BadBlood BuyRate

[Guest The Grand Pubah of 1620]

The latest estimates on the Bad Blood buyrate are between 300,000 and 400,000 buys (probably towards the 300K-side, however). That would make it slightly more successful than Backlash, but slightly less successful than Judgment Day.

That's not bad, considering Backlash & Judgment Day had the full roster, and BB only had half.

I'm shocked that a PPV based on fucking Nash vs. HHH outsold Goldberg vs. Rock.

 

TWICE!!

I think people like to see gimmick matches.

 

Judgement Day and Bad Blood were both headlined by one.

 

I doubt it really has anything to do with HHH/Nash.

[Guest bob_barron]

Hell in a Cell and Mick Foley helped a lot.

Me too.

 

Overall, it was okay what happened, but what they SHOULD have done was...

 

I was happy with Mack-Nowinski winning, it establishes them as a heel tag team.

 

I was happy with Steiner winning, granted for angle purposes they could have given this match to Test for the feud to last longer, but Steiner got Stacy much to fan's delight.

 

I didn't want to see La Resistance win. I really didn't but I saw it coming, just shocked Kane didn't turn on RVD.

 

(I dunno what would have been a happier outcome in tag matches, for RVD/Kane to have won and kept their belts or for the Dudley Boyz to have won for fan service?)

 

Booker T SHOULD have won the IC title, it was in his fucking hometown for crying out loud. A lot of fans, inculding myself, were pissed about the DQ finish.

 

Fuck Goldberg, but the match was good. Funny to have heard the "Goldberg sucks!" chants again.

 

Flair/Michaels could have been a classic, but what do they do? They fuck it up by having Orton interfere. I would have gone either way by each man winning. And if Flair was gonna cheat, at least let him do it on his own like Classic Naitch. They definitely need a rematch between Michaels & Flair, hopefully at SummerSlam, they will.

 

Austin/Bischoff was fucking retarded and a waste of time. I would have been happier seeing an Ivory/Jazz match. Seriously.

 

HIAC wasn't great, wasn't memorable either. This one was a double edged sword: you wanted HHH to lose the title, but then again did you want Nash as world champion again? I was happy Nash got buried. And it was great to have Foley involved, he did do the right thing though.

 

Basically to have changed the fuck-ups:

 

- Have had one face tag team win whether it was the Dudleyz or RVD-Kane

 

- Given Booker T the IC title (since it was in his hometown, if it wasn't in Houston, I wouldn't have been so pissed about the DQ finish.)

 

- Had a clean finish on HBK/Flair or have Flair cheat on his own and made the match longer.

 

- Redneck Bore-athalon shouldn't have happened, replaced with another match such as a women's title match.

I'm not, and I'm fucking thrilled
