By rodeoclown Go To PostI really hate Vince not throwing Roman back into the ring. It makes no sense.That's so he can run back in and eliminate Brock from behind at the end.
I can't believe I've tuned into a WWF PPV in 2016 and Triple H is winning another world title.
PPV as a whole was lacking and reflects what they're charging for this shit. What an awful product they're serving.

Yea that was beyond awful booking. Oh let's take this guy and drag him out under the rope, beat the living crap out of him, walk off having not gotten him eliminated, then let's have that guy get the hell up and walk to the back then come out 30 minutes later and clean house as if nothing had happened to him, and then let's have him lose anyway. It was the worst thing about an otherwise excellent PPV.
Other than the finish, that was a solid event.
Great opener, Owens and Ambrose knocked the crap out of each other. The tag team match was a blast, New Day are always a treat to watch. US title match was a bit lacking compared to the rest but I like seeing Kalisto and Del Rio had some good fire. Divas match was extremely good and Sasha coming out at the end was badass. Only weird bit was that kiss spot but eh.
The Rumble was really excellent throughout. Amazing entries, AJ Styles was phenomenal. Plenty of good feuds through the match as well. Really hoping something happens with Styles/Owens/Ambrose, maybe a triple threat for the IC at Wrestlemania. The ending was the one amazingly weak spot, to say the least. I'm blown away that they'd give it to HHH, but it obviously won't be staying on him long. It's a shame that Reigns got booed, but I think they knew that would happen. That's why they knocked him out at 3rd, because people would easily cheer HHH to win over Reigns but they will boo him against Ambrose. You'd think that'd be a sign in and of itself but oh well.
But yeah, solid event and makes me a lot happier about my Wrestlemania tickets.

Great Rumble ppv throughout, outcome a bit predictable but loved the way they did it though.
Didn't like the divas match that much, but it'll get better when Sasha gets more involved in the feud hopefully.

This is why I think I'm this close to quitting wrestling. All the stars are out and you got all the exciting talent and the Royal Rumble winner and new champ is Triple H. It's ALWAYS about the McMahons and Triple H. Disgusting.

I think they're just recycling the Austin Rumble storyline but with Reigns at the moment. Still I had great fun but the beer helped a lot.
The little standoff thing they did at the end was pretty fun aswell.
By BHZ Mayor Go To PostTriple H as champion in 2016...I'm still laughing about this. I knew it was going to happen and it's still insane.
I'm really curious what they expect the crowd reaction at WrestleMania is going to be. The Rumble smark crowd boo'd Roman entering and then popped when Triple H eliminated him. If they don't think it's going to be that times like 5, they don't know what they're doing. Just having him overcome the odds and beat Hunter isn't going to win the more hardcore crowds over.
I'm honestly not that mad at HHH as champ because he'll almost certainly not defend it next month and will drop it at Mania.
WM reaction for poor Roman is probably gonna be rough. I was there last year and the boos for his entrance were deafening, the cheers when he'd get hit were off the charts, and he even got booed after the show when he was heading to the back. Good chance the crowd is gonna eat him alive again.
Also damn, WWE going fully in on Styles: http://www.wwe.com/inside/why-you-need-to-know-about-aj-styles-28594395

Hi friends. I just wanted to clarify that the "Sunny porn" talk does not involve me at all, hah. So, Rumble thoughts - it was pretty fuckin great. I enjoyed the whole goddamn thing.
More to this, I enjoyed ALL the matches previous to the Rumble itself and the only issue I had, and it was minor, is that they didn't book Reigns properly and undid all the work Vince put in getting him over. They'll change gears with it. I'm not worried, I just feel bad for the guy that he keeps being written WRONG, and it fucks everything up.

They definitely did right by AJ last night. He looked good, had a couple eliminations, and the crowd reaction that he got was awesome and should carry over to the Raw crowds going forward. Apparently his shirt sold out pretty quickly on the WWE shop, too, which is really all that Vince cares about anyway.
Agreed, Sunny. Reigns got shafted last night. Dude is supposed to be a baddass but has to leave the match limping. They were trying to sell him not taking the stretcher as being a tough guy, but then you have KO and Ambrose come out not that long after and go hard in the paint after their brutal match...it makes Roman look like a chump.
What'd you think of Strowman's work out there? He definitely is better at working the big man style but he could use a little help on selling. IMO he's well on his way.

Strowman is gonna be terrible, from a technical perspective. I love his look and when he's with someone who can make him look great, he looks GREAT. But he's still one green-ass motherfucker.
AJ's debut was amazing. Man, that place lit the fuck UP.
I don't understand why they would have Roman limp to the back and then come back. It's been done before, and it just...man, what a fucking fumble.

Going out on a stretcher and coming back works for someone like Foley or Bryan but if you're gonna book a dude as a badass that isn't going to work. You'd think after Cena, they'd know how to do that with Reigns.
Not only did Ambrose join the Rumble after his last man standing match, he was one of the final two. He was staring off with HHH for the Title. So if the goal was to get Ambrose more over, I'd say mission accomplished.
Ambrose looked like far more of a badass than Reigns did in his staying in there and even body language. They just need to fucking scrap what they keep trying with Reigns and realize that while Vince could do it, Vince is a fucking master at it - Triple H came in and basically wrestled as a face, and also has feel-good ties with NXT, so...fuck. He just can't keep it.
HHH and Ambrose as the final two was the only way HHH was gonna get boos. If Roman was in the last two, HHH would have come out looking like the good guy there.
A little annoyed that Brock didn't get back in the ring after being knocked out but I guess they're saving the Brock Rage for a PPV build.

I feel like a few of you guys have been watching wrestling for so long that you're numb to it all. The standard for a PPV--one of the four annual hallmark ones at that--is so low that you don't even realize that normal booking logic doesn't apply to any of this shit anymore. And it hasn't for a long long time.
Oh I realize how the booking is, my point was with so many headline stars out you'd think they kind of change the script a little and try new ideas...
By reilo Go To PostLupercal, since Rumble is over, maybe change the thread title to be a general WWE thread?
Good idea, fixed it.
I'm curious for the Owens Zayn Ambrose feed which could spring forward.
Not looking forward to the 40 min promo HHH will give on tonight's raw.
Yeah the first 30 mins of Raw will probably be a bit rough. I'm excited to see what they do with Styles tonight

Well you weren't far off. opening promo was only 20 minutes. lol
Well WM thread is now locked. They get a raw thread till end of show. It's so stupid. Either close wrestlegaf permanently or not. Creating threads over and over for individual shows is just stupid.
Seeing the thread title got me to watch the rumble yesterday. Maybe first PPV i have watched in 5/6 years. Or whenever that KK handstand RR was.
Man it was so predictable.
And LMAO, the ending was like it was 2000 all over again. Has nothing changed?
Also, I thought the crowd seemed dissapointed with HHH winning. There was no big explosion from them. Actually, the crowd didn't seem too excited about any of them coming out.
I was glad Jericho is still going strong. I have always thought he is the best technical wrestler I have seen.
Can someone explain the Roman Reigns hate?

Are there always so many commercials during Raw? I mean, this is back to back matches now where substantial sections have been missing because they've gone to break.
Is the default reasoning for shuttering community threads always that the conversations veer off topic? That's the pattern and it's very clearly a poor excuse. It's all so bizarre.

For the most part. It starts like that. A community goes stupid and gets a thread locked. In case of WrestleGAF it was people wanting links to the Sunny Porn and someone posting some fucked up pregnant minion shit. So they locked it. Then people went to other wrestling threads and turned them into community threads. Now they're locking those and y2kev actually made one just for raw.
This is the beginning of the end though. It seems that after awhile a mod takes notice of a community thread and notices that OMG they're actually becoming a community. Then they start over moderating it because well we can't have that. This leads to multiple closures till eventually the community ends up getting banned all together. It's happened several times hence why those communities have migrated here for the most part. Some obviously more active then others.
This was posted elsewhere but it is so true. I was rolling the entire time. My sides literally hurt from laughing so hard.
The Rock eviscerated/verbally buried 5 wrestlers and a valet in the span of 21 minutes and it was the best thing on Raw in years
This is a great Raw. Best in quite a while. Rock segment was fantastic and Styles & Jericho killed it. Here's hoping they stick the landing with the main event.
It's funny... in alot of the Raws Reigns has been getting much better crowd reactions for awhile. It's during the PPVs it turns back to dogshit again.
Well Fastlane main event has potential. Would kill to see Ambrose turn on Reigns and win it but sadly he won't. Also if not watching Ride Along on the network you should. First episode is following New Day and Miz/ziggler. Pretty interesting show.
Yup. I can't believe Big E when he says that riding like that is comfortable and dear god poor Xavier. Seeing his console fall on the ground was heartbreaking. Hope it survived the fall. With that case hopefully it did.
I find it insane that Big E is that flexible lol
So should we send pm's to wrasslegaf folks to let them know what's up, since I'm sure that thread will be closed any time now?

I sent one to someone who was asking to be PM'd with someplace if we found a place. So I sent him one and told him to feel free to pass it around.
By Nelo Ice Go To PostHahahahaha. That Rock and New Day segment was pure gold. Like holy shit I am in tears.
for real.
im 1000% a Rock stan but when they dropped that "did it for the paycheck" shit on him i died laughing. i can't even act like they didn't get their shots in.
I would be very careful who you send to. dream I know is snitching on people to mods in the Sports threads.
