THE 2013 ROYAL RUMBLE THREAD

[krulmichael]

What a complete fucking joke. Rock can suck a dick. Wonder how much CM Punk must have been fuming when they came up with this finish. :smh:

Cena wins the Rumble. The Rock lands one elbow on CM Punk after 434 days of holding the title and loses...to an elbow....one elbow. :smh:

 

[JimLeavy59]

What young talent did this company put over tonight? None, gotta love it.

 

[Loco]

I'm done watching wrestling, this shit is no longer worth my time.

Bo Dallas?

 

[JimLeavy59]

Bo Dallas?

He's generic wrestler B who really gives a shit?

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Rock-Punk is as bad as Sting-Hogan @ Starrcade.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Well, with the Rock coming back, he was assured of time as the champion, did anyone really expect anything differently? This is the same company that, months ago, had to push Ryback into the main event scene because the only other person they had to fight CM Punk was injured? They've put all their focus into Rock, H's, Lesnar, Cena, Undertaker for the big draws, that they didn't fill out the top of the card very well, because there is no use for them when the above four are back (excluding Cena.)

When Goldust was the highlight of the Rumble you know shit is real bad. :ukiddingme:

 

[SuperKevin]

Now we get to see Rock win again at Elimination Chamber as well

And what happens when those guys are done? You push bums like Bo Dallas and Ryback?

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Hogan-Yokozuna @ WrestleMania frowns upon this ending.

They need to continue the push of guys like Ziggler into the main event scene. What's the best way to use Punk's one year plus reign? Have him lose to Ziggler who then becomes the first undisputed champion in a decade.

 

[BigBiss]

my biggest issue is how predictable it was, with the crowd begging them for something new and groaning at every turn ... the Arizona crowd

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Ziggler out there for 50-minutes was the biggest waste of time in the history of the Rumble.

Completely pointless, anti-climactic...just awful.

Best aspect of the show was Jericho.

They've ruined Ziggler by making look like a nerd at every potential breakout moment.

If I were a young Indy talent I'd look at this show and it would basically make up my mind that I'm not going to waste my time with the WWE. Bust your ass to make a name for yourself only for it not to matter because a guy like the Rock has a 2 month gap in his movie schedule.

Fixed.

I can see that.

However, they know that people like you, me, and everyone else here on VSN that is active in the Wrestling forum is going to tune in. They will cash in on Rock and Cena with merch and PPV buys, same thing with H's, Taker and Lesnar right now. Because they know that there are always going to be people tuning in no matter what, and they will always see the increased buys when those four come back for a major PPV.

Rock/Punk was good, the ending gives Punk plenty of fuel to babble on...he beat/pinned Rock afterall. Rocky gets the emotional win and the Shield got their 2 cents in.

Even though it was all the most obvious results, I liked it.

The Rumble...was what it was, some entertaining spots. Jericho's return was tits. Ziggler's elimination, ugh. Bo Dallas eliminating Barrett was a nice twist. The Bryan/Kane stuff was funny. Mysteiro & Sin Cara returns :thumbsup:
