    Lol. Wonder what Raw will be like.

    It's actually in Hartford, Conneticut. WWE's home state so they might not get such a bad reaction.

    That tends to be a dead ass crowd.

    Lol wwe without russo strikes again!

    Tbh it was an alright show but the fans do not want against all odds super hero faces.

    WWE creative should be embarrassed. HHH will probably put spin on it though

    I thought it was just the standard acknowledge then move on quickly thing they do when a crowd turns.
    The way they handled it immediately after his elimination was suggestive of something I thought. But we'll see where, if anywhere, they go.
    He might as well as it looks like it's more about the Rock than it is the rumble winner especially going by that interview just then.
    Good way to spike any potential drawing numbers for Reigns is to put The Rock front and centre.

    And I didn't even think Rock sounded great there.
    He didn't sound good. Clearly wasn't interested at all.

    NJPW World for me. They filmed their old stuff on actual 8MM film stock so the digital transfer is clean, no upgraded video, proper film quality HD transfers. It's awesome, I am really hoping AJPW get in on it at some point too. But watching old AJW/NJPW stuff is cool, even a lot of of the old stuff holds up well because they are wrestling with a sense of credibility.

    Is it easy to sign up too (In English)? As I'm really tempted to go for it now.

    Just means Rollins will get jobbed to Reigns if doing a Mania cash-in.

    Reigns beating both Lesnar and Rollins in one night seems like what we'll be getting. Vince will push Reigns no matter what.

    I didn't mean cashing in, he should already be in it.

    Good luck to Reign but they are going to kill him before he's started, they have killed him. Rollins proved he can play with the big boys, Reigns is yet to do that on his own.

    And I think it's probably fairer to say Vince and Triple H will push him.

    It's going to be Roman sucks...only not followed by let's go Roman.

    Surely he himself is pissed with how he's been handled. This is WCW at its worst type booking.

    He had better sense then to be associated with that cluster **** of a rumble. :p

    Poor BO Dallas.

    I'm glad I never got him as number 18 though but I got Adam Rose instead. :(

    Lol Bo and RKO returning tomorrow, hopefully.

    I agree is he still injured or maybe he'll be on Raw instead?

    Ill assume Rollins will try cashing in on the injury Lesnar on Raw then out of nowhere...

    I understand that but Reigns winning is only understandable if you're taking WWE's mindset. Even if they like him a lot, surely they realise what their audience will think and should therefore protect him by giving him more time to get better and more over.
    They're either tone deaf or not bothered.

    Hopefully the rest of the Mania card is good because I'm not looking forward to that title match.

    Oh I totally agree - and as I say this is throwing Reigns to the wolves long-term and it's unfair on the guy himself.

    They need a good Mania card. I think we need Rollins/Orton again to save the show.

    Anyway night folks. Need the two hours of sleep I can get (if that). Anyone going to watch for Raw tomorrow? I need someone else to rant with. :D

    What for Bryan, Ziggler, Ambrose at Mania? I'm guessing a 3vs3 match against the Authority

    More than likely as well as.

    Brock Lesnar (c) with Heyman vs. Roman Reigns
    Seth Rollins vs. Randy Orton
    Sting vs. Triple H
    Taker vs. Bray Wyatt
    John Cena vs. Rusev with Lana
    Divas match

    I rarely agree with you whedon but do on the superhero faces point. Why do WWE love it so? It never works in modern times (Hogan an exception). People want believable - not SuperReigns, SuperSheamus or SuperCena.

    Never mind that.

    WHERE WAS RANDY ORTON?!
    Maybe he heard the booking they had planned for tonight and decided he wanted no part of it?

    That's not true though. They don't want Roman Reigns as a superhero face. Cast Daniel Bryan as a superhero face tonight and that crowd would have eaten it up.

    Haha, then we'll get all sorts of spin about how he's clearly a rating draw etc.

    Yeah I think the Authority has to put Rollins in the match too, but he's feuding with Orton so it won't happen.

    Unless it's a four way?

    Yeah because Vince Russo has never put spin on a shitty creative decision he's made ;)

    Going on tonight's crowd reaction tonight maybe WWE should pull a fast one and do a Lesnar/Reigns double turn on Raw tomorrow? Although actually going on the crowd reaction tonight they're not going to have a choice on that.

    Smary cocky heel Reigns I could at least sort of get behind. And it seems much more suited to his actual personality and mannerisms than this face shtick they've given him.

    Nevermind Orton n' Sheamus, the main question is..

    Did D'Von try to hold 'em up for more money than they thought he was worth?!?

    It's weird how the Rumble was so flat. I think it's the first time I've not enjoyed the rumble. Last years was weird but it was still fun. This years was just so half arsed.

    He's never made a shitty decision so no spin needed ;-)
