Bosco Blick Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 IF Daniel Bryan defeats Roman Reigns at Fast Lane, should the WWE just do away with "Winner of the Royal Rumble gets a title shot at Wrestlemania" gig? Yep said it before. Â It's an outdated concept which means we can pretty much predict the winner every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted February 5, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2015  IF Daniel Bryan defeats Roman Reigns at Fast Lane, should the WWE just do away with "Winner of the Royal Rumble gets a title shot at Wrestlemania" gig?Yep said it before. It's an outdated concept which means we can pretty much predict the winner every year. But wasn't a slam dunk this year.  I'd like them to dust off the winner getting the title itself. It did create arguably the best Rumble match ever last time. OK so that happened to be Ric Flair but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 IF Daniel Bryan defeats Roman Reigns at Fast Lane, should the WWE just do away with "Winner of the Royal Rumble gets a title shot at Wrestlemania" gig? No. Atrocious idea.It would make the Rumble far less special if it was just a meaningless battle royal, and it'd make WrestleMania less special too.

Slapnut Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It's a redundant argument too. You say it as if it's been happening for a while, but when was the last time the Rumble winner didn't get a title shot at Wrestlemania? 1999? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.PeterVenkman Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It's not so much not getting a title shot, it's not getting the main event, that's what has damaged it a bit, Del Rio and Sheamus both won the Rumble and got a shot at the second rate world title in the opening match, Cena didn't really get a title match when he won the Rumble the first time and even the match he ended up with wasn't the main event  It'll be better now there's only one world title but that knackered a bit of the Rumble prestige up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.PeterVenkman Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Just totted up in my head, the following winners didn't main event Mania (reasons why in brackets) Â 1995 (Celebrity in main event) 1997 (Storyline) 1999 (Storyline) 2006 (Mickey Mouse World Title) 2007 (Mickey Mouse World Title) 2008 (Had title shot at Feb PPV) 2010 (Mickey Mouse World Title) 2011 (Mickey Mouse World Title) 2012 (Mickey Mouse World Title) Â So you can see the Smackdown Shithouse belt didn't really help the 'winner gets the main event at Mania' stipulation Edited February 5, 2015 by Dr.PeterVenkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted February 5, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2015 What proof is there the Rumble is antiquated, or slightly tarnished by the winner not really main eventing? The Rumble is still WWE's second biggest show of the year and has been for ages. To most, it's still a massive deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undefeated Steak Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Nobody can expect the Rumble winner to go on last at Wrestlemania every year. It'd make no sense. A title shot at Mania is what it's *almost* always promised and there's nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Maverick Posted February 5, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) They always do say a chance at the title and to main event mania too though, they have clarified it with multiple main events in the past.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted February 5, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2015 They should split the World title again. That way they can just let Daniel Bryan hold the mickey mouse one forever so dem wans stop moaning about everything, then the real blokes they want to push (Reigns, Rollins etc) can fight for the proper belt. Â Also, they should stop the Money In The Bank thing, that gimmick is tired and well worn out. Nothing new or interesting they can do with it and it almost hinders storylines and natural growth/progression of performers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted February 5, 2015 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2015 I like the MITB match and breifcase but I hate the "cash in when you want" aspect. It's been done to death and it just means an endless succession of chickenshit heels. I'd change it to a title shot any time you want but the champion needs a week's notice. Â A chickenshit heel can be great fun but it seems everyone who isn't at least 6ft 6" or friends with the devil has to be one. Make a strong heel for a change. Have him be a despicable cunt, sure, but one who can win matches. And you'll be absolutley shocked to find that babyfaces who beat the strong hell will be *gasp* stronger!

Paid Members mim731 Posted February 5, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2015 I still would like them to do something with the expiry of the contract for MitB. Either have someone fail to cash in before the deadline, or manage it with seconds to spare. Might create some interesting creative if done properly (although obviously if done badly it makes the holder look a right pillock). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
