There's a number of times I thought Undertaker should call it a day:

Losing the WrestleMania Undefeated Streak to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX. Still fucking hate it. 

25 years of the Undertaker at Survivor Series 2015.

Putting Roman Reigns over in the main event of WrestleMania XXXIII. The post match was perfect as it went back to Undertaker inside the ring with the coat and hat on only to take them off, his gloves first. 

WrestleMania XXXVI.

This Survivor Series will mark the 30th anniversary of the Undertaker.

I like your booking, @Godfrey

Cheers, @The Natural!

This is the thing that drives me crazy about Brock Lesnar. There are MULTIPLE interesting options and outcomes that one could go with for him being in the Rumble. But the powers that be have shown that when faced with an interesting option to go to for Brock, they immediately go in the opposite direction. We can all throw out stuff like "lolromanwinz" but "Brock Lesnar wins because FUCK YOU THAT"S WHY" has been Vince's go to answer for years now.

I would love to be wrong and something new and exciting come out of this Rumble. I like Brock. I like having Brock around. But I don't care about WWE Champion Brock. I don't care about "the reigning, defending, UNDISPUTED...." interviews. I don't care about the spoilers from Heyman. Give me something new. Give me something I haven't see 500 times over the past few years.

That's gonna be a nightmare for the love crowd to keep track of...

WWE hasn't had a love crowd in years.

The fact that Kofi has a rumble gimmick of finding new ways to avoid elimination, but it has to be a new one every year, and he always then gets eliminated anyway is getting lame. Just let him do a greatest hits tour of all the ways he ever didn't get eliminated, and make the final four at least. If the final two is Kofi and Roman, that's a split crowd. If it's Roman and Brock (or someone else overpushed) that's a negative crowd resenting that they're being forced to support Reigns.

Also, since I haven't seen it mentioned, Shorty G has drawn Sheamus for a match on Sunday.

With any luck it's :05 long with Gable walking into a Brogue Kick and the rest of us ever forgetting "Shorty G" was a thing.

Having the ladder match with an over Rey on RAW and the normal match with not-over Humberto at the Rumble seems ass backwards.

Yeah. I get the idea of giving new guy the rub, since Rey doesn't need it, but what they should've done is 

1. US title match on Raw with Rey losing due to Zelina, no ladder (and have it finish the damn show)

2. Andrade tries to DDTkill Rey again, or actually does

3. Humberto runs out, wants ladder match at PPV

3. Humberto wins US title at PPV

This show doesn't need more matches. It needs fewer. I hope both of these are on the pre-show, and I say that liking all four guys. 

4 "World" champions and 2 1 hour battle royals where "anyone/everyone" can qualify for future bouts against those "world" champion.  That's already 3.5 to 4 hours filled, and a perfect kayfabe excuse [as I think I mentioned up thread] to not have the midcard belts defended and to not burn through a potentially hot/appealing matchup that could be a selling point on a future PPV instead of the rumble, which people watch for the rumble itself/rumbles themselves

Just because they can run a 6 hour show on their own network doesn't mean they should

Considering their priorities, they should. These dumb shows that go on forever are all about bolstering metrics for the Network.

WrestleMania this year will probably be 36 hours long.

DID YOU KNOW?

"Wrestlemania is now the longest live entertainment show on record, beating the previous record set by the unedited version of Goethe's Faust..."

I mean, fuck, they already have 24 of the 30 guys announced at the moment. Not that much room for surprise entrances.

That sucks as surprise entrants are a key part of the Royal Rumble match especially the genuine ones.
