Can someone find me the Rumble thread, and maybe even the page that the revolt began on here?

I am in agreement with those who believe that Bad News Barrett should have been #30. That would have been epic.

Hey guys, let's just wait and see Tired of this expression especially when it did work out in the case of the Yes Movement & Wrestlemania XXX If fans had just waited and seen, and not shit all over Batista or other segments involving the title, Bryan would've never been in the Mania 30 title match. |

Kinda ironic to see some pulling for Roman Reigns to win, given recent events. |

Proof that once upon a time, people liked Roman Reigns. |

1. I remember people in the Rumble thread saying that Mysterio still hadn't come out, so my thought was, "Oh my God. They're really doing this."
2. By the time Mysterio came out, I was laughing, because it really hit me that they were dumb enough to not put Bryan in.
3. When it got down to the final two, I was a little torn. Part of me wanted Batista to win just to see how bad the reaction would be, and the other part of me wanted to see Roman win, because at that point, f*** it. But I knew Batista was going to win, so I was just sort of along for the ride.

Well at first I was really hoping that Bryan would enter the Rumble, although I figured since he took a Sister Abigail into the barricade earlier on I thought WWE would use that as an excuse not to put him in the Rumble match.
I started feeling uneasy about things around the time JBL entered, to the point where I honestly couldn't believe that they put in joke entrants such as JBL and El Torito and yet keep out Bryan.
After Big E came out I racked my brain thinking of who could possibly come out next at #30, still hoping that Bryan would come out until I remembered Mysterio had cut a promo about being in the Rumble earlier on and I immediately groaned.
When Rey came out I genuinely felt bad for him and everyone who was in the ring, because despite what retcons say the match itself was actually pretty decent up until Rey came out, and now they were getting **** on for reasons out of their control. I have never seen such a backlash from a live crowd before in my entire time as a wrestling fan. Then it all fell apart from there. It didn't help that it was plainly obvious that Batista was winning despite the fact he'd only been back for a week and was so gassed he made Rock look like freakin' Sami Zayn.
When it got down to Reigns and Batista I was really pulling for Reigns to win even though I knew it was Batista's to win. And yeah, Dave won. Michael Cole saying "Deal with it!" didn't help matters either.
Afterwards I went on Twitter and the level of vitriol was so entertaining it kind of made it worth it but not really. The real damning tweet that I saw was Mick Foley asking if WWE actually had no respect for their fans and that he'd never been so disgusted with a PPV before. On the plus side he got to smash a TV and I got a reply from him when I asked if he'd filmed it, so it worked out for me on that level.
The prospect of Batista/Orton as the main event at the 30th WrestleMania was pretty depressing, especially since it was quite possibly the least interesting match up that they could've came up with. Then the reports came out saying that Bryan was going to be wrestling Sheamus instead (which Bryan confirmed in an interview the other day) and I just couldn't believe they were not paying attention to a guy who was getting the crowd to go absolutely mental for him. My dad, who is a casual fan at best, said to me he hadn't seen reactions like that on a consistent basis since Austin and Rock were in their prime. It was that obvious that Bryan should have been the guy who won the Rumble. It still boggles the mind (regardless of how it all ended up anyway) that it was genuinely the plan at one stage to do Batista/Orton and Bryan/Sheamus.

It was probably the only time in the whole Bryan main event push from mid-2013 to his injury that I was something close to pissed off. Not so much pissed off, but... hurt and disappointed.

Orton/Christian belongs nowhere on this. Their feud was superb. Neither does the Ryder image. That entire storyline was hilarious and I loved every week of it. Nash shouldn't be on there because that implies it may have, at some point, actually had the potential to be good.  |

I completely forgot about Rey when the countdown was going and getting excited, potentially for Bryan. Then Rey came out and I was annoyed. Then the crowd booed and that turned into awe.
Seriously, not even December to Dismember had a crowd that rowdy and reactive to something. I was basking in how surreal it was in between hoping somehow Reigns would win.
I also agree with others who said until that point, that Rumble was pretty damn fun. Still was, the ending just made it even more memorable.

I felt bad for Rey, but I also enjoyed hearing him get booed.

I was thinking 'Son of a bitch!' and hoping the crowd would express my thoughts to WWE. They pretty much did.

The moment I will always remember from Rey coming out is that he literally came out to silence. Not a person reacted until he got into the ring.
It was like they were waiting for the right moment to unleash hell.

Mysterio was in the Rumble headshot video package, FFS. Anyone who actually thought Bryan might be #30 was being delusional.
