If using cell phone is the only way to vote, I guess that means I will not be voting, either. No cell phone.

This PPV looks good at the moment atleast the world title match looks great.

I hope that HHH will figth against Big Show or Vladimir and we can vote for the stipulation.

Other than that,Great preview Killer.Hopefully CS will be good.Hopefully android makes another thread so I can send my predictions.ErkiB

I think they might have a vote for Hunter's opponent type of thing. They may just set a stipulation and have you vote between Kozlov, Show, and Hardy.

That's what I think might happen anyways.

exactly, thats why i'm not voting this year either unfortunately, cause thats a complete waste of money

That's unreal. You're right, such a waste imho. I don't think I can vote. Even if I wanted to, I live in Canada.

Yeah, Hardy will win the vote most likley. But who knows what'll happen. Kozlov vs HHH in a stipulation match would be something I'd like to see.

» The change in the Cyber Sunday voting this year will likely ensure that WWE does not rig the results since there have been major lawsuits in the UK over rigged contests where people had to pay to vote. BBC had to pay out big sums of money for rigging a contest in which they charged people to vote. For what it is worth, there are no indications that WWE ever rigged Cyber Sunday voting in the past.

Good job on the first post, killer.

As for the cell phone being the only way to vote, ShowStopper beat me to saying it but yes, they did this so the "it's rigged" scandal would die down. I think they did rig it when it came to matches as it's easy to "change" it on the computer IMO.

I don't get it, how is voting via Cell Phone only is going to stop that?

Also, how random was Goldust and Steve Austin? Like did they just come from out of the blue? Oh I thought it was funny when Jerry said Goldust was a Legend, hells hes been a jobber every since he was in WWE. I figured Jerry was going to nominate himself in.

Same here.

Exactly thats poor on Vince Mcmahons part, thank you Vince, this time you really ruined the fun out of Cyber Sunday, So then i would assume this vote will be exactly like the last 2 presidential elections. CROCK!

Most of the peoiple who would vote cant, people such as little kids who either have no cellular phones or whose parents wont pay for them to vote, or most people in america are suffering due to the poor economy, so thank you Vince, now we really feel like we're part of the WWE Fan Nation

LOL, you guys are acting like this is totally out of the blue, the poster was released almost a month ago and it had cell phones on it. That could only mean one thing, you must text to vote.

As for how this changed the way things look with rigged Cyber Sunday votes. Oh, believe me, those conspiracy theorists will come up with something after Cyber Sunday is over, there is no escaping that the WWE rigs Cyber Sunday, especially when people know that it's planned...

WWE does not need to rig the vote. Super obvious bias in the booking in this pay-per-view, going back to the days of the very 1st Taboo Tuesday, has almost always been enough to usually throw things favorable in WWE's direction.

Not to mention, often **** for selection WWE gives a person.

Well, you expect the WWE to receive over billions of text messages? It makes so much sense. If they let everyone text the votes, it would be a huge catastrophy and no one wants that...

lets say there are 3 million peps in america (bet theres mor eim just saying) Half of them like wrestling so like that 1.5million

so then 50% of those 1.5million have cell phones so thats 750,000 people with cell phones 3 quarters of that is gonna actually pay

so thats 562,500 people will vote thats gonna be alot less then last year

OK, to make that equation more accurate. Multyiply 3 million by..let's say...10.

I honestly think it will be a break through, many people text and if you have metro PCS, you have unlimited textig:o

i pretty much had to type out everything in the preview, except that huge paragraph on the extra rules, that i copied and pasted, cause there was no way i was putting that into my own words :P

.99 + whatever your normal text message rates go as

No WAY! We have way more than 3 million people here, multiply it by something above ten!

I get free texting so all I pay is 99 cents! I'm not voting though, I have other things I do with my texting, I'm not going to waste it on voting, meh.

@Killer: :lol: Would you if you were bored:P(type out that whole thing?)

id say bout 10 million

why not vote it .99 man thats not much

id say bout 10 million

the thing they shouldve done, is (like what they did before) have 1 vote per computer, and cell phone texting, that way it would be much more fair, rather than having 1 vote a day, and having so many random votes to count (not that WWE were counting that anyway)

Well, Stone Cold was rumored to make another of his random appearances at Cyber Sunday so he might be a shoe-in to win.

As for the voting, I honestly think that the voting process would be like an election, have WWE fans go to the polling stations and vote! Thus elimnating all these useless ways.

Austin being fair = Stunner to Batista and Jericho?

As for Goldust, the pathetic waste, he was terrible in TNA and now that he is now signed back to the WWE, he'll be even more terrible, he NEEDS to retire. It's sort of obvious that HTM will win, that's what the purpose of Santino trying to beat his record, I think it's too early for them to face though.

OHHHHKAY so let me get this strait,wwe is now charging people to vote, HA My ass, I know im not voting but I can hope so I HOPE

Randy wins the referee position seeing as he doesnt care who hes going to face when he gets back and hes rather lethargic and non chalant so i can see him missing a couple of falls and not counting while theyre outside, he'd be so much like Triple H damn Hunter is rubbing off on Randy I think Randy is getting hotter everytime I see him, but I know the fans wont vote for him so i hope WWE rigs it to where he can win because I dont want HBK-BSB to win because like Killer said he'll screw over Jericho, and no one wants Botchtista as Champion for thr umpteeth time, Austin would be a good ref too but hes to forceful and physical and he still owes jericho some payback from vengeance.

Santino fighting one of those old ass b@stards..that just sunds sad I dont care which one ggets the vote im not even going to tune in for that part.

Is that all the matches so far? And i still ahte that poster

Goldust isback? Hmm i should pay attention moresmokingsbad

I think they're pushing for Honky Tonk Man, it makes the most sense. Although I'd vote for Goldust.

I also never new Goldust was back. Will they still charge for votes online or will they just not do online votes?b3yondstupidity

They're just not having online voting.

when i saw Goldust as one of the choices, my first thought that came to mind, "He's back in WWE?!"
