[1/29] Official Royal Rumble 2017 Thread: Attack of the part timers!

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

So no ones is going to give Brock credit for jobbing to Goldberg again? He is telling a great story by not being able to beat him.

Rko winning was underwhelming but I ain't mad cause at least it wasn't roman. And speaking of underwhelming who's idea was it to have him come out at 30? They really think this dude is over lol

Decent show tho but next year a young up and comer that has never held a big title NEEDs to win and be made. Part timers and reigns can't keep wining

Who do you wanna see win?

I don't understand their booking. It made no sense to have Reigns in the Rumble. Kayfabe wise what if he won the title from Owens. Would he have given his spot to Owens?

I get all that. but he's a worker. And despite the fact he refuses to go heel. He's a safe bet. I mean cmon Randy Orton won the royal rumble. Would Cena be my choice no. but from a stabilization stand point I get it.

He's been on the roster 15 years now. He's basically the same character he was when he debuted: plain old John cena. There's no long term gain from this. At this stage of his career, he isn't drawing new fans, and he's been driving fans away since that awful 2006-09 era. Time for the new guys to shine. This is why ratings and buzz around the product is so bad. It'd be like if vince kept trying to ride that hulkamania wave into 1999, or if you just want to look at it since he's been a headliner, if Vince tried to ride hogan into 1996. Cena has been around that long. Enough already.

jericho was so annoying during the rumble. dude stayed out the ring most of the time

shyt was stupid since he didn't win. No point in keeping him in there for that long only to get eliminated.

 

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

fukk you talking about? The booking was atrocious.

But the shyttiest Rumble ever? Cmon now.

 

[CBoz]

Didn't think it was that bad.

It actually makes sense. Chill outside while everyone else dukes it out and tires themselves out. When the timing is right get back in and try to win it. It also fits Jericho's character.

It's definitely on the list of shyttiest Rumbles. In fach the past 3;4 can be added to it.

Anyone else not able to watch the replay on the Network? Some message about a blackout

The rumble?

To be honest I like the part timers more than anyone on the roster not named AJ so Brock Goldberg or taker would have been cool with me

I like orton tho I just didn't think they built him up to be the rumble winner it was like a fluke and I hate fluke wins.

 

[HipHopStan]

If he won a year ago, no one would have given a shyt or would have hated it. He wins it this year, people popped. I have a feeling if you looked at Orton's career through the lens of "how would have people reacted if Orton won the Rumble this year?" you'd get some sort of alternating "I'd like it"/"I'd hate it" reaction by the year.

I think you living in the moment breh. but if you feel that way its cool.

 

[MenacingMonk]

People are missing the point of RKO getting the pop: He ELIMINATED Reigns.

After the smoke clears people are gonna be

I ain't even gonna lie to you. I ain't been watching outside or a few here and there moments. but unlike most people who thin Wrestlemania is the signature event. I'm a royal rumble fan. I don't get letting someone eliminate a third of the roster and not having them in the final four. but that's me.
