Royal Rumble Rate Royal Rumble 2017

[Yuu]

then the countdown to the glorious #30 spot. Oh my god.... who could it be who could it be??? 3....2....1.....

....oh.

oh wow. THAT wasn't expected. We all expected the "unexpected" but then the real unexpected came out and TOTALLY killed the vibe. and then eliminated the undertaker??? what

I was like ... " Come on, who is it? After this shit it has to be someone really good and unexpected. Angle? Omega? Jeff hardy? Samoa Joe? Titus O' Jobber? ...... Oh.
Well, at least it was really unexpected " :laughing:

 

[WholeFN'Moe]

Shame isn't it? AJ will probably never get a legitimate win or main event at 'Mania.

Some where Kenny Omega just had a giant sigh of relief

 

[Solid Snake]

Didn't want to say it in the status BUT if the reddit guy mentioned in @Botchie Botcherson's status is for true... It was suposta be Finn and he wasn't cleared well enough. He was getting checked Saturday for clearance. With that being said... I am slightly less disappointed... Only slightly.

 

[Black Wizard]

Enzo did seem like a really, really weird entry seeing all of the people he came in around the same time as.

Finn woulda been cool to see.

 

[Grievous 3D]

Of the 8 free spots we got...

03). Discount Rey Mysterio ~ Kalisto (1)
05). The English Gentleman ~ Jack Gallagher (2)
06). Perverted Candy Bar ~ Mark Henry (3)
10). Perfect 10 ~ Tye Dillinger (4)
11). E.T. ~ James Ellsworth (Carmella Cameo)(5)
22). The Human Shark ~ Apollo Crews (6)
27). Talk Box ~ Enzo (7)
30). Boring Pains ~ Roman Reigns (8)

I have to admit...besides Tye Dillinger...that is a really sad list...
especially compared to some ideas and lists that were posted
on this very forum.

No Joe, Balor, Charlotte, Rowan, Angle, Tyler Bate, SAni†Y members,
Kendricks, Rollins, Styles, Sin Cara or Kane.

No Kane? are you kidding me? So Mark Henry and Big Show get a run...
but Glen Jacobs doesn't get to enter his 20th career Rumble.

May-be we all expected too much...

It was great to see Brock get bitched by Goldberg again...I did enjoy that...

Do any Brock fans need any tissues again? I still
have a few boxes leftover after Survivor Series...lol

I thought the same

IMO it doesn't make sense at all ...
6 months ago Lesnar looked like a monster, now he looks like a pathetic bitch.
Meanwhile Oldberg, "the biggest return of 2016", can stay in a ring for 5 minutes at most, giving only spears and jackhammers.

Great minds think alike...

I know...its great isn't it...I wish they showed a shot
of Heyman crying like a little bitch in the back...lol

 

[Mr. Roman Empire]

Ya know, I mean it's obvious they are setting up Bray vs Randy for Wrestlemania. But Im really having a hard time believing that they are gonna take the belt off of Cena in just 2 weeks at Elmination Chamber. Does anyone else feel this way?

 

[Travs]

The event itself was going great before the Rumble. Owens and Reigns had a great match, AJ and Cena blew it out of the park.

But that Rumble....

First of all, has anyone mentioned that Roman Reigns should not have actually been in the match? He nearly won the Universal Title earlier in the night, so he could have easily gone into the rumble as the champ of things had gone differently.

But there were no surprise entrants whatsoever. Spots were wasted on Kalisto, Ellsworth and don't even get me started on the whole Enzo situation. What a total waste of a spot that seemed perfect for someone like Joe or literally anyone rumoured to be in it.

And then here comes Vincent Kennedy McMahon's pet project at the final entrant, who comes in and eliminates the people who deserved to win the rumble when he shouldn't have even been in it. Pathetic.

Jericho should've won, he looked like he would have, but good old Super Cena V2 ruins the whole night.

I sort of disagree. I mean Lesnar came in the ring and completely destroyed like 7 people in the ring. He crushed them so bad that none of them could get up for minutes. A pathetic bitch couldn't do that.

It's obvious that the ONLY person Lesnar has a problem with is Goldberg. I honestly don't think that makes him look like a bitch at all. I think in the first match, he underestimated Goldberg. Honestly, I think he underestimated him again. Lesnar and Heyman were of the mind that they ONLY reason Goldberg beat Lesnar was because Lesnar underestimated him. When you think about it, that admission alone was a form of underestimation. He was just so convinced he was going to destroy Goldberg this time.

We all know we're getting Goldberg vs Lesnar at WrestleMania. So, WWE has to try and make this match interesting. Most people thought Lesnar would win at the Survivor Series. He didn't and he got crushed. Then we thought Lesnar would get some measure of revenge at the Rumble. And he got owned. I think this is being done to give people doubt that Lesnar will actually win the match. I think they're just trying to give credibility to Goldberg to really make us wonder what they are going to do with the WrestleMania match.

Honestly, I've been enjoying Lesnar getting owned by Goldberg. It's different and entertains me more than just having Lesnar own everyone over and over.

The only way could be Aj Styles screwing Cena someway during the EC.
Cena lose the belt and go to wm for the third and last match against him.

It does seem strange...but WWE has had worse and stranger booking decisions in the past...

 

[Snowman1]

Whew... well... that was a thing.

I've only watched the Rumble right now but honestly... I was quite entertained overall. Never really a dull moment for the first 24 entrants...

Shame those really didn't matter because... I've tried defending this. Yeah. Part timer mania. They've gotta use these guys to get attention. But... It really felt like the entire finishing sequence (25-30) was all you needed to see. Nothing else really mattered. Lesnar just runs in and buttfucks everyone's world and eliminates SD pseudo-main eventers like jabronis before Goldberg throws him out like yesterday's news, then Undertaker is the only one who can stand a chance against Goldberg who looked absolutely exhausted out there and OH SNAP IT'S THE BIG DOG!!!!!!!!!.....

Please. WWE. Sure you want to make Roman the guy. Yes, you're dumb. But are clearly owning said dumbness by now. That being said, you can push Roman while not making the entire rest of your full-time roster look like such complete garbage. So sick of this.

Hell looking back on it I'm trying to remember which spots I remember being really cool before then... There was the New Day elimination! That was sweet! And the whole deal to eliminate the abominable Strowman was cool and all too. Wish Sami had done it on his own but thems the breaks. OH! Harper! Luke Harper's attack on Bray was sweet! And Tye's entrance... kinda felt like small potatoes. Again it wasn't too bad overall I didn't think but... I wasn't left remembering anything. Was this the longest Pringles match ever? Have I just accepted that as the norm?

My natural response was to be SOOOOO happy that Randy won the Rumble. It was a great way to get the guy over as a face after Roman's entire stay in the ring had this uneasy feeling about it. Randy winning was a pleasant surprise, and after the Four Horsemen obliterated the rest of the active roster, at least someone who's there won....... to face Wyatt or Cena at Wrestlemania....... hell at least the Wyatt match will pay off a storyline, that's good!!!
