piranesi Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Did anyone else love Rusev not giving up that monitor? Like he was looting the announce table to send equipment back to Bulgarian National TV service. I saw that and wondered why WWE still uses CRT monitors. 1) They hurt more when Orton lands on the corner of one 2) You saw what happened to Dean when they tried to upgrade to the newer more explosive LCDs. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick B. Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I was hoping for a Joe appearance especially after they debuted Styles. Don't hope. Hope leads to pain, pain leads to suffering, and suffering leads to not being able to choke a bitch when Gregg tells you how great whatever this is leading up to is going to be.

Josh Mann Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I think we might all be sleeping on how great that Edge and Christion show looks. That may have been the best performance of the night. They had me at the return of Puppet H. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'll say this: how great was Sasha tonight? Stomping Becky. Making Charlotte switch the belt into her other hand for the BFF hand thing. The reverse strut and wooing at Flair. It's like she never debuted months ago and did nothing for half a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The Rumble was a good comedy, especially the end. All of that talent flushed right down the drain so the son-in-law gets to stroke his ego just a bit more. They could have put the belt on a half-dozen people and it would have worked going into WM but now you have the same void at the top of the card. The perfect way to sum up the Royal Rumble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the Orton point about super super durable is kind of a negative when it comes to putting them in places people regularly land on and/or fall through.

brandonr4s Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Three straight Rumbles where I walk away unsatisfied. They're actually managing to bury the best gimmick in wrestling. I do not like WWE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stro Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Considering the table spots to shows without table spots ratio, I'm sure it is worth it to make sure you have monitors that you don't have to worry about getting banged up during travel.

I do not like WWE. Thing is they must sit around every year like "Well, once again it seems like we're in a situation where no one is going to be happy with the Rumble outcome. If only there was like one thing we could magically change...one person whose role we could change and it would somehow let us work our way out of this. Bah...wishful thinking. Nothing in life is simple like that. It's just a weird string of luck. I'll never understand crowds. Hey, Roman, ready for Mania!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 glad to see Stro broke his 14 year non-viewing streak so he could come in this thread and tell everyone he "told us so" while we rightfully argue about the validity of Triple H winning the title over multiple other people. Come on, dude. Brock, Ambrose or Bray could have won, and they'd still have the Reigns/HHH grudge match for 'Mania. There was NO reason for that ending, besides ego stroking and another title reign. And getting closer to the top of the list for most eliminations, all time (if he isn't already). I say all of this while enjoying Triple H as a worker, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Good Lord did Brock club the shit out of Strowman. Strowman was so damn clumsy during their first exchange, I think Brock got pissed and started laying it in three-quarters legit. Some of those knees in the corner were vile. It was tremendous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There hasn't been a genuinely well booked and paced Rumble in like...over a decade. The Rumble got berried a long time ago. Whenever Pat Patterson clearly wasn't involved anymore, they went to shit and have yet to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 2010 was excellent from top to bottom. So I disagree with that statement. Start making magic qualifiers to your original thesis statement and I will go full veg-o-matic on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuntmanCrowley Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I liked the rumble until the end. I thought it was as close to perfect as they were going to get....and then Sheamus is 29 and I knew it was all to shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And getting closer to the top of the list for most eliminations, all time (if he isn't already). I say all of this while enjoying Triple H as a worker, too. Uh...what? That wasn't me, bruv. There was a pretty big reason for HHH winning, which is Roman vs HHH has been simmering since before the Shield breakup, and it would mean even more in the main event at WM for the title. It's very, very basic booking. Anyone thinking Dean Ambrose was going to be headlining WM over HHH is a dumb dumb. People know HHH. HHH is still probably the best performer WWE has. And he's going to have a huge match against Roman for the title in the only thing that has been built at all for WM so far. So, that's a few reasons. Lol at the idea that HHH was worried about another title and the fucking all time elimination title. 2010 was excellent from top to bottom. So I disagree with that statement. Weird. I watched 2010 yesterday or Friday and thought it was hot trash after Punk was eliminated. So many losers. HBK was the only guy with a story in it. And it was so short. I don't think it was even 50 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Whoever booked this one was on the money, even the entrants were placed properly. It's just the ending that spoiled it. But like someone else said, there's a lot of other good shit going on in WWE right now to where you can ignore the title scene completely and it's still an awesome product (more or less). Charlotte vs Becky vs Sasha in the semi-main/bathroom break Divas match at 'Mania will be awesome, and probably the best Divas match at 'Mania since... what, Mickie/Trish? EDIT: Big LOL at the idea of a wrestler that has political clout not caring about his own legacy. Which means, y'know, being in the "history books" for title reigns and most eliminations. But, hey, whatever. And you didn't say you stopped watching WWE in 2002 or something? I seem to remember a thread where you specifically said that.
