What Happened To EVERY Wrestler From WWE's Most Controversial Royal Rumble?

At the very least, this Royal Rumble allows us to appreciate the state of the company nowadays. Leaps and bounds better than this period of WWE

[@ChampionshipWrestlingSeries]

Great perspective

[@TheBamaPrinceable]

The WWE is still riddled with flaws but you're right, dome things have improved from what the product was a decade ago.

When you listed those names at the beginning I panicked..."I don't remember them being at the Rumble" I thought. Oh, that's the theme. Very good. 👍

If you wanna feel old just know Hook and Brooks Jensen we’re both in middle school during this rumble

[@theannilators7479]

HA! I was as well! Checkmate liberal!

[@rickyrosay33977]

I was in high school during this rumble I'm now 27

[@jodawa2504]

Who the hell is Hook? Are you referring to Josh Briggs? If so, that would make me feel old because I was 23 when the 2014 Royal Rumble PPV occurred. I was turning 24 in May of that year. I'm 33 now.

[@darren.plateroti]

@@jodawa2504 I get the joke, but Hook is Taz’ son. He is a few months younger than me (I just turned 25 last month), so he was actually in his freshman year of high school at the time.

[@Realistic316]

i still can’t believe Bray died… it’s weird when a young and popular one dies

[@TJDious]

"Controversial" is hardly an appropriate word to describe "something people didn't li-WAIT DID HE SAY TEN YEARS WTF

RIP Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper

[@davidlindsay3233]

I'd say 2015 was worse/more controversial. 2014 was a booking mistake and at least somewhat understandable, considering Batista had just come back. 2015 was WWE actively laughing at the fans. Just look at Bryan being eliminated, Goldust being next out so that "Shattered Dreams" showed on the titantron, and then obviously the whole Roman running riot/Rock debacle. Open to opinions on this one

[@BballAllStar33]

Oh man I just posted something absolutely similar to your post before reading the comments. But man I’m so happy other people share this opinion. Like as a long time viewer and fan, that was the biggest spit in the face I’ve ever felt. Thats me not even a HUGE Daniel Bryan fan or a HUGE Roman Reigns hater at that time, just the way it went down was just insulting. I’m happy Vince is out of the picture and I hope he stays out for good.

[@TheThird1977]

When you cause an entire arena to boo REY FUCKING MYSTERIO and everything he does in the match, then cheer his elimination, you know you've fucked up.

[@franklingoodwin]

Revisionism. Rey hadn't done anything of note for years and was clearly going through the motions at the time. If he hadn't the crowd wouldn't dare boo him

[@vb2806]

Rey should be booed and so should Mysterio. Seriously even if you make these people champ who can they put over? So you defeated a 5'8 H0b0 who screams Yes what's the achievement in that?

[@assadi89]

How about: "What happened to every wrestler from WSX's first episode?"

[@KingJohnMichael]

What happened to every wrestler from wcpw 😂😂😂😂😂

[@DJDoubleCee]

I gotta admit, the 2014 rumble was a lackluster event. I didn’t think it was a good idea to have Batista win the rumble.

[@KennyHavoc]

I’d say the year after but uhhhhh this is close

[@RuanAntunes7]

Both were equally controversial but for different reasons.

[@jesterr7133]

I remember that Rumble. I had taken some time off from pro wrestling after the end the Attitude Era, and I had just started watching regularly again a few months before this show, and this was actually the first PPV I had watched since I began watching it again. I purchased this PPV specifically because I knew Daniel Bryan was going to win, and I really wanted to see it live. Other than the debacle with Cody at last year's Wrestlemania, I have never been more pissed at a WWE show during my 32 years of watching. I was actually throwing stuff at the tv. I really feel bad for Bautista. He got screwed in all of this. He kinda got blamed and took all the flack for it, but it wasn't his fault. He expected a hero's welcome for his return, but got booed out of the building. WWE should have called an audible when they saw how popular Danielson was getting. There were plenty of interesting things for them to do with Bautista at the time, instead of making the fans turn on him.

[@ThegalaxyOK]

Rest in peace bray Wyatt and Luke Harper

[@BballAllStar33]

In my opinion 2015 is WAY more controversial. I actually wasted my time and went back to watch it, and it was way worse than I thought. Started off cool with Bubba Dudley return but it was downhill from there. Daniel Bryan getting eliminated early, then you have Goldust come out next with his “shattered dreams” on the titantron. That was Vince at his peak “FU fans mode”. The way Big Show and Kane who nobody gave af about during that time just threw out the top stars like garbage and were in the final 4 is pathetic. Just to have Roman go all Super Cena and throw them out.

[@alancobain9508]

Damn DB fans were just insufferable around that time 😂

[@totz_the_plaid9625]

Everyone on the pre-show/undercard deserves a HoF induction, and even ignoring the repeat wrestlers, more than half of the Rumble competitors are in or deserve to be in the HoF*. Very stacked & talented roster that night * - Unfortunately that includes Khali who doesn't deserve it but was inducted anyway.

[@samOBT715]

Ryback’s been “slagging off the ‘business’”. WWE, yes, but not the whole business. He habitually states how much he LOVES wrestling/the business and rightfully criticises how he was treated in WWE and how others’ lives are destroyed. If you guys actually researched wrestlers’ properly and treated them as human beings instead of looking down at them and getting a perverse pleasure of putting them down whenever you can; you’d come across a lot better.

[@NerdswithGuns25]

Roman has become the very thing he hated about Brock Lesnar, a part timer who won’t loose the belt, and when he does have a match it always ends the exact same bloodline story sucks now

[@KingJohnMichael]

The numbers say something else 😂😂😂

[@vb2806]

Yea he has become a star. But you enjoy Seth Rollins, look he got injured again because he was a "fighting" champ. I agree that Roman should be on tv more but Indy wrestling has destroyed the business so much that it needs to be repaired. There shouldn't be world championship matches on raw without context and there shouldn't be long matches if it's not a ppv. Roman is making more money turning his head than any of these "banger" matches wrestlers.
