Re: WWE Royal Rumble 2014 LIVE Discussion Thread
I really, really want Batista to win the rumble now.
Purely for the butthurt that'll be the result of it.
AND WHAT GLORIOUS BUTTHURT IT HAS BEEN *evil laugh*
In all seriousness, two sides to this.
1. As I said last night, DB was NEVER ANNOUNCED FOR THE MATCH. People getting upset when he wasn't number thirty is absolutely ridiculous and the fault of your own deluded imaginations. That being said however;
2. WWE need to WAKE THE FUCK UP. How many more main events do they need fans to shit all over to realise that people are sick and tired of the current status quo? How many more "Yes" chants do they need to figure out that this guy working the opening match and putting a guy over in order to work with Cena is the guy they should be pushing to the moon, not working as enhancement talent?
The last 10 minutes of the Royal Rumble was absolutely brutal to watch. I felt so bad for Mysterio, getting booed out the building simply because he wasn't Daniel Bryan. I can harp on about not being advertised, but the fact of the matter is this:
WWE is a business. Businesses are supposed to meet their customers needs and wants. Regardless of whatever was advertised, last night the PAYING CUSTOMERS wanted Daniel Bryan. And they got nothing. Last night, a business did not meet the needs and wants of it's customers, and those customers responded in force.
A lot of people seem to think Raw will be interesting tonight but here's the thing: Daniel Bryan upstaged the championship ceremony before TLC. WWE took note, ran one match with Orton, then continued on regardless. They put DB in a heel faction, realised their error, took note, then used him to put Bray Wyatt over before a Cena programme. WWE will acknowledge last night, take note, then move forward as always.
