Royal Rumble 2015 LD

[Mighty NorCal]

Well 16 years ago he slapped HHH. That warrants an induction right?

straight up backhanded him, thug life style

Is Mohammad Ali ever going to be inducted?

I'm digging this show too. It feels far more natural instead of being scripted to death and padded to no end.

I think they may have Bryan lose the casket match and be taken off tv for the next month. I don't doubt McMahon's spitefulness in this case , where he will take away the most popular guy from the fans as a punishment for not following along w/ his script.

You know what, I wouldn't be adverse to more RAW's like this. Just sit down interviews with the guys, letting them flesh out their characters and histories and just give us reason to care. I care more about Reigns/Lesnar in 10 minutes than I have for the past three weeks combined.

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

Daniel Bryan was indeed stripped from the title, he never really lost it, so there's a way, a PLAN C to make him have that opportunity. Realistically, it could still happen. I'm intrigued as far as Bryan's future goes. He shouldn't have endorsed Roman Reigns in that way, in my opinion. He should've been pissed about Reigns winning it. It would make sense for the fans to be too.

 

[L@RISANO]

I'm not even that upset with Reigns winning the Rumble. I think the overall look to this Mania will be pretty solid top to bottom. Bryan, Cena, maybe Taker, Ziggler, Wyatt, Orton, Rollins, and Ambrose will all have interesting matches. Other than the possible Taker/Wyatt match, I can't even figure out how everything will shake out.

It's a pity a couple of those you listed might miss out, unfortunately, and might well have to settle for a place in the Battle Royal match.

Add in Rusev and Orton also. With Sting, HHH, Reigns and Brock already booked... it will be an interesting RtWM, lMO.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

No the fuck they aren't.....

I think he did it well. Put over Reigns, sort of, but emphasized that he never lost the title and still wants it.

Heyman just makes everything better.

 

[The_Reptile_]

Oh this gon be gud.

 

[Bernkastel]

I'd hope that WWE has something planned for Rusev once he loses his 'undefeated' streak. That will be key towards him being a top heel going forward...

The key is making him look strong in defeat. So that he can continue going forward. If he looks too strong, and his defeat looks like a fluke it would probably - based on history - derail his momentum.

 

[shafe_41]

It's also sort of refreshing to see Reigns and Lesnar not having any history together and not just trying to tear each other apart just because they're opponents in two months. Love this segment already.

 

[The_Reptile_]

This entire show has had Triple H's fingerprints on it and it is great

 

[klunderbunker]

But....but....Bryan isn't in the title match and Reigns is going to suck! THE INTERNET TOLD ME SO!!!!!

 

[#tamale]

Wow...great face off between Reigns and Lesnar. This storm has been a blessing in disguise for the WWE.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Wow. Pretty solid

 

[shafe_41]

Would have loved to see one of those cars fishtail.

 

[The_Reptile_]

Oh my god I got chills down my spine.

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

Dang that was an awesome interview. Finally, it looks like they gave Reigns something to talk about, this something's "FAMILY". The match is sold. It's about respect, it's about proving the fans wrong, it's about honoring his family. It was awesome because I believe that's really what this match is all about.

I may be wrong, but this felt natural, less scripted. And IT WORKED!

 

[Bagpipes]

Amazing the results you get when you just SLOW DOWN and keep it simple. And you give Paul Heyman 5 minute speaking parts.

 

[The_Reptile_]

KB if you could give this show a rating what would it be because HOLY SHIT it was good.

 

[L@RISANO]

The key is making him look strong in defeat. So that he can continue going forward. If he looks too strong, and his defeat looks like a fluke it would probably - based on history - derail his momentum.

I'd say he'll also need to distance himself from the Nationalistic schtick somewhat as well...they slowly have to drop that part eventually if he is to last, especially after he gets defeated.

 

[#tamale]

The WWE should be doing everything in their power to keep Brock Lesnar.

 

[Bernkastel]

Powerful promo that was. Reigns vs Lesnar's going to be awesome.
