Fastlane Tonight - in Cleveland!

[Real Deal]

I'm with the audience. I don't care for Reigns at all. I don't like his 5 moves, he has pispoor mic skills. Vince writes his lines because he's a teachers pet.

He gets put over because he's simply a younger big guy. Vince loves his big guys.

 

[Real Deal]

The Rock couldn't even salvage the loud booing.

 

[Jack Brickman]

I keep waiting for something interesting to happen but know it's not going to. Jesus, what a shit show. Sad, because that triple threat was actually really good.

 

[Real Deal]

Looks like Cena vs Rusev at WM, they just had a nose to nose in the RR fallout.

Fans were chanting for the big bad hated heel in Rusev over the face Reigns. That says it all.

Id rather seen Bray win.

Totally see Rollins cashing in his MITB at WM and winning.

 

[Jack Brickman]

I was hoping that the Rock would give Reigns the Rock Bottom after he won. At least the fans would have liked that.

 

[ticon12389]

They have learned nothing from last years Rumble. Reigns is going to get it worse than Batista ever did leading up to WM.

 

[kookoo]

If they don't do something big for Bryan instead of another match with Wyatt, I'm going to be so pissed. Bryan vs Rollins maybe? Reigns vs Lesnar is like Goldberg vs Lesnar. It's going to be terrible.

 

[bigfoot5415]

Great ppv.....until Bryan was eliminated. Not saying he shoulda won, but it became too predictable. Reigns winning is a joke. No moves, no mic. Not even Rock could salvage it. That says alot.

 

[col63onel]

I was really hoping Kane would win at the end. If you are going to screw up the Rumble 2 years in a row.....do it in epic fashion.

I really want one of the dirt sheets to report "Vince still miffed at poor reception of Royal Rumble."

 

[Juice is Loose]

That was the worst Rumble match I've seen. The way Ziggler, Ambrose and Bray we're eliminated. Just awful. I'm praying Rollins cashes in on Reigns at WM. He'll get a bigger pop than Reigns

 

[kookoo]

The company is delusional if they think Reigns is going to be a superstar. He has shown 0 improvement ever since the SHIELD. Ambrose and Rollins are hands down better performers than him. I guess it doesn't really matter who Lesnar faces considering Rollins will cash in the MITB. I can see Reigns winning with Rollins cashing in.

 

[Jack Brickman]

I mean, if they want Reigns to win it, fine. But did the entire match have to be that goddamn boring with absolutely no drama during the final half hour? You also can't have your fan favorite eliminated midway through the match unless it's through some sort of nefarious means designed to jump start another storyline. I can understand why they might not want Bryan to win the match, especially right after coming back from a serious neck injury, but you absolutely need him out there until the finale. They lost the crowd so early in that match that there was no winning them back. It was just awful planning.

Also, using the Rock to try to make Reigns popular just reeks of desperation.

 

[RapsCavs]

Holy Smokes! Great matches but Reigns winning was such as an awful decision. Fans are booing him when he is a face and even with the Rock on his side. How can the WWE be so blind?

 

[MoFlo]

Awful. Just awful.

I know their thinking (as stupid as it is):

-"Get the Bryan thing out of the way early"

Problem is, the fans aren't going to forget about it. This just pisses them off more.

-"Give the 2 dominant heels legit heat by eliminating the 3 guys still in there that the fans would rather have win (Bray, Dolph, Dean). Maybe then Roman will get a good reaction."

-"Make the 2 heels look dominant and have Roman conquer them."

-"Have the Rock make the save & endorse him."

Problem is, these are the hardcore wrestling fans right now. They're going to boo who they want & they won't be swayed.

Making Roman Reigns look like superman & having the Rock endorse him only makes the fans think you're desperate & are shoving him down their faces even more & they'll boo even louder.

It's like they never learn.

 

[Real Deal]

Still disappointed. Reigns gets worse heat than Cena as a face
