Just thought I'd give some thoughts from someone there live:
There's a spotlight that was facing our section (and probably ones facing all others), making it hard to watch any video packages as immediately after the package, boom, spotlight. f*** that spotlight.
Roman vs. Seth was great until the finish.
Women's Rumble was pretty solid, I thought. Crowd seemed into all the surprises and Ronda Rousey got a great reaction.
Becky vs. Doudrop was overshadowed by the WrestleMania sign that caught fire. The section I was in was kind of like "Yeah, there's a match, but hey, sign on fire".
Brock vs. Bobby was good, though pretty much everybody in the crowd knew the ending of the show once the finish happened. I mean, it was obvious, but still.
Didn't actually see the mixed tag match; that was the merch match for my brother and I, lol. I've heard good things, though!
Men's Rumble suuuucked. It got to #15 and people around me were like "When are the surprises happening". Bad Bunny and Shane were cool, but holy shit, when Brock came out, the reaction was BAD.
Also, wasn't a fan of the parking situation. I bought pre-pass parking, but there weren't many spots and it felt kinda disorganized. Fun time though anyway and hi to anyone I may have seen and/or bumped into!

Wait, so it DID lose the live crowd at the end. Was it in a 2014/2015 “F*** this company, BOOOOOOO” kind of way or just that defeated “Let’s try and beat the traffic, I know what’s gonna happen here” way? |

Of course, the one time they consider making a young star, it’s the one with all the problematic baggage. |

Oh, it was absolutely "f*** this company" boos from what I could tell. I haven't had a chance to watch some of it back yet, but there were children in my section booing Brock winning. Nobody wanted it. |

Nobody wanted it. Well, damn. I don’t recall noticing that reaction watching it live, but when he came out I went into that glazed over “Yeah, I see what’s happening here” mode and stopped paying attention, so I couldn’t tell you what the reaction was one way or the other. |

Yeah, I mean, I'm going to watch it back a bit to see how it came across and maybe in other sections, it was better received, but certainly not in the one I was in. Then again, people were already kinda pissed in my section from that spotlight shining in our eyes the entire night so I mean, eh. |

Riddle would have been a weird choice. Don’t know how to feel about that. Randy, on the other hand, might have been the right call. |

Either Riddle/Randy would have gotten a great crowd reaction. RKBro revitalized Randy bigtime. He's "fun" again.

Riddle IMO would have been a far better choice just for the fact it would have been someone new getting elevated with the added bonus he is already really over.
Which makes the choice for Bork even more depressing.

Wow, Riddle or Orton being considered is surprising. I wonder if that means one of them will win the Chamber title match and fight the other at Mania. I’d be down for that.

I was in the Arena and my section seemed mostly excited to see Brock. It could go either way. I was proud that my section was doing the TNA chant when they did the AJ vs Roode staredown. |
