Ric Flair Unhappy That WWE “Broke Tradition” At WrestleMania 39

[Chris]

off top of my head , fairly certain Orton won the rumble and did NOT headline vs Bray

It's not even worth naming them all, most of the 2010s winners did not go on last I'd be willing to bet

Taker in 07 (was cena/HBK right?)
Cena in 08
Edge in 2010
Del Rio in 11
Sheamus in 12

You are correct, 2010 and onward some did main event, but most were in the middle, or second to last match. Sheamus won and had a 18 second match, lmao

Taker in 07 (was cena/HBK right?)

Yeah, it was Cena v Shawn

 

[Chris]

HBK also didn't main event in 1995 bc they had Lawrence Taylor

The match that killed anything Bam Bam had going for him

There’s like a dozen cases of the Rumble winner not going on last.

At this point, Ric Flair doesn’t need a platform anymore

Hey now that's no way to talk to 2023 JCP main eventer

You mean the man that passed out mid match

Honestly, I will disagree with this. Not cause I think Bam Bam shouldn't have had more. I think that was Bam Bam's ceiling in WWE at that point. Vince was looking for his next Hogan, at that point in time and Bam Bam definitely doesn't fit that mold to say the least. Bam Bam should have been booked harder, hell I don't even think Bam Bam sniffed any IC contendership and that was when the IC belt was actually booked decently strong.

Hmm yeah I think I agree too, I think Bam Bam's momentum was already killed prior sadly. I think he was so severely misused the entire first half of the 1990s after how fucking awesome his late 80s stuff was

In 2007 Undertaker won the rumble but John Cena main evented. In 2008 John Cena won the rumble but Undertaker main evented.

 

[Death By Looch]

Funniest thing about this is him not realizing spewing shit like that gives people, who think Charlotte got the spot she had for so long only because she's his daughter, actual tailwind in uttering their opinion.

Ric, just shut the fuck up.

08 is especially hilarious bc Cena being the fucker that he is cashed in his title shot at No Way Out in February instead and Randy Orton being the fucker he is punched the referee in the face to get DQd
