Its gonna be bad. A wrestlemania crowd that close to ny Cena's gonna get booed so bad. I still remember one night stand vs rvd it felt like the crowd was tear him apart.
I like how the commercial for the Royal Rumble pretty much summed up the entire match. A sports bar from an alternate universe where everyone says that their favorite wrestler is going to win it, only for the camera to pan to Cena wearing his casual attire, with a sly smile and a nod as if saying "These silly people."
Here's his post-match interview.
Yeah, someone posted it in here. I think he met his goal already which is great.

Vince didn't offer to pay?

If you drew Kane, you won an Undertaker S.T.O.M.P 3 action figure. But if Taker should appear in the Rumble, the person who drew him steals the prize.
Amazing, this figure is amazing!
WWE gained a lot from Brock even with his limited appearances. He improved buyrates for the two PPV he participated in significantly.
Hopefully this time around it's more than 3 appearances per month.
Also another great report... Its seems that Chris Jericho is coming back full time again:
He cut a promo on wwe.com with Dolph and told him that he was reinstated

That's the curious thing about it. Cena/Rock is a money match but it also does nothing for Cena as a baby face. It's short sighted in quite a few ways.
Not even watching it, but let me guess? He smirks, and says something about it being an honour or whatever?
Well how often do MMA/Boxers fight a year? If you think of it in those terms it's not too ridiculous I suppose.
A minimum of two more years of MMA "I might just kill someone for the lulz" Brock Lesnar in the WWE is a good thing. Hopefully the dates restriction isn't as tight so we can get Lesnar more often. He'd still maintain that instant Main Event feel, because he won't be on TV three times a week every week.
There's a decent chance the NYC crowd just shits on the whole match in general.
I want him to get a lifetime deal!!!!

Hard to say. The NYC loved Rock when he teamed with Cena at Survivor Series. Remember when they chanted, "Don't tag Cena! Don't tag Cena!" lol
whats this I keep hearing about quitting? Remember wresslegaf. no matter how great the set-back, no matter how severe the failure, you never give up. You never give up. You pick yourself up, brush yourself off, you push forward, you adapt, you overcome.
I think I'm going to start scaling back my tv wrasslin viewing early. I'm no longer going to watch Raw live, and if there is something I want to see, I'll catch it on youtube or Hulu. I'm also taking a break from TNA.
I'll still watch NXT each week though, best hour of wrasslin each week.

not even this gets me excited, don't even care which jobber he'll put over this time.
yeah, do like me, read the thread for the best bits (if there's any) and catch them on YT or dailymotion.
Yeah I know, I was in the 8th row. Have tix for Mania too.
But that was Rock's first match in 7 years. This is a mulligan on a match where we already know the result 3 months in advance.
We'll see. I guess it'll depend on just how cynically this whole thing plays out.

WWE's backstage interviews are one of my favorite things in the whole world, but that was really bad. Really bad. Poorly written, poorly read.
You were just in a match. Nobody talks like that after a match, bro. Especially not when they won.

It's Ryback FYI.
BTW just saw this on WWE Shop
Kinda rules out a new belt if you ask me
I'll be arrogant enough to speak for The NYC Crowd...
Rock is going to get massively, massively cheered... Cena is going to get booed out of the building that night, the next night on RAW (in NJ or NYC), and I'm hoping for a WCW "heel just won"-style treatment of Cena's inevitable title win. Bury that ring in popcorn boxes.
Rock is going to get Hogan-style treatment from the Rock/Hogan match. Cena might as well be Satan.
In all seriousness, I think there was a botch in that spot. It seemed like they were supposed to do something else, but Bryan just slipped off. Who knows, though?

My wrestling schedule is generally skip Raw, listen to the LAW for notable moments to youtube, skip SD and everything else, pick up some indie wrestling sometime on the weekend if I can. That's just enough to keep me current and in touch while minimizing my pain.
I gave up for fully five years, barring checking one or two Rumbles. It can be done. The reason I'm not quitting now in spite of the horrendous WM main event we've got looming is I'm invested in a number of the mid card and lower guys, and others in NXT. Like if I gave up now I'd miss Bryan or Cesaro's gradual rises (if whoever upstairs in WWE has a stick up their ass about Bryan will get rid of it, that is), and whatnot.
It's all dampened by the concrete knowledge that they'll always be under Cena and never be the top guys as long as Vince is in charge, though.

Leslie Neilsen to cash in Money in the Bank contract! I know this as I talked to him last night after the Royal Rumble, he's still looking for The Undertaker, but said he had time to uncover the Dave Meltzer Mystery. I had to explain that it wasn't the name of a pretentious band, but we'll soon uncover the truth.

Well, looks like the cows have come home to roost.

I don't think they'd push the belt just to replace it tonight. And if they don't do it tonight it'll never happen.

This spot was so stupid I can't tell if it was planned or not. It is not going down in any Great Moments of RR History lists.

No.
The table collapsing was the best thing last night.

In not convinced that was the original spot. I think he could tell the table wasn't strong enough for a jump, makes sense with it breaking on Rock and Punk.

If I'm honest, I thought he was just going to start spinning around with arms held out and land back in the ring.

...like a helicopter?
That's what's I'm thinking. I think will a sturdy table he could potentially make it.
Kind of makes sense, I think he was supposed to be back in the ring before Bo Dallas came out.

I was hoping for Kofi to try jumping off the table. He almost did, but then realized he would've slipped off the table and landed on his face.
