Let's take a look back and appreciate just how sloppy the Rumble was.
Lots of guys working loose and a frankly unacceptable amount of blatantly talking through spots.
My favourite moment was probably when somebody (I forget who) hit a belly to belly suplex that was so loose the dude taking might as well have just randomly front flipped since it was so blatant he was doing all the work. In a perfect world when the offender got to the back he was hit on the nose with a rolled up newspaper by a road agent and just had "NO! BAD WRESTLER!" yelled at him for a solid two minutes.
Everyone is different. Everyone is special.

Do I actually get a pick 'em title match or was that some sort of fever dream.
I could ask that question about the entire rumble to be fair.

the philly crowd never gave that match any opportunity to breathe, huh
i haven't read 1.4K posts yet but I understand why people are mad about bryan/wish that reigns wasn't being strapped to a rocket
but did we learn NOTHING from last year's wrestlemania build? the rumble FIRESTORM that turned into literally the greatest mania ever?
intentional or otherwise, these guys have proven that they can put together a hell of a card with the talent they have, I'm not gonna doubt them just yet
'mania might still be good, but that doesn't change the fact that the rumble match was shit
i'm really, REALLY glad I literally just finished the rumble, though nirya's title clued me in on who won,
also my post in the other thread stands
I honestly don't see how that title had any clues in it, and I tried really hard especially after asking specifically earlier to not spoil it, but I'm sorry if I missed something
I think the whole "sneak up behind the heels while they bicker and eliminate them both" thing can work for scrappy underdog characters like bryan or ziggles
but reigns is supposed to be mayor badass of badasstown

oh no, it was just me inferring, it wasn't explicit
i'm fairly certain raw would be 50 times better with its own band

I'd say out of the Rumble...Bray came out looking the strongest. He eliminated a lot of people and lasted a long fucking time. That and anyone who can walk around for 30 minutes in the ring after Bubba Ray is a tough SOB in my book. (Granted...put him and Bubba in a tables match and we'll really see who is the biggest Bully in the ring).
Also I kinda want Rusev and Bray to have a mini-feud with Bray channeling Rasputin to throw Rusev off.

Really, really inspiring stuff.
And like Sweeney said last thread, the segment with both of them and Heyman was really good and sold the whole thing well.

Apparently if you have the volume high enough on good speakers you can hear Reigns being fed lines at moments where the audio didn’t cut out
Rewound and turned up the audio and yep. Can't wait till someone puts that up on Youtube.

I mean, he still did a better than normal promo.
Ugh
Yep! It's back to the first match.
That was a lot of fun!

and I should know
I've seen every one of them

Great first half, poor second.
Their insistence of having Show and Kane dump all the favorites was the worst part.
it was really cool of them to do that
I hope it generates some more support for them

let's watch hoodslam, beginning at the top of the hour
it's a really good bit to make reigns look great for taking them both out, but that only works in a vacuum
when the crowd is so vehemently against reigns to begin with, it doesn't work
it also doesn't work when he just dumps them out while they argue with one another
instead of roman looking strong, kane and show just look like idiots
Steam | Twitter
that's fair, yeah
i actually liked a lot of the little bits in the rumble, if not the larger picture stuff

which isn't a bad thing, really
it's just not something they've established his character around
Bryan being eliminated isn't the worst part.
The worst part is having Kane and Show casually throwing out Bray, Dean, and Ziggler like they were trash.

It is not a Roman Reigns move
It is a Dean Ambrose move
oh no, it was just me inferring, it wasn't explicit
