I guess I'm wondering about those people who are down on Angle in general now or who don't like Sting/Luger vs Steiners. People like my co-host Chad, for example.

I don't know I've seen a fair bit of Cena and he only ever seems to hit finishers to me. It's like his entire offensive arsenal is built around the idea of the false finish. Product of the time I guess, but as I've watched more 70s wrestling, I've become less and less enamoured at the very concept of a finisher and here's a guy who seems to be only finisher. I did enjoy the match, but I had it at **** and others seem to be talking about it in MOTY terms, so I'm guessing I'm lower than most. Part of me also wonders if that was Scott Steiner circa 1992 or Kurt Angle circa 2002 throwing 20 German suplexes people might not be going so ga ga over it. But Brock seems to get a pass. But you know me, I love suplexes! I didn't think Rollins was very good in the match, and the stretch with Cena brought it down a fair bit.

He never went for the STF in the match IIRC which I thought was odd. The only sub attempt I remember was Brock's Kimura which Cena stood up out of leading to a flying knee to Brock's skull from Seth I wrote in a Facebook chat that Cena only ever seems to do one move. The AA was like his sole offense in that match.

I don't like current emaciated Rock, no eyebrows, bald, skinny.

No one has mentioned Bryan in the post show. No one. He's not in focus. No one has mentioned Bray either. Completely bizarre. Vince talked about listening to the crowd, so what the fuck was that?

If he was responsible for booking that Rumble, I agree with you.

Worse than Rumble 88 anyone?

Seriously what the fuck is this?

I don't get it. Bray is eliminated now, and not even in a big elimination? So why? What the fucking fuck?

This feels like it's one step away from Big John Studd winning at the moment.

If Bryan does somehow make it back into the match, it would be horrible. Because he got eliminated fair and square with no skullduggery, so why should he get a second shot? There's no way they'd do that surely. Not even Hogan got a second shot.

I can't think of a top star in any era at any time who'd just get eliminated almost randomly like that. Bray didn't cheat. They killed crowd. They buried Bryan. They didn't get anyone over. So weird.

I am completely baffled by the booking.

Wow!

Extremely smartly booked.

I've always always wanted a team to do this at the Rumble. I really hope they do! At least for three eliminations. Edit: oh well.

Shades of PN News here ...

This historical sequence is really good.

One of the better triple threat matches I've ever seen. About **** Only part of the match I didn't like was the near fall finisher fest when it was Cena vs. Rollins.

This is some decent psychology here. Brock establishes his dominance with about fifteen Germans, so the other two double team him. But as I say that Cena goes after Rollins. He deserved another german for that. Stay on the monster.

I wish Dick and Kal were here for this.

Standard of promos: not bad. No one stood out. No one is natural, including Bryan. But no one was worse than say, Rick Martel.

I don't want to be all negative, so I'll say this divas match was better than the average "trough" match from an 80s or early 90s WWF PPV. Bella worked stiffer than The Warlord, and I mean that in a good way.

The Mercury/Noble thing? I thought it was fun. Pretty enjoyable for a glorified advert. It was crap.

Atrocious skit just now just before the women's match. Appalling. Embarrassing.
