The match was pretty good until the lights went out. Shield interfering and Rock winning with the People's Elbow was ridiculous. I remember the days when a "If this person interferes you lose the title" meant the interference didn't happen. As long as Punk is never revealed as the leader I'll get over it though, as that will make him look like an idiot.
I would have never been happy with Punk losing, but if Rock had won a clean hard fought match where he barely pulled out the win with a Rock Bottom, I could have at least dealt with it. Having that crap finish made it even worse. Not to mention that it was all an excuse to go back on the "Once in a Lifetime" deal of last year.
Oh well, hopefully the next two pay per views will still be good, but I have a bad taste in my mouth about it now.
I did at least enjoy the Rumble match aside from Cena winning. As amajor NXT fan, I really liked Dallas holding his own against guys like Cena and Orton.

The best part of the night was the clever ending of Show/del Rio. The duct tape ending to a last man standing match was a rehash of Cena/Batista from a few years ago. I'm okay with certain tricks being repeated as long it isn't too often. The duct tape should be left backstage for at least another 5 years.

DIE ROCKY DIE.
It was too inevitable, I just hope we end up with a triple threat at WM, and not a Twice in a Lifetime top billing.

Bottom line is this is good for the WWE. Rocky is goin to be doing alot of press for the 3 movies he has coming out in the coming months, and will be wearing the WWE Title w/ him. Punk was not bringing in new fans, and I hate when people say Rocky hogs the spotlight. He was gone for 8 years, plenty of time for the "new" guys to get over big, and they didn't. This was a good move by the WWE.
As for the Rumble match, it sucked. Cena winning was predictable and is another example of the WWE not knowing what they hell they are doing. The Rumble is suppose to boost a rising star to the main evnt, but instead we got the most stale guy in the WWE winning it again. We all know it will be Rock/Cena 2 in the main event of WM, but they could have made that match w/out Cena winning the rumble at the expense of pushing a new guy.

That saved the whole PPV after that ridiculously bad Rumble Match. Bad Rumble? I felt that was the best part of the show, the lack of jobbers made for a more competitive feel and the returns were awesome, each of them (besides Godfather) gave me shivers up and down my spine, I loved the Rumble, best one in years. The Godfather's return was awesome, and something I never expected for the PG era.

I'm sick of hearing people complain. If you don't like it, then don't watch it. You can't expect it to be perfect. How are we supposed to not watch if we don't know who's going to win....... It seemed to me that a lot of these people "knew" who was going to win. At least, they sure wouldn't shut up about it. Let's be honest, it was pretty predictable that Cena would win the Rumble and The Rock would win the title. So if you're gonna tell everyone that The Rock is gonna win and you're mad about it, that's fine. But why are you complaining about how the PPV was a waste of money and it's the WWE's fault that your money was wasted when you were the one that was so sure of the Rock winning and you weren't happy about it, but you still chose to order the damn thing? That's your own fault. With most of these PPV's, it's pretty easy to make an educated buy. Just saying. And when I say You, I'm not talking about you in particular, I'm addressing all of these people.

You people need to seriously chill out. The Rock won the title and will hold on to it for about two months. Don't like it? SO WHAT?! Get over it and stop throwing a tantrum. It's not like Punk won the title last month. He got to hold it for well over a year. Who else would you suggest end Punk's reign? Ryback? I sure as hell think that would have sucked ass (excuse my french).

Someone that could have benefited from ending a year long title run not someone who is over and doesn't need a title to build his matches.

I think most people would have preferred to see The Rock with the title last year instead when his comeback was still somewhat fresh and exciting to the people, rather than a year later, and at the expense of a guy who has held onto it for over 400 days. That said, I'm not terribly upset like some people that Rock is champ... but after all that, all it took to finish off Punk was a single spine-buster people's elbow combo? Really?

The Rock winning is an absolute slap in the face to the full time talent in WWE. Who cares? Most of todays talent couldnt hold the past Supertstars Jock-straps. Simply put... the PG Era sucks ass.

AMEN! Restarts are horsecrap and fans are tired of it. At the very least Vince could've stripped him of the title and let there be a tournament at Elimination Chamber or something. That would have been a win/win. CM Punk loses the title but Rock never cleanly beats him. I just don't understand the logic in bringing back a guy who isn't even on the regular roster to beat a guy who has been a staple of the company for the last year. Guess some things never change, Dwayne will always get what he wants.The logic is brutally obvious. WWE keeps going from year to year without making new stars. Punk is the only guy in the last 8 years or so to break from the pack and make himself seem special. He's been feuding on and off with Cena for over a year and a half. WWE hasn't created anyone else credible enough to stand in the ring with him. WWE clinging to Rock like this is their own fault. WWE is very lucky Rock is willing to come back and help them in spots like this. If Mania was being headlined by Punk vs Cena, part 300, or Punk vs Sheamus, it would tank.

Sounds so weird, but I like it, really enjoyed the PPV & can't wait for Raw tonight. Some Raw Roulette!

I loved Punk's title reign, but if anyone was to beat him for it then I'm glad it was someone like The Rock over John Cena. I'm intrigued to see what Raw's going to be like for the next few months.

I'm still so bummed. Having Rock just take him down on the first shot is just, ugh. Just sucks when your favorite has a 400+ day title reign so the Rock can come back and be the one to beat him.

Rock vs Punk was a great match. I was ecstatic when punk won after the lights went out, and severely disappointed when the match was restarted. But at the same time, I loved it. It was a new exciting ending. And I don't understand the hate on the Rumble match, I thought it was great. Loved seeing Jericho and the Rhodes/Goldust interaction. Overall I quite enjoyed the PPV In what way was that a new and exciting ending? The Shield has helped Punk win for three straight title defenses, only this time we knew beforehand that that would cost Punk the belt. This was the exact ending everyone expected. Oh, so everyone knew Vince was gonna come out and restart the match too then? I don't even know why I try posting here anymore. None of you people can just enjoy the show

CM Punk isn't fit to breathe the same air as The Rock.

well done rock, enjoy it till you drop it to Cena at WM29 I don't wanna imagine that.. Royal Rumble was not good but not bad either. I was pissed when Cena won and still think WWE should gave Ziggler, Rhodes, or another "youngster" the win. And for Rock and Punk? A over 400 Day Title reign destroyed for The Rock to hold the title till 'Mania.. Makes no sence.
