Goldust and Jericho were really surprising. Very well done.

Esp. since Dustin was fired from WWE last year, I even told someone in the RR thread to not expect him as a entrant. Even better that he stayed in for a while and had the stuff with Cody, very cool stuff.

If they really do go for a Cody/Dustin WM match I'd be suprised, but I would love it.

 

[jred2k]

Alright so during the Rumble, what feuds kicked off?

Ziggler/Jericho again
Bo Dallas (who I will call "Ballas") and Wade Barruh
Cody/Goldy
Kane/Bryan possibly

Anything else I missed?

I hope Cody/Goldy doesn't transpire into anything, at least for a while. If they were to split Rhode Scholars right now its would completely decimate the tag division. I'm surprised the titles didn't change last night, but now that the seed of distrust has been planted in Hell No they will definitely be dropping them soon. I wouldn't be too shocked to see a rematch tonight or possibly at EC.

I guess they could also have the Shield take the tag belts and have Rhode Scholars split. That leaves Sandow by himself and in a nowhere feud with Kofi or R-Truth.

 

[McNei1y]

I don't think it can be stressed enough how tired people are of John Cena. Its nothing against him, but at how he is being booked. A better way to book it would have been for both Cena and Ryback eliminating each other at the end.. Thus drawing out the uncertainty as to who will go to WM till after EC.

I can honestly say that I wouldn't mind Cena if he weren't Cena status right now... but unfortunately it's 8 years too late for me to even have any excitement for him. And with the way it's going, it doesn't look like there will be any change.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Also mark your sources as bullshit if they reported Shelton Benjamin, MVP, or Carlito as returning.

Was sad to see no Mark Henry, but if ADR moves on from Show, a heel Henry would be awesome to have feud with ADR.

There is no way that Ryback wouldn't fuck up that finish.

wow!

Thank You DDP.

That's right. DDP Yoga is fo' real. But it's more than just the yoga. DDP (author of Positively Page) is a huge force of positivity in a dark time.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

wow!

Thank You DDP.

I was secretly hoping he'd be a surprise entrant even though I knew there was zero chance of it happening.

Absolutely. I remember I had a little low point in a my life and the YOGA classes were not enough to get me out of my stump. People man. You need good people in your life.

After seeing those before/after pics of Jake, I was hoping for a surprise appearance at the Rumble. One DDT, that's all I need to see.

Lets face it, Jake probbaly has some awesome genes. How mean how the fuck could he still be alive? Imagine if he had taken care of himself? Probably could live till 100!

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Jake needs to stay away from wrestling and especially the boys.

I agree, but is it even remotely close to the same environment as it was?

 

[Ydahs]

Really, Heyman's two cheap shot clubbings to the back was too much for you? He just took a few cheap shots. It wasn't like he was beating on Rock with a chair or putting Punk's foot on the ropes during a pin. It was just a few cheap shots from a portly manager.

Heyman's cheap shots? In isolation, no.

None of it was "too much", but it wasn't handled well overall. I mean, Rock vs CM Punk. It should have been a classic, but it was far from it.

 

[Spider from Mars]

I want Legends house or whatever to be a reality. I want the Ultimate Warrior, Jake, Iron Sheik, Hacksaw and Koko B. Ware living in a house with cameras on 24/7.

I thought the match was great, but the ending was poor.

Potential Jericho WM feud spoilers:

F4Wonline.com is reporting it's very possible Chris Jericho will

Spoiler

turn heel before WrestleMania.

One discussion has been for him to feud with Dolph Ziggler until Elimination Chamber and then turn heel. Once he turns heel, a possible WrestleMania feud and opponent for him is Ryback.

Actually wouldn't mind this. Would be an interesting and fresh feud.

 

[jmdajr]

It was better than Cena/Rock

The first night of his light jacket return was the best RAW segment in years.

Ryback

has been very fortunate to be looking very good in recent matches in TLC and RAW thanks to the workers involved. Plus I think he's slowly but surely getting better in general. I don't get the "I'm scared for the other person" feeling i used to get when watching his matches

This is crazy. Jericho got some of the biggest pops of the night. The fans still love him. As they should.

You're dead to me. I'm a Jerichoholic first. Everything else follows. Angle and Jericho were always my favorites.

Look at what? Can't enjoy the performance for even one night?
Yeah last run was underwhelming, what does it matter? Doesn't make last night a failure.

[Hightower]

The sports bar I was in popped HUGE for him and the groan when he was eliminated was by far the most vocal.

The guy came back and worked a very solid 40+ minutes and was the MVP of that match.

Didn't see the Rumble last night...so he returned as a face?

Yea, I mean he only got the biggest pop of the night and was arguably the focal point of the whole Rumble. And his promo with Ziggler after the show was total shit, right?

Please. His last run might've sucked, but give credit where credit is due.

Well, he didn't say a single word, but he wrestled as a face.

Still in fantastic shape.

Crowd: "You still got it."

Really outside a botched Walls of Jericho on Cena, it was a solid performance.

Looks like Jericho's back to work with Dolph. Can't freaking wait.

don't act like you're surprised, Cena routinely fucks up moves.

Which arguably wasn't even Jericho's fault. Cena tends to fuck up everything he touches.

Jericho is awesome and put on some solid matches last year. he helped put punk and ziggler over.

45 minutes in Rumble at full speed, having not wrestled for months. That's just a great performance, especially when Rock is pretty much the same age and was gasping for air for most of his match.
