I don't see why. I think this is a wonderful time for the business of Pro Wrestling. It is showing the WWE that Pro Wrestling matters and that the Fans matter. You are watching a Pro Wrestling crowd become more and more vocal then ever before in the WWE arena and it's amazing even in non Smart Towns like Pittsburgh. Pro Wrestling is coming full circle again in a way I never thought it would again living through the late 90's until to now when Pro Wrestling was second to the entertainment factor. I'm more excited then I have been for a long time because the crowd is becoming a Pro Wrestling crowd and letting it be known who should be on top and who shouldn't. Which is fine but to boycott just because you don't get your way. That's just silly. It's what this nation is founded on boycotting things. Like I said that way to have it truly be known is to have a complete walkout after Bryan comes on and is done. Not watching Raw will do nothing.

I really enjoyed the Rumble and am really excited for RAW tonight. To hell with all this Daniel Bryan bullsh*t, the WWE has been at it's best in years and I like Bryan but all this boycotting nonsense is so over the top and annoying. Yes, exactly. I marked out like a little girl twice last night. I couldn't tell you the last time I thought the WWE put out a PPV that was good from start to finish. Last night was one of them, the only thing that I would criticise is the crowd for booing everyone at the end.

I'm just pissed off as the timer was 1 minute 40 seconds and not 2 mins

Man, it's the mid 90's all over again. But this time fans are just bending over and letting them rape us week after week. I feel bad for you guys, if you send me your address, I'll send you some lube so WWE doesn't penetrate you guys dry. And I'll send a whambulance and some tissues to all the cry babies that don't get their way.

It's the WWE fault 100% you are seeing people like this. Blame them not the crowds for the reaction. I'm sure many in the business will tell you the same thing.

Views will affect how they look at things and thats all I can think of.
They probably laugh at those letters that people send.
They know that no matter what, we will still tune in.

Bryan was NEVER advertised for the Royal Rumble. He put on a pretty good match on the undercard and had said in several interviews that he wasn't going to be in the rumble match. It's NOT the WWE's fault that the fans chose to ignore all the signs and put their hopes on something that wasn't going to happen.

Unless you're a Nielsen member, you don't matter. WWE won't know if you watched or not. If a lot of people don't watch, they'll notice, and that's my goal is to show them that the true fans are fed up. Because a true fan bails on the product when things don't go the way they want them to. Plus, if you have seen Bryan's recent tweets, it's pretty clear that it was all done intentionally to make people cheer harder for Bryan. They are going somewhere with this. That's how wrestling works.

Royal Rumble itself was very entertaining. Bryan wasn't advertised to be in it. Everyone knew ahead of time Batista was the favorite to win it. But you want us to throw a tantrum? Makes no sense.

Vince will soon know that Daniel is the next big star. He is the Furture of the company he will be the champion again.

It's NOT the WWE's fault that the fans chose to ignore all the signs and put their hopes on something that wasn't going to happen. True but they saw how the crowd was. Wrestling is made to change on the fly, I know I have done it when it is called for in my Indy promotion. You feed off what the crowd gives you. The crowd was giving nothing or taking anything but Bryan last night and for the last few PPV's. This is a game of Cat and Mouse with the fans and obviously the WWE sees what is going on and are playing it out for a reason. Believe me they see the response this guy is getting and know how over he is. People like Vince McMahon just don't know how to deal with it. You See this really has never happened in the WWE. It's always been big guys rule and a pushed by fans but this is a different animal then Vince has ever experienced. Like I said this has become a old School NWA crowd where the Small, Underdog is so over in every way. Much like in the mold of a Rock and Roll Express or a Magnum T.A. They are in a very strange time here in the WWE where Pro Wrestling crowd has taken over and is pushing out the old WWF/E crowd. Vince needs to rethink his ideas here and look back on older stuff even before he took over from his father. It really is a exciting time to be a Pro Wrestling fan.

Are you kidding? Pissed off crowds are the best and hopefully they will be tonight.

This happens every time something happens that people don't like. Cena beats Rock at WM 29, Punk drops the belt, Bryan etc etc. People will say that they are done with the WWE and will never watch again and never buy anything and by next week it will be forgotten. I am a huge DBry fan and was disappointed when he wasn't in the Rumble, but it won't stop me from watching and appreciating the product just because of this one thing.

It would be good to get some funny #s trending on twitter though. #Batistasucks would be cool as he is having his Rumble celebration. Or whatever the fans are chanting. Probably #wewantBryan or something like that. with them on social media and they will be pissed.

I feel bad for you guys, if you send me your address, I'll send you some lube so WWE doesn't penetrate you guys dry. Pretty sure if I talked to my friend who was raped or any other person that was raped they're not got be like "You remember that Royal Rumble from 2014? When Bryan lost to Wyatt and wasn't even in the Rumble and then Batista of all people won. It was just like that."

I love Bryan and all, but I still think the show itself was pretty good. WWE didn't advertise Bryan for the Rumble match, so I don't understand why so many thought he'd win. I mean sure it would have been a great surprise if he did, but I still enjoyed the PPV overall. Forget advertised. Why would anyone think the guy WWE has been burying is gonna win the RR to headline WM? Its WM!!! WWE doesnt put who the fans want in the main event. They put who THEY want. It doesnt matter if you cheer or boo or sit on your hands. The only way you can affect change is to stop buying product, stop watching the shows and stop going to the arenas. And its gonna take A LOT to do it. It cant just be the few who are upset. If you feed the beast it will continue to crap on you.

He's still a main focal point. He looked damn good last night as well. Not everyone can be champion, doesn't mean you're being buried. Not to mention it was pretty obvious that Batista was going to win. I mean... People should be more upset about how predictable the PPV was, more than an unadvertised star not winning it.

He curtain jerked the PPV and lost. I dont have as much problem with losing...as I do with placement on the card. In addition, I consider him being buried when you hear a hot crowd like that and they are shat all over. When the biggest PPV is coming and your most OVER star is not headlining it....thats misuse. Perhaps, buried is a tiny bit strong. But he has been used for his abilities, but never rewarded. Its like putting Rollins in 2nd in RR. They know he can last just about the entire Rumble. So put him out there early cuz we need to get all 3 Shield to the end.

I wasn't too disappointed with what happened last night, the only thing I'm butthurt about is how lazy the surprises were for the Rumble, and that's a minor problem. I look forward to the Rumble to see the surprises, not to see Kevin Nash, who is as big of a surprise as Chris Jericho IMO. It's kind of like "Really? You couldn't get like Hurricane or Shelton Benjamin? Someone who will make me mark like a little girl?"
I don't care for Punk or Bryan or anybody uber popular with the fans, I like Big E Langston and Titus O Neil. It's really not too hard to get me to mark. All I ask is for just that little effort.
"WWE doesn't have to cater to you" No spit. All I'm asking for is one genuinely awesome surprise. Someone we haven't seen in forever. Kevin Nash, El Torito and JBL aren't surprises. They're lame. If Kevin Nash would've walked out to the NWO music with Hogan and Scott Hall OMFG I would've marked so hard. But he didn't. He walked out in one of his old TNA outfits and botched his exit.
