1. I agree, people need to get over DB not winning.
2. People do NOT have to get over the horrible booking of the Rumble match.
On point 1. DB is over. He is massively over if you listen to certain crowds. He beat HHH, Orton, and Batista in one night, and had a huge moment at the end of last year's wrestlemania. He does not need another big moment like that. If he can't make it at this point, they have done all they can for him. With that said, he should definitely be champion again, but he does not need to win at WM again. It's overkill. Let someone else get the boost from Lesnar. I would LOVE to see DB vs Lesnar. It would be a great match. But booking a great match is less important than booking a good match that will make someone a star.
2. The problem with the RUmble was the booking. A. Why eliminate Bryan that way, that early? It was either a "fuck you" to the fans, or, as reported, they did it that way hoping the crowd would cool off by the end. The problem is, the end fucking sucked. In order of most to least, the RR winners could have been Reigns, DB, Ziggler, Ambrose, Wyatt. Imagine how fucking amazing it would have been, and how the crowd would have reacted if the final three were DB, Reigns, and ZIggler, and they got like 5 minutes on their own with several near eliminations, only for Reigns to come out on top...
Instead, we got Kane and the BIg SHow, who we all know had no chance of winning, making Ziggler, Wyatt, and Ambrose look like complete chumps. Furthermore, the only reason Reigns got them eliminated was because they fucked up and fought each other... They didn't even make Reigns look strong, and they've spent the past several weeks trying to make him look strong.
The crowd was pissed about DB, but more pissed about how obvious and anti-climatic the Rumble match was.
Reigns winning could have been awesome. Instead they fucked it up and had two "old stars" basically make all the new guys look shitty.
So yeah, people need to get over DB not winning. It isn't the end of the world... But fuck did they miss an opportunity with that match.
