badfish69 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 2 minutes ago, Craig H said: I'm beyond puzzled at Joe's total lack of use this weekend. He's a face in the crowd during Takeover since he didn't have a match, so you'd think he would be in the Rumble, and he wasn't there either. Maybe they don't have any plans to use him on the main roster. Seems to be the perfect opportunity to debut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badfish69 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 1 minute ago, Charlie M. said: Meltzer's speculation is Cena vs Joe at Mania without it being a title match so it makes no sense for Joe to have debuted and lost in the Rumble. He'll probably show up on Tuesday or at the next PPV. Dave's predicted Mania card is looking pretty accurate after tonight so I gotta lean towards him having good info this year. Joe helps AJ?

Unless Joe was winning, there was literally nothing he could have done at #30 that would have justified the spot. He might have eliminated Undertaker, but then what? He would have looked like a total nobody being tossed by anyone who was left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Are you really gonna run the same finish of the face getting screwed out of the title match by unexpected heel run in twice on the same show though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt788 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Dean Ambrose looked inebriated on medical cannabis during that pre-show lounge segment. Dean put down the pipe you are intercontinental champion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I know I'm in the minority, but I thought Cena/Styles was terrible. I'm over the Main Event Style of 20 minutes of Finisher, kickout, lay around, repeat. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 The SDL 6 woman match could've been on the PPV but noooooo.....Cruisers have to have purple ropes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Guy Named Tracy Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Taker has reached the level of Giant Baba circa 1997. Guys are just pinballing around for his terrible offense. His gut looked huge! As far as the Taker elimination went, I didn't see it as Reigns heel turn based on Corey's comment about Reigns being the new dog in the yard. Their match will be a battle for RESPECT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit I thought because AJ-Cena wasn't ending the show it tipped off AJ winning because that's booking 101. Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldberg beat Lesnar in less than 2 minutes, eliminated him from the Rumble... and you think Owens is going to beat Goldberg, somehow? Goldberg is taking the title at Fastlane, and is going to lose it to Lesnar at WrestleMania. That's just how it's going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, logic would dictate a pissed off Lesnar costs him the title and that's how KO squeaks by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really should have clarified with Dean if it was 1-2-go, or 1-2-3-go.

Burgundy LaRue Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Having AJ lose after the Cena promo? Yeesh. That is the sort of thing that drives me up a wall. Bad booking, questionable title reigns, crazy old Vince being crazy--I can deal with all that. But don't snatch a man's card and then not give it back to him. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They totally blew a magical moment where when Tye and Sami had Strowman halfway out, James should have been the one to yank him out from the outside. And since Strowman wasn't winning, there was no reason not to do that. But no, Ellsworth just vanished during that. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
