It is beyond startling how out of touch WWE are with their audience. It's not even an IWC thing. An entire fucking arena voiced the exact same opinion. Good lord nobody wants to see Orton/Batista.

I hate the idea of either of them walking out of WrestleMania with the title though. Especially while Cena and Wyatt are in an inconsequential match that would be much more intriguing with the title at steak. |

was definitely pulling for Bryan to be in the Rumble but really for the "romanticism" of it/"the moment". But thinking about it logically for 5 seconds, Bryan wins the Rumble and without hotshotting the belt to somebody at the next PPV/a pretty ho hum ending to everything Orton has done over the last 5-6 months, that sets up one of two main events, Bryan/Orton or Bryan/Cena, both of which have been done recently and decisively. Whether they booked themselves into that position or not, neither of those really work for your Mania main event. So I understand him not winning/being in it (personally would have loved to see him enter at 30 anyway just to see the crowd's reaction to him being eliminated) "the rumours" state that it'll be Bryan/Sheamus at Mania, which is fine, they've shown previously they can tear the house down. That said, for the crowd interaction it would create, the setting, the perfect ending it would give to the "ultimate underdog"/against the odds story etc, Orton/Batista/Bryan would be great. Not gonna happen but still great. |

While Daniel Bryan clearly should've won the Rumble, I do like Batista. Not interested in Batista vs Orton at all though.
Cena-Bray I am ok with. Overall good show. |

Who cares about that. Bats is a name so I dont care if he hasnt been around. But to give him the rumble when hes already a star, and the Main event of Wrestlemania, and to ignore the fact that for 6 months there hasnt been a bigger star in the company than Bryan and they refuse to cash in on it is just stupid.

I feel depressed right now. Wrestling has been my main hobby for 15 years and for the first time ever, I feel like I don't even care about it anymore.

If this makes Batista all "yup, I'm going to WrestleMania. Deal with it, fuckers" then at least something good will come from it.

Does @WWE actually hate their own audience? I've never been so disgusted with a PPV. |

This is Pittsburgh too. Not some super smark crowd like Philly, New York or Chicago. I just hope everyone at every crowd shits on this.

Pretty sure I bombed one match with Tipsters (Bryan/Wyatt), but aside from that I made very few mistakes. Orton won via RKO, Billy got the pin, Punk was in the rumble longer than Roman, and life is good.

Daniel Bryan @WWEDanielBryan
They try to keep US down and away from the top spots, but they can’t ignore the reactions forever. Keep voicing your opinions. |

The problem is if WWE books Bryan at the top, they'll book him to fail like they did before.

Batista needs to go back to shiny tights though.

They also need to realize he's not Chris Benoit or Chris Jericho. As great as those guys were/(or in Jericho's case, ARE), fans didn't hijack segments and entire main events of pay per views in their name, fans weren't captivated by them. It's so weird to see what is happening and how it's being ignored.

WWE will end up having Daniel Bryan main event the WM preshow vs El Torito in an epic 30 second squash match, with the stupid little bull winning.

Its like they think "Oh lets keep dragging this out" but eventually this shit is going to fizzle when people get tired of not getting a payoff.
Or they think "Bryan is over and selling merch no need to push him". |

Wow, tuned into the end of the Rumble after seeing a few Bryan segments and how hot the crowd is for him recently... absolutely amazing to see the crowd take a big dump all over the final 3.
I would say the WWE cant ignore that but I thought they couldn't ignore the cage top Raw ending a few weeks back either and tonight's Rumble would be all Bryan. |

Ok...I'm done waiting to see where they go with this. Come the fuck on with Bryan already. I'm hoping this means HBK/Daniel Bryan or Bryan/Taker is a lock.

LOL
It could end up being worse. Lesnar could win the belt from Orton. Lesnar vs Batista as the main event would be awesome. Two guys who probably won't be around 1 week after Wrestlemania. OOH |
