WWE has got to be willing to not only create new stars but let them flourish.
I get that the veterans help to draw in fans/revenue because of name value/recognition.
But the ones who are around 3 months or less a year shouldn't be the main focus of your main show every year. They won't be around forever. Someone has to be able to take their place.
10 years from now, who will care if Bray Wyatt returns for a match? No one because they haven't given us a reason to care. He's damaged goods to the fans. Same with Ziggler. Same with many other workhorses on the roster.
You take the title from AJ to give Cena #16 to have him lose it next month? How does that make sense? It was a great match for sure but that's not the point here.
The whole Rumble match was treated as 3 men + 27 others going in. They save them for inside final 5 entrants. That theremore made the rest of the match of no value because only "they" and Roman mattered.
It's so frustrating to be a fan of this company sometimes. I know I watch out of habit than out of actual caring.

I thought the Rumble match was good.
ThenI slept on it and when I woke up this morning....
Roman should have won at #30 JUST to finally make that heel turn legit. He would have gotten MASSIVE heat.

Yeah I woke up this morning feeling very 2009ish. We'll see what comes in the coming weeks to set up Mania.

Who really wants to see Bray vs Orton in the main event. They really dropped the ball again.

left my friends house pretty disappointed in the rumble, its by far my favorite PPV cause of the surprise entrants which were so lackluster this year

That's a fine main event, just not at Wrestlemania. It can even be on the WM card, but not a main event with a top title involved.
I thought the Rumble match was good.

Why would winning it make him a heel?
Because he eliminated the Oldertaker? Because he lost earlier in the night? Because he entered at #30?
He got booed out the building, but him winning doesn't mean he's a heel.

Just got home, after drinking all night trying to forget the Royal Rumble but I couldnt.
So much stuff WWE could have done but they really blew it.
Tye coming in at 10 was perfect, WWE had to do that.
I'm very ok with Randy Orton winning, if im not mistaken he's never won one.
Maybe a triple threat at mania with Orton vs Bray vs Cena, because didnt they want Bray vs orton originally ?
Ive never been so hype to see number 30, i was 100% expecting Joe,,,,,, then romans music hit
Now dont get me wrong, im a fan of Roman, but really ? ROMAN ??
How does a guy that got a title shot in the beginning of the show, gets awarded number 30 ?
Anyway, the only good thing I can saw is this was unexpected, i highly doubt anyone picked Randy to win, and thats what I really want from WWE, unexpected things.

Orton won in 09 and he was the betting favorite according to the odds makers so it wasn't really a surprise.

I hate that a Cena match is over when he says it's over. Dude just ate a second Styles Clash and just got up to do two AA's like it was nothing.

Idk about you guys but I used to get excited for the Rumble when I was younger now it's whatever

The same reason a babyface Bret Hart beating up a heel Austin at Mania 13 turned Bret Hart heel.
It came across as heel tactics especially with the way he stared down Taker. Him winning would have 100% been a heel turn.

Yep. I'm pretty confident that turn is coming though. I actually feel like they knew what they were doing this time by having him come out 30th...
