Royal Rumble (2016)

[JuddyBuddy]

Well Triple H was obviously not $1.50 favorite leading in to the match for nothing. Either the bookies are very good at predicting outcomes, the weight of money is or the books had inside info. Either way I'm avoiding looking at odds next year. Kinda ruined the suspense. Once HHH's music hit it was obvious what was going to happen.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

If you feel like watching it again with internet commentary

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Was i distracted or something when kofi came back in or did he never re-enter? I don't recall seeing him again after the spot on big e's shoulders.

When Roman was being beat down on the outside, Kofi was eliminated off camera. Yeah.

 

[Gak Attack]

I'm just glad Roman didn't win. Absolutely ridiculous that he couldn't stay in that long, a near 50 year old flabby Jericho can last near the whole match but our dominate defending champion can't, ****ing lel.

jericho dropkicked him out when he tried to re enter. they missed it when it happened live but showed a replay.

Yeah its bs. Leaving him in for the whole match and then having him eliminated by HHH would have had a much better effect imo, rather than making it plainly obvious he doesn't have the stamina to work the whole match.

 

[PVF]

Pretty devo that CM Punk didn't come out at 30 to be honest.

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Did anyone else find it highly irratating that Brock just took his elimination on the chin? He's supposed to be the beast yet he didn't give a shit that 3 guys who were already out of the match played a part in tossing him out?? Plus the refs did **** all to prevent it. Seriously, i know its wrestling and you take some "creative license" to push storylines along, but you need to make them somewhat believable. The modern day fan doesn't just play along like they used to.

To be fair, any 8yr old could have picked the winner in the past 3 rumble matches.

McMahons/Writers are lazy

 

[Golden_6]

Also a bit annoyed at when Reigns left the arena. He basically walked off with a slight hold on his shoulder. Surely at least leave him incapacitated

 

[eddiesmith]

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

The problem with the stretcher spot here is it was predictable weeks ago that it would happen and it only happened because Roman Reigns, the bloke who is supposed to be the top guy in the company, can't last more than 2 minutes without getting gassed and 10 minutes in a multi man match is his absolute limit...

Problem is the reason Roman didn't win seems to be to give him an even bigger 'moment' when he beats HHH at Mania. ####en meh.

Agreed Brock AND Roman should have come back in after elimination and destroyed everything for the sake of it before being forcibly removed by any security the WWE could get there hands on.

 

[Brick Loosener]

Roman is just trash. Cant wrestle, no mic skills and gets gassed wetting his hair.

And gets booed entering, booed doing his shit moves, booed eliminating jobbers and booed losing.

 

[Ry009]

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

And both still have better cardio than Roman

 

[Hawks1523]

I'm not bothered by the stretcher thing, except he didn't use it. He just willingly walked away from the match. If you're not incapacitated and being stretchered off, why are you just walking away abandoning the match? Get back in there

they could have said the doctors are forcing him backstage for a medical evaluation. But that's not very babyface-like. As you said, he should push the doctors aside and struggle back in there.

Mankind did it almost 20 years ago so yeah, you'd think they could recycle it now.

Yep, I genuinely answered Maggle out loud at that point of the match. When he was saying something along the lines of "he's refusing to be carried out of here, he's walking on his own" or whatever, I'm suddenly shouting something like "well walk back in the ring you bloody lazy turd".
Got a pretty weird look from the Mrs because I'm not usually vocal about rasslin' lol

 

[RedVest4]

Is it painfully obvious that Daniel Bryan is ready to go (cleared by 3 doctors) but they don't want to bring him back because he'll instantly be more popular than Reigns, which will hurt their grand plans for Reigns even more? Would have been great to see him in the rumble...

It would have been stupid to bring him back in the Rumble if they had no intention of having him win (which they wouldn't, and rightly so). The crowd would have just shit all over it after he was eliminated until the end again.
At least they were engaged until the end this year.

 

[cheesedogg]

Also props to Filthy for calling it that if anyone was going to do what only Flair has done it could only be HHH.

Honestly I don't mind Trips & would have no problem in him having another run if the situation called for it as he is still in decent enough shape & able to perform at that level, my problem (yet again) is that the main event at WM is now set in stone (yet again) with probably even less chance of any variables for the result this time (no Seth/MITB to add any question or intrigue), just that standard Reigns big moment they've been frothing to have for ages now.
The worst part is really that we are now certain to get a few more months of the exact same storyline we've already been getting for well over a year now & not only that it's still the headline act on the road to Wrestlemania which is when we should be more hyped than ever, not straining through the same crap weve been already watching & sick of for well over a year.
Like I said before, if they've really got their jollies for this rubbish storyline so bad then fine, knock yourselves out. But at least put the title somewhere else for the sake of everybody watching other than Vince.

Yeah felt the same way when Mr Juicy wasn't a surprise entrant in the Rumble. :stern look

There you go shitting on crowds again.
