No I wouldn't. Outside of the outcome of the Rumble being predictable, the rest of the matches were solid and entertaining from my perspective. If they want to cancel it after one PPV then let them.

I just stated that I don't support cancelling my subscription over this bro. I do support fans booing when they wanted a certain star to either win or do better than he did....clearly WWE made a mistake and the fans responded. Again, if he was in the top 4, at a minimum, wouldn't have been as bad. You need to read my whole post, not parts.

Roman Reigns is 29....he has tons of time as well...I can use the same argument ;) yes, it's a dumb idea to eliminate him early....we are in agreement. I'm not in agreement with the fact that you feel fans booing the rumble is stupid. It's not and they have every right to do so. It was bs and they screwed up big time.

No one has forgotten DB successes at all. I think we sometimes also fail to realize that DB was shot down all throughout 2013 by Orton and the Authority. Only to make it to the Rumble, not compete in the match, and then lose to Bray the same night. They only decided to throw Bryan in Mania because Batista didn't go over well as a face and Punk was gone. He was a filler that worked out. They still tried to make him out to be nothing is my point, much like they're clearly doing again :)

You make some good points and I get your logic, but you're missing keys elements as well.

I don't understand how the people who wanted Bryan to win are the "only" fans. I'm pretty sure some of us wanted Reigns to win and surprisingly, some of us were satisfied with the PPV.

As for Reigns being 29, you'd rather them have a developed Daniel Bryan beat Lesnar rather than an upcoming Roman Reigns? Makes no sense to me. So no, it's not really the same argument. He wasn't shot down all of 2013, he was the main focus of that time until Wrestlemania. I think people fail to realize that. (Excluding a mini feud with Bray)

So lets say WWE did change the storyline in favor for Bryan. Does that mean they should do it every time, because I hell as don't want to see a fucking pre-planned outcome change because of salty fans that can't taking some booking decisions. If it was REALLY bad, I would complain, but it wasn't. Some of the shit WWE does is stupid, but Reigns winning IMO wasn't one of them.

never once said that we're the only fans. I would've preferred Bryan winning. However, didn't mind the Reigns win. Just didn't want my boy belittled as he was.

As of right now, yes I'd rather have DB fight Brock at Mania. That's like saying you wouldn't have wanted Stone Cold pushed several times when he was way over with the fans...of course I wanted him pushed. I think that because DB's reign was cut short and he's still very popular, he should be the one to fight Brock. Again, don't mind Roman, just prefer DB. Plus, DB would make a much better match. And it really is the same argument. You argued age and so did I. lol, bro watch all of the main events in 2013 where DB headlined....he was always shot down. Except for the one time he fought CEna.

Not every time....but DB winning at the Rumble again isn't the end of the world is it? Never said Reigns winning was bad...geesh.

Reigns is nowhere near the level of D-Bry, yet after they tried to fuck D-Bry over last year (but The YES Movement happened), they decided to put Reigns in the main event again? This is hoping that Reigns isn't boo'd heavily and improves a lot by then and can put on a great main event match with Lesnar. Hoping. Bryan has the talent and experience, he didn't get his proper title run and now he doesn't get to wrestle in what would be the match most people want to see because it would be one of the best professional wrestlers in the world against The Beast Incarnate - this is a once in a lifetime kind of match, Bryan vs Lesnar. The only time it would've happened and Vince opts to try and salvage Reigns.

1. Okay, so that's really just favoritism in your end.

2. So his push was cut short. Lets say if he got injured again, what would we do? Make the same thing go on at next years Rumble and have shitty fans complain again? I never said "Main Event" I said "Main Focus". Two different things. And once again, favoritism.

3. Never did I imply you said it, but you're basing it off favoritism, I'm basing it off booking.

More personal preference, I guess you can word it as "favoritism." Same thing you have for roman.

Lol injuries?? For one, triple h has torn both quads and been out for months and still had huge returns and won 13 championships. So the injuries argument is silly. But, again, even if he did get injured again... So what? Doesn't mean we need an exact repeat of wrestlemania... But having him win the rumble shouldn't be out of the question either.

Booking huh? No favorites? Hmmm DB and Brock or reigns and Brock... I think the fans have spoken that they'd rather have DB... And I agree with that. But don't mind roman.. I think it's more favoritism on ur half as well.

You can say it's favoritsm on my end if you want, but I'm looking at what they did to deserve being the Rumble winner. I provided statistics of his booking while you used "He never had a proper run."

How does that qualify into being a reason he deserves to win the Rumble? How does losing to Bray Wyatt equal on deserving to win the Rumble? Since when did we focus on five star wrestling to decide on who wins the Rumble? Weren't people cheering for Roman last year and Ryback the year before? We watched shitfest matches with John Cena and The Rock, but apparently Roman Reigns isn't ready based off one or two lazy crowds and because his Mic work isn't amazing. Also, tell me more about Rollins amazing microphone work, because even though he's improved, he's not what I expect.

<3 Your sig is awesome btw

I like Daniel Bryan but I don't think a loss at the Rumble is going to hold him back. Just because he doesn't get a title shot right away doesn't mean he's not going to get one soon. He's the ultimate underdog and the WWE seems to love to play to that role with him and the fans. Certainly this year I can see him involved in many title matches. But, like Rollins and Reigns, there's new young talent that deserves to showcase their abilities on the main stage and demonstrate if they can be staples in this company for years to come. They couldn't just drop everything they were working on with other wrestlers the moment Bryan came back. I'm sure DB will have his moment again.

You're looking at what they did to deserve it? Well then DB is clearly the winner there. What statistics?

Ummm what makes anything qualify for a reason to win the rumble? A lot can be the determining factor for that reason. I already made a list in another thread as to why DB deserves it and I can repeat it if you'd like. There's not just one reason. I named just one. There's several.

I focus on five star wrestling to decide who should win a lot of things?... Why shouldnt I? Plus, DB is also better on the mic than Roman. Yes people were chatting for roman last year and they have cheered for roman, but not as much as they've cheered more for DB (so because they cheered for roman he deserves to win the rumble?).

I don't mind reigns being in the main event bro. I would still prefer DB, again.

I never based it off "two lazy crowd"....and by "lazy" I'm sure you mean not marking for your long haired superman boy huh? ;)

They were "lazy" because they wanted DB instead of roman. Wwe continues to push talented people over really talened people. DB is really talented. Reigns needs some work. Again, don't mind him winning but DB was clearly the better option.
