that was an awful rumble. great triple threat championship match though...that was pretty epic for a pg era match.

No reason for The Rock to come out and steal Reigns thunder.

I don't know who watched the post game interview with Rock and Reigns, but when Tom asked him what he thinks about the upcoming match vs Lesnar and Reigns replied with something along the lines of...I'm all bloodied and have to go to the trainers first and then I have to look at tape....Don't you want him to be more aggressive and say he's ready to fight lesnar right now or any time any place he'll be ready to throw down. It just made Reigns look like a pussy to me.

I think he was trying save what little thunder he had.

They have to have it where Reings has his own moment(s). There was no reason to have Rock come out.

They should have made him look dominant during the Rumble which they failed miserably to do. Plus no one wanted to see Kane and Big Show be the last few left. That just ruined whatever juice there was towards the end of the rumble.

It's like they're pulling a TNA...

Relying on past stars to push their current product, ignoring the majority of their fans, and dumbing down their product. They've been doing that for years. 

I didn't even think it was possible to ruin a Rumble. Sad thing is, the ending wasn't even the worst part @_@

Rock came out to try to help Reigns look good.

He was getting booed throughout the whole match from the moment his music hit. They did make him look dominant, and they have made him look dominant for the past year. I personally don't have an issue with him, but he's been exposed to predictable and boring booking. He's made to be the next Cena, and the WWE fans aren't buying it because he's just not over. 

I mean like not learning from your mistakes.

Yeah it was the weirdest thing ever. I said to myself before hand that Rumble matches have always been good despite some years I didn't like the winner. But this year the whole thing was just strange. Crowd completely rejected it. I mean on the plus side at least they didn't give the fans false hope, but they made the last couple of people way too predictable. 

Edit: @Gooch: yeah that too

Triple Threat WWE championship match was quite good.

Royal Rumble had more downs than ups, including the ending. I share the sentiment with the people that the match could've been better, and that another wrestler should have won, but I'd love to know what's gonna happen with Roman Reigns now. I actually like the guy, and I feel bad that people relentlessly hate him. He's not as bad as Batista.
