Still refuse to watch that PPV. BS ending to Punk-Rock where it was all but asserted the Shield put Rocky through the announce table eventhough the lights in the arena were shut off; Vince swinging his grapefruits around by declaring Punk be stripped of the title only for Rock to look like a "valiant challenger" by offering to restart the match; and then the big ol' comeback to award the Rock the WWE Championship, for which he did nothing to deserve a shot for.
And the match the Shield should have interfered in, the Royal Rumble match itself, was pretty disgusting. The final three offered us Superman, Irish Superman, and Hungry Superman going for it after the fans' favorite, Dolph Ziggler, was dumped. And why didn't Shield show up? The final three were the same guys that they faced at the very next PPV. But no, we had to get some flimsy pretext for a jealousy angle for Ryback to turn on John Cena, which was a terrible call as well.
Man, 2013 sucked.

Last time the Royal Rumble was in Phoenix, I had clinical depression.
I still have clinical depression.

And Cody Rhodes entered at #3. He was eliminated by eventual winner John Cena, who entered at #19. Going on to face Jerk of the Month, The Rock, at WM29 in a crapfest main event instead of being in a triple threat including CM Punk.

The Rock coming back pretty much ruined the Road to Wrestlemania that year. If Punk had main evented Wrestlemania he probably wouldn't have been so bitter and left.

As I posted earlier, the women were left off the card. It was a different time back then when the WWE Universe didn't care about the Divas Division but that that the Divas Division has been rebranded as the Women's Division, there's no way the women will be left off the card at the 2019 Royal Rumble this time around.

I try to forget about 2013. It was a complete down year in WWE for me. Except for Summerslam that year. That was great.

The Rock coming back pretty much ruined the Road to Wrestlemania that year. If Punk had main evented Wrestlemania he probably wouldn't have been so bitter and left. He might be in better standing with WWE but he was set to leave, according to CM Punk himself. He has admitted that he was legit ready to split back in 2011 but was lured back by the money for three more years. His major goal he claims was to main event a Mania, and when it became obvious Vince and Co. wasn't gonna give him that in 2014, it was the final straw on top of injury, illness, and being burnt out. And yes, Punk was sorely missed in Rock-Cena II. Not just to save them from the endless "Once in a Lifetime" jabs that we get in all the time. It made complete sense to include him. He had earned that. And the match quality, much higher than John and Rock trading finishers the entire match. Would've better hidden Rock's lack of ring conditioning and likely would have saved him from that injury he suffered in the course of the match. Find it funny that those in WWE insisted back then that 3-4 matches were labeled "main event matches", but on this year's WM 34 DVD it is right on the back that Lesnar-Reigns was THE main event.

When do you think this thread will be locked? That seems to be standard fare for a CRD thread.
