I wonder if they'll try to tie 'The people don't matter' into the Rock winning with 'The People's Elbow'.

Safe booking = predictable WM matches = under a million buys. Glad I'm not a shareholder. Predicting PPV buys are we?

Usually I don't like screwy finishes... but I think it's best they ended it with The Rock getting pinned, and have the attacker(s) remain a mystery, and turn out to not be The Shield.

If Wrestlemania 28 isn't Rock/Cena/Punk in a 3-way, I will get slightly angry. Jeez Louise will you calm down?

Remember, the objective is to have the crowd go home happy, not the IWC. It's an anti-Cena crowd in that building. WWE needs to stop thinking of their fans and the IWC as separate entities. Everybody has an internet connection and if they're a wrestling fan, they talk about wrestling on the internet, making them part of the IWC. Silly bear. No one who has gone to a wwe event has a computer. The IWC is a shadowy cult that only favors Japanese wrestlers and obscure indy wrestlers.

I dont understand the people hating on the elbow.
It's the same elbow he won all his other titles with, and they did have a pretty long match before it.....

Pretty good show, honestly I would have felt more ripped off at either the Shield interference leading to victory or Vince stripping the title than one of the biggest stars in history winning clean.
The Rumble itself was okay, but it's pretty clear that Patterson isn't involved much in booking it anymore.
Good show overall.

Also just for the sake of saying it....that match sucked and the Rock couldn't hold up his end of it to save his life.

I can't believe anyone is too angry about something we knew was coming a long long time ago. It is like being mad about winter arriving. It was inevitable. I'm just as mad at myself for believing that something different than what was expected/obvious.

They should just go back to Jericho vs. CM Punk, do everything they did the last time around only Jericho will be a face this time.

"THIS IS WWE THIS IS WHAT WE DO AT OUR BEST" Worst PPV I've ever seen. why because the iwc doesn't get what it wants? i'm aint too pleased either but come on now No, because WWE has essentially screwed itself over by making Cena the eternal focal point of the show. It has made every other star worth very little. When he's gone, their ratings are going to be gone too.

As to the finish, Punk made a point trashing the people and he lost to the people's elbow. Pretty poetic.

I hate the IWC term and the internet darling term. The people who think that only internet fans like CM Punk would've been the same people who thought only internet fans like Steve Austin back in 96, 97 because of his work in ECW and WCW. If you're on this forum, you're a part of the IWC. Bottom line.

I think a lot of us had (for whatever reason) the hope that, for once, the WWE wouldn't go the predictable route. Then they did. In the worst way.

Rock's beaten major guys with the move before. Sometimes with a Rock Bottom, but yeah its not like he went out and defeated people with the Cobra.

I love this forum's reaction. I love it. If you hate it stop watching it. If you love it love it. Thank you FAN ROFL I'm still gonna watch it. Just that I HATE THIS. Yeah but there's been worse. This isn't even comparable to Booker losing to HHH at WM. Besides, who else was going to take the title from Punk that makes sense?

I like how stupid this makes Punk look, too.
Vince: "Punk, if the Shield gets involved in your match at the Rumble, you will be stripped of the title." Punk: (after Vince leaves) "Don't worry Paul, I got this...hey, Reigns. Turn the lights out before you attack Rock on Sunday. This plan is flawless."
