Yes.

No Usos in the Rumble = fail. This Rumble was awful.

Honestly Jay Uso would have been a better pick to win because Del Rio was not what I was expecting to happen.

Nash needed to be eliminated by Wade Barrett after his disgusting comments toward Barrett's wife (not sure if he has one really though.)

Del Rio isn't terrible on the mic, but he hasn't shown "amazing" either.

JBL was amazing.

So I haven't read this thread at all cause I'm on my phone. But I would love for Christian to return and win the title at EC, have Del Rio challenge him to continue that feud, and have Edge claim his rematch to make it a triple threat :drool: I apologize if somethinh similar has already been posted.

You'll have to elaborate on a post as stupid as this one.

I kind of saw Del Rio winning, but only because of the build. I was hoping he wouldn't. They have a lot (A LOT) of time to build to Mania. They are going to have to build Del Rio hard to make me think he deserves to be in the Main Event.

Elimination Chamber should be very interesting with all the characters we have running around currently.

The Rumble did start to drag a bit in the middle, but that's to be expected with such a long match. It can't all be amazing surprises or perfect spots.

I didn't care for how Cena was booked. I have no issues with a main eventer being booked as main eventers. I have a problem with them being booked as superman. Having Cena and Swog do the same thing to a couple of guys that all of Nexus was doing just a bit earlier just doesn't work, regardless of whether it's entertaining or not (I'm of the opinion that it wasn't). It was the same old booking for Cena, where everything is a joke and it all just kind of slides off his back. I don't like that kind of booking. It's counterproductive.

I think they sort of missed out this year on the opportunity to make a star or two with the match. The final four (not counting Santino) was utterly predictable. I really would've liked to see Mason Ryan come in towards the beginning and last almost to the end (perhaps even outlasting Punk, which would've put some nice tension into the new Nexus, but it's probably too early for that sort of thing).

I'm interested to see how they follow up with the Santino thing. And I really hope they do, because otherwise that ending is just bizarre.

In closing, Alex Riley should dive over the top rope more often, because that shit was hot.

I don't have any problem with Cena eliminating the Nexus, I just don't like how easy it looked.

Any vids please??? I missed it b/c i was working on some marketing stuff :( Just some highlights !! Rep involved ;)

I loved this PPV!

Ziggler/Edge was a Royal Rumble classic, and Miz/Orton was really good as well. The womens match was top form for that division and the Rumble was one of the most entertaining ever. I probably enjoyed it more than any Rumble I have ever seen.

This is all you need to see. It's gonna win at least 6 Slammys.

I dunno, none of the nexus guys have proven themselves to be huge threats. It's just their numbers game that is dominant. Booker T and Khali were kicking their asses too. Cena just did the same thing, but knocked them over the top rop in the process. Not a big deal to me.

I knew Booker and Nash were gonna be in the Rumble, but it was still a mark out moment.

Booker T. looked pretty damn good considering he looked like shit the last time I saw him in TNA. Its amazing how Vince's checkbook always brings out the best in people.

Yeah and Nash didn't even blow his quad or anything.

I marked more for Nash's entrance than anything else he did. Looked like he was moving in slow motion.

I hadn't actually seen him in the ring in years tbh

I was just glad to be a part of it.

Regretting this now I'm in work. Energy drink hangover :(

OK after reading this thread, kind of glad I didnt spend the money for the PPV. I'm not a Del Rio fan. We'll see how it plays out for Wrestlemania. Is he really what WWE wants to push from now til April?

Just watched it. Amazing. Marked the fuck out for Diesel. Shocked to see Del Rio win it. I would have marked the fuck out if Santino actually pulled it off.

I'm going on record to say Del Rio will not win the title.

Also, I checked Wikipedia after the PPV and found some of the vandalism on The Royal Rumble article somewhat amusing.

By the way. This is kinda weird but the look on Santinos face as he was setting up the cobra made me mark the fuck out. Like he was going to really win the thing.

Is there any doubt now that people are going to bitch and moan no matter what happens? For YEARS the IWC has been complaining about the established stars winning Rumble after Rumble after Rumble. For YEARS the IWC has been complaining about WWE not building new stars.

So what does WWE do? They use the Rumble to catapult a new guy into superstardom. And what does the IWC do? They bitch and moan about it.

I really don't understand why 75% of you even watch wrestling when you clearly don't enjoy it.

Totally forgot about Kane by the time the number 40 entry came up. Was positive it was going to be triple h. Just the way they had the camera, and how orton and cena were just sitting there waiting.

Also, I too believed in santino for a second there. Like in those 10 seconds were he came in and hit the cobra, my mind was going through a bazillion scenarios how santino could main event wrestlemania. As soon as he started celebrating, I knew it was over though.

Totally agree with Supreme. I mean, Nexus got me back into watching wrestling because before that wrestling was boring to me, so instead of complaining, I just stopped watching.

There were a couple of issues in that the WWE Title match wasn't amazing (but adequate at the very least) and the middle part with Cena and Horni dragged on a little long (But I refuse to believe you're human if you didn't get a smile from the mini-AA), but it didn't take the shine off a great event, especially a great bit of writing and performance from Santino due to the fact quite a lot of us believed he could actually do it.

If you judge WWE as a season from Mania to Mania, this year has been about building new stars and they have solidified The Miz and Del Rio now as top-level players. Like I said, Nexus got me back into WWE and I would have marked harder if Punk or Barrett picked up the win, but Punk doesn't need it and if rumors are to be trusted, Wade is in for big things at WM anyways.

If WWE wanted to play safe and probably bore me, they could have gone with a Orton-Cena-HHH Raw main event and a Edge/Rey-Taker SD main event. Instead we have something fresh and for me personally, something to look forward to.

My favorite rumbles are the ones where an up and comer wins it.

I do still think Del Rio isn't getting edge 1 on 1, and that Christian will make it a triple threat match.

Think if Christian gets added to the mix, he'll either turn heel or they'll throw another heel in for a fatal-4-way.

I read Booker T was involved last night somehow. What did he do?
