Only internet wrestling nerds will tbh.
Reigns was getting cheered in other crowds.

Before tonight, yes.

We'll see what happens after tonight.

The Philly crowd was pretty vocal in their displeasure. Now, don't get me wrong. I like Reigns. I just think they're pushing him down the old throat and he may not be prepared for it. I'm just worried that the story will not be as good as it could be.

That is irrelevant because it didn't happen. Roman Reigns deserves to be liked because he is Roman Reigns, not because he can eliminate Batista or beat Brock Lesnar. This has nothing to do with Reigns, it has everything to do with WWE telling their fans what they shouldlike.
You don't have to like anyone WWE says. They say people should like Cena, that doesn't stop them from boo'ing him.
I'm telling you, they should have had Bubba Ray eliminate Bryan. Comedy gold.

I dearly wish 2016 is Bryan's year. So the Rumble can be fun and crazy again, by 2017.

The only thing I disliked was that the final three was too predictable. Maybe if you had Ziggler, Ambrose and Bryan, it would have been good. But Kane and Show? lol

Had I booked this I would have booked Bryan to win, because the beloved warrior returning from injury to win the rumble and headlining mania story is too good to pass up on. Then have Rollins cash in on him at mania to walk out with the belt. Reigns vs Rusev at mania with Reigns over. Spend 2015 prepping Reigns for 2016

Some people will hate this but it has to be said.. Bryan did not deserve to win the Rumble this year, but he also didn't deserve that early elimination.

Just Kevin, I do kinda agree with you on Bryan. On paper he shouldn't have won, but there wasn't a better option this year. He had the built-in story, very few other guys did.

I'm not really sure what the concept of "deserving" to win the Rumble even means.

I mean, I could make the argument that Batista didn't "deserve" to win the Rumble last year.
