Royal Rumble (2016)

[TradeDraft]

My ideal Rumble into Mania booking scenario is:
- Someone other than Reigns or Triple H wins (not just for obvious reasons)

- Whoever wins goes onto feud with someone other than Reigns or Triple H into WM. Lesnar vs the Wyatts, for example.

- Reigns realises that the only way he's going to win and keep the title is if he can get rid of the authority for good.

- This eventually leads to Reigns vs Triple H at WM. McMahons and maybe some lackeys in Triple H's corner. The Rock in Reigns corner.

- Reigns wins and the Authority is gone forever. Triple H wins and Reigns is FIIIIIRRRRREEEEEDDDDD!!! Obviously the Rock's cousin wins.

Sure, Reigns vs Triple H at Mania might be average but it will lead to the end of the authority which has been much needed for ages. No one wants to see half of the show dedicated to Reigns and McMahon family promos. Also I'm sick of Triple H and Steph constantly switching between face and heel depending on what promotion they're talking about. Make Triple H a full time face and continue his role as NXT's daddy.

Then maybe we can bring back general managers and hopefully give Raw and Smackdown some sort of direction. Who they are doesn't really matter. One face and one heel? Maybe it leads to another brand split. I don't know.

Reigns will be in the Main Event of WM 32 so he will be Involved in TItle Feud leading up to WM32

I rather HHH vs Reigns at Fast Lane where the Reigns has to win to be the Number 1 Contender for Title

At least wrestling spoilers are a lot easier to avoid than footy scores.

Be careful of Google Cards. It can bring up a spoiler head line every now and again and put it straight on your mobile/tablet home screen.

176/224.
Been years since I've watched any rumble pre-95 so could barely remember anything other than the winners.
Forgot the stupid spelling of one person. Also it didn't accept Titus O'Neil [emoji14]

They could still main event in my scenario, without the title on the line.

I just want the Authority gone. It's beyond stupid (even for wrestling) and it's one of the main reasons Raw has generally been poor.

I just want the Authority gone. It's beyond stupid (even for wrestling) and it's a big reason why Raw has been so poor.

Authority figures are fine. But having them as the main heels in the main storyline is poor writing.

I think the problem is that they are trying to make Reigns vs. the Authority into another McMahon/Austin feud. It's just stale at this point.

we just need to (somehow) go back to a Jack Tunney authority figure to relay the major decisions. We've had the same authority figure angle in its current form for pretty much 20 years!

The WWE app gives me results as they happen for title changes it big matches

Will be staying away from all social media and the Internet love the Rumble.

I can't watch it live but I follow it on here

 

[Millky95]

I'll end up reading the results and trying to find the match somewhere.

Might need to get the app soon

 

[cheesedogg]

Genuinely getting really excited for the Rumble match now. Feels like everything is almost 'too obvious' to happen that I'm kind of expecting something unexpected to happen now.
Plus the Rumble is one of my favourite events of the year despite the state of the product or storylines anyway.

Best thing I ever did 10 bucks and get to see every PPV, nothing better coming home on a Monday after work and watching a PPV spoiler free.

Might miss this month but Mania and the old Attitude Era stuff might be worth it

Crappy quality live stream FTW.

Less stale, more a pathetic copy. Like pretending home brand 1 ply toilet paper is equivalent to Kleenex 3ply.

 

[hench]

I wonder if on GOT or Walking Dead forums the fans shit on the product but still come back the next week and watch it anyway.

That is such a stupid comparison.

People don't complain about a show long before they stop watching. A typical TV series drops in ratings, it gets killed off.

WWE will always have the security TV shows don't.

TV shows don't also sign actors and actresses and force them to be exclusive.

Smh.

I'll speak to you on Monday.

Having them as faces on NXT or anything promotional is even poorer writing.
