Why is it that the people who say WWE is predictable, are the same ones who look up spoilers?

Question

I'm Not Here (The Colony) brought this up in one of my questions yesterday, and now I want to bring it up to the Wrestling Section.

I have to say, he is right.

I doubt it is as predictable as you say it is, sure maybe a few parts are predictable(like the SD Chamber Match) but a lot of it isn't. I'd bet my left arm that most of you get half of your predictions wrong and then just come in here and say you got them right.

Have I been pointing out the flaws in SOME wrestling fans over the past few days?

Answer it in the link, more detail in there.

BQ2: Do you think WWE is very predicatable?

Answer 1

Well, the only times I find WWE predictable is in matches with Orton and Cena at valuable PPV's like e.g. Wrestlemania, because I know they're not going to let their top mainstays lose infront of their fans at big stages. Other than that I feel that WWE is still unpredictable, as long as I avoid all these spoilers. It's hard, but I'm trying to avoid spoilers to the best of my ability, but it's difficult when some users even post the spoilers in the title of their questions....



If we look away from the most predictable wrestlers like The Undertaker, Orton and Cena, I think WWE still possesses the unpredictability it provides. Let's take recent WWE shows for instance. The match last week at RAW between Sheamus and Daniel Bryan was pretty unpredictable, wasn't it? I actually thought Sheamus was gonna lose for a second, and draft himself to Smackdown, but he won. He won and became the new U.S Champion, which I would've never thought of.



If we go even further back, I think we atleast have ONE or more unpredictable momentums in each episode of RAW and Smackdown. E.g. I'd never thought The Miz would beat Cena for 3 consecutive weeks, or the fact that Albert Del Rio won the Royal Rumble. You get my point? As long as I manage to avoid spoilers, I think WWE is still pretty unpredictable to some extent. Although I can tell a few outcomes by myself, because it's almost TOO obvious, I still think it's unpredictable.



Cheers!



Woah, almost missed the BQ :P



BQ2: To some extent, yes. I'd say it's 65/35 in the unpredictability's favor. I'm trying to avoid predicting the outcome of the matches and instead enjoy it for what it is. There are lots of momentums I would've never guessed, but at the same time some of it is very predictable.



As for right now I actually think Randy Orton is more predictable than John Cena. After all the speculations about John Cena being "Superman", they've let The Miz beat him 3 weeks in a row, while Randy Orton on the other hand is delivering 3-5 RKO's every week and wins every single of his matches.



Hope this helped.

Answer 2

That's a good point.. I guess I can say Im one of those people because I always look at spoilers, but theres always people who don't look at spoilers who think that WWE is predictable because if it's the same match over and over again chances are you can predict the winner.



BQ2: I think it is simply because they just use the same feuds (Cena VS Miz, Kane VS Taker) and after watching feuds for quite some time all you have to do is watch the matches, look at the title history and predict it.. Like I predicted The Corre would win the Tag Titles at Elimination Chamber because I looked at the tag title history and saw Santino and Kozlov had the titles for awhile and looked at previous champions and saw the same reign, and in the current WWE, title reigns don't last long.

Answer 3

Part of it is, part of it isn't. I will admit I look up the smackdown spoilers on Wednesday. I also call it predictable, but here is how I see it:



Royal Rumble 2011:

Miz def Orton (he just won the title, why would he lose it?)

Edge def Ziggler (he also just won the title, plus dolph is world title material yet)

Divas match was changed at the last minute so I didn't get to predict it

Del Rio wins Royal Rumble (he was the only one who really did rumble promos, I kinda got lucky with this one)



Elimination Chamber 2011:

Edge wins Smackdown Chamber; Cena wins Raw Chamber (a monkey could see that one coming)

Alberto Del Rio def Kofi Kingston (WWE wasn't gonna kill his momentum with a loss to Kingston)

The Corre def Marella & Kozlov (it was clear WWE was preparing for a match vs Nexus or Big Show and his partner at Mania)



Promos:

Del Rio wants to challenge the World Champion at Mania (another choice that was clear as day)

Undertaker is behind 2.21.11 promo (come on, who is WWE trying to fool?)



Point is, some of the big things are and small things usually aren't.

Answer 4

Those people are the only douchebags who try and predict it. They know whats going to happen, then say they called it, even though they already knew. Well it's not calling it if you KNEW it was gonna happen ya bunch of f*ckin idiots.



BQ- Everything that could be said on that matter has been said by the answerers of that question already.



BQ2- I don't watch WWE, but when I for some reason turn it on, I really don't think it is. I mean, matches between main eventers and jobbers are, but something like a surprise attack or something, no one knows that's going to happen unless they 1. Read the spoilers, or 2. Claim they knew when they didnt.

Answer 5

Nope. i like the staring at WWE, yet whilst i do unlike something approximately it i'm going to declare it. I won't consistently ***** approximately it while you evaluate it quite is unlike which will exchange something, yet i'm going to easily permit it relatively is familiar that i don't accept as true with something they have accomplished. i attempt to adhere up for the WWE and notice the beneficial part of what they are doing notwithstanding if i don't unavoidably like it, yet i'm not in common terms going to take a seat down back and pretend I accept as true with each and every thing they do. i wouldn't likely say I "*****", it relatively is greater that I permit my opinion be familiar.

Answer 6

i dont. i hate spoilers and never look at them. i jsut what's gonna happen for big events.



for the 2009 rumble i predicted each winner correctly

Answer 7

i know one that nobody now i'll give you a hint it starts with Raw and ends with Gm.
