WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion

[cheesedogg]

Because the crowd on hand "knew" the outcome, and had their minds made up accordingly.

That in itself is exactly the problem.... Everybody "knew" the outcome for months leading up to the match. The main thing Daniel Bryan did wrong was give people a glimmer of hope that this may not actually be the case by declaring himself right for the Rumble. Once he was eliminated it went straight back to that status quo everyone was aware of and did not want.

How exactly is this WWE's fault though, that the fans are so "smart" and "knew"? They never announced ahead of time, or really gave Reigns particularly golden booking in the weeks leading up to the Rumble. It was only rumour, speculation and assumptions that made it such a "certainty".

Yep, you're right. The whole 'Superstar of the year' shenanigans must be all my fault.

I'm sorry guys, I'll try not to be so much of a fan in the future.

Apology not accepted.

You're banned from this board! You, and your children, and your children's children!

For 3 months!

So giving him some kayfabe award meant he was a certainty to win the Rumble? Ok.

Only gifting him their biggest kayfabe award after missing more months of action than he has had singles matches... But yeah, by all means water it down to suit your argument.

Maybe I'm way off, but I genuinely didn't realise anyone actually gave a shit about the Slammys, or took them seriously as anything more than a story-driving device on the night and the episodes surrounding.

Again, people "knew" Reigns was winning the Rumble long before that, too.

Pretty much the same feeling as Roman Reigns I imagine.

They do. We don't

So if you don't care, why does it matter so much?

 

[Millky95]

I only skim over WWE results, events and things and had Reigns as my 1 of 3 to win the rumble (Bryan, Reigns and Bray). Wanted Ambrose though.

Reigns was getting a push through the Authority angle which is all good, but the storyline took over the Rumble, which is my issue with it.

 

[cheesedogg]

Because the emphasis and regard that they put on the slammy's and on him collaborated. Nothing to do with how I think/feel.

 

[TradeDraft]

The part about him only being booed just because Bryan didn't win is BS though.

It doesn't explain why he was booed when he entered or when he was shown on the screen before the Rumble match.

Because everyone knew he was Going to Win the Rumble

Not going bother starting a thread anybody heard the Benoit rumours lately?

[BEEG]

I had a mate send me a screen shot not good quality it talks about he spoke to Chavo before the death and he said someone was at the door and he had to go

I will try to find the link

Thanks - I am interested about it.

Saying it was a Break-In?

How did that Poster get that Info?

 

[JordanWCE]

Put on your tinfoil hats.

I still see people mention Kevin Sullivan was behind it all.

 

[TradeDraft]

Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero and Brian Pillman all died the night before they were set to win title belt

Never Heard that those 3 where going to become WWE Champion in the Next Show.

That True or BS?

 

[JordanWCE]

Not true about Eddie, Stephanie came out and said in an interview that he was never going to go over Batista.

 

[timtamWB]

Pillman was scheduled to wrestle Dude Love the next day, not for the title. Benoit was going to be the ECW champion. Guerrero was going to be the world champion.

So 2/3.

Sounds like bullshit

He was tagged by someone on Facebook I don't have FB so looked for it on Google

"I'd kill myself too if Kevin Sullivan murdered my family"

None of them were going to become WWE champ. Eddie was supposed to become WHC. Benoit would have been ECW champion. Pillman would have been Intercontinental champ
