Royal Rumble (2016)

[Zondor]

What would have made the Wrestling World Buzz would have been an AJ Styles Win. Now nobody would have seen that coming. Fans would have marked out Big Time. But let's put the title back onto a Washed Up Talent-less Hack. Oh to be rooting the Boss' Daughter. :stern look

 

[Cleavy]

still as funny and relevant today, as it was 1 year ago

 

[SnakeMan86]

They also booked Reigns elimination terribly wrong.
They should have had the League of Nations go to the back, drag Reigns out of Medical still barely able to stand, throw him in the ring then have HHH (or anyone really) eliminate him, this would at least give him some sympathy, and the League and HHH some heat instead of super reigns no selling a comeback.

We may need a forum vote on the Lunatic Lariat.

I heard Cole call Ambrose's rebound clothesline the "whacky line" today. Surely someone else heard it? If so, worst name for a move in the history of the company.

They've booked him wrong for months and months, nothing is gonna stop them now . When you're playing the underdog storyline, you don't have the underdog beat the shit out of everyone and win all his matches.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Does that mean triple h is back as a full time wrestler

OHOHOHOHOHOHO. Triple H will be back in retirement after WrestleMania.

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Yeah the Roman comeback was a terrible idea. Why not let him dominate the entire match and let us see his stuff? Give us a reason to cheer this loser.

If you hate Roman then this was the worst result for you, now you have to watch Roman hog the main event spotlight with a has-been for the next four months. Then win the title and probably feud with a Rusev type and tread water until Rollins returns to continue the authority hunt against Reigns. Geez things are looking pretty bleak for WWE for a while.

 

[JP Sauce]

They had to get his Reaction

What reaction?

*stares blankly*

 

[RedVest4]

Sick to death of the whole "authority" angle, they've been doing it for years and years, not just now Reigns... The crowd knows this and shit all over Reigns cause they've seen it before and he isn't booked right. They need to do something different.

And still fans say Roman Reigns gets shoved down our throats but Triple H main eventing the biggest event every year for the last decade is tolerable

 

[NitroFan]

i endorse any and all HHHate

 

[E92_]

Triple H is the most overrated wrestler in history. Average on the mic and above average in the ring.


... still better than reigns though....

 

[timtamWB]

At the moment, we're choosing between getting our dicks chopped off, and getting our hand chopped off.

Both are terrible. But there's one you definitely want more than the other.

 

[Igloo]

I still love you based H.

 

[JP Sauce]

I enjoyed the show overall. The 4 title matches were good to great.

IC Title match was great. Both guys bough the aggression and made it an enjoyable spotfest. A fitting end to their feud, or at least it should be.

The New Day are always and will always be awesome and they should keep the titles forever.

US Title match was hurt by a little sloppiness and the Women's Title match was hurt by Ric's shenanigans and sexual assault, although it was one of the better main roster women's matches in quite some time. The Boss was all boss at the end and it was fantastic.

Take out all of the Reigns stuff and I really enjoyed the Rumble. AJ looked great and his appearance was legitimately awesome, KO and Ambrose looked bad ass, Zayn got a nice pop, the Wyatts looked strong, Brock looked strong... and most importantly it actually set up some feuds going forward.

I don't even really care that Triple H won because it's been leading that way for a while. I mean I care because in no way should Triple H be anywhere near the title but after months of shit booking this was probably their best option.

The booking of Reigns and the Authority tonight was the pinnacle of stupidity. No one buys the stretchered to the back angle anymore and it was made to look a billion times stupider when the already eliminated Wyatt family took our Lesnar half an hour later. If you're gonna do that bullshit then do it properly or don't do it at all. ****ing Vince, Hayes, whoever makes this bullshit happen... I can't believe the people who create NXT and the people who wrote this are employed by the same company. Maybe we will just have to wait until the old guard die off.

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Oh one more thing, I'm finding everyone bashing the stretcher bit to be pretty hypocritical considering Wrestlemania 30 was supposedly perfectly booked, at least Roman didn't overcome the odds in the end like a much smaller harier wrestler would have

Massively different and you know it. Orton and Batista wanted to take Bryan out of the match as best they could and, as it wasn't an elimination match, they opted for a high impact move on him.

Vice and his lackeys apparently wanted to take Reigns out of the Royal Rumble, however instead of literally eliminating him they opted for a high impact move and then for reasons unknown to anyone they opted not to eliminate him and just wander off instead.

Don't like it that much. Then don't Watch it

Need a Whole New Creative Team and Vince to leave the WWE

 

[JP Sauce]

Here's a couple of screen grabs.

Unknown music hits. Who could it be?





The word "Phenomenal" appears on the screen, crowd pops. Roman?





Hmm, still nothing huh?

 

[Pugz89]

They're starting to re-package him. He will now be known as Dick Dastardly.

 

[Pugz89]

Gotta admit also, there was a part of me who was a bit confused as to how Dean took so much punishment then Owens cops a push from behind, through tables and bam. Hell of a match considering though. And the crew were quick to repair the timekeeper area, as it was back to perfect and reinforced properly for the next match (remember someone being thrown against it an it didn't budge at all).

 

[Brick Loosener]

Kalisto and Del Rio is just moronic.

New Day are just garbage.

If I never saw the Flair brothers again it would be good. Not a Banks fan at all but she is the best wrestler along with Becky.

Seems like a good night for Ambrose. Would like to see him win it once. Roman is pus.
