"Cruiserweights"
I love Cruiserweight wrestling but the WWE's Cruiserweight style is straight up boring
Lucha Underground do it much better, even though it is branded "Lucha".

Number TEN.

Really hope we dont see Reigns or Taker at Mania.
Was a shame not to see Balor but was probably justified after being out so long. Was the perfect time to push Samoa Joe into the main roster via the Rumble too instead of sticking him in the NXT crowd last night to hint at him running for yet another NXT Title match, 1st person to win it 2 times i think what else does he need to prove in NXT. I guess it could mean Nakamura might be pushed to the main roster just as Balor returns which would be awesome but harsh if Joe doesnt get pushed 1st.
Soldato
I have a really bad feeling that Reigns is gonna retire Taker at Mania.....ugh!
Really don't care for either. The Reigns character is toxic garbage and Taker is about 10 years past being worth of a high spot on the card. All his offence tonight looked soft as hell!

He's garbage for sure they need to stop pushing big men, no one needs to see Taker, Reigns, Mark Henry, Braun and The Big Show in the same ring
. Having guys like Owens, Zayn, Nakamura, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Balor, Chris Hero (even overweight he can out wrestle most of the main roster talent), Eric Young, Hideo Itami all at the WWE but not all able to wrestle each other is weak.
Soldato
Well, the RR wasn't great. No Joe, AJ lost the title, James Ellsworth took up a spot for any other wrestler. Taker looked worse than when Diesel was in it a few years back. End was meh...

Anyone else message on network saying you need to wait 24 hours for a replay as it needs to be shown on some random India sports channel?
Soldato
Doesn't the network always do that? You can watch live but have to wait 24hours for a replay.
The more and more I think about it, the more I think a load of spaces were utterly wasted.

Not from my memory, if I pay for a service I should be able to watch it when I want. Waiting 24 hours because of a channel in another country makes no sense.
Lots of places were wasted, elswoth, enzo, henry,big show etc,
No samoa joe makes no sense.

Taker is without doubt my favourite wrestler of all time, but when I rewatch some of his old matches like Badd Blood (HBK) and Foley (KOTR), and compare it to the way he looked last night, I'm really begging for him to stop and get an amazing send off before he starts to look too ridiculous.
Soldato
I agree... It was a complete let down. The WWE REALLY needs to keep a lid on their storylines for stuff like this. Others online reported that Orton would win. I don't have a problem with him but it was just.. WTF are they thinking?
And yes No Joe was utterly stupid. AJ Debuted last year to an amazing surprise reaction and I am sure Joes would have been as big. Oh I must have skipped past the Brock/Goldberg bit and didn't even realise til the end.
Soldato
Agreed, he looked like an old big man. Nothing really menacing. He was struggling to get about and the moves he hit were nothing too impactful. I can see him retiring at WM.
Thought the whole show was pretty poor.
Styles vs Cena was very good. Wrong outcome after Cena's promo the other day though imo.
Also, I wonder if Jericho was legitimately injured at the start, as he spent a long time out of the Rumble
WWE certainly know how to troll the audience with Reigns...During the KO match he kicked out of the frog splash through the table, a superman punch by KO, brass knuckles and even a stunner! Then he comes out at 30 in the Rumble and eliminates Taker
As it was counting down to 30, I was absolutely certain it was Reigns, as that is what WWE do!

Honestly they have made a big balls up with not including Joe in the RR. It would have been a great springboard into the main roster. The only way I could see that they could rectify is to have Joe come out on Raw tonight and beat the heck out of anyone that was in the RR that shouldn't have been. So Ellsworth, Kalisto, Tye Dillinger, Crews etc... And do the same on Smackdown. He could say he has been disrespected by the WWE management so he is taking revenge. He was NXT Champion and was passed over so they could get a gimmick laugh from Ellsworth, Rawley and whoever Jack Gallagher is.
