I thought Buba came in too early... should have left his till closer to the end. He had a good reaction, but if he was near the end it would have been huge. Especially with the crowd turning, they needed something like that - hindsight is wonderful though.
I genuinely don't get the Lesnar love. The guy was pure slop through out the whole show. all he did was German suplexes and not a single one looked good. The only time the match was great was when Brock was not involved. I am tired of Brock as the champ.
Brock love isn't a new thing for me anyways... i missed him when he quit in 04, and i loved him back then too.
Roman Reigns winning the Royal Rumble isn't necessarily a bad decision - but why would you do it in front of an unforgiving Philly crowd? And they knew what the Philly crowd was like before the show started.
The Daniel Bryan elimination - well, I just don't know what to say. He didn't have to win it. But he was eliminated like he was some jobber. This guy main evented last years WrestleMania and only lost the title due to injury - he should have been pushed to the very end - and could have been eliminated in the final four - but where does he go after that abysmal display? I just hope he gets something better than a match with Kane or some shit. Sometimes, I just don't get WWE and the decisions they make.
Although I won't be cancelling my subscription. Anyone who does is just being a baby and throwing their toys out of the pram because their favourite wrestler didn't win a match. That's a bit pathetic. We still had an incredible WWE Championship match which is an early MOTY contender and made Rollins the star he deserves to be. Wouldn't be surprised if Lesnar beats Reigns and Rollins cashes in at WrestleMania.
Actually, canceling their subscription to wwe network is amazing and the right thing to do. For years people have been bitching and complaining and threatening to stop watching the product but no one ever does. For once, people actually taking action and making wwe feel it is great. You have to do something to get the change you want.
I agree, cancelling is a great move. It came at a bad time though, as they day after the Rumble they announced they hit 1 million subscribers, despite the unsubscribe page going down due to over capacity. The Rumble is a big deal, the UK expansion was a big deal and WrestleMania will be a big deal. I wouldn't be too surprised if they hit 1.1 or maaaaybe 1.2 million around Mania, but it'll only be down from there. Back to 700,000 by summer.
They didn't want to make him look weak, they thought getting him out of the way early would make people forget about it. They drastically underestimated how much heat Reigns would get, and gave us Ambrose and Ziggler late on to win people over, only to dump them out in similar weak fashion. Reigns was the only face to look strong at all in the whole match, and even he didn't really do anything. The whole thing was pretty poor.
