I got the network this weekend to watch some old shit since there was no football. I decided to watch the rumble for the **** of it Sunday Night. I haven't watched since shortly after I saw CM Punk win the tile in OKC I'm thinking about 2007 or so. I really didn't watch much from 2002-2007 either. I really enjoyed the 3 way match. I had no idea who Rollins was going in and was impressed. I was liking the rumble at first. I thought Bray Wyatt was entertaining while he was in. I could tell what was going on by the crowd reaction without knowing who any of these news guys were. I think the last time Vince truly listened to the fans was the rise of Stone Cold. What fans like has changed and Vince has refused to change with it. He still wants to push the huge guys who aren't as talented. It works with Lesnar because he's good, but most of those guys are stiffs. I didn't know Reigns was related to The Rock so that makes even more sense. I will say there seems to be a lot of talent on the roster right now if they book it right. The Bryan/Lesnar match seems like a no - brainer for the David vs Goliath thing. I've also always loved Brock tossing around the small guys.
Anyway had a blast watching some old ECW and WWE stuff. I hope they get it together and make it fun to watch again. I do miss it when it's good.
I'll have to check out NXT this month. Sounds like my kind of thing. Not sure there will be much to keep me hanging in but I might give it a ride thru Mania.
