I absolutely loved all the matches other than the main event, they made a big mistake that night. Would of been great to see Reigns, Daniel Bryan or CM Punk win the Royal Rumble instead of Batista. Batista is a main event wrestler and can main event Wrestlemania without the need of winning a Rumble match. Overall I'm going to give it 5/10. Bray/Bryan was probably the match of the night.

7/10
Not a bad Pay-Per-View really. New(kinda) tag team champions, Lesnar destroying Big Show, Wyatt looking like a serious threat by going over Bryan and Roman breaking Kane's record for most eliminations in a Rumble match.
: Not bad.

Oh, this show. The pre-show was pretty good, I marked sooo hard for the Outlaws to win the titles. That was great. The opener was an awesome match, simply put, and Wyatt winning clean was great. The heel simply catching the babyface and hitting his finisher to win in the middle of the ring is sweet. Lesnar/Show I figured was going to suck, but WWE did it in such a way it didn't, they did it quick and Brock looked like a monster. So far it was a massive thumbs up, and I remember before Cena/Orton started I said it'd be great if the crowd did it like they did in NJ, and for a while they did. The match was boring but the crowd saved half of it. The 2nd half was bad, and the finish pissed me off because it kinda set in stone that Cena would beat Wyatt at WM and that Batista was going to win the RR. The Rumble match, besides Reigns, was pretty underwhelming. There were only two surprises (Nash and JBL), why does WWE fill the Rumble with low carders and tag teamers no one cares about instead of putting more surprise entrants? Well, anyway. At least we're getting Rhodes/Goldust this time, and when Punk was eliminated I rage quit. Pathetic that DB wasn't even in the match, Rey as #30 is ridiculous. As Rain said, first two matches (and pre show) were great, the last two sucked in many levels.
6/10 WWE blew it with the rumble match, i like the fact Roman broke Kane's record but where the fuck was Bryan, when number 30 came out and it was Rey I was just like "fuck this", Batista winning was a big dissapointment.
Garbage ppv apart from the Bryan vs Wyatt. Rumble was pretty dull, no DB and just a predictable outcome. Cena vs Orton was just very shitty and poorly booked. 4/10
6.5
Bryan/Wyatt was great
Lesnar raping Show was enter-taining, them chair shots were dope, legit thought Show screwed up his arm
Didn't watch Cena/Orton, Didn't care, Orton won whatever.. Oh wait, I skimmed through to the end actually, just in time for Wyatt to interfere; Cena/Wyatt @ WM30? Hmmm.
Then the RR finally begins:..................................................................................................................................................................
Sandow eliminated 1st; Meh, kinda stupid, but no one really cares so go figure
Kingston spot was cool, spot monkey yet again giving the RR one of its few great moments
Sheamus returns; FUCK YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!
Rusev from NXT making a statement; Was enjoyable I suppose, nothing to great, Reminds me of Umaga but a slightly better work, needs work NXT work, but I'll think he'll do cool stuff on the main roster in 6-8 months time.
Kevin Nash: I know Aids marked, but what I thought during his return; "He can still walk??" "Don't eliminate The Shield you prick" "God, If this tears a quad..."
JBL: NOT EVEN A CLOTHESLINE IN HELL!! God-fuckingdamn-it..
Returns were overall terrible!
CM Punk was doing a Sting, the guy is being a complete dickwad lately;his work-rate is gooseshit and was in a way relieved when he was eliminated, though this angle feels so much like HBK's in 2006.
The Shield one of the few shining lights of this Rumble, Their breakdown was greatly acted out, fallout will be tremendous I'm sure. Reigns went one step closer tonight to making me a big fan of his, I think him winning the Rumble would have to much to soon for him anyway....Thank God he at least got to break the record.
No.30 Not Daniel Bryan went a treat with the fans. I love Mysterio, did as a kid atleast, but that was then! Now, he should be retired.. Sad that Mysterio was booed, not really his fault, but sadly there was no HHH or McMahon to boo at, so Mysterio took the bullets.
Batista winning doesn't necessarily irritate, I even said in a thread made before the RR that I didn't...but the crowd was so passionate and THEN the way Batista retaliated was disgraceful....Batista is already starting to make me regret his return, his stupid burial tweets, his crappy ass return and then THIS! Well... at least @DK James can benefit from this.
That rumble could potentially be the worst ever, probably isn't but for this millennium, it is w/out a doubt, I can't even debate it.......
To me though, the MOTN was WWE vs WWE Universe; The Universe fucking burying the WWE...
Bryan/Wyatt was great

Bry/Bray - 8/10
A great start to the PPV. Marked for that ending with the two Sister Abigails. Wyatt can be the top heel for sure. He's surprisingly athletic for his build. More of his matches should be without Harper and Rowan, who can detract from the action. Crowd loved it.
1min 54seconds - 5/10
It did everything it was supposed to do: put Brock over. Some were complaining that it was a cop-out but Survivor Series showed that Big Show can't work good matches anymore. He's basically done. Disappointed not to see a creative F5 spot though.
Biggest rematch in history of WWE - 4/10
Orton and Cena have no chemistry whatsoever in the ring together, but this was one of their better matches. Crowd absolutely shat on it to the point where Orton looked like he was about to cry. Wyatt involvement gained +2 points. Seriously, I never want to see these two in the same segment together, let alone another match.
RR (Roman Reigns) Match - 6/10
I actually thought this Rumble match was better than the past couple, and I'll probably watch it again multiple times. From entrant 1 to like 18, it was very solid and well played out. You could see storylines progressing as well as entertainment. Punk and Rollins, who went 48 mins each, kept it going nicely. Kevin Nash and JBL were decent enough surprise entrants. Sheamus' return went well. Rusev will be up there with Ambrose and Wyatt as WWE's top heel in a few years. Loved Miz getting the Paul London clothesline spot. Yeah, the ending was predictable and bullshit admittedly. Rey coming in at 30 was such a bad move. If it's not Bryan then at least make it someone people care about to lessen the blow.
Overall - 5/10.

8/10. Loved everything besides Reigns losing to Batista. Also skipped Boreton/Cena match. But overall, I enjoyed it, cause it was my first royal rumble!
Everything was good except the title match, so I give it a 7/10
Btw: Reigns is hot as hell

It would have been so much better if they had openly trolled the fans with Bad News Barrett coming out as #30

I think sending out Rey's old ass was about as blatant a troll job as WWE could have pulled at that point. Had Barrett come out and started shooting on Batista, Sheamus, and all the other fucks in the ring, the crowd would have been praising him rofl.

If he'd gone off on Bryan and the fans he'd have got heat for sure. But yeah, that crowd would have marked their tits off for anything anti-Batista lol
