"Hey Vince, everyone's talking about those guys over in uh, Japan. Kazoo China Wok and some other guy had a match and those twitter geeks won't shut up about it. How we gonna top it?"

"CENA VS ORTON GODDAMNIT."

Oh yeah, I thought Alvarez said they were going for a great match to close Mania this year after WK11.

 

[Toki767]

It just seems silly that if Cena is going to drop the title at Elimination Chamber to Wyatt anyway, why even give him the title?

 

[Skyward Sheep]

It's cute you think that Wyatt would main event WM if he had the belt.

It's never going to happen, obviously. But the announcers made a specific statements repeatedly that the winner would main event Wrestlemania. Hence why we'll probably get Cena/Orton, that's what draws the casuals.

 

[Kusagari]

I cannot see WWE ending Mania with Jericho/Owens or Orton/Bray.

Roman/Taker will end the show, whether it's for the title or not.

 

[Eanan]

Why the fuck did Goldberg kill Brock again , it makes no sense

cus hes no Roman and cant beat a 50 year old

 

[Discotheque]

I hope we get Shaq (C) vs Orton at WM.

You deserve it!

Shaq and Charles Barkley vs. the Wyatts (Orton and Bray)

full of delusional "you still got it" chants.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

enzo

And this! This was funny too hahaha

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Why the fuck did Goldberg kill Brock again , it makes no sense

It makes perfect sense. It builds on the "advantage" Goldberg has against Brock setting up WM.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

I hope to god Tye at least goes to SD.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Honestly, thinking about it I really think they might go for it. As cool as Wyatt in the WM main event would be, I can't see Vince pulling the trigger on it.

It would make about zero sense for Cena to take on Orton while Orton is still aligned with the Wyatt Family.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Vince did his job again.

He mad all y'all salty as ever..



Lol
You guys got

Work
Work
Work
Work
Worked

 

[shanafan]

So.

Many.

Jobbers.

Like not even Nakamura?! Seriously?

He got storylined injured at the NXT PPV last night.. he was never going to be in it.

 

[Wagram]

Wrestlemania these days is more about spectacle and cheap spots than it is about quality storytelling and wrestling. So much idiocy.

 

[The Faceless Master]

nine ninety nine

 

[Toki767]

I cannot see WWE ending Mania with Jericho/Owens or Orton/Bray.

Roman/Taker will end the show, whether it's for the title or not.

Goldberg/Lesnar will be the last match.

 

[Mechanized]

Taker looked wayyyy out of shape. I can't blame him though, he's old as shit, and it's not WM yet.

 

[Evening Musuko]

You know, I can take a Cena/Orton main event if I can get a heel Roman vs Taker.

It probably won't happen though.

 

[Simply Sami]

It just seems silly that if Cena is going to drop the title at Elimination Chamber to Wyatt anyway, why even give him the title?

Erm so he breaks the record.

 

[Professor Beef]

So.

Many.

Jobbers.

Like not even Nakamura?! Seriously?

He's in an injury angle, it'd make no sense for him to be there.

 

[VoxPop]

25 jobbers, Brock, Oldberg, Dadbod Taker, Orton and Reigns.

Is this officially the worst Rumble ever?

 

[Tall4Life]

You need to get your eyes checked

If you don't think the Rumble from 1-29 was god tier you need to get your eyes checked. So many awesome moments.

 

[Skyward Sheep]

It would make about zero sense for Cena to take on Orton while Orton is still aligned with the Wyatt Family.

This is WWE, zero sense is sort of their gimmick.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

This fucking company... Fitting Randy wins such a boring Royal Rumble.


Brock didn't get revenge and just walked away after getting eliminated, okay.

 

[Wagram]

Goldberg is gassing out and botching clotheslines. Do people really think he can close Wrestlemania? He's putting in less work than Rock did. He's making Rock look amazing in the ring.

 

[kirblar]

This is what we are getting for Mania, isn't it

Orton-Cena
KO-Jericho
HHH-Rollins
Undertaker-Reigns
Goldberg-Lesnar
Shaq-Big Show
Shane O Mac-AJ
Charlotte-Sasha 86
Wyatt-Harper

Orton/Wyatt has to be the plan.

Could we actually be getting Cena/Styles III at WM?

 

[ODDI]

Wasted potential
No Joe
No Balor
No Angle

 

[friskykillface]

This will always make me laugh , lol love it

 

[Toki767]

Erm so he breaks the record.

He didn't break a record though. He tied it.

Taker looked wayyyy out of shape. I can't blame him though, he's old as shit, and it's not WM yet.

He probably found out it was up to him to get Reigns over and just gave up training.

 

[Bronx-Man]

nine ninety nine yen

fixed that

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

It's never going to happen, obviously. But the announcers made a specific statement that the winner would main event Wrestlemania. Hence why we'll probably get Cena/Orton, that's what draws the casuals.

They usually have about 5 "main events" at Mania nowadays. We've had Rumble Winners who's "main event" matches fucking opened the show. It means nothing.

 

[Data West]

Taker looked wayyyy out of shape. I can't blame him though, he's old as shit, and it's not WM yet.

Only a year older than Goldberg who looks phenomenal

 

[NYR]

Why the fuck did Goldberg kill Brock again , it makes no sense

Because Goldberg is done after WM whereas Lesnar will still
be around so they got to push him. Can't have him lose and then Goldberg leaves, would make no sense.

 

[blackaroni]

Roman taking one for the team, and people still trying to hate. You think people will ever be happy, Uce?

Never! Amazing moment:

Cant wait for ROMAN to retire Taker at mania and shut all the haters up

Same.

But it was his yard though... 😔😔😔😔😔😔

Uce!!!! Where have you been?

 

[Rockandrollclown]

Also that did a really bad job of building to lesnar vs Goldberg. Why would I want to see that where apparently Goldberg is just way better than lesnar?

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Why the fuck did Goldberg kill Brock again , it makes no sense

It's to make the rest of the roster that Brock just single-handedly destroyed look like a million bucks.

 

[excelsiorlef]

It just seems silly that if Cena is going to drop the title at Elimination Chamber to Wyatt anyway, why even give him the title?

To get him to 16.

He's tied the record. Now he gets to beat it someday

 

[Angry Grimace]

This is WWE, zero sense is sort of their gimmick.

It's never going to happen, obviously. But the announcers made a specific statements repeatedly that the winner would main event Wrestlemania. Hence why we'll probably get Cena/Orton, that's what draws the casuals.

Probably WM / EC spoilers:

Spoiler

Except literally nobody had previously picked Orton to win except the guy whose been doing backstage reports for 30 years who said "Orton is winning to take on Bray."

 

[cLOUDo]

They put Roman in just to make sure Orton wouldn't be booed for eliminating Taker.

Randy Vs Cena
Reigns vs Taker

0 outta 5 Mania on the way.

And aj styles vs Shane

 

[The Albatross]

If they ever wanted to resuscitate Roman Reigns, having him eliminate the Undertaker and Chris Jericho, two of the biggest fan favorites in that match at #30, was not it. Reigns is a boring wrestler with a boring punch for a move. I'd like to like him but he hasn't improved at all in 4 years, is gassy on the mic, and is incredibly unpopular

Wonder if they stifled boos.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

He's in an injury angle, it'd make no sense for him to be there.

Man I didn't even watch Takeover. Then that's that.

Congrats Mr All Lives Matter, Randall Keith Orton.

I guess.

 

[darkside31337]

I can't believe people are still hating on Roman in 2017. Dude had a great night. And he didn't even win and people are still unhappy.

 

[imBask]

the lack of surprise entry once again proves my theory that Vince hates pops

WWE
hates
pops

 

[UberTag]

Oh yeah, I thought Alvarez said they were going for a great match to close Mania this year after WK11.

Rollins vs. Triple H will be a 7-star classic. Hunter's entrance will run for a full 25 minutes.
Many sledgehammer spots will be teased. And Steph will dress up in something ghastly after emasculating Conor McGregor earlier in the evening.

 

[Zabka]

Reigns retiring Taker might kill wrestling for me.

 

[JesseEwiak]

Anybody who expected Angle, Omega, Nakamura, or Balor to actually show up at #30 deserves their disappointment

 

[Heroman]

Wasted potential
No Joe
No Balor
No Angle

Angle was never going to be in the rumble , the body is fuckef

 

[Strangelove77]

That was really really really boring.

And hopefully Undertaker gets in shape for 'Mania because he didn't look great here.

 

[VoxPop]

If you don't think the Rumble from 1-29 was god tier you need to get your eyes checked. So many awesome moments.

Don't visit wrasslingaf so I don't know if you're their resident troll or not.

Glad you enjoyed it?

 

[ReiGun]

WWE: We really need to make new stars.

WWE to WWE: Make 90% of the roster look like geeks at one of the biggest events of the year then give the match to the guy whose been around since 2002.

 

[Ronin Ray]

Anyway we get AJ styles vs Orton at wm?
