The 2012 Rumble had way too many spots taken up by announcers/legends/joke entrants. It just didn't feel like a serious match, although I did like the Jericho/Sheamus sequence to end it. yup really didnt need Cole, JR & Booker otherwise a very good battle royal, esp. the Sheamus-Jericho finish

The only thing that sucked was the reaction of Jinder Mahal's entrance. That at least holds interest as perhaps the quietest an arena has ever gotten during a match.

I think it's that much worse when you consider it had to follow a much stronger 2011 rumble.
But honestly that whole show disappointed. Even what should have been a can't miss hit in Punk/Ziggler was a bust.

Yes.
Because of how great 1992 and 2002 were, I had huge expectations for 2012.
It didn't even come close.

Yes. Because of how great 1992 and 2002 were, I had huge expectations for 2012. It didn't even come close. I will be fair and say, yeah, compared to those two, it wasn't close. Besides that, I had fun. The number of Rumble matches that weren't fun to me I could count on one hand. Two of them being 1995, which makes present Rumbles look like the All Star parade and 1999, which was a goddamn mess.

I liked it. It's really hard for me to say I didn't like a Rumble (Although 1995 and 2011 are contenders).

I enjoyed both 2011 and 2012's rumbles. Just picked up both on blu ray for a bargain.

Jericho lost to Sheamus. Yeah, it sucked.

Adored it. It was the most fun Rumble in years and hit a solid balance of having enough guys without the ring feeling empty (2010) or too many that the match slows down (2009). Really replace Big Show as an entrant with somebody more interesting and would have been even better.
