Royal Rumble (2016)

[TradeDraft]

None of Roman's ugly gob in the way. Wish they captured the pop when Phenomenal is slowly introduced on the tron.

WWE would not Ignore Reigns but that Video is Fantastic

 

[CasuallyDressed]

I lost interest after Brock's elimination because it was obvious what would happen.

I ****ing love the Brock/Wyatt feud though.

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Okay so here I go:

The Last Man Standing was a fun PG era hardcore match. The spots seemed a little forced at times and there wasn't alot of emotion in the match because the feud doesn't really have any heat behind it but it was okay to start the show.

New Day aren't as funny as they were a year ago, already forgotten what happened in the match or who won so probably not a good sign.

US title - I thought Kalisto was champion before the match? Oh well, it seemed to be okay.

Divas were pretty good, I'm starting to (slowly) care about the women's title. Good move to keep it on Charlotte, gotta give the title some legitimacy with a long title reign.

And now...

**** Triple H and **** the fans for not booing Triple H to the level Batista was booed and Roman Reigns was booed the year before. This man is far worse than John Cena and nobody seems to care. He will not ever go away. He is such a predictable wrestler and has absolutely no appeal at this point. How can people complain about Roman being forced down our throats when Triple H has had a half an hour match every year since Wrestlemania 18? Roman Reigns should not be forced into this shitty Authority angle. It sucked when Bryan did it, it sucked when John Cena did it, it sucked when the Stringer did it. Nobody cares about the Authority, they never did and they never will.

It's amazing how people consistently put up with Triple H. Wasn't his match with Taker 5 years ago an 'end of an era' match? Then why the hell are they both getting half an hour matches at mania this year? He is a boring stale character who comes up with horrible stories and yet people think he will improve the WWE when he takes over the business!?

This will outstink the last two wrestlemanias and may even be worse than Wrestlemania 27. I've never stopped watching during Wrestlemania season but I've got to say I'm pretty close right now.

Aside from the ending that you could pick out four weeks ago I thought the match was fun. I would've liked some more novelty surprise returns but other than that it was fine. I thought the Wyatt's did really well and thought Roman played to the crowd nicely. But yeah **** The Game.

Nawwww.

 

[Golden_6]

Quite annoyed. Was enjoying the whole thing until the last 5 mins. As soon as the Wyatts started being eliminated I knew it was in trouble.

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

I will tweet my displeasure God Dammit!!

It been Obvious when Reigns Bashed up HHH at TLC

The Reaction Video's on Youtube of Styles Debuting are Amazing

I was hoping the Reigns/HHH feud would be away from the title. I might half enjoy it that way.

That was never going to Happen with Reigns winning the Title the Next Night

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

 

[hench]

Just finished watching.

What a crock of shit.

On that scale, your max marks must be 20, because that's the only way I can explain the IC match to you

Doctor Colossus, Rusev explains why he took the TV monitor

 

[NitroFan]

So who wants my wrestlemania ticket?

 

[eddiesmith]

Now I've calmed down, that was an annoying show. Other than my very shitty attempt at tipping the show, it was just all wrong.

Its annoying that they keep going down the path of putting a no hoper in the final 2 most years so you already know who has won, if it was any 2 of Reigns, HHH, Wyatt or Lesnar then at least there would be some interest but there was no way Dean Ambrose was going to win the title.

But HHH winning just makes no sense, as already mentioned, why does anyone think he is going to save the WWE? Why is it a belief that Vince is shoving HHH down our throats and he doesn't want to be out there winning everything? Do people really believe him when he says he didn't want to beat Sting? That he didn't want to main event WM 18? Will everyone now think he didn't want to win the title?

This shocking attempt to make this Austin v McMahon from 1999 is so forced and boring, people loved Austin and he built up strongly. Daniel Bryan was fine in the role as everyone got behind him. Reigns we just don't give a shit about, instead of people wanting him to overcome the odds, we have him being shoved down our throats and given every push imaginable and at some stages he has got a few more fans, but overall no one wants it. Now we all know the outcome of Mania 2 months out, boring!

Last year we all knew the outcome, but there was some faint hope in Seth Rollins and thankfully at the last minute that faint hope came through and saved Mania, there is none this year all because he is Rocks cousin and they all got upset he didn't get his Mania moment last year. The main event will be booed out of the stadium. Their only hope was if they had a massive main event to keep people around, but with Cena injured that isn't happening, there may genuinely be a walk out of Mania, would be ****ing hilarious!

Nah. I thought it was possible that they might have taken the title out of Triple H/Reigns feud.

I always knew it was the likely outcome... was hoping they might actually try something new for once.

 

[Captain Harley]

Now I've calmed down, that was an annoying show.

there may genuinely be a walk out of Mania, would be ******* hilarious!

If I was VKM at the end of the last match of the night, I'm pretty happy for my fans to be walking out of the arena- given that the shows over.

for free?

 

[Mitho]

I think the whole show was ****ing great. Each time someone I the fans cared about was eliminated, it was by someone else they cared about, then a new underdog came in. Best rumble match in years.

Now if only Roman can buzz off I'll take Haitch v Wyatt or Owens or Ambrose now pls.

 

[Billy Bob65]

Anyone know why the WWE advertise the PPVs as $55 through US cable companies?

Have never seen a PPV in Australia that expensive (outside of maybe one or two boxing main events). Where are they pulling that number from, didn't PPVs in the US used to be super cheap?

No idea whether they used to be super cheap but that number is accurate and has certainly been in that vicinity for at least 5 or so years now. As far as I know each cable provider in the pre-network days negotiated their own deal with WWE and could add in their own profit margin element as well as recouping things like relay costs - so for starters unlike with Foxtel in Oz there wouldn't be one standard price for the same PPV across the country.

I can't speak to normal PPVs but Mania certainly moved to a minimum of $40 in the US fairly shortly after they moved to 4 hours whereas we still only paid $30 for it here. From pre-network PPV blogs on PWInsider I've also gleaned that at least some cable providers there offer 2 different versions of the PPV - a SD or HD version - with the HD version costing an additional $10-15 vs. the SD version.

Some boxing events cost $80-100 in the US.

So they should Fire Reigns because the Internet Fans have are Sooking over him.

Reigns will 100% leave WM32 as WWE Champion

 

[Zach Package]

In.

And 20 seconds in and Vince has already f***ed it.
