I felt like Rock didnt look that happy when he was holding the title. he was thinking "Man this thing is even uglier that I thought"

I was happy when punk retained but I knew it wasn't over, although the swerve could of been avoided by Vince , wouldn't of done any harm for punk to be stripped, I would rather that than the rock win the title to be honest. Would of done neither party much harm.
Punk I think will regain the title on aw tonight, after heyman uses a contract clause of a rematch, or punk will have a lucky roulette spin.
I'm kinda ok with the rock bein champ but don't want him goin into mania as champ, hope he loses at ec or before!!

I just hope this leads to Rock putting someone besides Cena over big time. Unfortunately, that won't happen.
WWE really could use Rock's star power to build new stars but instead he gets treated like he is one.

I think there's something really smart about Rock walking into Mania as champ, if indeed he does.
I said prior to Wrestlemania 27 on here that my mates that were no longer interested in wrestling were ordering because Rock was hosting. I was told that wouldn't happen - they ordered.
I said prior to Wrestlemania 28 on here that my mates that were no longer interested in wrestling were ordering because they went 1 step further and got The Rock to work a match! I was told that wouldn't happen - they ordered.
I'm saying right now that my mates that just happen to be no longer interested in wrestling will order Wrestlemania 29 if The Rock is walking in with the companys main prize. Not for any other reason. Say what you want, but I'm certain they will buy it once more.

Everyone at university was talking about The Rock today. None of them have ever mentioned wrestling but they all knew he was back and had won the belt.

The WWE doesn't make new stars, so the only two guys who could take the title off of Punk were either Cena or Rock. Atleast Rock can bring in more fans than if Cena had won the title again. Rocky winning was a smart move, but having Cena win the Rumble yet again was another example of the WWE not building future stars. The Rumble could have built someone up to challenge Rock and get the big win over him, yet it will be Cena all over again. Not a hypocritical post, it is simply the WWE doing the right move w/ the title match but screwing up w/ the rumble match.

I enjoyed the Rumble alot. I don't agree with some big decisions, but I do understand why they took place and I'm excited for WM season to begin. Rock/Punk was great. As a huge Punk fan, its hard to see Punk's epic reign end, but I'm excited to see what happens with Rock at WM. I hope he faces someone besides Cena, but we'll see.

Not a hypocritical post, it is simply the WWE doing the right move w/ the title match but screwing up w/ the rumble match. Maybe. But you're saying that Rock [a well-established, really popular star who has wrestled 3 times since 2004 and doesn't need another Title reign] winning the WWE Title was right because WWE haven't built enough new stars. They can't get over etc etc. You then turn around and say that one of these aforementioned talents that have struggled to get over should have won the Royal Rumble and headlined the biggest PPV of the year, because Cena doesn't need it... Fact is, Cena is still the biggest current star going, and Rock/ Cena will sell WrestleMania better than Rock/ [insert glorified mid-card talent struggling to get over]. If you're gonna use that logic it must apply in both Rock and Cena's cases. You can't say Rock should be WWE Champion because nobody else is good enough and then say Cena shouldn't have won the Royal Rumble because someone else needed the win. It's all about Rock/ Cena (maybe Rock/ Cena/ Punk], nothing else will match it.

I get why ppl are upset. Personally the match wasn't very exciting n predictable. The whole ppv could have been better. I was hoping lesnar or taker would come back n interfere instead of the shield again.

I really liked the ppv, cena winning the rumble sucked butt, but i can't hate on the whole show because of that, I still enjoyed it. I was even kinda surprised at the ending, after punk won I figured it was gonna end that way & Vince would strip the title at raw tonight or some kind of nonsense so I was real happy with what actually happened. I'm excited to see what happens with the rock as champ, I'm a fan of punk as well, but for my tastes he had the belt for plenty long enough & I was pretty much over him as champ so it'll be nice to see him do something different too.

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 'Cept me. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Royal Rumble is the greatest event of the year. I'm just dissapointed that they do all the predictable sh*t year in, year out. F*ck Cena's win. Too me, thats a slap to the face.

I felt like Rock didnt look that happy when he was holding the title. He probably knew the match wasn't what it should have been. Contrary to popular belief, Rock isn't just about the money. He has pride and wants to deliver great matches. Last night he (and Punk) didn't deliver that. It was being hyped up by some as a potential classic in the making and it ended up being ass.

As soon as the announce table spot botched, I felt Rock looked disappointed. But that's not the first time the table collapsed with 2 guys just standing on it. Happened a ton during the attitude era.

Didn't the same thing happen with the announce table during his I Quit match with Mankind?
Rock Bottom + Announce Table + Royal Rumble = Ow.

Anyone with half a brain could see last night was a complete joke!
1. Another Cena rumble win? He doesn't need it! So predicatable and not ruined the main event because we all then knew Rock was going to win. Boring! 2. Rock is a paper champ and doesn't deserve a title run. It sends out the wrong message to all the hard working wrestlers in the locker room. It's all about money and stroking egos. 3. Punk has to be pinned by the worst move ever. The most unrealistic move ever. A stupid elbow? Lame and pathetic. 4. Last year Mania was 'once in a life time'. Hmmm so we have the same match again!! 5. This was only done to stroke Johns ego to get a win over the Rock at mania and be champ again! We are BORED of Cena as champ. Heel champs are best! 6. All this so WWE can sell more T-Shirts to little kids. 7. Why book Taker vs Punk now. We know Taker will win for sure. If Punk walked into that match the champ it would have been amazing excitement and on the edge of your seat viewing. Now, what's the point!
For the record I am a MASSIVE Undertaker fan and I didn't want the steak or Punks title reign to end. I was hoping for some exciting ideas and booking walking into that match. Now there is no point.
I am mad as hell at WWE. WE complain because we want better quality matches and we want more from a product I've invested time in for the last 20 years. When you lived through the glory days and attitude era and spent THOUSANDS on WWE I have every right to complain.
Rest in peace.....
