Actually that's the most enjoyable Reigns interview ever.

It's amazing that they did literally everything to get Reigns a face pop at the end:

Bryan eliminated early
Cesaro eliminated before final 4
Ziggler eliminated before final 4

(none of these by Reigns)

Big Show and Kane as final 3.

Rock comes out.

Rusev surprise.

....and it still failed miserably.

Just don't understand how Vince has no idea what the fans want...or if he does why he doesn't give it to them when they are really relying on network buys and re-ups.

Better to have someone win Roman's title shot soon and hold off on his inevitable superstar push. Only way to save him.

I'll think about it some more, but this has to be WOAT Rumble. I mean, the only other real contenders besides tonight are 1993, 1999 and last year. 1993 at least had the excuse that they were fairly thin on talent with all the firings because of the steroid trials. 1999, the crowd was at least hot for Austin the whole time. And last year was a lot better booked than this was as a whole despite the finish, plus they couldn't have expected the ending to get **** on as much as they must have known it would tonight.

Yeah that's the thing, it's painfully clear that they knew that this was going to be a problem. Their response was to say "**** it, don't care" and do it anyway.

Glad I wasn't the only one to see that. There must have been 20 guys off camera with their dicks out or something.

In for the replay to see if they have the balls to do it again.

"worst rumble ever" declared by internet, for the 4th year in a row

Fwiw, I don't blame them for not trusting Bryan enough to put him over, I just don't understand how you put him in the match at all if you aren't

Year it gets worse every year

On a good note we have 110 people in this wrestling area of the forum right now.

Too bad WWE has left all of us with a bad taste in our mouth's.

there was no way to get that crowd to like Reigns

no chance in hell

the only hope was like a normal 30 man Rumble, Reigns eliminates them, HHH sends out Mercury at 31 and Noble at 32 and Kane at 33 and Show at 34

but that's just a HHH face turn

Reigns fast lane there's no turning back!

Lesnar also getting increasingly positive reactions from the crowd. I don't know how they can expect the crowd to side with Reigns against him. I think they'll have to double turn, but in that case they would still put Reigns over and make him the very rare heel to go on last at Mania and win?

" Here Brock, have $7MM and stay" is pretty much the only hope now

I'm thinking more like this:

I'm not even really upset that Reigns won. I can at least seem some logic in that. Brock has been booked as an absolutely unstoppable monster who they need to have lose so that someone can get the rub. Bryan's neck is ****ed up so they aren't certain how reliable he is, so they go with Reigns. He wouldn't have been my first choice, but whatever it at least makes a little sense. What I don't get is why they would book the Rumble to where only two guys come out looking good. Reigns and Bray were the only two people in that entire match who looked good at all. Why not have Ziggler, Ambrose, Bryan, or even Ryback enter early and make a long run? They don't have to win but it would help build up another young face. The whole ending was terrible. Reigns and Rusev should have battle for awhile then Reigns finally eliminates him. You can still have the beat down by The Authority and save by The Rock afterwards. Idk it just seems like the booking of this match was really bad through out.

Best case is Rollins cash in after reigns wins.

maybe they can just have Brock and Reigns bench pressing contest?

I dunno .... maybe Rock comes back for a bit to "manage" RR and get in mic duels with Heyman on Raw for a bit to sell this?

Thread needs more naked Lana

any chance bryan is not 100%?

Why can't Bryan win this year and reigns take the title next year? IS IT THAT HARD?

I already gave you all there is. I think we're the real RR winners here

I disagree. Reigns puts shot on the line at Fast Lane vs. Bryan/Ziggler/Ambrose and loses

Reality am hoping for Rollins to take title of Reigns day after WM. Not sure if I will see that but can still hope. If it is Reigns vs Lesnar I will not be watching my first ever WM.
