boshealecta Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Like everyone has said the lack of star power was obvious. Also they are reaping the non rewards of having everyone fight everyone else and trade wins. It used to be that in the Rumble two people could face off who you had never seen face off before. You’d get excited about what possible combinations of people in the ring there could be. Now it matters less, only with celebrities can they create something new.

Pinc Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I always forget what year it was, but remember that Survivor Series tag a few years ago that had Nakamura, Joe, Roode and maybe some other 'new' guys along those lines in the ring with Triple H, Shane McMahon, Kane etc? And the young guys just got eliminated one by one so the Attitude lads could finish the match? This Rumble was the extremely forseeable consequence of that and the booking mentality associated with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one where the ending involved HHH, Kurt and Shane with two confusing swerves designed to end up with Hunter (48) winning, for the purpose of building… what? Pretty sure lost in the confusion was Braun. Who at the time was rumoured to be heading to a match with HHH at Mania but instead won the tag belts with a child, eventually later on winning a world title from Bill Goldberg (53) before losing it, having to do a cage match with Shane (51) at his next Mania before being let go. Hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieg1980 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Well I think I have to be done with WWE's current product. Its the constant cuts and movements from the camera. I have been diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy and the poor buggers just can't keep up with it anymore. Had to watch it in three parts just to give them a break. But my main gripe from the last event I watched has improved. The commentary was much better than Summerslam and Survivor Series. Everything was just meh. Perfect lead up to Wrestlemehnia. Though the video for Brock and Bobby was fantastic and Reigns and Rollins was good and I didn't even mind the finish. But the rest. Jesus. Not even sure the Rumble match from 99 was this bad. How far gone are you when you can't even pull a positive out of the Rumble match? And Happy Corbin?! Fuck me what bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Insider are apparently reporting Riddle was the planned winner before they changed their mind and went with Brock. So.. as it turns out… it the mens Rumble match could have been a lot worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With what little they’ve got going on, an RK-Bro implosion and an Orton/Riddle title match would at least allow them to pretend they had a plan and don’t just care about one match. Or even Orton/Riddle/Lashley. But, hard to get there now. Probably be Edge/Lashley, just so they’ve got a name challenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 The main event for the Saudi Show is an elimination chamber match for the WWE Title so they could have Orton or Riddle win it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He dumped Lesnar on his head with the first suplex, so Lesnar kept trying to kill him until Lashley’s arsehole went and he kept trying to turn onto his stomach during the suplexes. Glad it wasn’t just me who thought this. He was definitely nipping and you could see Brock was less than impressed with the first one.

Surely this can't be right. They have the elimination chamber PPV in 3 weeks. They can't push how important and sadistic this match is then rehash it for the blood money ppv weeks later. If that is true honestly there isn't 1 single element of this company that makes sense or has something they can make feel special and unique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Crown Jewel or Super Showdown, at least at this point in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
