Tonight we watched the WWE Royal Rumble, the (g) in the title will become apparent soon! This was one of the worst PPVs that I've seen in a while. The company just seem to have lost the plot, we had most of it on fast forward it was that bad!
Bryan v Wyatt was a reasonable match that served to build on Bryan's popularity and hopefully that will see the end of that story. Bryan needs to be allowed to match up with other technical wrestlers so that his skills are utilised properly.
Brock Lesnar v Big Show was a snooze fest. Lesnar cheap shotting before the bell was just shit. Two large men knocking lumps out of each other was just not fun to watch. I was impressed with Lesnar hitting the F-5 on Big Show which at least meant the match was over.
Randy Orton v John Cena for the World Heavyweight Championship was also a bit of snooze. Cena can't really wrestle that well and while Orton might be a reasonable wrestler he just isn't good enough to carry Cena to make a match good. The only fun part was the endless failed finishing manoeuvres and listening to the crowd chant for Daniel Bryan. It was a screwy finish with the Wyatt family getting involved but for me it was the lesser of two evils with Orton winning. I only say this as I dislike Cena more! Waste of a championship match that was!
The Royal Rumble itself was OK. Roman Reigns was a real power house with a record breaking twelve eliminations so I am expecting to see big things from him soon as The Shield starts to disintegrate.It was great to see Kevin Nash put in an appearance. Dolph Ziggler got a great crowd reception which was nice to see as he also seems to have been overlooked by the WWE of late. Big thumbs up to CM Punk for lasting the longest. Was gutted that Batista won. He's only been back for a few weeks and this was his first proper match and yet he goes and gets the big prize and Wrestlemania championship match. Whatever happened to at least trying to earn your way back up the ranks? Instead people like Ziggler and Bryan will once again be standing in the wings while the big muscle heads are faffing about at the top!
Royal Rumble? Royal (g)Rumble!!!!!!!!!!!!
