We'll find out in due course whether or not Bryan was injured and whether that factored into him being eliminated early etc. somehow I doubt not having Bryan in main event or title picture will affect PPV buys or WM attendance significantly. |

No dipshit. We were pissed last year because Bryan wasn't ev put in the match and we would've rather had Reigns win than have Batista shoved down our throats. This year Bryan was in the match and we would've rather had other winners than Reigns shoved down our throats after seeing how bad he performed recently with the shitty material he was given

I doubt very much that Bryan was injured. Like I said immediately after it happened; better to have him eliminated early and hope the crowd get over it, than have people think he's gonna go all the way only to be dropped by Reigns; that would amplify the hatred from the crowd.
It's also why Ambrose, Ziggler, or any other fan favourite didn't really get any momentum in the match. |

tbh Reigns winning this year is angering people for the same reasons as Batista last year. People don't feel he is ready to headline WM. I am inclined to agree; Reigns has never really impressed me
That being said, I don't think there were many better alternatives. Bryan obviously. But like, Rusev? I don't think he's ready. Ambrose? Maybe. Cesaro I could see, or Ziggler. I think, Bryan aside, Reigns was the best choice of a bad lot. |

You seem to be misinterpreting my point about realism. The point is you need someone who can go one on one with Lesnar for approx 30 minutes and come out of it unscathed and fit to go on the road for Raw and Smackdown the next week etc. It appears to me Bryan is not coping well with physical knocks. That will become evident in the coming days and weeks. Even if Bryan is mega popular, do you think that has escaped the attention of WWE? Do you not think they want to please their fans? Of course they do. That's why they had the guy win the title 3 times already in less than a year. Even though he hadn't won the RR they had no hesitation putting him in the WM main event, going against the whole point of the RR being the ticket to the WM main event. So please quit with this whole BS WWE doesn't know what the fans want. If they really didn't care Bryan would be over in TNA or ROH already. The fact he is still in the WWE shows that people behind the scenes realise he is popular. |

All I could think after D Bryan was eliminated was, "We haven't had anybody since Cena really reach up and grab that brass ring."
How can anybody grab it with this fucking booking? What has Reigns done to earn this spot? And then my wife and I could only laugh as we sat there saying 'There were people in suits in the back, standing at the curtain with a smile on their face while saying; "This crowd is going to pop so hard when Roman wins this thing."' Out of touch? No. Not at all. |

If the WWE was worried about Bryan's health status or Bryan getting gassed, he would have shown up way later in the Rumble than he did. Last year Batista didn't show up until right near the end and spent even less time than Bryan did this year in the ring.
Most likely the WWE didn't want Bryan to overshadow Reigns which is why he showed up early and gone before Reigns appeared. Same for why Big Show and Kane took out a lot of the other crowd favorites. |

I glad that Reigns won.
I picked his number in a Royal Rumble pool. Won $45 bucks. But seriously, I laughed my ass off at Daniel's elimination. I was surprised he didn't get Warlord'ed. |

You know what's funny?
Last year when Batista won the rumble, the fans got firmly behind Roman Reigns when it came down to the final two. |

OK if, IF it was confirmed that Bryan did legit pick up an injury and this affected his Rumble appearance do you think the fans would be less butthurt?

According to Psycho Sid who was at the ppv, crowd's been upset well after the show ended. Was in a semi-riot mood for a bit.

I also don't see Reigns v Lesnar at WM. I predict it will be Reigns v Rollins.
And if the sheep bleat loudly enough, WWE may well find a way to insert more people into the title match maybe a 4 way elimination match or an elimination chamber match. |

The problem being that he didn't look hurt nor can you in any way begin to even substantiate the idea that he was hurt. He was clearly going at full speed, doing his usual big spots. If he was hurt or they needed to protect him they wouldn't allow him to go out there and take bumps off the top rope or dive to the outside.
Reigns winning, as easily predicted, was an albatross. Nothing against guy. I'm sure in the long term, with more experience, he could be a main event guy. But that time, clearly is not now. He's not ready. He doesn't have the following, he doesn't have personality, and he's just not comfortable enough to be there. It's obvious. I don't understand the decision making here. Even if they wanted to use Bryan elsewhere on the Mania card, you had Ambrose and Ziggler as viable options to main event and help create another main eventer. I just don't get it anymore. |
