I really hope we get Bryan Brock at Mania, or some point just so we can see this done to counter the F-5. Show off Bryan's submission side to try and prove he can out wrestle Brock. Make him go for a running knee on RAW or something, but Bryan just bounces off Brock and Brock only stumbles. So Bryan has to resort to outsmarting the bigger, stronger man. Go back to his roots and tap his ass out.

God. I'm so hyped for wrestling again. Roster is stacked again, filling out really well, NXT guys on the horizon, hopefully that means a better women's division as well
lol :c
. Going into Rumble expecting Roman to win, but I'll be excited for any surprise should he not.

If Bryan doesn't win the Rumble and Roman does I honestly think he'll get career damaging heat from this .

Nah, everyone hated Batista. Roman will always have the fangirls and kids screaming "Let's Go Roman" just like the guy he's replacing on top. WWE seems more than comfortable with half the crowd booing their top face.

I liked Batista..

Echoing what others have said; Roman only got the reaction he did because Bryan was white hot, wasn't even in the rumble, people knew Batista was taking his place, hated Batista because of it, so when it was down to Roman and Tister, people chose the lesser of two evils.

I think the curb stomp might be one of the few protected moves in the WWE right now.

I imagine Cena has kicked out of it though. And probably Roman.

The curb stomp is a genius move because for the people who can't believe a guy like Seth could destroy a Cena or a Roman with a slam or something can buy that stomping your full weight onto the back of someone's head and squashing it between your foot and the mat. Great move.

Batista was not at fault for the rumble mess.

People seemed happy for him being back till everyone started to catch on that he was taking D.Bry's role. Just the victim of oblivious booking, I can't believe they ever thought it would work.

It's weird, a lot of people have finishers that are actually well protected right now. Maybe Ziggler's moveset consisting of multiple finishers that everyone kicks out of is the counter balance.

Sister Abigail seems pretty protected
The Accolade is super protected
Curb Stomp is protected
Roman's Spear is protected
Bryan's flying knee I don't think has been kicked out of

Down on NXT pretty much everyone's finisher is protected

Either Bateaster or Orton kicked out of it at WM. I think it was Orton.

You're probably right. I thought it was one of those "Bryan hit it and then took a fucking year to crawl over to Orton and pin him" kind of deals. I'm probably wrong though.

Hit the knee on Orton, Batista threw him out of the ring and scurried over to Orton. Minimal lag time, but eeeeeeh...

I'd have to watch it again to be sure, but I thought Orton and Batista were saved from the pin from the knee each time.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the one where Bryan wasn't pinning. I don't count that for some reason

Doesn't count because it wasn't Bryan pinning, and it was many seconds after he hit it.

I believe the laws of wrestling dictate that this doesn't count since the magic of a finishing move is inherently lost when the person who did the finisher is not the one attempting the pin or when there's a significant delay between move and pin attempt.

Bryan's flying knee is still safe.

Tensai beat Cena clean with the Baldo Bomb.

Yeah he misted him in the face, but that doesn't knock you out. And it's Cena, so I have to be lax with the rules.

Curiously enough despite his booking Cesaro's Neutralizer is super protected. No one has ever kicked out of it, and in any major match he lost, like against Cena, he didn't hit it.

Orton kicked out of Bryan's knee at WM 30, but I believe it was a mistimed pinfall and they meant to have a delay between the hit and Batista's pinfall. Otherwise it's been an instant kill move (example, Bryan kicked out of the pedigree in the match with Triple H, but H got pinned clean from one Knee).

Batista totally counts. His return run was one of the biggest misfires in a long time. Fans didn't welcome him back because he was taking someone else's spot who was massively over at the time and on top of that Batista wasn't even remotely in wrestling shape.

Definitely, the Royal Rumble comes to mind. It's still amazing the amount of heat Rey got as #30 and when it came down to Roman and Batista the crowd backed Roman.

I still remember cringing at the poor timing of having Seth curb stomp a black person on MLK day. Did nobody think things through at all..? Oh wait, they probably did.

Curb Stomp, Camel Clutch, Neutralizer, the Knee that Beat John Cena are all fairly well protected.

More moves than usual actually.

I thought the Curb Stomp used to the Blackout but it was changed either because people like Curb Stomp more or because Blackout references Seth's name on the indies "Tyler Black".

I think it was just a case of people calling it what it is and it just kinda stuck as the curb stomp. It also seems more serious of a move because it doesn't have a silly name. It's just CURB STOMP. Like.. this dude is just going to stomp on your head. It's awesome.

I firmly believe the only reason Bryan's knee is still considered protected is because he hasn't been active since after WM.


I will enjoy it while it lasts, though.

You want a serious answer for real? Also here is the breakdown you linked too.

hour 1: 3.174
hour 2: 3.476
hour 3: 3.726

Avg: 3.459

Basically everyone showed up in hour 3 which was basically the Daniel Bryan announcement and Seth Rollins threatening to kill a man. The first hour killed them though. Sucks for Ryback, Ziggler, Rusev and Lesnar who were in the first hour.

holy shit hour 3 was up

HOUR 3 WAS UP





Also Cesaro will be the joke elimination at the Rumble via El Torito.
