I wonder if this all ends in Mysterio/Del Rio again and Mysterio finally gets a big win over Del Rio.

Ziggler/Edge was pretty great, marked for the Edgacation.

Orton/Miz was pretty meh. So what I expected.

Didn't give a shit about the Diva's match, though like many I expected Kong.

The Rumble match was a mixed bag, but in the end I did love it. The first ten entrants with Punk, Daniel Bryan, Regal and Morrison was fucking awesome. Loved Morrison's save spot. Always wanted to see that happen, but figured it would be RVD.

I actually liked how Nexus took over the Rumble for a bit. Could have used a Punk promo while the rest of Nexus eliminated guys, but I guess it's best not to emulate last year. I just wish they'd have had the Corre showdown instead of Super Cena saving the day and getting rid of Nexus.

The Hornswoggle shit made me sick. Tyson Kidd and ESPECIALLY Slater taking those kinds of moves from him just completely buries them in my eyes. While I don't think either one was going to go far, Slater is apart of a major angle right now with Corre.

I get why they did it, but I felt like the Ziggler entrance and elimination didn't do anything for him. They barely even mentioned his elimination or entrance. He was kind of just... There. I hope they continue his push.

Diesel returning was awesome.

The Santino thing was... Interesting. Have a big problem with someone like Del Rio selling the Cobra.

Del Rio winning didn't surprise me in the least and I had no problems with it. I hope he continues to make an impact.

Del Rio is about an entertaining as a pile of Mexican donkey shit.

He can't work the mic. Not even a little bit.

Stop being a dick. You like the Goon and I like Del Rio.

James Steele 01-31-2011 01:12 AM

I still can't believe how over Diesel was. How dare I ever doubt Kevin Nash and The Kliq.

Orton vs. Punk should be great. It would be cool if Punk "picked his spot" to reverse the roles on Orton a few years later. Legacy costed Punk his Championship when Punk was a loner, but now Nexus costs Orton the Championship when Orton is the loner. Could make for some great storytelling :y:

I loved the show tonight. It was pretty much perfect, IMO.

No, I like the pure concept of the Goon gimmick. It was executed horribly, and the performer just wasn't very good.

Also, Del Rio would bore the color beige.

Xero 01-31-2011 01:14 AM

How anyone can say Del Rio "can't work the mic" is absolutely astounding to me.

Except it's a troll post, so it's not.

James Steele 01-31-2011 01:14 AM

Juan, I agree with you that Alberto Del Rio is good but to already win the Rumble and headline Mania is a bit much in 6 months. I think he ends up dropping it to Christian to set up Edge/Christian and goes on to face Rey Mysterio.

BizarroKing 01-31-2011 01:14 AM

For the record, the comments I made about the game were sarcastic...I'm just majorly disappointed that he didn't show up in some form tonight.

Because now how are they going to bring him back. It needs to be something big.

i really did love the ovation for chavo when he finally hit the 3 amigos, then did that little dance..was a feel good moment..i had chills, honest

James Steele 01-31-2011 01:17 AM

Kevin Nash is going to turn that pop into a world title push on RAW.

To be entirely honest, The Rumble winner doesn't have NEARLY as much importance right now than it ever did, with Chamber and two title matches. There is nothing wrong with Del Rio going on to face Edge (example) in a world title match, because it wouldn't be the main event of WrestleMania.

Del Rio could not draw in a main event spot, but in this instance he doesn't have to because he won't have the main event spot.

Show me an inspiring Del Rio promo, please. Specifically, show me anything he said leading toward the Rumble that effectively made you care about the upcoming event more than you already did.

I have yet to see him captivate the live audience, and I've seen virtually all of his TV appearances.

He is horribly monotonous on the mic, and has never said anything interesting or original.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-31-2011 01:18 AM

Hope they do something with the Santino second place. Like give him a spot in the chamber, but he has to decent the tag titles before t, Nexus take him out and Booker/Diesel take his place, preferably Booker.

Only downside to the event (bar the divas match) for me was the lack of everyones face backstage lurker Michael Tarver.

Nowhere Man 01-31-2011 01:18 AM

Overall, it was an amazing first half of the Rumble. The surprise returns from Booker and Nash were great, and I can't help but be amused by the fact that the biggest pops of the night were for two guys that haven't been main eventers in years, and the big Cena/Orton staredown was met with dead silence.

I'm a little miffed that Punk got taken out halfway through the match, as I was really hoping that they'd have the leaders of the Nexus and the Corre go at it. But alas, Cena needed to clear the ring for that agonizing comedy bit with Hornswoggle.

And honestly, I know everyone on TPDub has a big hard-on for Del Rio, but I don't get it. He's pretty good on the mic, but he's no Jericho or Christian. He's pretty good in the ring, but he's no Bryan or Punk. In a company with guys who are genuinely great at one thing or another, there's so much hype and excitement for a guy who's just pretty good.

he also got out cheered by someone who is supposed to be a big heel. seriously, that almost rivaled the "lets go Cena, CENA SUCKS!" im still not getting this whole daniel bryan craze..and when is he gonna defend that belt? did the WWE just forget that he was the US champ?

#BROKEN Hasney 01-31-2011 01:19 AM

Gonna make WM my second ever PPV purchase. Show WWE some love for a Del Rio title match :love:

I'm sure whatever is dug up and posted is gonna change your mind.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-31-2011 01:21 AM

If it happens. People always react so quickly with disgust, they forget it's 2 months to WM and anything can happen. Del Rio might lose his spot yet.

NoJabbaNoBogRoll 01-31-2011 01:23 AM

You guys are making me glad I rarely visit the wrestling forum.

Is there something in the water?

James Steele 01-31-2011 01:24 AM

Del Rio will probably have the most absurd over the top entrance at WrestleMania though.

Remember the days when the winner of the Rumble actually *did* go on to main event WM, as advertised? Not the case anymore, clearly.

Lock Jaw 01-31-2011 01:24 AM

Loved the beginning of the Rumble. Loved the New Nexus taking control... but then it went on for far too long before they brought Cena out. Kind of killed the momentum. Should have had Punk of the mic like last year. Then Cena and Hornswoggle buried the momentum completely.

By the end, it was exhumed and I liked the ending.

Edge/Ziggler was a pretty great match earlier in the night too.

He still got a decent reaction. I was just laughing because Gertner claimed jTG was more over than DB

Your cynicism is noted, but basically ineffective.

Just saying "this guy is over" or "this guy is awesome" doesn't cut it. If you can't show me why, then it's simply not. Explain to me why you declare his greatness, or cut the crap. So far, I'm not impressed.

Tb1 01-31-2011 01:26 AM

Del Rio is tremendous. It's clear that he's a natural on the mic, though he hasn't been booked to play anything but the egotistical son of a bitch. Clearly he could accomplish a fantastic promo if given the opportunity.

LuigiD 01-31-2011 01:26 AM

I had not been so pumped for a PPV in a long time.
That was fucking bad ass. The Rumble was pretty good minus Hornswoggle, Cena, Punk and what not. Marked out hardcore beyond belief for Diesel. I have liked Del Rio since day 1 and hope he gets pushed to the fucking moon.

Juan 01-31-2011 01:27 AM

He's awesome because it's my opinion that he's awesome. I dunno why that is so hard to understand or why it means I'm stupid or something as Jabba seems to think.
