Oh boy..... hostile crowd!

sunlitsix · 26 Jan 2015 at 05:45

Hostile and deservedly so, one of the worst rumble matches that I can remember bar last year. Even the rock couldn't salvage that crowd once Bryan was eliminated.

Steedie · 26 Jan 2015 at 08:55

Glad Bryan got eliminated when he did but wow, what a poor match and hostile crowd. Waste of the Rock too

GreenMint · 26 Jan 2015 at 11:05

Decided skip it, read a report and seems I did good to do so, glad to hear Bubba Ray is back though, hope he gets a push like he did in Impact Wrestling, but I can see him "headlining" alongside Fandango if he stays on

Steedie · 26 Jan 2015 at 11:08

Apparently Bubba Ray being back isn't permanent. The plan was for this to be a 40 man rumble, the original adverts for the PPV even say it's a 40 man rumble, and WWE wanted to fill it with ECW guys seeing as it was in Philly. But Bubba and a couple of others were the only ones to get their insurance cleared so they abandoned it

GreenMint · 26 Jan 2015 at 11:50

Ahh, shame

Steedie · 26 Jan 2015 at 11:52

I could be wrong though and hope I am. A few places saying Bubba is claiming he has come home, so who knows

ZXSpectrum · 26 Jan 2015 at 11:58

Wow the crowd turned nasty after the Bryan elimination!

I thought WWE Network was free in the UK for its first month?

The first 15 days are free technically, think my first billing date is the 7th and I've had it since Friday

Awful rumble, wwe proper **** the bed with that one, Damien Sandow was getting bigger pops then Reigns. Hell the crowd wanted Rusev to win at the end.

That was absolutly terrible, really appalling RR, HHH needs to be removed from running this, he's ran it into the ground and still gives himself centre stage for big matches.

How could they chuck out Bryn as well as Ziggler that is just retarded.

Clearly people are not liking Reigns and the Rock bit was just terrible.

Can't believe how fast its all gone downhill in the WWE now.

One of the best championship matches in like the last 5 years, marred by an absolute **** poor rumble match

cu3ed · 26 Jan 2015 at 17:36

Yea the three way was great.

Apparently HHH has little control over the main franchise stuff. He is however responsible for NXT

He does now actually, his thing was to try and save PPV's with the network, hes main writer etc as well.

ThestigGT999 · 26 Jan 2015 at 19:18

the crowd was terrible IMO

Jericho.u.k · 26 Jan 2015 at 19:19

Actually vince still makes all the big decisions even overriding hhh when it suits.
The whole shove reigns down our throats is thanks to vince.

I thought the crowd were good. Wwe messed up with a pass poor rumble match.

So Lesnar is the face at mania then...

JohnnyDrama · 26 Jan 2015 at 21:22

Quick question to anyone who has WWE network. Is the Royal Rumble VOD up yet?

Edit: Or does anyone know the delay for when it will go on

Steedie · 26 Jan 2015 at 21:27

It was up at 6am this morning when I watched it. Think it goes up straight away

EDIT - Raw cancelled until Thursday due to extreme weather

JohnnyDrama · 26 Jan 2015 at 22:12

Thanks
