Wrestling has to be the only genre where 95% of all current discussion is what happened X amount of decades ago

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Because it was much better decades ago talking about todays wrestling is boring as hell

At this point the World heavyweight title felt like a mid cart title

[@vjwebb6182]

Facts during this time period world heavyweight championship seem like it was title for mid card wrestlers which made the title a joke unless a main eventer made it important.

[@morganwoodmusic]

This event will always have a special place in my heart. When I was younger I had a “Road to Wrestlemania 2012” dvd boxset which had the rumble, elimination chamber and Wrestlemania 28 in it. I watched those events so many times. Ahhh memories

[@NostalgiaKing90]

I enjoyed the ppv, but Chris Jericho should've won the Royal Rumble match.

[@M._mkid]

At least he got a title match against cm punk at WrestleMania 28

[@NostalgiaKing90]

@M._mkid Yes. I'm glad he still got the match.

John Cena and Kane's filler fued.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Embrace the hate. It wasn’t filler for Zack Ryder tho

Kane after 2004 was essentially the level 1 enemy you see in wwe story modes

[@satishmehta684]

Sheamus just lost to Bron Breakker at Saturday's Night Main Event I hope he wins the Intercontinental Title at Wrestlemania and gets a long 7-8 months reign filled with opponents who can complement him in the ring Its time he wins it At his age he still has arguably the best hard hitting matches

The Royal Rumble in the 2010s overall was mid outside of 2010 and 2018

2019 was pretty great

[@kingash9831]

​​@@Jordan-ti9ocI actually found 2019's Royal Rumble match from the men the most disappointing alongside 2015 in the 2010's 2019 just felt average Sure there was an RKO moment on Nia Jax But that's all I remember from that match Nothing stood out for me It was so bland boring With no high stakes And it felt like There were no real iconic moments that took place

[@SlasherLink119]

Good ending for Rumble, one of the times where I think they should have just stuck with the obvious winner of Jericho to set up the Punk match, instead of have Jericho lose Rumble, then get taken out of Chamber, I don't even remember how the set up was executed...

[@guillermosierracuellar9812]

Honestly like how wm 28 went and how she us got the short match while Jericho got the better match and placement Jericho deserved to win the rumble

The biggest issue is that we got a horrible payoff with sheamus Bryan match at WrestleMania. Plus the cena Kane was double countout result. I liked kharma return tho. Too many midcarders in the rumble match

Agreed, Chrst Jericho should've won, not Sheamus. We all know how that match at wm28 went.

[@ShaughnTorres]

Sheamus won the 2012 Royal Rumble bc if Jericho wins it would be too obvious bc he cane back weeks earlier before the Rumble and Sheamus at this point was projected to be the face of SD like Batista in 2005

[@GodMode_Zay]

2010 and 2016 where the only good 2010’s rumbles

[@Not_Sal]

Have you made a video on the 2016 Royal Rumble? That was an interesting show. Not good but it won’t say it was bad, definitely interesting though

[@DannyKnightblade45]

I hate how the wwe wasted The Divas of Doom, Beth Phoenix, and Natalya. They gave Natalya embarrassing storylines ( like that flatulence storyline ) and made Beth lose clean to the pretty but talentless Kelly Kelly. We never got to see The Glamazon battle against Chyna, Awesome Kong/Karma, or a one on one match against Rhea Ripley. Beth even suffered the indignity of getting pinned clean while she was Divas Champion in a non title tag team match at Wrestlemania to non wrestler Maria Menounos! Both Beth and Natty deserved better as talented as they both are.

[@kingash9831]

I believe part of the reason Kharma wasn't involved in storylines I think she was pregnant at the time And that she was unable to wrestle

[@Venemofthe888]

This rumble ppv was a little weak tbh and it was the one after the 40 man it felt like a step down. None of the matches were too memorable and the rumble match itself also kinda sucked until sheamus and jericho being the final two having a good back and forth. As soon as big show came out as 30 everyone was getting rushed eliminated

[@raineywashingtonjr]

They should've put more active wrestlers in the rumble instead of Michael Cole and Karma. I'm sure there were several people who were out dealing with injuries but damn what if? That match could've had Christian, Rey Mysterio, Evan Bourne, and even goofy ass Heath Slater in there. Definitely one of the, if not the, worst rumbles in history.

[@watersandblue6001]

jericho should have won that rumble

[@JCOH-TV]

Alot from this period is very mid

[@basketballgenesis8969]

Big Show was such a disappointing #30 entrant

[@alec2000]

This Rumble definitely felt lacking. The match itself didn’t feel special, the surprise entrants weren’t strong as other years, and imo, Jericho should’ve won this one, as it felt deserving for him but the fact they didn’t felt disappointing. Overall, could’ve been good, but wrong decisions definitely hindered this one.

[@kingash9831]

Was it the best Rumble pay per view? No, its far from that But it was a decent show Minus Kane vs Cena That was the worst match of the night
