I want my F'N money back, WWE! (Royal Rumble response)

[badnewzxl]

Seriously, were they paying ANY attention to ANY of what the fans have been telling them over the past month?! WTF! I'm soooooo pissed off I spent $45 on this shit!

Bray v. Bryan was great.

Brock v. Show was a shaft.

Orton v. Cena was garbage; dragging EVERYTHING out for far too damn long, corny move-stealing in an attempt to get cheap pops, fans shitting on the entire match.

And then, you have the Rumble, where you reveal to us your idiotic plan to have a 45 yr old who hasn't had a match in four f'n years win it and headline Mania and you expect THESE fans to be behind it? The chump couldn't even throw a good spear!

I want my money back; if ppl got their money back for Battleground bc they didn't like Bryan being stripped of the title the next night, I want my goddamn money back bc this show spiraled so far into shit its appalling.

I want my damn money back! X( X( X(

[cero2k]

nothing makes sense in my head right now, terrible PPV.

[badnewzxl]

If they gave ppl money back for BG, I want my money back. This was absolutely worthless. Total crap PPV (with the exception of the first match)

[cero2k]

you should try it, worst case scenario nothing happens

[cero2k]

[Big Red Machine]

100% agree.

I really love the way theze major WWE pay-per-viewz have "smark"-majority audiencez who mostly react to thingz the same way az I do, and pay no attention to who the "good guyz" and "bad guyz" are supposed to be.

During Orton vs. Cena (for the millionth time in history) the crowd gave them "boring" chants. LOL

Rumble match:

Out of 30 competitorz, most hate from the crowd award goez to... Rey Mysterio? Really? Alrighty then. I don't get that one.

Most love from the crowd wuz probably a tie between Dolph Ziggler and the surprize entry of Kevin Nash. Dolph iz definitely awesome, and although I'd boo if Nash won, he iz a pretty cool surprize entry.

I bet Batista, returning from a 4-year absence, expected a warm welcome. Nope. LOL

With only 4 guyz left, Kane (already eliminated) came back to ringside and illegally pulled C.M. Punk out over the top, eliminating him from the rumble, and the crowd booed profusely for the next several minutes.

This left Roman Reigns, Sheamus & Batista. The crowd wuz rooting for Reigns in a pretty big way and were quite vocally disappointed when Batista predictably won the Royal Rumble.

There are 5 to 10 guyz on the current roster who a) dezerve to headline WrestleMania more than Batista, and b) would sell more tickets, PPV buyz, and merchandise than Batista. I don't think WWE management are in touch with their fanz.

Dear WWE: You don't know what's best for business. When Kane illegally eliminated C.M. Punk, your fans booed. I bet that you are assuming that they booed because they like C.M. Punk a lot and Punk got screwed over by Kane and the corporation and so now that'll put a lot of butts in the seats who want to see Punk get revenge. Nope. You've got it wrong. Your fans booed because of the fact that an eliminated participant can come out and illegally eliminate a competitor right in front of the referee's face. This is incredibly lame and stupid and makes a total joke out of your product. I think Vince once said it best: "Frankly, we think you're tired of having your intelligence insulted." Well you know what Vince? I think you're right.

The heat on Rey wasn't on him specifically> It was on the concept of Dragon not being i the Rumble. Rey just got it because he was the last guy in, and thus was the official confirmation that Dragon wasn't in the rumble.
And it's not that they booed a lot of different things in the Rumble. It was one steady chorus of boos, all for Dragon not being in the match.

Wait... THIS is what annoyed you the most? I don't like it much either, but this is a well-established rumble possibility. Don't forget; there are no DQ's in a Royal Rumble.

i think it was mostly on how things were building up. One we knew Bryan wasn't coming out, you immediately put your hopes on the next big one, Punk. We had just seen Ambrose, Rollins, and Cesaro eliminated, then with the final four, Punk takes them out, and we all got a small light in the sky if Punk could win the rumble, but then he get eliminated (IMO a cool elimination) and suddenly we realize that the winner will be between Sheamus, Batista, or Reigns. It's obvious that the fans crapped all over that.

[badnewzxl]

I disagree on one end: Batista got booed bc he was Batista. There were a fair amount of boos as soon as his music hit.

I just don't see how WWE could choose Batista to headline WM30; the lamest of all their part time guys (and the only one I HOPE is part time.

[badnewzxl]

Also, I love that WWE quickly turned Bryan back face bc an entire crowd of folks (I think it was at a Michigan or Michigan State game) chanted YES!, but your fanbase roots for the guy for a solid year and you have him lose without regaining ANY ground. AND, you have the guy who beat him move on to the next feud, leaving Bryan with NOTHING atm. BS!

[Big Red Machine]

Batista vs. Brock doesn't appeal to you?

after how he was handling in the ring, no. unless they goo fully MMA and Brock beats the living shit out of him.

Also, expect Bryan/Cena vs Wyatt Family for WM. now it makes sense

THIS! plus, the origin of my dislike for Batista stems from this very comparison. Both debuted around the same time, both guys seemed to be pushed as the same kinda wrestler, but Brock MADE me believe he was bad ass by his execution while Batista made me feel the opposite for the very same reason. That Spear he threw in the Rumble was atrocious.

Yes. This iz definitely what annoyed me the most, and no... the "this iz just the way it iz" argument doez not cut it. Also... of course there are no DQz in a Royal Rumble. I'm aware of that and I'm not going to dispute it. I haven't a clue why you even said that. What are they gonna do? Disqualify Kane, who iz already eliminated from the match? LOL Nope. What they NEED to do iz NOT consider C.M. Punk to be eliminated. What they need to do iz to NOT count ANY illegally executed elimination az an elimination, and allow the illegally eliminated competitor to continue.

People think wrestling iz a huge joke, and crap like this iz very good reazon for that. It's bad enough about the classic "refereez not noticing illegal shit", but when it's right there in front of them, and it's allowed and not even disputed, it's a crock, it's a joke, it's a "change the channel" kind of ridiculous.

If this iz "a well-established rumble possibility" (and yes I know it's not the first time), then it can be assumed that ANY wrestler can get away with it. Therefore, the other side of the coin on why this iz ridiculous, iz that, hey, why izn't EVERY SINGLE COMPETITOR taking advantage of theze lax rulez? Why izn't every single person who gets eliminated just hanging around at ringside waiting for the chance to pull their enemiez, or the person who eliminated them, over the top "illegally"? You know? If they all are fully aware that they can get away with it, then it only makes sense that everybody will take advantage of this right?

Face it. It IZ ridiculous, and we ARE having our intelligence insulted, and it's completely unnecessary, and it's really BAD FOR BUZINESS.

If you really want a kayfabe explanation, I can give you one (Kane is the Director of Authority. The refs probably were afraid they would get in trouble if they didn't consider Punk eliminated (like what happened to the ref at Night of Champions).
I definitely agree with you that it's not the best of situations, but they actually don't do it very often, so it doesn't bother me much. The points you bring up (from a kayfabe point of view) are all valid, but I don't think it really hurts the perception of wrestling. Everyone knows wrestling is scripted, and those that like wrestling look at it as such. As long as it doesn't break their suspension of disbelief, they are fine with it.

So bad! Four years off really hasn't been kind to him ring-wise. So sloppy.
