Rumble didn't have any big suprise entrant , no great returns or debuts....

You had some people go out way too early that could have been potential winners...

It seemed unnatural how 3 of the biggest names were at the end like that, felt lazy.....

Rany Orton winning? Really?... You have Goldberg, Brock and Taker in it and Orton wins?...
Goldberg, Taker or Brock was too predictable but whoever booked this match did a horrible job.. placing those 3 damn near right after each other and them not even sharing the ring at the same time like on Raw was a completely missed opportunity

Strowman should've lasted til at least Roman got in and got eliminated by him.. then they still could've did the Taker/Roman thing cuz obviously they're facing at Mania

I have no problem with Orton winning.. figured it'd be Jericho honestly... Orton or Bray would've been my next guesses

The moment Reigns eliminated Undertaker, my mood was shot.

Another year, another terrible Rumble. And they're going to do everything in their power to ruin their biggest show of the year for the second consecutive time. :dahell: :mindblown: :camby: :pacspit:
Not only that, but they've botched every rumble starting with the 2011 rumble match.

And they think people gonna give a shyt about Cena and Orton? :ld:

Orton :what:

I was legit shocked but not in a good way. Cena better lose that belt at Elimination Chamber cause him vs. Orton part 50 is very underwhelming

Goldberg looks in outstanding shape, I don't think he's gonna be as bad in a longer match as y'all think

Undertaker looked :flabbynsick: to the tenth power. Holy fukk he looked awful in every conceivable way. Reigns is gonna need a miracle carrying that carcass to anything even remotely passable in 2 months.
They have to switch the title off cena as fast as possible. Not only is it a waste of everyone's time for him to be champion at any point after 2011, but if him and orton is the plan, it'll be the 15th time since backlash 2007 that they've been opponents in a match on pay per view. Here's the list of their matches.
2007: backlash, summerslam, unforgiven
2008: no way out, wrestlemania, backlash
2009: summerslam, breaking point, hell in a cell, bragging rights
2013: tables ladders and chairs
2014: royal rumble, money in the bank, hell in a cell


Not a single classic on that list :scusthov:. They have to switch something. I'd like to say I'm sure of it.

Btw, what the hell are they going to do with Brock and Goldberg? They can't possibly face each other again after Goldberg made Brock his bytch twice in a row.:mjgrin:

And what was the point of Braun taking out Roman in the title match if you're then getting Braun eliminated by Corbin and setting up Roman vs Taker. Nothing about that decision makes any sense now.:why:

So the show was only 3.5 hours. Thought with it being one of the "Big 4" it would last until 11:30e or so.

They've had some PPV's like Payback last just as long

Predictable isn't always bad, also if there was a few legitimate options at the end nobody would have really known for sure out of around 3 or 4 people.

Yeah, booking for the Rumble was extremely lazy, it had the potential to be 1 of the best ever with the line up and was a huge let down.

Orton makes no sense to me, nobody wants to see him main event unless it's in a triple threat, it was odd.

AJ/Orton could've been piff but :francis:
If they were really going with Orton winning the Rumble they could've held off on #16 for Cena and set that up further down the line.

If Bray is really winning at Elimination Chamber they should've been made him look like more of a contender even before tonight. So now we got two/three weeks for this shyt to manifest and another month and a half after that before Mania.
