Gotta love that the go-home Raw for the second biggest PPV of the year ends with three part-timers staring each other down.

Part timers run the bussiness
Someone please explain to me how WWE will even exist in 10 years after ignoring full time talent for years
Who they gonna bring back and have Goldbergs effecT?
Fandango?
Oh God. That just sounds terrible.Cena and Orton, probably.

Maybe they shouldve ended it with Reigns throwing everybody over the top rope and a roar of boos.
Besides a GONG!!! What else can get the crowd to mark out? Maybe Lana showing her puppies, but what else? You sit there and talk about part time this or part time that. Who cares, man. It's TV, it's entertainment, it's wrasslin.
Lesnar is the money maker.
Undertaker likes Cleveland.
Goldberg is authorized to be there the most to promote the rumble.
The part time Lesnar also had a kick ass fucking shirt on if you didn't notice.
It's going to be funny when Kurt Angles music hits in the Rumble and the ol' part timer comes about.
Nothing pisses me off more than the part timer complaining. They come and go, so what. What belts do they hold currently?
What you want KO/Jericho to end the show bullshitting on the mic?
They did it right. Right enough to entice fans to buy their product Sunday.
But how entertaining was it really? It will be a nice poster or segment for the Rumble video package. It may even bring 1000s of people who weren't gonna watch the Rumble to sign up for the free trial. But guess what? When the rumble is over and Wrestlemania season is over and all these guy leave all those fans will LEAVE. They won't stay to watch people who have been pushed to the side because of Taker and Goldberg. They don't hold belts but belts don't really mean shit in WWE right now look at the Universal champion. At every turn he's made to look like Roman Reign's little bitch, except 2 Monday's ago when Owens FINALLY got one up on him.Maybe they shouldve ended it with Reigns throwing everybody over the top rope and a roar of boos.

This is silly. The last couple weeks they haven't even been around. If you look at any of the Raw's before a major PPV with a past/PT star, they always bring in someone to build it up. This is no different. If this really bugs you I'd advise to stop watching till May, this is WM season and its all about the history of the company.Personally, I think the WWE should be working on building up new stars rather than relying on part-timers to draw. It's just continuing the cycle of not getting anyone properly over by focusing the biggest PPVs of the year on guys who wrestle three times a year (or less for Taker).
I get the idea of having the crowd pop to the Undertaker's music, but they literally focused the ending of the build to the Royal Rumble on three guys who we will probably only see a handful of times over the next year instead of on full-timers, or even just doing the tried and true massive brawl ending that involves most of Raw's Rumble participants.
I also hate, fucking hate, that the Undertaker came back on Smackdown and made a big deal about that being his brand, but now he's just showing up on Raw for absolutely no reason other than Smackdown beat Raw in the ratings for one week and Vince will not let that stand. The Undertaker claimed Smackdown as his brand like two months ago and it's already been totally forgotten.

We get mad when WWE abuses the appearances of part timers because it takes the spotlight from full time talent. Those are the guys that drive the product all year and they get pushed back so Goldberg can come and botch a promo man get the fuxk out of here.
You can be tired of ppl complaining about part timers all you want but it doesn't change the fact that it's still a problem. You say it's best for business and if it makes money it's good for WWE but that's a shortsighted way to see the business and it's not the way HHH sees WWE. That's not the way ANY good business men and women in any field see business. Why make a million today when you can make 10 million in a year?
Why push Undertaker and Goldberg as more important than everyone else on the roster today when you can use them to build Rollins, Cesaro, Bray, Reigns, Strowman, Owens, Zayn up and have your company set with stars that SELL MERCH for The next decade? Wwe blows their load on shit like this too soon all the time and most times the payoff isn't even that good. I don't think it's crazy that ppl complain about part timers and Stephanie being put over everyone on the show. It's a huge problem and it's a huge reason why people think the WWE won't be around in 10 years
Were all just gonna have to agree to disagree.This is silly. The last couple weeks they haven't even been around. If you look at any of the Raw's before a major PPV with a past/PT star, they always bring in someone to build it up. This is no different.

The legends bury young talent every time they appear. I feel IF were a full time young talent I wouldn't want to be told that I'm in a segment with a legend. Because I know I'm not going over. Wyatt family and the Rock? Foley, Michaels and Austin VS League of Nations? Rusev VS any legend that ever comes back? Bray VS Undertaker.WWE are doing a damn good job at pushing talent at the moment and also mixing in the legends. They have to appeal everybody in sports entertainment. It's the only sport where legends can come back and be effective, so they take advantage of the rating pull/money grab. Goldberg/Lesnar/Taker is not taking anything away from the current roster. I bet the current roster even marks out at the story writing for the legends.
KO is still getting his push, establishing his reign, working the mic at every opportunity. Cesaro has a title actually. If it wasn't for injury Finn Balor and KO could've worked a ln amazing feud. Don't sit there and make it sound like the part time legends are burying these guys, because that what it sounds like. The Raw ending was more satisfying than what usually happens. A predictable all out teaser rumble before the rumble.
Taker really shocked the party and that was unpredictable on a predictable ass show.
They will never fade out the legends to your liking. They're the reason why WWE is still around. Now if 1 of them 3 guys wins the rumble then complain about something.
