[The True Believer]

What did you think of the show?

I think somewhere between an 8 or 9 is a good enough pick for me. Loved most of the outcomes, a lot of my favorite had strong showings and the right person won the match overall. And hey, look at that, no hijacking this time around. What'd you know, WWE? Book a good show and people are happy! Weird, right?

 

[Natecore]

I gave it a 0.

I shouldn't have to explain why.

 

[Da Alliance]

I gave it an 8. I definitely enjoyed it more than any RR in the past 5 years

 

[Dr. Middy]

Gave it a strong 8.

The Undercard was very strong and everything was solid, and the rumble itself was really awesome with the exception of the predictable finish. At least it was logical though, so fine by me.

 

[Tony]

I'd give it an 8.

I liked almost every match and the Royal Rumble match itself had some cool moments. Not all that surprised at the outcome but it makes things interesting in this Road to Wrestlemania.

AJ FREAKING STYLES ON WWE TELEVISION. Legit never thought I'd see the day :banderas

 

[The Game]

It was a solid 8. Very enjoyable.

 

[Oxidamus]

8 was the number that first came to mind, but overall I think I'll have to give it a 6. Nothing was stand-out except for the mid-card in the Rumble. Other than that everything was decent or just barely better than average. It was all watchable though, so I think a 6-7 is a fair rating. Because of the nonsense in the Rumble though, I'll go closer to a 6, even though I'm glad HHH won.

 

[RKing85]

7-8 sounds about right.

Owens/Ambrose was awesome. Kalisto winning the title was nice (PLEASE go with it WWE). And while a year ago I would have said HHH should never hold the title again, I have 0 problems what so ever with him winning it tonight and them doing HHH/Reigns at Mania.

 

[PhilThePain]

0. The ending is everything.

 

[Marrakesh]

I can't appreciate it as a stand alone event because the outcomes are leading to the continuation of HHH/McMahons vs Reigns (which has been horrible to watch these past few weeks and will culminate in Roman going over at Mania, who gives a shit at this stage :shrug) and Brock vs the Wyatts (This might just be the final nail in their coffin)

The match itself was nothing special. People are popping for the ending without taking into account the REAL ending which is at Wrestlemania.

That was the beginning.

Will you be as appreciative of the Rumble in three months time when the context sets in and Reigns is the WWE champion again, smiling and fist bumping fans on his way to the ring to feud with Del Rio or Rusev? I doubt it.

Did not enjoy that match.

 

[skarvika]

Solid 10/10 because of the ending:lawler

 

[DaRealNugget]

8/10

wasn't expecting to enjoy it that much, as i haven't enjoyed the past few rumbles and i haven't watched a whole lot of wwe since the "summer of punk" angle in 2011. all the matches were on point, and they all had me invested in the characters and the stories they were trying to tell, which is what i look for most in my wrestling(and is why LU is king).

for the first time in a long time, ima watch RAW tomorrow. i'll probably be disappointed, but it feels nice to look forward to monday night wrestling once again, even if it's only for one night.

 

[Kabraxal]

5. Some good first matches... but then the RR match shit the bed. Another in a string of terrible RR matches and mediocre Rumbles overall. Hope the ratings tank more and force this shit company to change.

 

[Achilles]

8. Aside from the Kalisto/Del Rio match, I was enthralled for most of the night.

 

[T0M]

8 for me. The undercard was really enjoyable with the exception of the tag title match which bored me.

I knew Triple H was going to be number 30 and was 90% sure he was going to win so that was fine. As long as Reigns didn't pull off the superman bullshit after having medical treatment then it was fine.

 

[What_A_Maneuver!]

I gave it a good 8.

Awesome stuff.

 

[Swagsuke]

10/10, loved it the whole way through. Ambrose vs Owens was fucking brutal and was a ridiculously tense match with great spots. Kalisto vs Del Rio was also a really good matchup, given how well the 2 luchadors work with each other. Becky vs Charlotte was a really good match, with the highlight being Sasha confronting the two other women. I absolutely loved the Rumble as well. AJ Styles having a great debut to a very good pop, Owens eliminating Styles, and Zayn carrying his feud with Owens to the main roster. I also loved seeing Bray go over Brock, and Dean Ambrose being in the final 2.

I really can't remember enjoying a PPV this much in a while

 

[DeeGirl]

8. Best PPV for a long time and the best rumble for years. Probably since 2009. WWE did a good job tonight :clap

Although the winner may have been obvious, there was still a lot of enjoyable stuff in that rumble and the Owens/Ambrose match earlier in the night was a MOTY candidate. All in all, a good start to 2016.

 

[Balto]

I only really watched the rumble match. Halfway through that match(I started late) the notification spoiled the match for me for fuck sake.

As for the match itself, It was beyond amazing to see Aj in a wwe ring. Loved seeing Lesnar do his thing. Liked wyatt family's part as well. Ambrose was great at the end as well.

Other then that it was medioce rumble with horrible ending. Couple of things i'd like to say:

- Why wasn't AJ in last four to five instead if Jericho? Who honestly that Jericho was going to win the rumble? Aj would have benefited from staying longer in the rumble and it would have created more suspence Atleast.

- Why did Reigns spend half the match backstage lol in a "one vs all" rumble.

- I thought lesnar was going to go back in any second but it was a bit weird the way he left.

- Why did HHH win the rumble? With leadership like this, this company is beyond fucked. No wonder their product is bad as it is. They just can't help but feed their own egos.

 

[Prosper]

Definitely an 8. Very good show and a great Rumble. New Day, Sasha Banks, and AJ Styles were the major highlights tonight. The crowd was HOT too which is always a plus.
