I actually like Reigns (a little less after tonight though) but I hated the ending and how early Bryan went out

I don't hate Reigns.
My pet peeve is spiting your fans and SHOVING someone down their throat. Especially when you've got SO MANY options. A roster FULL of guys the audience loves.
Reigns went from the COOL guy to the "Batista" of the Rumble in just one year! That's quite a feat Vince. Must you un-cool EVERYONE when you decide they are "the one" (Smiley Diesel, Boyhood Dream HBK, Corny Ass Cena).
"Millionaire who should be a Billionaire..."
I like Reigns. But tonight might be the night they threw all his potential down the drain. Then they'll blame him for failing...cause Vince The Genius is infallible.

Okay, I understand the way they way they went about it didn't work out.
I still vastly prefer Reigns as an opponent for Lesnar to Bryan.
Especially after that match, when Lesnar is now, for all intents and purposes, a babyface.

I expected it so I'm not exactly disappointed.
I'm more than a little miffed that the one Mania I'm going to be will have Reigns in the main event though. At least I'll probably get to see Sting in person, so that might help ease the pain.

I'd have preferred it to be Ambrose but to be honest part of me feels that they need to break the back of this "...or we riot/hijack/cancel the network/shoot" stuff. Every year Austin didn't win the Rumble, nor did Rock, nor did Hogan. There weren't threats to boycott the product because of it.
I was rooting for Ambrose but I'm not complaining that he didn't win. I'll do that tomorrow.

at least it's a new fresh face and all that jazz, but Ziggler/Bryan/Ambrose deserved it more EASILY

He's not who I wanted, but I don't hate it even a quarter as much as many do. I give it a C-. If last year didn't prove it, this year certainly did. The WWE is actively against their audience at this point. Hope you guys like Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. It's probably be a good match. That said, I figure we're getting him vs Bray given the match, but no idea really.

I'll do that tomorrow. Austin won the Rumble in 1997, 1998 and 2001. And in 1999 he was in the main event, and him losing was to progress an angle. In 2000 he was injured.

Unless they call another pressured audible I guess Seth has a decent shot at walking out as champ.

I feel bad for the dude because honestly, he hasn't done anything wrong personally but he's going to get crapped on. His idiotic response toward wrestling fans criticism toward him didn't help him.

Entertained in a morbid way by seeing a multi-million dollar company try its damnedest to drive away fans.
It really is something that could only happen in wrestling. It'd be like if Disney hyped up Star Wars episode VII only for it to be 3 hours of Jar Jar Binks lecturing about midichlorians while making armpit farts the entire time and only stopping to piss on Harrison Ford's leg.

I said this in the Rumble thread and I'll say it now. Bless him, it's not his fault. Poor guy clearly works hard, it's WWE booking that screwed him over. I feel really bad for him for the next couple of months, the crowd is going to Bootista the hell out of him.

If Bryan hadn't got injured we'd have had the whole "**** YOU WWE" every month/week if he got beat/looked weak/lost the title/wasn't in the main event - whatever. We're just carrying on from where we left off. It'll continue for the foreseeable future too. There'll be people cancelling the same cancelled subscription 3 times over between now at Wrestlemania.

Where's the "I'm okay with it" option? It really shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. WWE has been pushing him hard since the last Rumble. However, Ziggler would have been a better choice given everything from Summerslam onward. Not even last year. They have been dead set on him since November 2013.

Which would be absurd, given how Star Wars has a long storied history of giving fans what they want and not pushing unlikable characters.

Option 4: Laughing at/with the crowd reactions. This, plus laughing because WWE were really dumb enough to do this again.
