The Chief Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Reigns didn't have outside help to win the Rumble though. Big Show & Kane were both already eliminated, then returned to the ring to beat down Reigns, which is when Rock came out. But had he not come out, Kane/Show could have whomped him at will and left him for dead until Rusev, as the only other man left in the match, reentered the ring and tossed him out. Well, that's a bit of a grey area since kayfabe nobody knew that Rusev was still in the match. They rang the bell after Reigns eliminated Show and Kane.
sek69 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 I get the feeling they are going to try to "prove" Roman isn't the hand picked guy kayfabe wise by throwing him in all sorts of wacky handicap matches to make him defend his shot. Of course this will probably only make him seem more like Always Beatin' The Odds John Cena and only irritate people more.
sek69 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Man, not even five minutes into this and the smugness is unbearable already.
Strummer Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 My god they are actually taking a commercial *during* the opening 25 minute promo. This segment is never ending
Strummer Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 25 minutes for that announcement? Oh God they are going to put Reigns over Bryan
Steenalized Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 WWE history question: when did 20+ minute opening promo become the default start of Raw?
Blehschmidt Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 So, the guy "screwed" by the "controversy" Rusev, has absolutely nothing to do with the announcement regarding it. Makes perfect sense.
Strummer Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Who gives a shit that Sika is Reigns's dad. They keep mentioning that. This is going to backfire big time. I doubt they care though
Jmare007 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 I really liked that opening segment. Unnecessary long as usual but I like were this is going. I hope they give Rollins and Bryan a lot of time if they are putting Rollins over clean.
Jmare007 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Who gives a shit that Sika is Reigns's dad. They keep mentioning that. This is going to backfire big time. I doubt they care though Eh, Reigns is getting a lot of support. He'll get Cena'd on PPVs but not on house shows/TV.
Jmare007 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Ok, that was beyond moronic. I thought this is all meant to make Reigns "earn" his shot by beating people and you make him job to the fucking Big Show.
hammerva Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 The worse part of this whole announcement is that we go another damn Big Show vs Roman Reigns match that sucked on Smackdown. And then loses?
tim Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 WWE is absolutely undecipherable right now.
Strummer Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 They are clearly trying to get sympathy for Reigns. They probably should have been doing this from the beginning. Well without jobbing to show
Blehschmidt Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Big Show and Kane obviously need protected. We just don't understand.....
Jmare007 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Man if Kane interferes and costs Bryan the match... :lol:
Steenalized Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Normally it doesn't get to me and I tune it out but damn JBL is brutal on commentary. You're supposed to put people over, not make them look bad.
sek69 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Why would you keep putting Bryan and Reigns together for segments? If the supposed goal is to make Roman into THE GUY, it would seem that the last thing you'd want is to have him anywhere near the guy getting 10x the reaction.
hammerva Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Normally it doesn't get to me and I tune it out but damn JBL is brutal on commentary. You're supposed to put people over, not make them look bad. Have you had RAW on mute for the last 14 months if you just noticed it I am not sure if it is sad or funny that the one person most responsible for getting Roman Reigns over until WM isn't actually Roman Reigns but Daniel Bryan. Of course I say this and Rollins probably beats Bryan clean as hell.
Loss Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 I think Roman Reigns did a job to somehow prove that he isn't hand-picked. Because if he truly was hand-picked, he would have won, right? More meta booking.
Strummer Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 They are trying to get sympathy for .reigns by having the Authority mess with him. They think that along with going over .bryan will get the fans to accept him. It probably makes sense to them. That's if they even care

Of course I say this and Rollins probably beats Bryan clean as hell. I've gotten very good at ignoring them. Cole, Lawler, and JBL became white noise to me but Booker T is throwing that off. No pun intended.

sek69 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Yeah so now there's doing a 100% John Cena push, where you're supposed to have doubt that a guy who always overcomes the odds will somehow not overcome them this time.
