Best Rumble Ever (now)

Top 5 rumble right there

Why do they have to interview him after the match... total buzz kill

edit: ok nvm that was fine

prolly AJ

Really great Rumble overall. Best one since 2011 at the very least.

Now when is Braun?

But in all seriousness, congratulations to Nakamura for winning the right to curtain jerk the main show at Wrestlemania

I don't even care if the show ends with an underwhelming Rousey win or Steph pointing at the WrestleMania sign now. Tonight is a fucking win.

NAKAMURA/STYLES AT MANIA FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSS

Right call, WWE. Good job.

:y:

There is no way they put Nakamura/AJ after Reigns/Lesnar, no matter how amazing it will be.

SURPRISE ME WWE

YUUUUUSSSSSSSS

Really hungry... should have got some food before...

Started off pretty poor but picked up pretty dramatically. Could have probably been an all time great if they hadn't cut off big surprises and pops for meaningless heat, but good overall.

Well that was definitely better than last year's Rumble at least. It was also the peak of this show. Why the fuck are there still 3 matches?

No pyro you cheap bastards

What did that money go toward the XFL uniforms?

NAKAMURA!

Four Irish Car Bombs into this shit.

Woooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steph dressed to compete

Even though I was slightly annoyed that the Rumble was so early , that was the best Rumble I've seen in a long time.

I can't believe they recorded this KFC thing before this show went on the air. It's why there were massive unprompted RUSEV DAY chants and why they had blue ropes (to not clash with the white KFC outfits) for the first pre-show match

You had no idea how right you were.

If Flairs last match is a "KFC Rumble".....lol

Ric Flair saved this from being shitty

LOL Colonel Flair. :lol:

Oh and I nearly woke up my wife and children by screaming.

Yep what did I say

That was mainly booked for the final 6. Really good last 20-25 minutes or so.

I assume Seth is going to spend 20 seconds in the ring in this match after being in the Rumble for quite a while.

90% of this match is going to be JJ/Sheamus.

Yes yes yes yes yes he did it

Only real sore spot for me was the several Reigns-Cena moments since they were terrible. Get that WWE desperately wants to make crowds see Reigns and Cena as equals in terms of mega stars but crowds are tired of both hogging the focus.

2011 Rumble had the Cena and Hornswoggle moment of them eliminating most of the New Nexus and maybe the Corre as well but had a really amazing ending and the 40 guys.

Col. Sanders approves.

Anyway, for me....that was the best Rumble since 2004. 2004 is swept under the rug by WWE for obvious reasons and it's totally understandable why, but that was the last Rumble I've watched that I thought was just perfectly booked from beginning to end.

What a match. Made an even better surprise because I assumed the worst with them not closing the show with it.

I'll have to admit, there was part of me that wanted to see how bad things would have gotten if Roman did win. Imagine a Roman win & an Eagles loss next week.... yikes!?!

Also, glad they brought Rey out BEFORE Roman cause this time, Rey actually was cheered! lol

Triple A's eyes are probably glued to the TV

Heard Jason might be slightly injured.

Announcers fighting

People were way more worried about Reigns winning than they should have been. Years of the more "shocking" choice winning the rumble when there's 2 titles anyway should tell people WWE's mindset going in.

Fred gives negative shits about this match.

If the Rumble was closing I'd have agreed. I don't think Vince would've closed the show with him winning in front of a Philly crowd again.

But since they had it on the middle of the show and could've had Asuka come out #1 and wreck shit for an hour to close the show, I thought they'd roll with Reigns

They did things to make me think "Wait... WILL they actually go with Reigns!?" So good job there. But in the end, this tends to be the pattern. Everything for WrestleMania is still exactly as planned. I don't think Vince really gives enough of a fuck about the result of the rumble so... give the people the result they want.

I was hoping against hope for Bryan at #30 and the place just going insane. Or even Taker at #30 for a similar effect.

This match is going to go longer than the Rumble.

Turn on him jordan

Seth Rollins is a god damn trooper, though. Spending quite a bit in the Rumble and then basically wrestling that whole match, which I wasn't clocking but I believe went roughly two hours.

Hopefully the lesnar match is up next so i can get to bed, honestly couldn't give 2 flying fucks about this 30 washing machines match.

With how injured Jordan's back is, they really should have pulled this match off the card. Between Jordan's health and crowd being exhausted, should have just run several hype videos to act as the cool down for the Universal title match instead.

BRAUN OR RIOT

K. Cool match. When's the rumble? O.

They make sandwiches too

How big are the cheers gonna be when Paul Heyman walks through that curtain shortly?

Death toll better hit 45 in this match.

The god damn better otherwise they get the belt. :mad:

And i'm not talking about a title belt either.

Seems obvious Kane is here to take the fall but WWE's need to go "shock value" over what's logical makes me think they might go SWERVE and have Braun take the fall.

Interesting choice prefacing Kane's music with a fart.

funny posts dude

lets go kane

A fake pyro effect, cheap bastards!

True Kane could be the only person to win ECW, WHC, WWE, and Universal champion.

Hopefully Brock drops the belt tonight but I doubt it

WELL...HERE COMES THE PAIN, COLE! [/Tazz]

Maybe its just the gear but Kane looks a lot fatter than usual.

He's held it for 301 days and had how many matches? Remember the old 30 day defence rule back in the days of yore?

Is this Kanes retirement match I hope so

I don't think the crowd has it in them at this point. They just sat through a Royal Rumble match in the middle of the card. lol

Did Brock get pyro I was on the phone and missed the entrances

Was Braun's pop large

I believe the kids these days would refer to him as "thicccc"

Nope.

Serious questien:

When the last time Brock Lesnar cut a promo or even said anything into the mic in wwe

damn @ no pyro

Did Braun get a huge pop?

Brock is terrifying when he getas wide eyed and smiles like a roided up Bob Baclund

Lesnar eliminated from royal rumble

Bah gawd he punched a chair, like they've never seen that before. :roll:

did they actual "reinforce the ring" for this match

If they did they forgot to mention it 35 times to this point.

If I were at this show, I'd be getting drunk off my ass about halfway through that rumble to prepare myself to get rowdy as fuck during the rest of the sow. For the sake of the home viewer.

I don't think Braun even needs a belt

Every time I hear "there are no disqualifications in a triple threat match!" I'm reminded of the old SVR games where clobbering someone with a chair in a triple threat match just resulted in an awkward no contest.

Id probably be pissing in a bottle and flinging it at the ring.

brawn Stroman's choke slam sucks compared to kane's

I'm glad this is no dq but when did that happen

yess Braunnn

nice push kane

If Braun wins, even an hour of Stephanie on commentary cannot ruin this show.

Does kane hold a sexual assault lawsuit over Vince's head or something

lol Oh, Cole.

Kanes sucks compared to this:

Now THATS a chokeslam, not this 2 foot hop shit they do these days.

This is no Brock Lesnar vs Bob Holly championship match.

I'm actually curious how you have a WWE-style triple threat match that ISN'T no DQ. Like... one guy gets counted out or DQed. Okay? So who wins?

ouch

That's going to leave a welt on Braun's face

Not even Braun can redeem this plodfest. Kane is a vacuum of entertainment these days.

Did Braun do that to Brock in the four-way?

Not calling back to that, guys?

We still get an hour of Stephanie McMahon speaking to come. Just realized that. lol

LOL need more announce tables
