Roman's demise means great things for Team Seth-kun though. I can't wait for that cash-in.

 

[Foffy]

Worst Rumble match ever. It fell off when Bryan was eliminated. Then it became clear Roman "suffering succotash" Reigns would win.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

All these people showed up and gave vince their money. So he still wins. Who gives a shit that the crowd doesn't care? Everyone will tune in tomorrow and the next monday and the next monday. blah blah. at least their EPS is shitacular these days.

Yup. The crowd is just a part of the show now. Kids will tune in and buy merch because kids like it in the way we all liked it as kids. Smarks will tune in and sub to the network because they want to hate fuck the WWE. That's why I said it's so fascinating. The crowd has sort of become a character in this drama. I don't think Vince really worries about losing them.

 

[Slizeezyc]

Fucking hilarious somebody post more of that catgirl

The last nice thing I do for Vince.

 

[Doberu]

Damn. 2013 Cena won. 2014 Batista Won 2015 Roman won.
So bad!

 

[UberTag]

Brock Lesnar, Seth and Cena was the BEST thing out of the whole event. Love to watch that match again!

Fixed that for you. Everything else you said is bang on.

 

[Toki767]

The sad thing about all of this is that despite everyone saying this is what would happen if Bryan got eliminated, the people in charge of WWE still didn't see this coming.

 

[reptilescorpio]

They fucked it up so badly. What a train wreck. I was actually enjoying it until Bryan came in.

Even Rock looked like, "Well fuck, this was a total waste of my rub".

 

[ramoisdead]

Were they chanting "We want refunds" or "We want Rusev"?

Both. Based Philly.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

So what ate we realistically looking at? Reigns doesn't beat lesnar but hurts him bad enough for Rollins to cash in?

 

[Trigger Warning]

 

[The Elite]

Interesting that Rock is out there with Reigns, since Reigns being forced on everyone as the top babyface reminds of how they did the same thing with Rocky when he debuted. They will never learn.

Rock isn't a good example as he worked out in the best possible way. They aren't even remotely comparable.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Anyone actually not going to watch tomorrow? Just refuse to watch it, OK?

Axel swerve tomorrow

 

[Serpentine]

long term booking brehs

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Is that how Rumble ends? Don't they have time left?

 

[thepotatoman]

Someone earlier was asking why everyone wanted D-Bry to win when it was the most expected thing.

This is the answer. The most expected thing was Reigns winning, and no one wanted to see that. Sure you can't go overboard with giving random people huge wins just because it's unexpected, but man, WWE is really lacking in ever doing anything unexpected.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Good gif for his reaction,

 

[Discotheque]

lmao. that moment when even the rock realizes he can't sway all crowds.

 

[TimeEffect]

Crowd even booed Rock.

Crowd cheered Rusev. I would have loved Rusev

 

[Paracelsus]

Last year everyone was angry because Roman loses
This Year everyone is angry because Roman Wins


LOL

Not really. Last year Reigns was the lesser of two evils, he still sucks.

 

[ultron87]

Reigns didn't even do much during the match or "look strong". Ugh.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

I don't get it. Last Royal Rumble we were all ready for Reigns to go solo and we're excited and whatever. Now a year later all of a sudden people are pissed? What?

Plenty of us saw this coming from the very beginning with the Shield and how they would constantly put over the least talented member.

 

[darkside31337]

Really hope Axel comes out to start Raw tomorrow claiming he won.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Axel still in it guys!

 

[Uno Venova]

Fuck the WWE. I will never watch it again. See you all tomorrow night.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

The sad thing is that yea Reigns has a shitload of potential. The guy just isn't ready yet. Yet Vince is trying his damndest to shove him down everyone's throats and it's going to backfire like with Cena. Cena was liked and not ready yet and then bam Vince started shoving him down everyone's throats and he has never gotten over with anyone but children and chicks who think he's hot since.

 

[RBH]

Stone Colds first question to HHH next week should be "Is Vince out of touch?"

.

 

[canadian crowe]

Rusev vs Cena at Mania. That will be okay.

 

[MPW]

So what ate we realistically looking at? Reigns doesn't beat lesnar but hurts him bad enough for Rollins to cash in?

roman is winning at wm

 

[Officerrob]

The look on Rock's face says everything

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Here comes the Cena/Rusev feud. Just in time for 'Mania.

 

[RP912]

I pretty much wasted 2 hours and some change when I could have spend it on a NJPW match and The Crew session. Holy shit what a disaster. I think I'm over this WWE thing for good.

 

[UberTag]

Time to kickstart the Cena-Rusev feud in the Rumble post-show.
Rusev will soon be buried.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Rusev vs. Cena confirmed.

 

[Bowser]

Rusev Cena staredown on the post show just now

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

DAFUQ

 

[crimzonflame]

Who are you guys to decide if Reigns is ready for the main event or not? Truly Vince knows what hes doing.

 

[TheChits]

Here comes the Cena/Rusev feud. Just in time for 'Mania.

FUCK. Well rip Rusev

 

[friskykillface]

Bring back goldberg

 

[Alex Anderson]

Vince is retarded. Great booking you old sack of shit

 

[SmithnCo]

They should not have had Bryan in the Rumble if they wanted to get Roman over.

Especially in PHILLY. What the hell were they thinking.

 

[slightconfuse]

Nice knowing you RUSEV

 

[Toki767]

Reigns didn't even do much during the match or "look strong". Ugh.

That's every Reigns match.

 

[abstract alien]

Fuck the WWE. I will never watch it again. See you all tomorrow night.

Pretty much.

 

[s_mirage]

WTH was with that Rusev ending?

I too feel kind of bad for Reigns. It's not his fault that Vince is clueless these days.

 

[Alucard]

So, Rusev and Cena already being primed for Mania.

 

[Coop]

blue pants lol

 

[Ithil]

Oh boy, Rusev will be losing to Cena.

I don't get it. Last Royal Rumble we were all ready for Reigns to go solo and we're excited and whatever. Now a year later all of a sudden people are pissed? What?

"All of a sudden"? Did you miss the entirety of 2014? Last year Reigns was a well protected team member and more important NOT Batista, who the crowd hated. He was Rusev, basically.

Since then he's shit the bed as a solo guy while getting a total megapush.

 

[Angry Grimace]

The match itself being worse than Mizdow's tag team match didn't help. And you know you're in shit when Rock isn't doing shit to improve your crowd's mood.

 

[Chamber]

Philly is such a shithole. They boo every fucking thing on planet earth. Good for Reigns, I think him and Brock will have a great physical match at Mania.

Name a great Roman Reigns singles match, friend.
