highest rated segments.

He was the second highest merch seller in 2014 and 2015.

>>2900408
Actually, the 2 biggest ratings declines (2001 & 2015) had nothing to do with Punk since he wasn't even in the company at either of those years.

>>2899992

Can you go further with this all the way to the infamous RR?

>>2899992
The B+ player also drove viewers away with his depressing retirement speech.

>>2900429
But his retirement episode was one of the biggest-drawing episodes that year

>>2900108
>NJPW - Smaller arenas, cheaper tickets
>WWE - Bigger arenas, more expensive tickets
Gee I don't fucking know.

12.14.15 RAW Viewership: 1st Hour: 4.043 million, 2nd hour: 3.786 million, 3rd Hour ft. Roman Reigns WWE title win: 3.825 million (gained 39,000 viewers).

02.08.16 RAW viewership: 1st Hour: 3.907 million, 2nd hour: 3.905 million, 3rd Hour ft. Daniel Bryan's retirement: 3.368 million (lost 537,000 viewers).

As former WWE writer Kevin Eck stated on PWTorch Livecast (May 5, 2016); "Daniel Bryan wasn't setting world of fire, when it came to ratings in certain segments, live attendance, same thing with CM Punk, the numbers just weren't there to support that he was over to the level that certain fans thought he was."

>>2900475
His speech was in last hour though and lost half a million viewers. People tuned out because they didn't care. They would have been hyping it throughout show also. You can't credit 1st and 2nd hour to Bryan. He didn't retain audience.

>>2900161

They seriously only got 6k seats in the same arena the Pelicans play in?

For what it's worth, if they didn't try to kill his push with that awful Kane feud he got stuck with after WM30, this wouldn't have happened. Dude's got one of the highest ratings average as champion considering the time period he was champ in, so higher averages are only held by reigns much MUCH older than his. Just the fact that he still gets among the loudest pops per night, and fans went ape shit on TWO Royal Rumbles for the guy should be enough to figure this out.

>>2900417
Pretty sure the next few months after Summerslam proved Vince wrong about Bryan. Wrestlemania 13 was character defining for Stone Cold yet it had shit for PPV buys. Ratings/buys don't go up instantly, they happen after a while of the pushed person being on top, and Bryan never got to be top face for long compared to the amount of time/effort put into Hogan, Austin, Cena, and Reigns.

>>2899992
Drew negative dimes the stock plummeted after he won the tittle

>>2900511
WWE NOC 2013 (Bryan vs. Orton) = 196,000 buys down 11,000 buys from 2012.

Battleground 2013 (Bryan vs. Orton) 119,000 buys. Lowest buys since ECW December to Dismember in Dec 2006.

>>2900527

PPV was dying its not Bryans fault

If we still had regular PPV with no network the buys for todays PPVs would be around 50K

>>2900337
yeah why the fuck would you want to please people already watching

>>2900018
Ratings decline started with WWE going full disney channel

>OP makes thread over a topic he wishes to address over Daniel Bryan well known low drawing title runs
> EVERYONE SEETHES

>>2900539

>Royal Rumble 2013 drew 579,000 buys, UP 96,000 buys from 2012
>Elimination Chamber drew 241,000 buys, UP 47,000 buys from 2012
>WrestleMania 2013 drew 1,104,000 buys
>Extreme Rules 2013 drew 245,000 buys, DOWN 26,00 buys from 2012 but still very healthy
>MITB 2013 drew 223,000 buys, UP 17,000 buys from 2012

I disagree PPV was dying. UFC and Floyd/Manny + soon Floyd/Conor prove this wrong.

WWE miscalculated then again maybe not. It's open for debate. WWE would still draw on PPV if they had legit stars people would pay to see. Rumble and EC buyrates were up because of The Rock. It's a star driven industry and WWE doesn't have many left (Cena, Brock, Reigns, HHH).

>>2900580
if people wanted to see the show they would buy it

the network being the future is bs excuse for them knowing nobody wants to pay to watch their show

>>2900124
>>2900128
>>2900449
So where's the explanation on why WWE has to discount their tickets?
If they keep booking venues they know they can't fill they are literally wasting their money.

If I'm going to book a venue it makes sense to book the $500 one over the $1500 if I'm going to have the same amount of people showing up either way, especially if the $1500 one looks empty as fuck.

>Y'know, I think I'm gonna go boot up Wrestlemania 30 so I can go watch what a great draw Daniel Bryan was.
- Nobody.

>>2900653
Outside of Bryan winning it, does anyone even remember the main event of WM30?

>>2900694

I remember that Dave's head looked like his brain was poking through his skin.

>>2900694
Let's see, off the top of my head?
>Scott Armstrong coming out and Bryan kicking him and then diving on Triple H and Steph
>Bryan hitting Triple H with the hammer
>Bryan doing the kicks to both guys both in the corner and the Yes kicks.
>Batista Bomb/RKO where Randy fucking ate a monitor to the back.
>The stretcher spot and Bryan pulling himself off the stretcher
>I think Randy had a cool leapfrog over Batista at one point.

That's about it.

>>2900694
Batista and Randy Orton.

Brock vs. Taker was real main event though.

We could have had super heel Batista but instead we got a weak midget who wrestled one PPV got injured for 2 years, returned for cup of coffee, injured, then retired. Meanwhile the man smarks hated on with as much undeserved venom as they did Reigns went on to bigger and better thing like becoming a legit Hollywood movie star. So in other words losers smarks picked a guy who repelled the masses over a guy who attracts the masses and WWE hasn't been same since because they stupidly listened to these smarks.

>>2899992

nobody actually cares abour the wrestling part of wrestling ya putz. it's all about the personalities and who can draw the most dimes

>>2900527
Ortonnetty is a confirmed anti-draw

Even the smark darling Jericho has echoed the opinion that while Bryan was popular among the smarky hardcore fans, he did nothing to draw in new viewers

>>2900935
Hey buddy.

You do know Batista was leaving anyway, right.

And the reason Batista hasn't come back, even though he wants to, was that WWE doesn't want him back.

>>2901948
January 1st, 2016 rating is the lowest rating of the year. January 8th, 2016, one of the two lowest ratings of the year. And January 15th? One of the three lowest ratings of the year.

Roman Reigns is a shit champ. Can't draw.

>>2903674

Was he even champ during that time?

Always knew Daniel Bryan was an anti draw. Thanks for confirming it.

Bryan Danielson ding dong diddly sucks!!

Hes the real reason Talking Smack wad cancelled.

>>2905143
He was talking about Japan

Remember when people thought Bryan was as over as Austin.

The most delusional fanbase since CM Punk who was supposed to kick off the next boom period according to his moronic fans.

>>2906351
Bryan was more over.

Don't remember crowds revolting against segments and chanting Austin's name during the late 90s

stay BTFO Wolfcuc

>>2900108
As others already explained, NJPW venues are 10x smaller, that's one.

And two - anti smarks said it many years ago that this shit is gonna happen.
The same type of boring and unentertaining shits that show up in NJPW flooded WWE.
When the product becomes similar to another product, no wonder it's gonna sell similarly.

THE SAME TYPE, as in indie fags.

Well, the numbers were higher for Punk, I think he was more positively accepted than D-Bryan outside the smarks world, by casuals in the internet, etc.

>>2906462
New Japan isn't an indy

>>2906466

For the third time - I was talking about the type of competitors that work there. I don't care what NJPW is by a definition as a company.
