    It's sad to see what the Rumble has become over the last years, looking down through the recent list of winners and it's pretty uninspiring
    Orton
    HHH
    Reigns
    Batista
    Cena
    Sheamus

    And Del Rio. Really it's not as important with 2 world titles. I figure someone from Smackdown will win it because Raw has the chamber ppv next month no other reason. Probably Nakamura as they've built up nobody for the match so I guess he makes more sense than Orton (not including Owens & Zayn) :/

    Well I think you're typical of the average Reigns hater, allowing emotion cloud your judgement. I've been critical of WWE many times when I feel it's been warranted. Pushing a guy who moves all the right numbers and looks and works like a top guy is a logical move on their part. How do you explain The Shield reunion being over when he got involved? If he was such a turn-off shouldn't crowds have rejected him since they already had Ambrose and Rollins prior to him being added? Also using your logic that getting booed in arenas is not over then that means John Cena is not over.

    The Shield is over as a 3 man unit, when there on there own or in different pairs the reaction is not the same, as i said its the 3 man unit that's over. The reaction Reigns gets its totally different to Cena. Yes Cena gets booed but he still has fans respect because of his history of great matches. There is genuine hostility towards Reigns that wasn't and isn't there for Cena because Reigns is being forced down our throats where as Cena's rise was more organic.

    Hang tough. You never know. She has been very obvious on social media showing she is filming a movie which maybe means she is trying to throw people off. It may happen

    I wonder if Owens is an asshole in real life? He seems almost too perfect at it!

    Was thinking the same, she could just have someone in Columbia tweeting fake pics from her account?

    I say it's still a smart bet. What will you win if you're correct?

There is genuine hostility towards Reigns that wasn't and isn't there for Cena because Reigns is being forced down our throats where as Cena's rise was more organic.

    You're missing the point: the fans had Ambrose and Rollins prior to the reunion. If they hate Reigns as much as you make out, they would have booed the reunion because he was the necessary final piece of the jigsaw, and it was obvious to the smart fans that this was an attempt to get Reigns better reactions. Yet the fans wanted the reunion and backed the trio - except whenever it was time for Reigns to have solo mic time when they booed him. It's a shtick, man. And Cena was getting the exact same reaction 12 years ago. Look at the match with Hunter in the Mania main event. "More organic" is basically fan speak for "was a heel first". It is true Reigns never got a big heel run like most of his predecessors but that's hardly his fault. He doesn't book the shows. Bottom line is the die-hard, heel-loving hardcores will almost always turn on the company's top babyface, as history shows.

    Exactly what I thought. Especially with Steph ringside "outraged" if she were to win

    I wouldn't put Ziggler in that category. No idea though, maybe Rovert Mann?

    To be fair I’d take anything Big Dave says with a huge pinch of salt.
