I actually sing that line IRL whenever applicable. Problem is, I'm rarely ever in the company of people who know the source material. Almost never, in fact, so no one knows what the hell I'm singing, let alone what I'm singing.
I also burst my way into an apartment once singing Captain Hammer's opening for "A Man's Gotta Do", but she a) was aware of the origin and b) I was there to kill a spider, so it worked. |

It does seem odd. I wouldn't think that people canceling their subscriptions to the WWE Network would be the sort to immediately flock to New Japan though, you know?

I agree with this lady. People need to grow up and not cancel their subscription to a wrestling network simply because it doesn't entertain them. |

Anyway, I'm highly amused that they Bootista 2.0'd the Rumble, but as with last year's developments, there are certainly ways to rectify this. If we have HHH vs Sting and Cena vs Rusev for not the US Title at Wrestlemania, you could turn Lesnar vs Reigns into a triple threat or fatal fourway. I'd personally root for a fatal fourway, since it could generate more suspense and intrigue. Make it Lesnar vs Reigns vs Rollins vs... I dunno, Bryant (health issues permitting) or something like that. And then even have Reigns beat Lesnar with literally five spears (milking the Lesnar injured ribs angle, since he's face-ish now, and all WWE faces have to be vulnerable if they're not named Cena ). And then have Rollins cash in his MitB while Reigns is celebrating, clocking him in the back of the head with the brief case, then beating him down some more, signalling to a ref to start a match, and then applying a curb stomp onto Reigns onto the briefcase. You get a heel win that the fans might actually be happy for. Well, I'd be happy with that swerve, at least. -- If Bryant is healthy, then I'm disappointed he didn't win. If he's really not 100%, then I understand not giving him the rub. Having Bryant build an underdog story and be the guy to defeat Lesnar would have been my favorite angle for Wrestlemania, because you'd be able to empathize with him. And having Bryan triumph where others have failed could be believable due to his technical wrestling acumen. But it's all based on how well Bryant can really perform, and since I don't know that (and won't rely on rumors), I can't really comment on whether I'm happy he was eliminated quickly or not. Bray Wyatt did look awesome, though. |

I was trying that "ironic" thing, for the record.
That tweet was quite retarded. I just found the idea that keeping your subscription to a wrestling network regardless of whether it entertains you or not is the "grown up" thing to do hilarious. |

Think I'm most annoyed that I sacrificed half a nights sleep to watch live for the first time in forever because I was expecting something interesting to happen (in the Rumble or the Triple Threat).
Now I'm going to do a 10 hour shift with 3.5 hours sleep. |

I'm not pissed because Roman won, I honestly can't see why people hate him THAT much, like with a passion, other than the fact he is pushed hard on TV. We all know the IWC rebel's against that happening unless it's a favourite of theirs.
Actually, I'm not even pissed. I'm just sad that the match had so much potential, and they booked it so horribly. Whoever thought it was a good idea to make Big Show & Kane look stronger than Bryan, Ziggler, Ambrose etc should be reprimanded. That's what ruined the match for me. |

The problem being that all that bad booking happened in order to place Roman on a pedestal. It's not his fault but you can't boo with a caveat.

Yeah I get that, but it's not the first time it's happened. I think things are getting a bit extreme with some things I'm reading. If some people legit feel the way they do about what happened on a wrestling show, it's probably not a bad thing they stop watching for a while.

The Rumble match itself was shite. People talking during the match on mic and then, as you stated, Kane + Show eliminating most of the talent who, if were in the final 4 instead of them, would have been much more entertaining. There should have been a few "OH SHIT" elimination spots. This Rumble fell very flat for me, which is disappointing because it is generally my favorite event of the year. Markout moment came for Bubby "Bully" Ray Dudley. |

As a person who doesn't really know anything about Reigns and doesn't care that he won, the reason it seemed shitty to me had nothing to do with him... just the match itself seemed really shitty and boring and super anticlimactic... nothing cool happened, sorta just suddenly tossed people over the ropes without any "cool spots" or build up or whatever... was just like "ok..." Like even the end, when Rusev was still not out and he came back... before the crowd could even finish "popping," he just got boringly thrown out immediately... and Kane and Big Show being there @ the end... Daniel Bryan being eliminated super early so only a bunch of boring ass wrestlers were left for the rest of the match (and immediately eliminating any1 else who came in who seemed "exciting")... shitty

Yep. The first and second halves of the Rumble were night and day.
It was clear that WWE knew Bryan getting eliminated would be booed. They just chose to get it out of the way early. Their big mistake though was thinking they'd turn the crowd back around in the second half of the match. |

Not a huge Rock mark, but if "The Great One" cannot turn a crowd around, there most likely isn't anyone withing the sports entertainment realm who can.

I want to join the Cancel WWE Network movement, but at the end of the day I'm not sure it's going to make a difference. Me cancelling isn't going to stop WWE from shooting itself in the foot time and time again. I'd rather just enjoy NXT and the wonderful back catalogue available to me.
I've seen people on here say the product is way more enjoyable if you just don't waste your time with TV and go into PPVs blind. I will be doing that for Fast Lane. I've stuck with Raw for far longer than I should because 16 year habits are hard to break, but it's just hard to get motivated to spend 3 hours every week watching something that will invariably piss me off. This is as good a time as any to pick back up on my plans of marathoning Nitro. |

Man. The more I think back to last night, the more I'm bummed out about how much of a sour taste the Rumble finish left in most peoples' mouths. The title match preceding it was awesome.

Guys srsly can we talk about how good that triple threat match was? Rollins is incredible. I was never fully sold on him but after last night I'm coming around.

You know, forcing a square peg into a round hole hasn't worked for WWE in the past. This feels familiar. Like I've witnessed this before...
And no, I'm not talking about last year. |

I'm not gonna pretend to know anything about running a business, and I'm not gonna try and be like Francise or anyone who's gonna get all "lol IWC sheep" or whatever, bottom line, I'm a fan, I know what I like, what I don't like, and this Rumble match was boring. Nothing interesting happened. No really special moments occured. Just literally people come in, brawl, and get eliminated. Reigns winning was complete bullshit and uninteresting. I streamed it online so the only thing I'm gutted about wasting was my time. Lesnar vs. Reigns doesn't appeal to me at all. Crowd are gonna shit all over it.

I do feel bad for Reigns though. Been put in this position that he very clearly isn't ready for. He has to act on-screen like this is his big moment and that the crowd aren't shitting all over him.

Absolutely. Reign's himself can't help this. Sure, he could have worked more to improve or whatever, but ultimately as others as said, who in their right mind would turn down this opportunity?!

On top of that having Him show up right after DB gets eliminated like we were supposed to look to him as some sort of hero AND THEN a transparent and insulting attempt to prop him up using his relation to The Rock you could not have booked this any worse if you tried. |

I don't know. I still think the backlash is way overdone.
Like... okay. Say the DB scenario goes down exactly the same, early elimination etc. If instead of Reigns coming in and winning as he did right after, you put Rusev in that exact spot and had the exact same thing happen but with Rusev instead of Reigns. Are you going to seriously tell me that you think Rusev is more "ready" than Reigns is? I don't buy it. Yeah Reigns isn't a great choice but he's better than the alternatives (DB winning notwithstanding) |
