Royal Rumble Mick Foley upset with the Rumble

lmfao how I imagined @Adam. after the end.

So what's the problem on that front? I can see being pissed that DB didn't show up, which resulted in the crowd turning on the RR match, but outside of that the PPV was good and people are really off base with their criticism. Had DB been a RR match participant the decision to give Batista the Rumble wouldn't look so bad I don't think.

Its like people knew Batista was probably going to win, but somehow the reality of it was much worse than the idea. I "blame" the fans, not that I care that they buried Batista, but if they weren't so butt hurt about DB looking to wreak havoc on the situation people probably wouldn't be *quite* so cold on the situation. just a theory.

So you're gonna tell me that Reigns losing had nothing to do with the fans being pissed? Ok, fine, I respect your opinion.

Yes, I'm going to put a brick through my TV. It's just going to have to wait until tomorrow. I had every intention of putting a brick through my TV tonight, after seeing that Daniel Bryan was not even entered in the Royal Rumble match, let alone going to win the thing. But, upon seeing their dad with a brick in his hand, my younger children got a little bit scared, thinking their dad had lost his mind. A rather spirited debate about the wisdom of following through on the promise to put a brick through my TV ensued with my wife - and, as is usually the case in marital debates, I, being the husband, did not emerge victorious. Honestly, the points she made about mercury and glass fragments everywhere were pretty good ones.

But I'm still going to put a brick through my TV. It's just going to have to wait until tomorrow - when the kids are in school, and I can take the TV outside the house for the actual throwing of the brick. Granted, it's not nearly as dramatic as doing it live, right after the Rumble, but at least I will be keeping my word.

As I mentioned on Twitter, I've never felt so disgusted at the conclusion of a WWE (or any) PPV. Like many of you out there, I just don't get it. This Daniel Bryan thing is a phenomenon. You get it. I get it. The fans in Pittsburgh (yes, I was thinking of writing "RIGHT TH...but I'm just not in a cheap pop mood) got it. But tonight, for the first time, I had to admit to myself that the powers that be are just not going to get it. And that makes me sad. I'm just honestly sad, just flat out fucking sad (yes, I dropped an F-bomb there to emphasize how F'ing sad I am for the guys who bust their butts night in and night out - Ziggler, Punk, Bryan, etc - with no hope of getting their shot at this year's Mania.

You know who else I'm sad for? Me. In my two years as an official WWE Ambassador, I never once had to lie about my enthusiasm for the company or the product. Now, although I am no longer officially an Ambassador for WWE (believe it or not, my only official role in WWE is as GM for Saturday Morning Slam, a contract that ends in one month) I was till looking forward to being part of the biggest event of the year. I'll probably end up going anyway. But I'm about 1/6th as excited about it as I was just a few hours ago. I wanted so badly to hear 75,000 WWE fans chanting "YES" - and seeing fans walk away absolutely ecstatic about the outcome of a PPV for the first time in a while...a long while. But when given the chance to make it happen (unless they've got something MAJOR up their sleeve) WWE's answer tonight was a resounding "NO, NO, NO". @Dolph'sZiggler even a Ziggy shout

GOAT RANT

Adam is pathetic lol. He is the exact type of mark ass mark that Vince wa strolling tonight by not sending DBry's happy ass out at #30

Obviously at that point they would have popped for a Reigns victory, but wtf was supposed to happen, Reigns and Batista were going to change the ending because they could tell the crowd was going to bury the scripted finish? I'm just saying if DB had shown up the fans wouldn't have buried big Dave nearly to the degree they did.

Don't have a problem with adam I just hate the markness in general. People who say they're done with the company after their dude doesn't win and don't actually focus on the overall quality on the matches, just if their dude won.

I think if Dave eliminated DB the reaction would be much..... much worse.

 

[Butters!]

Woah...

Nobody said he had to be the one to eliminate him. Sheamus could have done it to set up their WM match that I'm starting to think might actually happen.

I'm more hypothetically speaking rather than insisting. The Sheamus vs D-Bry match is pretty much definite and I'm waiting to see how it'll be set up.

I disagree, see senhor's theory.

Ok. Read it. Like it. But that's not my point. I'm saying there would be a much worse reaction if it were DB and Dave in the same situation as Reigns and Dave. Not trying to change anything that happened in the match. No new theories. No heel turns. Nothing. Same original occurance.

Hard to tell how the crowd would have reacted since the entire reason they turned on the match was because they had built themselves up to see D Bry and then he didn't come. The presence of D Bry changes the entire complexion on how things could have gone down reaction-wise. They might have still been disappointed, but not as pissed off. Then again the crowd was never on Batista's side, as they boo'd even going back to Flair predicting him as the winner. Flair was 4/4 on his picks btw, what a beast.
