I LOVED the "We Want Rusev" chants.

The man is a great monster heel, but WWE is already shitting on him by not making him fearless and win matches.

Again, Brock vs. Rusev would have been great. It really would have.

Not a Russia vs America Ass Thing

Just a Russian vs. Brock Fucking Lesnar thing.

Knowing that Cena is there to clean Rusev up pisses me off so fucking much.

Brock is over. Seth is over.

Why put Reigns in this?

I hope the crowd continues to cheer for Rusev during Reigns' crap.

Really, the only way to go forward is to turn Roman heel and have him beat a babyface Brock, then cut taunting promos about how he sent Brock packing.

Rusev vs Brock would've awesome. It would've been different. It would've been unexpected. Why this? And now we have a terrible WM main event and Rusev is going to get buried against Cena. Way to go.

The only way Vince will wake up and smell the coffee is if the fans will slowly stop supporting the product. I see it happening as time progress when companies like NJPW, ROH, and even Lucha Underground get more of a following leading to alternatives beyond the WWE. Until then, people will stay in tune on Mondays and bitch on Tuesday.

Yeah the lack of NXT was really stupid. Even one or two would be good, get Neville in there to do some cool shit so when he debuts people might recognise him for doing cool shit before. Unlike what happened with the Ascension where they drop them into the main roster while talking them up as top dogs.

Shitty fans?

The entire business of WWE relies on the fans.

The whole point is to sell them merch, get them to buy tickets, buy the pay-per-views, etc.

Nothing coming out of this will do that.

Terrible business decision all around.

My palate cleanser tonight has been NJPW on axs ep 3 and now PWG Black Cole Sun. The Rumble wasn't bad but Danielson not winning sucked ass. Tomorrow night should be interesting.

They should have just had Ambrose win after hearing the boo's for Roman during the match. Oh well, back to having Ambrose's talent being wasted...

Here are the options

• Continue to watch WWE. Even if you're a Roman fan, you know you didn't want to see him win like that. You don't want to see him pushed like this.
• Watch alternatives all of which are more readily available than ever before
• Watch old stuff
• Don't watch wrestling at all.

I still can't figure out what the storyline reason for the Rock being there is.

Yep. WWE will spin it as the audience having a voice.

The only way they could have really sent a message tonight is if a majority of the people there just got up and left after Bryan got eliminated rather than stay and boo.

No matter how much I don't like the results of an event, it doesn't give me the right to act like how the fans in Philly are, what with blocking exits and such.

Let's not act like every angry WWE fan isn't going to watch Monday Night Raw SuperShow tomorrow, buy tickets for live events, buy t-shirts at said live events, and fork over their $9.99 come March. History (as recent as last year WHEN THIS VERY SITUATION FIRST OCCURED) has shown us that WWE fans are all talk and no action. They bark loudly, but continue watching a product that they despise because they are lonely, gullible, and wouldn't know what to do with their lives without WWE in it.

Just because your fictional hero didn't win a carny event doesn't give you the right to act like a shithead.

I agree they are shitheads, but lets be real here, they are doing more than you and me by actually actively showing their dissatisfaction, not in the right way of course.

Exactly. Ratings are down, the Network is flopping all over the place, yet they CONSTANTLY shit on their fanbase and Vince books what HE wants, and doesn't give a fuck about the crowd.

Vince needs to fuck off or watch his company slowly take those final steps into the grave.

So Bryan's elimination, what purpose did it have? There were no shenanigans it was just another jobber eske elimination. Doesn't set up a storyline with anyone in my eyes. Let's see what happens on raw I guess?

Friends, if anything, I feel we will all be united come Wrestlemania and be ready for Roman to wield that torch with the fury of a thousand suns.

Rock being there is concrete proof that Vince knew how they would react, told them to fuck off, and did it anyway, he thought Rock would soften the blow and get Roman over somehow but that only worked for a minute

This is like when you pay to see a band and they play a whole set of an album no one cares about.

I just don't know why we got so little D. Bry. If he couldn't last till the end have him come out later.

Very baffling booking. I'd like to think there is some logic besides fuck you.

Hell over a 100 years old team of NAO opened up the Rumble. NAO in 2015. We are suppose to be booking these young stars to meet the moon, instead the Ascension became a prop for the older generation. The only old guy I was rooting for was DDP because it's DDP, and of course Bully Ray which he can still go to a certain extent.

My guess is that they wanted to get him eliminated early as they knew the crowd would not be happy and then hope they got over it as the rumble went on.

We know how that all turned out.

The right way, which will be completely ignored, involves not giving the WWE any money or attention. But that will never happen, because they, just like several posters in this very thread, are marks.

Only hope now is die Roman die and turn him full heel. They can't make this baby face shit work. It will be an extremely painful ride.

I'm surprised at people using NXT as a reason to stay subscribed. You mean the developmental program where you can get attached to the characters before they go to the show that you hate more than Macho hates Hogan? The program where the end-goal of it is to go to 'the main show'?

and we're all going to experience that painful ride together because you know this PG shit won't let a babyface like that turn heel.

That's not really how I look at it. It's an entertaining hour every week and I enjoy the matches, that's all. And good Specials, as well. Entertainment. I'm not too worried about the endgame. I wanna live in the now.
