Having not watched anything but the HIAC PPV in the last few months I thought it was an excellent show. I wonder if the depressing effect Raw has on the regular viewers has anything to do with the reaction.

Maybe. I wish I'd of watched now.

Although I can't help but laugh at the fact I came top in GRAPL despite having not seen a single show in the runup to the event. :lol:

Definitely worth it even if you already know the outcomes imo.

PWinsider.com via various wrote:Backstage at last night's TLC PPV, there was a lot of concern for the lack of pop that Ryback got when he came out for his match last night.

Some were blaming the heel fans that were very loud in the crowd for the lack of reaction, but the feeling was that those same fans booed John Cena and were very vocal about their dislike of him.

Keep in mind that ROH was "just down the road" at the Hammerstein Ballroom earlier in the day and a lot of those loyal and diehard fans likely made their way over to TLC as well. There were "oley" chants directed at Sheamus. For those unaware, fans chant "oley" for El Generico in ROH.

Well, he has gone from a poor man's Goldberg to someone who has failed in 3 consecutive PPV main events.

If he wanes in favour of The Shield getting over instead, then who cares really.

No, they need more stars. I think they need to make him feud with a heel Orton or something.

During the six-man tag match the crowd chanted "Goldberg! Goldberg!". Michael Cole inadvertently lets slip "Listen to this crowd!" before quickly realising he's made a tit of it. BotchaMania gold.

Ryback doing the spear and sticking out his tongue to fans as he bounded back up off the canvas didn't help his cause much.

He'll probably come out on RAW tonight not giving a gooseberry fool. Because that's what he does 9/10.

To top it all off this all came a day or so after he gave an interview saying how the Goldberg chants had died down completely and they're different because he doesn't do any of Goldberg's mannerisms..then fast forward to the PPV the chants were probably at their all time loudest and he even goes as far as acting like Goldberg and doing the spear. I don't know if he was just playing up to the crowd at that point - kinda how Cena was when he reverted to mat wrestling when the crowd were chanting "You can't wrestle" to him.

There was a huge contrast between the reaction he got on Raw when he made the save against the Shield and when his music at the TLC..there weren't even any boos or anything let alone cheers.

I have no idea whether it was genuinely his head or what, but I've never been able to get over the sound of that piledriver on the stairs at 18:15.
