GDT: WWE ROYAL RUMBLE (January 24, 2016) -- WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH ‎- Pt. 2

[M.C.G. 31]

The only one worth any credibility there is Harper. You seriously think they would waste dates on lesnar to face a wyatt lacky just to get to brayy at mania 6 weeks later? Come on.

Why are we throwing out "waste dates" like this is Lesnar's first contract when he came back? He's working house shows, for god's sake. His dates clearly aren't an issue.

 

[Emperoreddy]

This was the same as every recent WWE event. The in-ring action was very good and it was very entertaining until the booking went completely to hell.

I don't see how anybody could criticize somebody for questioning the booking, it was a mess at the end. Face gets booed. Heel gets cheered. The crowd was apathetic for HHH's win. It was a dumpster fire.

You nailed it. I don't get why this simple fact can't be understood. Your top babyface Roman is getting booed, and took a nap in the back for half the match.

Heels are getting cheered. Your winner got apathy at best (they cut the feed off so fast who knows if it stayed that way).

Who was over in the Rumble? AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Brock Lesnar.

one of these men was actually in the final two! HHH wins.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Fast lane is 6 weeks apart from Wrestlemania. It's always been like that every year even when it was NWO.

But clearly you know better than everyone else.

It's you who's acting like you know better than everybody else. First of all, there have already been rumors that Reigns-HHH is the planned main event for mania.

Besides that, break it down logically: they are not going to make their top guy (Reigns) chasing the title from the evil authority figure who screwed him the focus of a b ppv. They see this as a huge angle and I just don't see them making it an afterthought in the mania plans.

 

[nameless1]

You wanna show me where i specifically said this will be a good main event or even that i think it will be the main event? I'll wait.

That is fair.
You did not say that.

However...
I also disagree with your assumption...
Because I actually think it will be the main event.
I have absolutely no faith in Creative at all.

That said...
Even if you are right...
And it is not the main event at Wrestlemania...
It will be...
At the very least...
A prominent match.
Why would you think that any Triple H match...
As champ...
Would be a good idea?
That is what baffles me.

 

[MadDevil]

Sasha is back, the end.

Charlotte/Becky/Sasha should be really good. Plus bring Bayley up eventually and they've got Sasha and Charlotte as heels, Bayley and Becky as faces, and whatever the hell Paige is.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Here we go with "the look" again. lmao, Conor McGregor, GSP, Ronda Rousey, Floyd Mayweather... these guys and gals wouldn't have a chance in WWE yet they're top draws in their sport. The look means **** these days. Stop.

HA! PAL You think someone under 6'5 can draw money?

From Vince's standpoint, he's right. It's sad but true ...

 

[Cubs2024wildcard]

and the fans totally rejected it because they are sick of samoan hogan

Its rather popular to hate on Reigns.

They do the same to Cena.

Does it stop Vince? Nope

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

HA! PAL You think someone under 6'5 can draw money?

No they can't. And I am in no way biased in saying that. Let's face it: all you short folks are just plain inferior. I literally look down on you.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Its rather popular to hate on Reigns.

They do the same to Cena.

Does it stop Vince? Nope

It isn't popular. It exists because he can't cut a promo. His cardio is so bad they had to hide him in the back so the crowd didn't start chanting "Roman's sleeping" because he gets gassed so fast. He is 5 moves of doom.

Cena became a better worker, and Cena can cut a promo which is kind of important.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

HA! PAL You think someone under 6'5 can draw money?

I would love to be in a room where someone informs Vince that the biggest draws in sports these past few years have been under 5'10" tall with the exception of a few.

 

[Cor]

Soooo you think HHH will vacate the title on Raw tomorrow and we will have a beat the clock challenge for the new WWE champ?

Only if John Cena returns to dummy the winner minutes after they won the title.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Height means nothing. Torey Krug is a draw, brother.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Its rather popular to hate on Reigns.

They do the same to Cena.

Does it stop Vince? Nope

its popular to hate reigns because he's a rehash of cena. the fans want to boo him, he has heel mannerisms.

the reigns push hasn't worked interest and tv ratings keep going down

and what else doesn't make sense, is how they had roman beat the **** out of lesnar on raw, then they don't even have a SINGLE confrontation in the rumble

what ****ing sense does that make

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Why are we throwing out "waste dates" like this is Lesnar's first contract when he came back? He's working house shows, for god's sake. His dates clearly aren't an issue.

I meant more as in, why would WWE waste a PPV slot with lesnar vs a lacky more than anything.

It's known lesnar doesn't want to be traveling to TV taping too much so logically you'd expect them to book him in a match at a PPV that won't literally be just lesnar suplexing one of the wyatts for 5 minutes and then pinning him.

 

[Tabarouette]

The general opinion on LAW is super positive. Marks are happy, money will flow

 

[Emperoreddy]

I would love to be in a room where someone informs Vince that the biggest draws in sports these past few years have been under 5'10" tall with the exception of a few.

Vince should go rewatch Connor's presser from the other day. Guy oozes more charisma then his entire main event picture he created tonight.

BUT...to short.

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

Here we go with "the look" again. lmao, Conor McGregor, GSP, Ronda Rousey, Floyd Mayweather... these guys and gals wouldn't have a chance in WWE yet they're top draws in their sport. The look means **** these days. Stop.

It does mean something though, whether we like it or not. Casual fans and children root for guys based off how cool they look in large part. They dont care or even notice things like ''workrate'' or who can cut a believable promo. Kids wanna be like Roman Reigns, Goldberg, The Rock, Stone Cold ect. What kid is going to look at Dean Ambrose or Kevin Owens and see a cool factor in them? Sorry but they look like average guys you'd see on the street.

 

[Blitzkrug]

And for the people saying this is a great storyline; will you be saying that when the authority is thoroughly defeated for the 4th time and yet will still refuse to **** off the following night?

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

WWE did book Lesnar to throw Show around for 3 minutes at a glorified house show. Just sayin.

 

[DD03]

Jericho spent more time in the Rumble than Roman.

Maybe he should main event Wrestlemania.

That.

And why the hell was Ambrose in there for so long?

He had a last man standing match.

He looked more unstoppable then Roman tonight..

You forgot to end your post with some sort of passive aggressive remark.

 

[George Binks]

I knew that was gonna happen, but still pretty pissed with the ending

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

You forgot to end your post with some sort of passive aggressive remark.

No need for that, I was responding to someone who brought up something that actually made sense.

Happy?
