Royal Rumble Fallout Thread **Look For Merged Topics Here**

[Bralon23]

I'm actually ok with Cena winning the Rumble. It is kinda expected too since he did job mostly all of 2012.

I'm also ok with Punk losing the title, i'm just not ok with the finish. I'm not even mad at the People's Elbow per say, I just think he should have did the Rock Bottom then do the elbow.

From the looks of things, the Rock will be around for quite some time as well, which is ok I guess.

Good run Punk, i'm actually surprised they let CM Punk have this kind of a run, but a hell of a run it was.

The RUmble match, itself, I enjoyed. I think most people got pretty decent amount of time, it was a good pace and nice job keeping the entrants under wraps. was not expecting Jericho, never crossed my mind either.

I mean ROck vs Cena 2... so much for Once in a Lifetime, however, it is a money drawer so i can't be mad that they are possibly doing it again (I know 90% chance they will but you never know). Personally, I think it shouldn't happen again and it' not that I didn't like the 1st one. The 1st match was fine, but unless the Rock is planning on being here longer, I'd rather see someone else face Cena and have someone else face the Rock.

But if the Rock is planning on being here longer, I think he needs to have more matches to pick up the pace a bit

That's my gripe. We're not naive enough to believe that Rock would ever appear regularly after WM and like you said, it wasn't that I didn't like the 1st match, I just don't want to see it again.

I appreciated Cena putting everyone over in 2012, but if it was just to bury everyone again in 2013, then there was really no point in doing it. It's like they went forward just to go backwards again.

I actually do not mind Ryback as well. Comparing the 2, Ryback does seem more interesting. SIn Cara has too many things working against him really and maybe is just not quite ready.
I also like how they aren't making Ryback a super unstoppable force, he is not Goldberg and really, how they are making him,i'm not sure why people still chant goldberg..

Yeah I don't understand that either. People like antagonizing and heckling others, so I guess that'll always be part of what happens with the crowd. I just think Ryback has the potential to be a major name for a long time and could possibly go down as one of the the top 10 of all time.

It would have been nice to see at least ONE surprise finish...a decent twist...something...as exciting as an episode of Smackdown...yawn!

More and more PPV's end like this, with a whimper not a bang. The WWE's hands are tied creatively, since without the competition being risque like WCW was and the ability to say, "Oh yeah, well look what they're doing! We're not so bad!" on top of which there is no other incentive to raise the bar since, while some might turn off or refuse to tune in, there's still and always going to be thousands and thousands who will. I think that pisses off some anti WWE fans the most.

I'm still chortling now.

When Cena wins the title at Wrestlemania and has a lengthy run with the subsequent rise in ratings and merch sales, I'll be sitting here watching the IWC blinking away not sure how it's possible, as it's not what they wanted or believed would happen.

Perhaps then we may get some realisation of how small a percentage we actually are.

You know what Wade? Punk got what? A 434 day title reign. It's never going to be enough for some fans. They won't be happy until Cena is dead and WWE is writing what they want them to write. Only as usual once they get it, they don't want it anymore.

Now before I start this I just wanna say I really do not want too see the rock and cena again they really didn't have that magic together like a rock vs Austin 3times but why are people mad about the rock getting the champion ship if it were Brock lesnar stone cold or HBK or undertaker you people would have no problem with it so why are people upset about the rock winning

What are the odds of the lights going out being the Undertaker? Punk did say recently in an interview that he doesn't have much else to prove outside of winning the Rumble and facing Taker at Mania.
Did Taker set up Punk to coax him into a match?

I'm pretty sure I would be pissed if any of the people you mentioned won the title... Don't tell me How I would react to something. You don't know me

Undertaker couldn't move that fast
