The Wrestling Thread Is Extremely Nervous About The Royal Rumble..And Daniel Bryan

[bullets]

Every other superstar is backstage, shaking their head and wondering how the heck the rest of the show can follow this. The ending of the match is almost irrelevant right now.

I feel confident saying that is the best match we'll see tonight.

 

[The End]

I thought I could take some time to prepare some food!!! I thought I had time! I thought, meh, the first match will be some throw away thing, I have plenty of time to make some grub before the Daniel Bryan match.

Imagine my surprise, coming in with a tray of food to see the Bryan vs Wyatt match was half way through!

What a match, though. From what I had seen. Man the intensity and physicality.


How much did I miss, exactly? I walked in to see Bryan locking on the indian deathlock and forcing Wyatt's face into the mat.

 

[sweetre15]

Bryan did more for Bray than WWE has done so far. Hell of an opener!

Aint that the truth but I wish they'd stop "using" Bryan...Seems like they take him for granted at times.

 

[TX85]

Flair!

 

[Pink Ranger]

Ben Roethlisberger and Dave Batista in the same building? Someone alert the FBI, just in case.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Nice promo by Heyman!

 

[Wheels]

Follow that mother ****ers!

 

[runawayboulder]

I think so too. Makes it look like he has even greater odds to overcome.

Exactly. Some people here don't seem to remember that there's these little things called swerves in the business.

Could you imagine how ape-s**t the crowd would go hearing Bryan's music during the Rumble after the beating he just took?

 

[SpideyFan866]

Bray kinda needed the win, and hopefully this means Bryan will show up in the Rumble.

Are they playing the concussion stuff up with the Sister Abigails?

I think they are.

All of the spots, and commentary, seemed carefully coordinated.

Also, I don't think they are smart enough to make that stuff up and capitalize on the spots on the fly.

 

[Incrediblejeff]

That was a good match.

 

[TX85]

The Wrestling Thread lives in a ranch!

 

[DarkSentinel]

Great promo by Heyman as usual!

Dude's a demented Shakespeare.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Still can't believe how awesome Bray vs Bryan was. Surpassed my expectations. Still kind of holding judgment on Bryan until the end of the night, but I still have some hope...

 

[Lobo]

I think Bryan losing means he will show up in the Rumble match, and from reading what you guys are writing here, I may have to watch to go and watch this Rumble.

Also 0-2.

Hey hotwire if I get the entire card perfectly wrong, do I get points for that? LOL

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Hoping this goes less than 8 minutes and Lesnar just destroys Show.

Ditto. On all accounts.

I expected that match to be formulaic, and to not display what those two could do in a ring.

But boy was I wrong......

 

[The End]

Guys how much of the Bryan vs Wyatt match did I miss? Only started watching at the point Bryan forced Wyatt's face to the mat with his boot.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Great match, but Wyatt over Bryan clean makes me scared for what 2014 has in store for us.

 

[TX85]

The Beast!

 

[Van Petrol]

They did a title change on the pre-show.

 

[DarkSentinel]

Ditto. On all accounts.

They really told a story. The best matches tell stories, and this one was just brutally beautiful.

 

[Specter313]

So I guess this match isn't even going to happen then....

 

[Pink Ranger]

Damn, what's going on tonight? First two matches in, and it's balls-to-the-wall action booking.

 

[Hotwire]

I'm glad no one has sent me a link to stream the Rumble!

Not much at all.

You got most of the best spots.
