Be honest. Did that not summarize damn near everything wrong with WWE?

I'm just imagining how hot the crowd could have been with a Reigns, Bryan, Ziggler, and Ambrose final four.
But you know using Big Show and Kane as the focus of your main event angle in 2015 is just as good.

Vince probably thought that they were just getting amazing heel heat

To make Big Show and Kane look good.
Seriously, that's more disappointing than reigns winning.

Do you want a view of the WWE's future. Imagine Big Show and Kane stomping on Cesaro's face, forever.

They had Ziggler, Bray, and Ambrose taken out to put over those two...
Holy Shit, this company is ridiculous.

I am completely fine with Big Show and Kane serving as The Authority's massive, Gregor Clegane-esque monstrous enforcers. That's a great idea, and makes for plenty of cool images and moments.
I do not support Reigns winning the rumble at all, but in a vacuum by itself this was not a bad finish.

Most would probably say their very presence in the Final Four sums up what's wrong

I wouldn't have even minded Reigns eliminating them if he'd done it in a cool way. But just having Show lightly tap them in the face, then having them throw them over the top rope like they're garbage bags? Nah, f*** you WWE creative. You guys suck, like, a garbage bag completely filled to the brim of dicks. |

Could have worked if the WWE didn't lose the crowd so early. Didn't help that everything about the ending was sloppy as all hell.

Using Bryan as a heat device for Wyatt was already a bad enough idea, but having Show and Kane do those plodding, depressing team eliminations of Ziggler, Wyatt, and Ambrose was just insane.

It wasn't a bad idea but this was the wrong year for this. Kane and Show as the nasty enforcers work great, we've seen this before but this just wasn't the year to have them kill all the favorites and have the guy everybody doesn't want to win actually win. Don't get me wrong I like Reigns but sometimes you need to just go with the flow and Reigns wasn't in that flow

You could just see the desperate strategy that went into it.
Eliminate Bryan early enough so the crowd could pick a new favorite later.
Failed because they waited too long to send out Ambrose or Ziggler or anyone else with any fire and heat.
Show and Kane, guaranteed to be people the crowd didn't want to win, do heel eliminations.
Nobody left except for Reigns, Show, and Kane. Plan is to replicate the audience desire to see Reigns beat Batista last year.
This fails because...people actually believed Batista could win. They could get behind Reigns because he was a true underdog.
Kane and Show are not winning. Crowd couldn't care less.
Reigns wins, a short pop of relief is quickly turned to anger and apathy.

And it would have been so easy to swap Bray and Luke Harper for Kane and Show. Hell Big Show would even make more sense as the guy dominating early instead of Bray. |

As I have said in the past, all of mid-to-late 2014's booking would have been better if Kane had been replaced with Cesaro. |

You know, with WWE laying another Egg and TNA being TNA, if not for New Japan, I might not even bother with Wrestling at all.
