No they really are, Vince would never believe that Bryan is capable of defeating the supposed beast that is Brock, even with everyone hoping for the David and Goliath story.

If Vince is still the bottom line on shot calling, he needs to be removed from that position ASAP. This Rumble has absolutely sh!t on EVERY fan, the only saving grace was the triple threat and one decent match is never enough to save a PPV.

No interest in Mania at all now. That's a first for me. I suppose all you need to do is look at the absolute STATE of Raw for the last few months to see that they have no idea anymore. Not a clue.

I actually thought they'd be smarter than this.

The triple threat match was enjoyable carnage; I popped big for Bubba Ray's return; but it was all downhill from there.

I think that was the worst Royal Rumble match I've seen. All through it I kept thinking, 'shocking lack of star power' when I saw the names coming out. Towards the end I kept waiting for Orton or Sheamus or even an NXT guy, but no. The manner of the eliminations was really weak as well. The Ambrose and Ziggler eliminations were pathetic. Even Kofi's big spot this year was quite lazy.

Just a poorly booked mess and the wrong guy won. I'm not even a Roman Reigns critic but this show had me flipping him off at the end and he became the biggest heel in the industry for me. As Jim Cornette would say, f*ck this company. Not even Rock at the end could save this train wreck.

I can only hope Austin has the guts to ask Hunter on his podcast WTF they were thinking.

Thumbs DOWN

This especially they had no star power in it at all and never seemed to really stack the ring at any one time it always just seemed forever full of no hopers until reigns became the inevitable winner

I was less disappointed by the last season of Dexter, that's how bad this was.

Its an awful Rumble when Bubba coming in early was the best part. Sad but true.

The match on the pre show was so much better than the Rumble it's not even funny.

Liam O · 26-01-2015 5:06am

You have the biggest name in the history of your business and one of the biggest in the entire entertainment industry and you don't even use him in the match?

Take out Titus O'Neil and put Ziggler in earlier, Rock comes in at 30 on the year, eliminating everyone bar Reigns and they have a fair match that Reigns wins. Simple and everyone is a lot happier with the same result.

yes. this. it books itself.

like Bryan vs. Punk at WM030 - the match books itself. but no no, the f**king dildo they are using to book matches is a sightless, deaf moron so yeah... Reigns versus Lesnar it is. I'm sure it won't suck balls and I'm sure Reigns won't get boo'd out of the building, again.

Dear god, Reigns is going to get murdered on the mic by Heyman.

It all depends on what the rock is doing right now. If he has to film for a movie over the next month or so there is no way he's going to risk an injury by actually competing in the ring. The idea is nice but what he did tonight was probably all he's allowed do.

Then we have to suffer through Brock on the Mic. Whatever happens it's a terrible Wrestlemania. Will have to become a triple threat

Well then do it with Ambrose, or Bryan, or even Rusev or Wyatt, heck even Zack Ryder. Once Ambrose went out everyone watching knew what was happening and that's disgraceful with 3 left in a Royal Rumble. Not counting Rusev because clearly the WWE weren't either.

Apparently the page to cancel the WWE Network crashed and fans have barricaded the exit to the venue with their cars.

Any link?

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-01-2015 5:20am

I just can't see Lesnar vs Reigns happening. No way. It's like Vinny Mac's dream of Orton vs Batista last year. The fans don't want it and you can't risk allowing the biggest show of the year to be hijacked.

Someone should have had the guts to explain this to Vince who is so out of touch these days it's quite sad. Maybe some did but he's just stubborn.

The way I see it they've got to now do what they did last year and turn Reigns heel, inserting a likeable face in there for a triple threat.

Alternatively they could turn Brock babyface against a heel Reigns but I think that too could be a mess if the fans know Brock's leaving soon.

One option would be to have Rollins announce in advance that his cash-in will go towards being in the Mania main event so you turn it into a triple-threat that way, and perhaps add another guy like Bryan to make it a fatal four-way.

Whatever happens they've now basically written themselves into a corner and probably ruined their great new babyface hope by doing so. The casual fans won't necessarily turn on Reigns but as we all know Mania will be full of die-hards who will.

First ever fatal 4 way main event maybe ? Lesnar v Reigns v Rollins v Bryan ?

Like why not at least have Rollins or j and j screw Bryan tonight to have something else at least coming out of tonight

Realistically after their second biggest event of the year they only have one match set up and even that is not set in stone !!
