He’s a talented guy, but the stories heading into Mania that year were Cena/Rock and Punk/Jericho. Him winning the Rumble was building up something low priority on the card. And the most it did was accidentally get Bryan over.

That’s the one. And I’m not trying to argue everyone for the sake of it or anything, but was this Rumble really that much flatter than Del Rio, or Sheamus, or the matches that all blur together. Remember when we got Triple H repeating from #30 and Roman spent most of the match taken out by The League of Nations? Are we really saying this was worse than that?

I’m caught between “The Rumble has sucked for years” and “this Rumble actually had some good stuff,” but that’s just how I feel about it. Has Shane EVER been in a Rumble? That is probably interesting to some people. You had AJ anchoring the first section of the match (from what I hear), before a big guy comes in and eliminates a bunch of people before getting eliminated themselves. You have a few cameo appearances and then the winner cleans up.

It just seems…fine by Rumble standards. Pretty textbook for a Rumble, really.
