Roman Reigns has now been in the final two of the Rumble for four years in a row. At least he only won once, I guess? Without being a dick he came 3rd last year but it's pracially the same especially he entered at number 1. In the 4 matches he's eliminated 26. In 4 Rumble's Hogan eliminated 27.

Whoops, totally forgot that Ambrose was last with Triple H. But, yeah, in the end, still a pretty significant stat.

so many thoughts swirling. when Roman's music hit at 30 i laughed harder than i have in a long time. that is PROOF positive that Vince and Co. get their rocks off by trolling 80% of their audience. They absolutely without any doubt know what they are doing with Roman. Everyone thought he was a lock to win the title, he lost. He's dominated the entire roster for 2 straight years, but then they just pull the rug out because they know how pissed off everyone is. And tomorrow night on RAW he'll probably be put in a Universal title rematch with Owens and win, because you. It's enraging.....because they put more effort into ing with their fans than they do actually creating a good wrestling program. They know how butthurt all the guys on wreddit, and the wrestling forums, and here....etc...get whenever Roman's music hits, whenever he hits his 15 superman punches, pretty much whenever he does anything. So they continue to push it and force it and make you believe that "ugh they're gonna do THAT aren't they?" And they continue to do it week after week after week. I can not remember a time when we were getting trolled as much as we do nowadays. And the biggest problem is that Vince & Co. actually think its a great way to run a wrestling promotion. This post got me thinking. As happy as I am with things I see in nXt, and tend to give HHH a lot of the credit for that, I can't help but think, by some of his own comments over the years, that the internet trolling way of booking you mention doesn't stem from Hunter himself? its everyone....do people think that vince & co. have no idea what goes on on the internet? every single week they make sure to tell their audience how many ing facebook followers they have, or what's trending on twitter for them, because those are important things. i guarantee they have people who just take care of everything on the internet, they probably have accounts on reddit and all the other major sites, keeping up with the bitching and whining, and maybe even praising.... i swear to god WWE could have stolen the Seth ing Rollins thing from here, as I started using that YEARS ago when that Dean F'n Ambrose kid was here in the RAW threads....I had never seen that anywhere before and now its actually a thing on WWE TV. but the bottom line is they absolutely know their fanbase, and they know how pissed off most of them get so they are purposely doing this crap with Roman because of that.

1. Orton wouldn't have been booed for winning. Orton always gets great reactions. 2. He's still technically a heel, so even if he did get booed, who cares? Orton is suppose to be undercover in the Wyatt family so technically he's a face. People didn't cheer because Orton won they cheered because Reigns didn't. Orton never gets booed as a face. He would've been cheered without Roman.

Imo Kickoff Show - Didn't really pay attention as I was excited for the main Card to start and I had dinner Charlotte vs Bayley - Good match, likely leading to mania match Universal title match - Great stipulation to give the match excitement. The match set up future fueds. Cruiserweight match - Neville proved he is king Wwe Title Match - Cena ties Flair in an amazing match Royal Rumble - No surprises, but an odd ball win that changes up the mania landscape. This was a great show You have every right to feel that way. But you need to understand that it was a polarizing show, and it's not just a few people complaining. A lot of people disliked it, for varied, and valid reasons. You're attempting to dismiss all of the valid criticisms of the show just because you liked it. don't know what to say 👨💻

The internet keeps booking these dream moments and fuel us with rumors and when that doesn't happen it's WWE's fault. There was barely any chance of us getting Joe, Nakamura, Angle, Hardy or Finn just because some site said it doesn't mean it's going to happen and should always take it with a pinch of salt. true, then when people are right, they say WWE is too predictable

The best outcome of Orton winning the Royal Rumble would be an Orton/Wyatt/Harper Triple Threat match at Mania.

They absolutely know they're in a war with their core audience, and they don't care. You can tell, because they frequently throw little, inconsequential bones to fans as an appeasement, or perhaps a reminder that they listen when it doesn't interfere with Vince's tired vision. Take last night for example - Tye Dillenger entering at number ten, as senseless as it was, was the bone. They knew they were going to piss people off with Roman Reigns entering, and Orton winning, so they gave Tye as a consolation prize. Last year at Wrestlemania is probably the best example, though. They knew the entire show was a downer. They knew people didn't give a crap about Triple H vs. Roman Reigns, so they gave the fans the Zack Ryder moment, only to undo it hours later. These are calculated decisions. They have their fingers on the pulse of the community, they just don't care.

Then why don't you? no one here or even Vince himself is forcing you to watch. Go watch another promotion

Still can't believe they wasted spots on. Apollo, Kalisto, Enzo, and Ellisworth. Who would you have preferred in those jobber spots being tossed around like ragdolls by Strowman and Lesnar?

I would have rather Rollins somehow attack an entrant getting into the arena somehow and then taking their spot in the Royal Rumble Match which then could have set up Triple H either coming out as an entrant himself or setting a distraction which would cause Rollins to be eliminated

Kenny Omega, Kurt Angle, Finn Balor, and Samoa Joe, duh! And they all would have their feet hit the floor at the same time so they all get world title shots!

This guy was saying Kenny omega wasn't showing up at the rumble saying he was trolling yet he was posting every dirt sheet link about him showing up 😂

I think it was Ryback that recently said the WWE is more focused on trolling it's fans than creating the best show. I think there is an element of truth to that because WWE will make boatloads of money regardless under the Network.
I absolutely agree that WWE actively trolls it's audience.. but I don't agree that the Mania card isn't great because it is shaping up to be so regardless.

Joe or even Nakamura or both as surprise entrants would have made sense

my jaw dropped when roman came out. I just hoped and prayed he wouldn't win and I was glad he didnt but at the same time orton (who was once one of my favorite wrestlers) just bores me nowadays.
