Honestly, Dolph did that brilliantly.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
As I said earlier today, everyone here was overlooking the fact that Heyman will be a colossal help to Reigns in these promos.
Ambrose would be perfect for the role. Wasted opportunity.Fox318 said:
I may have to rewatch it but there was definitely some audible feedback somewhere during his promo. Plus he did have an earpiece on him. Other people were mentioning it though.

Dolph is amazing. The way he totally ragdolled that. The guy really is the best at that shit. Even when he is getting buried he shows off.
Once again Vince's boy is depending on Mr. ECW to carry his ass

Shout out to Neo
I started up my DVR recording of the show a little late, skipped through the whole Rumble until the final 5-6 guys, and caught all of the interview segments.
That was excellent. I enjoyed Michael Cole. I enjoyed Dean Ambrose. I enjoyed Daniel Bryan. I enjoyed Brock Lesnar. I LOVED Paul Heyman, and I even enjoyed Roman Reigns more tonight. The format of this show was a nice break from the usual, but you obviously can't have full PPV matches broadcast every week to eat up the space in between.
I'm more than willing to give Roman a chance if he stays away from the shit cheese dialogue and just does the calm, cool, and collected gimmick. I thought he came off rather well on this show.
Bravo for putting on something different and compelling, WWE. They walked a fine line between kayfabe and reality tonight, and that's really how big time wrestling should be done in 2015. For instance, when Roman talked about being "hand picked" or when Bryan talked about not wanting Roman to win...that stuff blurs the lines. Of course it's scripted, but it feels more real than just talking about being awesome and better than everybody else.
The only thing that was disappointing tonight was the obvious audio mixing and muffling of the boos at the end of the Rumble footage. That's how the DVDs and Blu-rays are going to be too, isn't it? Eh, whatever.

Did you actually hear this or this some of that reddit BS again?
#FACTTruth. The four panel is so much better tho.

Honestly yeah. Skip everything from the RR and it was good. They showed the 5 star (yes sir) 3-way championship match and the Ramble itself. Just skip the Ramble. The championship match is worth seeing again because GOD IS REAL.

Match is going go be god awful, ugh. Every time they repeat it as the main event at WM31 i cry.
This is a subtle way of giving Reigns the streak push. Ah well, at least the crowd reactions for the next couple of weeks should be fun. I hope.

I don't mind the match. I don't mind Reigns winning the Rumble.
It was how they did it. They should have just left Bryan on the shelf until tonight. Boom. Problem pretty much solved. We were all ready for it until Bryan came back and we thought he might actually win instead.
friend ply, it's 3 hours of unconventional WWE programming
kick back, relax, grab a snack and enjoy

I didn't hear anything like that. Where did that come from?
I gotta say, I think the WWE should have people building up both sides way more often than they do. It makes Brock look worse if Heyman just shits all over the guy and then her to have a 25 minute match where he sells for him and likely loses. Commentary is incredibly bad about making everyone look bad because they shit on 75% of the roster, which does the remaining guys no good at all in the long term.
What Heyman did was masterful. He should be running classes on how to make your opponent sound like a million bucks while still getting across that you're going to absolutely decimate them and everything they love.

And while Heyman is doing his best to be a company man, Bryan is saying hey that should be me not this spoiled silver spooned brat. Love it.
I'd say so, and I've disliked the WWE product and have boycotted it since November. This was easily an 8/10 show. Re-watch the triple threat from Royal Rumble, fast forward through the actual Rumble, and watch the really well done interview segments, and baby, you're gonna believe that.

People forget Heyman carried Lesnar because Lesnar is believable as a monster and athletic.
When Heyman carried Big Show in late 2002 and half 2003, he couldn't save him, because he sucks.

It fucking sucks and you know it. I thought it was going to tell a story, like The Mania of WrestleMania did, but it's just a goddamn clip show.

Heel Show in ECW carried by Heyman was actually good. So yeah. Heyman even made Show good even if it took two tries.

Apparently if you have the volume high enough on good speakers you can hear Reigns being fed lines at moments where the audio didnt cut out

Reddit is saying Reigns had a good promo or did he just say three sentences without fucking up?
