TheVileOne Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I get your point, but invoking Austin Powers lines like they'd be BETTER is ridiculous even for hyperbole. The fact that he hashtag tweets "Believe That" makes it worse. Are people angry about HHH? I'm more ambivalent, but mocking the silliness of thinking that a "HHH vs. Reigns for the title" feud in 2016 is worth anything. In the moment, sure, I was rooting for Ambrose, a guy I don't like, but after the fact, I'm ho-hum. That's the sense I get from most other folks, too. The booking is at least logical, even if it's so dull that I can't be arsed to care about it. I'm more apathetic and disappointed than I am angry about it. Everyone was predicting this, so it's not all that surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More angry that a 46 year old is champ instead of others and that he is gonna be in the main feud headed to Mania. They are upset that this seals the deal (which things could change in the story) that he is gonna main event Mania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yeah, as someone else said, it sucks that WWE's big surprise was being called by many, many people all over the internet before they sprang it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I find some of the reactions to this a bit off. Saying "oh this will never be the end". He has not held the title in seven years and for the last few years has rarely worked. Did he have a match after Wrestlemania last year? Its also curious people are madder about this than Sting losing to him last year. In this case there is not even a clearly better option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stro Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'm kind of surprised he didn't throw in "and WWE Hall of Famers Inoki/Fujinami!". Not that they have much traction with the modern WWE audience, but why not if they're in your HOF anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 You know what else sucked?Titus' big house of fire new entrant moment? Absolutely hate it when guys actively turn their back on others during a battle royale, Titus was literally backing up against guys like Kane resting in the corner. Awful.

Victator Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Guys, Swagger & Henry are jobbers. Move on. Making Henry a jobber as Kevin Owens gets pushed is a better reason to hate WWE than Triple H winning the rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Sugar Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 My biggest beef with the Rumble was the sloppy, sloppy wrestling. Too many rushed spots and guys nearly getting hurt because some fuck is more interested in getting his shit in than to make sure he actually connects, or they guy he's connecting with even sees stuff coming. Jericho screaming "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK" in pain after being awkwardly dropped by Titus was the best response to the sloppiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember who exactly bu there was a couple regular suplexes that was awful. Who the fuck decides to go through elaborate movesets and suplexes in a battle royal. It is fine if the ring is barely filled or everyone knows their spot, like when Brock was destroying everyone. Even with that, the Rumble was pretty good and entertaining from start to finish.

MORELOCK Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I was laughing my ass off at Xavier coming down the aisle huffing and puffing and Big E rubbing his shoulders only for him to turn to Kofi and Kofi is the actual participant. Xavier is great. Except that production totally ruined the bit by popping up #10 Kofi Kingston on screen way too early. Even Cole was like "Who's it gonna be???!! ....Oh it's Kofi." To be fair, this could easily have been New Day improvising something hilarious and not thinking to share it with the production crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stro Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 The decision to have KO beat Henry with the pop up powerbomb was wtf. Looked so bad. Kevin has 7 million moves, all of which would have looked more believable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Shouldn't there be repercussions on Bray Wyatt for putting his hands on Triple H? For kissing the head of Triple H? Why do they tease baby face Bray and then do nothing with it? Kinda want Wyatts v. League of Nations for Fastlane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Double posted but serious question: Why do the babyfaces always cheat?

The absolute worst posts in this threads. Which is saying so damn much considering we talked about video editing for 5 pages. That spot was dope. Henry is awesome, but they have been jobbing him out for a while now. Owens has been the best guy in the company for the last 6 months and it's really not even that close. Y'all are lame. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
