I think what bothers me is that Batista was really boring in there. Never mind that he hasn't done anything in four years, he didn't do anything in the Rumble that made people want him to win. Even Sheamus put on a much better show. Reigns and Rollins were awesome.

Speaking of predictable, I never expected Punk or Bryan to win. They don't want either of those two going against Cena. As long as Cena is at the top, they'll keep those guys down the list. They know Cena would get booed out of the building. Heck, Reigns would probably have been the crowd favorite against Cena or Orton.

The one thing I have to keep reminding myself is that the WWE now isn't about what the audience wants, it's about what Vince wants. You'd think those two things would be the same but it's become obvious that they are not.

For all the storyline talk of 'good for business', it's clear Vince, HHH, and all of the other writers don't have the faintest clue what's best for business.  The general Consensus has been "PAy wrestlers of yesteryear millions of dollars to come in and save our failing show rather than building up-and-comers to Main event status."  

Instead, we get Batista, ORton, and Cena at the top of the heap.  WE saw that already, nine years ago!  Undertaker, Brock LEsnar, The Rock, and talk of Sting and Hogan returning at Wrestlemania, and...jesus guys, you are so pointedly trying your damndest to ensure the people don't get what they want.  

WE want bryan.  We want CM Punk.  We Want Ziggler. I don't give a fly's regurgitated puke about how pissed off Randy is because Ziggler said he could beat him in a real street fight in some interview last summer.  you know who gets the biggest pops of the last year?  CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, and Dolph Ziggler after wrestlemania.  Seriously.  

Seriously!  

I don't like breaking out the R-word, but you'd have to be pants-on-head RETARDED to be a writer on WWE's creative team. 

FUUUUUUCK!

Yeah saw this lol

 

Like in the last couple of PPVs - bad matches except for ONE.

Kinda feel sorry for those who buy these PPVs off of TV Distributors - that is a lot of cash wasted on horrible writing and directing.

That's $54.99 I'll never see again... :(

im contemplating if I should even buy WM...

Orton/Batista

Cena/Wyatt

HHH/Punk

shield match

(Based on Speculation)

I was on that stream from earlier posting with some great guys. My favorite moment was when Khali was coming out and I said Khali won't last 30 seconds and he lasted about 31. I said "He lasted much longer than I expected" and got a few Lols from the other viewers.

Like I think I said earlier, the PPV was solid. They just ruined it by picking Batista at the end which, in turn, will have a tremendous effect on my enjoyment of Wrestlemania. The Cena/Orton match was boring and the Lesnar/Big Show match went about as good as can be expected with those two (Lesnar is fun to watch but he can't carry a match). Should have had more surprises during the Rumble, too. Still, I was entertained for the full duration of the PPV aside from the paint by numbers Championship match.

i feel bad for Rey he did nothing wrong and got booed even when he got eliminated i hate todays fans imo


I do too. It was inevitable, though - whomever came out last was going to be a scapegoat of the crowd's contention, unless that last one was Bryan.

Christ........ that rumble PPV was just simply god awful.

Think i'm starting to go off wrestling again. (went off it like '93 to '98, then '04 to '10)

Oh well, at least i have Steve Austin's and Chris Jericho's HONEST podcasts to look forward to 3 times a week.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why Piracy exists.  I'm very, VERY glad I don't spend a dime on this shit.  

Also, your schedule looks a lot like mine did.  Was into it in the late 80's/early 90s, then came back in 98 and watched through to 2004, then came back in 2011 till now.  

Royal Rumble is my favorite match of the year, at what is possibly my favorite PPV of the year.  What a terrible disappointment.

Everyone knew Batista would win

And that's the problem.  Everyone knew it.  IT was written on the wall for ages leading up to it, Then all the dirt sheets said the plan was him going for the title at wrestlemania.  

PRedictable is fuuuuucking booooooring!  

Reigns winning would have been MUCH better. 

Honestly, and it was so predictable that Cena would lose and that Orton would have a dirty win.
