I didnt enjoy it. It could have been much better. Poor booking. AJ got eliminated randomly at like ing 18?! Yeah future main eventer... I love the guy i want this man to ing succeed. Whatever. HHH winning sucked. Ambrose should have had it.` You expected a guy who has never been in the company to come in and win? Seriously? 28 minutes for AJ and an elimination by KO was perfect. Nooo haha not win just got to at least 28-29. Final 4 would have been dope

I predicted everything exactly except for the Kalisto win. Even had Rusev as the #2 entrant. Super predictable card. Instead of doing a poor rehashing of the 1999 Rumble and road to WM, how about do something less predictable. Have Dean win and be a double champ. Have Bray win and actually make the Wyatts look legit. Have Brock dominate everyone and win. He'll have AJ win. This was just another predictable card with a man in his mid 40s winning his 14th world title.
And I don't know about anyone else but I thought AJ was booked like crap. He got almost no offense in and every new entrant went to beating in him right away. He was then eliminated out of no where by a guy who came out with a limp leg. Disappointing.

I would honestly pay someone $100 if they could use the term "Buried" correctly on this site. & after the Ultimate Warrior died, his family buried him in the ground and then went around and shook some ropes for several hours in his honor. Sounds like someone is going to have 100 less in his wallet.

Loved the ending. Predictable but I loved it.

Does Hunter hold it for 2 months?
What is the fast lane main event now?

Good PPV. The three undercard matches were great and the Rumble itself was booked well. Let HHH have his moment, he probably doesn't have many left. And it's better than Roman winning. Did you hear that pop when he got thrown out?
AJ did everything he needed (well, hitting a Styles Clash would've been nice, to show off his finisher). He came in to a huge ovation against the champ, got a lot of ring time, and got eliminated by probably the top heel performer in the company. Then he got another huge ovation as he left.

Because according to some people, no wrestlers have EVER been buried in the wrestling business, especially not by that sweet Triple H, so it might not even exist, for all I know. Spirit Squad being put into a box labeled "SHIP TO OVW" is a legit burial. There ya go. Its not what happened tonight.

Before I bounce.. Roman Reigns is a s***y friend. Dude could have pulled Trips off the apron and helped his buddy but naw. What an a**hole. I was waiting for Reigns to come in and eliminate HHH, leading to a dusty finish with Ambrose winning.

The Ascension have been buried since after their win over the New Age Outlaws last year, at the Royal Rumble. ... Can I have one of those big checks, like they give on the PGA Tour? Ascension doesn't count since they are one step below terrible. Fair enough. A for effort? Haha

How to save WrestleMania;
Brock vs Bray and Reigns vs HHH aren't going to be great. Here's how I'd book to make it better.
Andre The Giant Battle Royal - Samoa Joe wins Tag Team title match- New Day vs Dudleyz vs Vaudevillians vs Acension vs Usos TLC match Divas Title match- Becky vs Sasha vs Charlotte US title match- Kalisto vs Sin Cara (something to do with masks) IC Title match - AJ Styles vs Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn vs Dean Ambrose Fatal 4-way Elimination match Stardust vs Goldust- if Goldust wins Stardust must return to Cody, if Cody wins Goldust must retire Leauge of Nations vs Titus, Neville, Tyler Breeze, and Ryback Brock vs Bray - Hell in a Cell match Roman vs HHH- 3 stages of hell match.

Back to bed.
The best thing about getting up at 3 am to watch The RR this year is going back to bed.

Don't really watch anymore but this was about as well as they could have booked it with as little of talent that they currently have at their disposal given injuries.
They'll be lucky if they can fill up like 1/2 of Cowboys Stadium with the lackluster card they will have to put together.

Zack Ryder was buried when he was used as pawn in the Cena/Kane story line and the mess with Eve before being almost completely taken off of television. Where's my money? To me, that's the definition of "Buried". Losing a competitive back n forth match is not.

IMHO, that was the most enjoyable WWE PPV in quite some time (excluding NXT events of course). I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10. No matter how many times I saw internet news and spoilers about AJ Styles, it took actually seeing him in a WWE ring for me to believe it. I knew as soon as he came in early that he wasn't winning but he got almost 30 minutes in the ring. Judging from the crowd response I think its a safe bet even casual fans kinda know who he is If they go forward with AJ vs Owens, that could be a great feud heading into Wrestlemania. The undercard satisfied me. Ambrose/Owens was a great start to the show. The other matches weren't spectacular but weren't horrible either, even counting all the botches by Kalisto. The Rumble match was the best we've had in years even with the expected ending. I think most realistic fans knew it was going to be either Roman, Brock, or HHH as the winner. I think they did a good job of booking it so that HHH walks out with the belt without leaving fans pissed off and booing. The Wyatt Family looked strong but I have to ask: if the people who eliminated Brock (Rowan, Harper, & Strowman) had already been eliminated, then was Brock really eliminated from the match? Guess it doesn't matter in the long run because I am looking forward to more encounter between Bray and Brock. They even teased us with the possibility of an Ambrose win that showed he has a lot more fan support than Roman (please take note WWE bookers). The biggest question I have coming out of the RR is about Sami Zayn. Was his appearance a one-off before he goes back to NXT or is he officially a part of the main roster now?

Someone from creative needs to read on the internet who is the guess for most likely to win and tell Vince so he can pick someone else. This has been the 4th or 5th year in a row it's been pretty obvious.

Does Hunter hold it for 2 months? What is the fast lane main event now? Roman winning some sort of #1 contenders match. No, I'm not joking. Hunter isn't defending the title until Mania.
