Who is the last surprise Rumble winner who wasn't a surprise return from injury (so no Edge or Cena) that was satisfying? Maybe Rey?

Were people falling over themselves when Del Rio won?

He wanted to prove he could beat the poo poo out of the strongest guy on the roster without using his super saiyan mode, and he did (even if he lost). Now, this won't have any bearing on anything else ever again, but that was the intent at least.

i feel bad for yall who dont see the 3 ring binder labeled "roman reigns booking" getting crossed out and replaced with "seth rollins booking" because in a year you're gonna have no idea why you're suddenly super over seth rollins.

lol wwe is in a holding pattern until Roman comes back, Seth is just going to have a match (and lose) at mania

Then he works for the Yankees, then after they dump him, he works for the dude from Malcolm in the Middle for the rest of the series.

Del Rio was hot in 2011, it wasn't until he lost at WM that year where he got really stale and repetitive.

Makes way more loving sense than ever giving Nia a run for any reason.

She is so loving bad, and appears to be actively getting worse over time.

right in past rumbles if you hung out and the next entrant came out and got in the ring before you got in the ring, you were eliminated

What rumble has this happened? I don't think this has ever happened, ever. I think it's a reason that people make up to explain instances like how Curtis Axel was eliminated even though he never got into the ring. Or like the mystery person in 1998 that never came out or had their music play.

I mean, the loopholes are what make for unpredictable poo poo.

I think it would wear on anyone when every human being who cares about WWE saw that reaction coming literally a year in advance and yet you still have to go beat yourself up just to get poo poo on because some geriatric dipshit is incapable of getting his own way.

It’s like how even apolitical people get aggravated by our fat orange President.

Not to mention that Brock's savvy enough that he and Paul both probably told Vince that was coming way ahead of time.

Yep. I think people confuse Brock not really caring about winning or losing with some idea that he’s okay being made a gigantic fool of.

No, it was from last year’s Wrestlemania. They aired a WWE 24 about last year’s WM and showed a brief clip of the backstage drama that was talked about.
