Gumball Gumption posted:And I don't get the Seth hate outside of the idea that people would hate whoever gets put on the top because WWE is excellent at watering people down. People always want something else until that person actually get picked and WWE starts watering them down. Same thing will happen to Becky if she wins the title and gets a long reign. He’s a Nazi.

Kinda like how Dolph Ziggler winning in any way would have been awful. lmao he made this big attention seeking gesture about oooohh is dolph gonna leave is he gonna retire or go to aew or something ooh ooh pay attention to dolph and he just shows up three weeks later like george loving costanza showing back up at yankee stadium monday morning.

achillesforever6 posted:That and if want to be a little lovely in saying this, but when WWE likes doing these intergender stuff they usually want one of the bigger stronger women's wrestlers to do it. At this point I am 100% sure that vague leaks about Nia made people assume it was going to be Becky, and they're rolling with the "Vince changed his mind" to cover for that assumption.

Rarity posted:Predictable results work great but there needs to be a story to get invested in that guides the predictability. Just look at Becky winning which is the culmination of about three months of her arc. Seth's not had any kind of story with Brock or the Universal title and he only cared about winning the Rumble last week. Instead it's just 'the guy you thought was gonna win the Rumble won, that's cool I guess' The only possible face I give the tiniest poo poo about won the rumble, so I'm cool with it Sorry I like a wrestler you guys don't like but, hell, I've liked Roman for years so I'm used to it

I am genuinely curious why, story-wise, Finn wouldn't use the demon against loving BROCK when he felt it was needed against baron corbin if they were gonna do a switch and have him win the rumble, I'd get it. But they obviously did not.

Testekill posted:Predictable things are fine when the execution is good. Guess what the rumble wasn't It's like people (being generous to that one idiot not calling him out specifically so I'll assume multiple others legit think that) literally forgot a full second half of an hour long Rumble being booed because actually everyone knew Reigns was winning, and even indie geeks getting eliminated by Show and Kane didn't help, and even Dwayne coming out and raising his hand after couldn't help

The problem is Seth WAS on loving fire last year and they squandered it, and now they're striking while the iron is cold, and they've had weeks to heat it up and they've chosen not to. Seth is still a decent choice, but all you have to do is look at the women's rumble to be reminded how it feels when a win has actual context and build.

Would've rather Drew won than Seth, but Bork seems like he gives more of a poo poo when he's not in a Clash of the Titans sort of a match, so Seth it is.

MotU posted:scrubs just show up and talk like they know anything its embarassin The thing is the lack of consistency about the lack of consistency about the rules. There's no way to know which rules with precedent apply and which don't until and unless a Thing happens and it either goes unremarked or the current state of the rule is enumerated. In past rumbles, you could beat someone up to take their spot. But in past rumbles you could not just hang out ringside and bide your time indefinitely, until suddenly you could.

Intruder posted:The only possible face I give the tiniest poo poo about won the rumble, so I'm cool with it roman, whom I hope heals and is happy, has always been and will always be a mediocre wrestler. when he comes back and this board convinces itself to love him for a month or two, he'll still be bad. seth is a very good wrestler and it would be great if he took the belt off brock. maybe he even will, and that will be cool. but this was a badly booked way of starting that - especially when we've been explicitly told to expect giant shocks and "shake ups" and just keep getting telegraphed, predictable results at the end of extremely long, dragging shows.

also, since Seth is challenging a guy who is never around at Mania, they had to set up a loving feud with Bobby loving Lashley to kill time so that tiny iota of poo poo I give can be stomped into oblivion by April

Now, this won't have any bearing on anything else ever again, but that was the intent at least.

The rule about being eliminated when the next guy comes out was just made up for one year where they had a guy get beat up in the entryway and never make it to the ring.
