The Royal Rumble has always been my favorite PPV but tonight was just pure garbage. The crowd could care less about the Cena/Orton match. Bryan/YES/Boring/Cena sucks chants throughout. Including "We want refunds". And this is before the rumble match. Around the 20th entrant crowd starts chanting for Bryan. Batista comes out to boos, Punk gets eliminated in lame fashion. Rey Mysterio of all people is #30 and he gets booed out of the building. No one wanted to see Batista win, Roman Reigns was even getting support before he was eliminated.
Everyone wants to see Bryan, no matter how much they try to bury him. He did have a good match with Wyatt, and even though he lost it made sense. They are trying to build Bray for his feud with Cena, where he will then be buried. Just shows how much control HHH has now. New Age Outlaws winning the tag titles is cool from a nostalgic standpoint but I don't see where it's going. Kevin Nash as a surprise entrant was cool, but it was done 3 years ago. Orton/Batista likely main event at WrestleMania, barring WWE changing it up after the universally negative reaction to tonight. All Triple H's guys. And he's also likely to book himself over Punk at Mania since Punks likely out the door come summer time.
Haven't been this upset after a PPV since I was a kid.
@smitty I knew it all along
Couldn't agree more with this post WWE as a product is a complete joke. Bryan is put in the first match of the night the crowd started off mental and electric. He lost to Wyatt which is okay as it serves a purpose, as the rumble dragged on with the Bryan chants kept building especially climaxing at the #30 spot this would have been the ideal part for Bryan to serve his purpose. Out comes Rey to huge boo's, the only cheer he got was when he was eliminated. Punk getting eliminated the way he was is too stupid. One of the biggest heels getting cheered over the Rumble winner shows how out of touch wwe is with their own audience.
Will WWE learn? No apparently it knows whats best for business. This is the first Rumble which has truly annoyed me, I always look forward to the Rumble probably more then wrestlemania.
