In the middle of a pre-show match they did a trailer for "Oooh order the Royal Rumble" and it had a flash of superstars in it, the third of which was a quick flash to Daniel Bryan. Seemed implicit that he was in the event.
Batista comes back looking like a roided up Jasper Carrot and is a rustier version of a old wrestler. Oh, except he's in royalty because he's got a part in a marvel film that absolutely no-one has heard of or has any affection for. |

I'm kinda on the fence about this, but in the end, I'm glad that Bryan wasn't in the rumble at all. It was a smart move to keep him out if they weren't going to put the strap on him at Mania. Batista winning was a given when the reports of Cena/Wyatt and Batista/Orton at Mania started. I knew either Orton or Cena was going to walk in with the belt, but didn't see Wyatt as a strong Heavyweight championship contender just yet, so Batista was the obvious answer. I kept trying to come up with ways that Bryan could win the Rumble and still get the belt, but outside of a Triple Threat, there really isn't any other way. Bryan/Orton/Batista to me is just a waste of time.
As for the Batista/Orton reaction, I agree with what others said above, the crowd will shit all over it. Therefore, I now believe that if Sting comes in to face Taker, Lesnar SHOULD be added to Batista/Orton to make it a triple threat and WIN. Batista faces Lesnar at Extreme Rules and gets the belt that way. As for Bryan, I unfortunately see it this way.... Bryan Promo: "Something's been bothering me for a long time and that is an 18 second loss to Sheamus at WM 2 years ago. Sheamus, I challenge you to a WM rematch." Bryan then goes to WM and beats Sheamus in 17 seconds and gets the Yes! chant and crowd going before whatever main event they go with. In other words, Bryan's momentum will be just a filler. Triple H & Vince say to Bryan when he comes back from the ring, "Maybe next year, kid." On a side note, I feel really bad for Sheamus, Reigns, Mysterio, and in some cases, Batista. Wasn't their fault that the booking was horrible. |

Also, Batista just looks so fucking weird now for some reason. I don't get it. Like a giant baby.

The Daniel Bryan vs. Bray Wyatt match was stellar.
The Brock vs. Big Show match did what it had to do. The fans shit all over the Cena vs. Orton match because it deserved it. But in hindsight, it was a decent bout. The Rumble was fucking great until the last 3 people. After that the fans started to shit all over it and I started to shit all over it. No one gives a fuck about Batista returning. I hope they save this at Elimination Chamber. Have Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns added to the main event at WM. The fans are sick of fucking Randy and Cena, and Batista. We want new blood. Keep Cena in a feud with the Duck Dynasty. That's the best way to generate ratings amongst the retarded people you crave as your audience. |

I just realized... Jake Roberts could have easily taken that spot JBL took that served no purpose. What the hell, WWE?

I don't know why people are being so ridiculous about Batista winning. We all pretty much knew he was the likely winner. Sure, I would have liked to see Reigns win but Batista winning last night was not the problem. The Rumble match sucked in my opinion. This year probably had the least amount of people that I cared about. And the surprises? Most of them were a waste. The problem was the misuse of Daniel Bryan and not having him in the Rumble match, not that Batista won it. I really enjoyed the altercation between he and Reigns. I'd love to see them have a one on one match.
Shut up. |

This could turn into quite the movement for Daniel Bryan if the WWE play their cards right.

I posted this in another thread as well but...
Excluding Hogan because of his age and abilities at this point, if your name is not Austin or Rock, you should never just be able to come in and get a World title shot or win a match or the Rumble to headline a WM. There is even an exception to this rule and this rule is even more true when you have a phenomenon like Daniel Bryan who is as over as he is and getting the reactions he has been getting. |

My Live Thoughts:
Both NAO and Rhodes Bros were over. Not sure how long NAO will hold on to the titles going into Mania season but I figured would be about the time Goldy and Cody break up in time for a match at Mania coming up. Good match. Nothing could follow Bryan/Bray. What a match. Early match of the year candidate for sure, although by December may be over looked by then. I understood Bray going over as it leads him to be a bigger threat to Cena and how the match played our Bryan was set up strong, especially if he was going to be in the Rumble later. (We will get to all that) Brock/Big Show was what it was. If Show did have a broken hand, it makes sense how it played out. Also explains the reason the first match got so much time. Builds Brock up for Mania, etc but I was bored. Speaking of boring, Cena-Orton. Going into this I had no desire at all to see it for the billionth time and I was delighted that I was joined by LOTS of people who felt the same way. Our crowd, I hope was a message to WWE that we are tired of the same bullshit, although I'm sure was for naught. I found it hilarious they turned all the lights off around the crowd when we were doing the Wave. Chants were pretty amazing. The We want Angle and This is Awful started in my section and I'm glad to have been apart of that. It's not even Cena and Orton. It's the BOOKING of it. Rumble is my favorite match of the year for a reason. I enjoyed it, as many did till the last few mins. I knew as soon as we got to about 27 there was no chance at Bryan coming out as they aired a Pre video with Big E, Rey, etc, before the match even started. I knew there was going to be a lot of pissed off people. Batista looked slow and old in the ring quite frankly and if WWE thought the reaction was bad for Cena/Orton, wait till you get an even smarkier crowd at Mania for Batista/Orton. Batista came off as a dick as he left after the PPV, as I'm sure he was annoyed by the response, but there is no reason to respond to a fan like that and to pretty much mock an entire crowd after that. Came off pretty unprofessional. Overall, I don't see Pittsburgh getting a PPV for a long time, Smackdowns and House Shows after that Anger tonight lol but at least I can say I went to my Favorite PPV once in my life. |

nah, the smart crowd is much more diluted at Mania with 1. the acoustics and 2. being a smaller percentage. The post Mania/"hardcore" crowd tho, different story.

thought the show was fine also, all the matches were pretty good, Orton/Cena did well with what they had to work with and if the crowd would have just shut the fuck up and gone with it, they probably would have found themselves really enjoying the finish. Brock/Big Show was what it needed to be (Show is a beast for taking that beating, clearly wasn't enjoying it) Bryan/Wyatt was good, Rumble was the Rumble, fun, had a few nice surprises etc. Didn't think for a second Kofi was going to make that jump.

Even though I think he's complete garbage, it was pretty funny hearing the entire room sing his them when he came out. I laughed and then immediately expressed my distaste for him being back.
