WWE Royal Rumble 2012 Live streaming Online

Why do you want the belt off him?

Eh, I am not really feeling him as a champion going into the biggest event of the year.

I like Danielson a lot, but I'm not going to let it cloud my judgment that what he's got is your token crap title reign. At least he's developed into a heel of sorts, so that's good, but I like it when a champ looks strong. Danielson is the token "lucky" champ. I don't ever really get into those programs.

But it's not as though he's being booked like that as a face (Mysterio). He's got the whole asshole thing down to a T.

Considering the stuff they've done with him in the past, this is a million times better.

I agree...I just don't think its "champion going into WrestleMania" quality.

Hes making the best of a terrible champion gimmick. Im pretty surprised how well his personality has developed. It reminds me of his subtle heel stuff from 2006, but amplified.

He's a real life nice guy...its tough to make those guys heels.

The Rock is the nicest guy you'll meet...maybe one of the few real nice guys whose heel persona rose above the rest when he's not really a dick in real life. You just capitalize on his quick wit and sense of humor, and amplify those aspects...Bryan doesn't have those, but he does have this bit of a dry sarcasm to him that is being amplified.

Its not overly natural, but he's doing some really good work with it.

Eh...Cena is a few weeks away from his feud with Rock really going full retard...they'll blow off the Kane feud on a RAW main event or something.

and thats the point, think of how people would of flipped if they thought that match was in jeopardy, im sure it would have got some mainstream coverage

Isn't Sheamus on Smackdown? They can do Sheamus vs whoever for the SD belt at WM, because Cena/Rock and Undertaker/HHH are the draws, and CM Punk's match will also be higher on the pecking order.

In reality, Sheamus just won himself a mid card match.

That's the sad part. I remember when the Rumble was a HUGE deal, because it would catapult a guy like Austin or HBK into a big deal and a world champion and likely the biggest guy in the industry for that year (different going up against WCW though, which only furthers the point). Now, it's not really a big deal when guys like Del Rio and Sheamus are coming from the B-show, to be put into a match that is overshadowed x1,000 next to UT's match, the Raw title match, and something like Rock/Cena.

They need to acknowledge the Raw title holds much more weight than the SD title, and is the only title that really matters. And if you win, you face the Raw champ at WM. Because this SD stuff is just a cop-out that really makes Royal Rumble, one of the FEW things from the past that has maintained it's weight, lose it's credibility as a big deal. It's not even 1/2 as big of a deal as the MITB, which is a huge storyline, everyone knows that guy usually wins the title, and is better at getting someone over as a main eventer. I never thought I'd see the day where the RR is 2nd fiddle as it pertains to gimmick PPVs.

It seems like everything in the WWE is booked to lose credibility. I doubt McMahon really gives 3/4 of half a shit at this point. He'll dedicate months and months of booking and airtime to get wastes of space like Cole and Vicki over. He's making money hand over fist to just dick around at this point. Between that and them being damn-near run out of business in the mid-90s, when the quality was miles better, it's proof that I'll never understand this business even a little bit.
