Royal Rumble (2016)

[NitroFan]

as if lesnar strowman wouldn't be awesome. two big blokes beating the **** out of each other. would be tremendous wrestling, not so good flippy acrobatic shit though

lesnar v harper ftw

 

[TradeDraft]

The "smart fans" hated Triple H winning. But they cared more because Roman didn't eliminate Styles. Guess Owens was worthy enough to do the deed.

Owen's is super over with the "Smart Fans".

So they be okay with that

 

[hench]

Watch his Match vs John Cena

Where the goof injured himself before the match?

 

[TradeDraft]

best rumble match in ages. great effort considering how thin the roster is.

Finsh was nothing Special but the Match was Better then last few years

I though Cena Injured Sammy in the Match

 

[AmellyPies]

Over three stars for a tag match that belonged on Raw and a over four stars for a predictable forgettable Rumble? Get higher standards mate

Don't be sour.

 

[RedVest4]

Would gladly take Bray-Lesnar over the rumoured Lesnar-Strowman match that Vince is apparently boning up over. Given Strowman had the most eliminations, was booked to monster both Kane & Big Show and the limited roster, there certainly is the scary probability that Vince is building him towards a major singles match at Mania

They can't, they just CANT

isn't this the US Open Challenge where he was doing his swinging arm nonsense on the steps and popped his shoulder?

 

[Greatness23]

Threw his shoulder out during his entrance

 

[AmellyPies]

Threw his shoulder out during his entrance

Yeah its so bad but you had to laugh at it, You could see straight away he did it.

 

[Adzam]

Was cool to see AJ styles. Im hoping to see a feud with Owens. They should have some great matches. Seeing Jericho in for that long kinda annoyed me.

 

[Adzam]

I really want to see this Nakamura fella.

 

[Millky95]

Guess Owens was worthy enough to do the deed.

Owens shouldn't be in the same ring as Styles

 

[Pugz89]

Yeah its so bad but you had to laugh at it, You could see straight away he did it.

Then he comes out swinging his arms again today... Obviously willing to take the risk.

 

[AmellyPies]

Then he comes out swinging his arms again today... Obviously willing to take the risk.

Yep, exactly, Thats the same thought.

 

[TradeDraft]

Yeah its so bad but you had to laugh at it, You could see straight away he did it.

He had done it many times before so what bad Timing for it to go on him

 

[Greatness23]

Then he comes out swinging his arms again today... Obviously willing to take the risk.

It must've been very weak at the time

 

[Cleavy]

he had a dodgy shoulder for a long time, and has since had the surgery.

 

[hench]

Owens shouldn't be in the same ring as Styles

He can wrestle himself.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Triple H as champion isn't an improvement. It's a sideways step to a different boring. **** THIS COMPANY. Glad I didn't pay.

So did Sportsbet know something with HHH as Heavy Favorite Pre-Royal Rumble

 

[SnakeMan86]

Have to give props to this years Rumble for the fact that despite so many injuries, they didn't go ham with nostalgic surprise entrants. Aj debut was awesome, jeez he can sell, proper selling, not over the top sell like Ziggler.
And whilst it all seems so obvious now how Wrestlemania plays out, i cling to the fact that we all had the same feeling last year, while i dont dislike Roman, i hate going in "knowing" the WM finish, and love a shock.

There is always one they get wrong. This year it was Kalisto. Past three years they've been bang on with the fav for Rumble match though, although they have been fairly predictable, apart from possibly this year.

 

[SnakeMan86]

Also cant help but wonder how the booking would have gone if not for Cena/Rollins/Bryan/Ortons injuries, it goes back to what Freddie Prince Jnr said on Jericho's podcast about people liking to shit on the product and the storylines, but the storylines are planned out 12 months in advance (basically straight after WM), and often things get thrown all out of whack with injuries.

 

[Hawks1523]

There's nothing worse than a crowd booing wrestlers because of percieved backstage politics.

Give me a smark hijacking over a dead loser town crowd any day.

Becky looks too good early.

Charlotte will retain.

Charlotte has botched nearly every wrestling chain so far, even down to going in too early on the double leg shoot.

She's easily the worst of the "4 horse women"

Where the hell is paige?

Getting a procedure to fix her yellow crotch.


Finally watched the rumble with mates.

Ambrose ****ing sucks. He can't sell worth shit and he relies far too much on that dumb rope spot.

Tag match was good for what it was. I still love new day.

We skipped divas, saw the boss though.

Kalisto and Del rio got skipped too. Didn't care about either of them.

Rumble match was alright. Sad Bray didn't win. Glad Reigns didn't win. Sadly they still went with the boring obvious and safe option.

The highlights.

Wyatts eliminating Brock.
Reigns gassing and taking a 20 min break.
Francesca 2.
AJ styles debuting.
Kevin Owens eliminating AJ styles.
