The Rock has never won a rumble, and Batista has only won one.
So if that was a legit botch, how the hell was the spot suppose to go? I can't see Batista doing an athletic recovery spot at all.

Isn't that like every face-heel program in the WWE these days?
Heels always spout honesty and stay tight with their faction buddies while the faces are all pompous blowhard jerks who break the rules and get away with it.

It's 2015 and people still think Daniel Bryan is the end-all be-all of an entire industry.

you should post more
Stop making up lies goddammit!No, Big Show was in the process of dumping him out of the ring, but Rock grabbed the top rope, Big Show fell out of the ring and both of Show's feet hit the ground. Big Show later found footage showing that the Rock's feet touched first while Show was still in mid-air.
This manipulated image is not the truth.

I had always sort of assumed that a double elimination was never supposed to happen, and that they just lucked out that it looks like both landed at the same time.... as long as you weren't really paying attention.

It was suppose to be just Batista powerbombing Cena but something went wrong and they both went careening into the ropes like that.
I do wonder if they didn't plan for John Cena to be in the WM21 WWE Title match at that point, though. I mean, if both him and Batista were suppose to be in world title matches at 'Mania, then why didn't they just go with it and have them be co-winners instead of having Vince run out there, tear his quads and restart the match?
^^^ In the RR OT.
2 feet only. Meaning a hell Zach Gowan should come back and win it by taking off his fake leg.
vince paid the price for batista's sins too
good guy vince always looking out for his talent

Yall are fools who don't remember how great Rock vs. Brock 1 was. Look at this shit. That shit was so far ahead of its time, and I can't wait to see what sort of innovative stuff they come up with next.

I always thought that spot was planned. So Vince's run-out and knees giving out could have all been avoided if they had just changed a spot to avoid Batista not being the most flexible?

it varies from year to year just like the rules for a MITB cash in depending on whatever mood Vince is in

it would be worth it if when Rock inevitably tears a muscle, Brock just rips his limb off and eats it

That fucking finish. For all of Rock's training, he couldn't overcome the Aryan power of Lesnar.
I had already moved on to Ultimate at this point, but outside of cutting in footage of The Rock holding on to a handshake with Hollywood Hogan as an example of utilizing grip strength, this is absolutely fantastic. Thank you for sharing, dream.

Yeah, it's another story with Cena at the top of the card, but seriously fuck that guy for messing up what Wyatt had going last year. Bray could have been a made monster, but nope.

I like how how they have Brock standing on something to make him look a fair bit taller than the Rock. It doesn't mix very well with WWE's already exaggerated heights.
EDIT: Okay I guess not so much in the few couple times they go to the face to face part but at the end it looks like Brock grew a little taller, maybe it was just the angle.

You have to remember that even Macho Man Randy Savage had to use two hands in order to contain Hogan's grip, while Rock only needs one. It's that kind of subtlety that really lets you know that not only was Savage not as strong or as great as The Rock, but also that Savage was wrong in regards to Elizabeth.
Hey guys, I think Beef and I's beef is beginning to come to an end...
YOU MOTHERFUCKER!

Cena ruins everything and everyone. He hasn't "made" anyone. Even all his loses have asterisks next to them.

Or actually, since Hulk Hogan. Ya' know, the beloved hero who beat up women, broke up marriages, and used back rakes in his comeback?

HHH/Sting sounds so stupid. Why do people like that?
It just doesn't look like it gels well.
I wish Harper would replace Kane and fight Sting for the Authority instead.

Fuck, these assholes better not make Rock win the Rumble because they got him. Then again I can't put anything past these carnies.
Because at least HHH can carry Sting's ass to a good match.

The only other Sting Mania match ever even entertained was Sting/Taker. At least here, one of the two is somewhat mobile.
Because based on HHH's accent that he uses when he talks about The Vigilante, HHH thinks he's a god damn mob boss from a Batman comic, and it's going to be hilarious.

It's...kinda nice to have such uncertainty in who is gonna win the Rumble.

Why bother using the Rumble match to elevate anyone if you'll give a win to someone who'd be a main event draw on the marquee wrestling anyone on the card?
Seems like EXACTLY the kind of stupid thing Vince would do.

Suddenly, Roman winning the rumble doesn't seem so bad anymore.
Because if Sting has to fill a spot, may as well be with someone that can carry it.

Clearly this was the plan. Masterful psychology.
Now we want Roman to win. Vince gets his way once again.
Nah, unless it involves a heel turn or huge increase in promo/wrestling, Reigns is the worst option.

Wrong. Bo Dallas will make a surprising run to the final four by hiding in the corner and telling everyone as they are eliminated that they just needed to...

It'll be interesting. I think the majority would cheer him winning.

I agree. Reigns over Rock for sure.
The Rock does not need to fucking win the rumble.
