Lmao. That would make me never want to watch the WWE, if that scrub beat Lesnar. Is his finisher still a flying knee or whatever? How could a professional wrestler not have a better more entertaining finisher?

f--king Kane and Big Show in the final 3 (technically final 4 I guess)?!

They tried putting Show, Kane, and Rusev in there with Reigns to try and take some heat off him and it backfired. Instead the crowd chanted "We want Rusev". The exact opposite reaction they wanted. As soon as Ambrose got eliminated they just booed relentlessly until the end of the PPV. Even after everyone popped for The Rock they quickly went back to booing.

Wondering what Big Show and Kane will be doing at Mania now, seems they will be in matches. d--- this Mania card might be pretty s-----y with the way it looks so far. I still think they are doing Cena/Rusev at Mania but not positive since they're also doing it at fast lane.

Kinda doubt Rock will wrestle at Mania, might be at the end when Reigns is celebrating though. WWE really needs Taker or else this card is looking pretty weak. I'm curious as to what Rollins will do although I have a feeling he'll still have the brief case and I think he will cash in.

I haven't watched WWE in years but whatever they did at the PPV must've worked because regular news websites and channels are talking about it.

Now yes Brock will probably lose at Mania due to contract but who says that Reigns is the one that beats him?
What if Reigns and Brock destroy each other, Brock wins once more only to have Seth Rollins to cash in. Seriously the best scenario IMO simply because you can have a Reigns vs. Rollins feud till Summerslam. Reigns is not quite ready to win as a babyface and a Rollins heel run with the authority behind him is exactly what Reign needs to get over this year.

Reigns is not as bad as everyone makes him out to be and most of the "bad" stuff is due to WWE shoving him in our face.

I like this idea. Seth really is the future.

Mick Foleys Rumble message to WWE and Vince.
Foley is the man, and should probably be a booker right now...

RUMBLE BLUES

Remember how caught up in the ‪#‎RoyalRumble‬ I got last year? I sent out that tweet asking whether WWE hated their own audience, smashed a TV set, and texted all the powers that be - telling them how badly I thought they's messed up. It's safe to say that I was pretty mad last year.

I'm not worried about this year's ‪#‎Wrestlemania‬. I can envision a number of scenarios in which Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar can have an epic confrontation. My suggestion to WWE in this match would be to step aside and let the fertile fields of Paul Heyman's mind run free and allow Lesnar and Reigns to create the most exciting, physical match possible.

No, I'm not worried about Wrestlemania. But I m worried about the Rumble.

I wasn't mad after this year's Rumble. Instead, I was sad. Sad, because the Rumble, which has been one of the most entertaining ‪#‎WWE‬ events of the year for so long, might just be in danger of becoming "just another show", and going the way of "Survivor Series" as a good idea that runs it course and ceases to be relevant. I didn't see this year's Rumble, and with the exception of the final few minutes I caught on WWE Monday Night Raw, I don't envision myself doing so. But I didn't need to see the Rumble or know the outcome to know what a disappointment it was. All I had to do was watch the people. I dropped 3 of my kids off at the Wells Fargo Center at 6:30, and showed up on Broad Street, just a few blocks from the arena at 10:45, just as the crowd was letting out. No one saw me in my vehicle. But I saw them, and could tell, just by the way people were walking- by the way children were dragging their signs, and shuffling slowly, by the way adults held their heads down, with limited verbal interactions - that there was no joy in Philadelphia.

Let me quote a story I wrote about Zack Ryder several months ago here on Facebook, and hope that the right people in WWE read it - because I think they are on the verge of losing some fans in the fallout of the Rumble. It wasn't just that one of their favorites didn't win - it was the brevity of their appearances, the lack of imagination in their involvement and the unceremonious way in which they were eliminated.

"Eventually people get tired of finding out that the WWE Superstars they have supported with their cheers, their purchases, their signs, their follows and their likes aren't real Superstars - and little by little, those fans lose interest in WWE, find other interests, and become former WWE fans."

I have no intention of becoming the "anti-WWE guy". I'm going to take a little break from ‪#‎Raw‬ and ‪#‎Smackdown‬ for the next couple of weeks, and see what the landscape looks like, heading into the next PPV. I really do think WWE is going to turn out a great Mania, and I'll be in the crowd watching. But I fear for the Rumble. What was once the start of "The Road to Wrestlemania" has now become a roadblock to the good will and excitement needed for a truly memorable Wrestlemania atmosphere.

One more thing. I've heard rumors that Mr McMahon is personally writing the recent Roman Reigns promos. If that's true, I'd like to personally address Mr McMahon.

Dear Vince,

Please stop - you're killing the poor guy,

Sincerely,

Mick Foley

That made me sad because it did feel like another PPV and I used to LOVE the RR as a kid.
