What did you guys think for those who watched it? Quite honestly the first time I've watched a wrestling PPV in quite a while and it wasn't too shabby. Tuned in mainly based on the fact that AJ Styles was likely to make an appearance, and the hope that Triple H would win the Rumble. I won't spoil anything for those who haven't read any news or seen it yet ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

I gotta say the Rumble was somewhat better than last year. Ambrose vs Owens should've been put on later imo. AJ making an appearance was great.

I very like the show, the last man standing for the IC Title, the tag team titles (NEW DAY ROCK !!!), the victory of Kalisto (Lucha, lucha) the Rumble match in globality (more better than 2015 and 2014 edition) .
And of course, the presence of Christophe Agius and Philippe Chereau, the french commentator and their Catchphrase like :
- Par dessus la troisième corde (over the tope rope) - Dans le poteau, ou ça, DANS LE POTEAU (In the posts, or that, IN THE POSTs) - Marie Antoinette Style ( After a Clothesline) - Lucha Libre Style ... Wooo ! - Le show, le plus chaud de tout les shows ! ( The show the more hot of all the show) And more....

The amount of time they spent away from the action watching Roman Reigns was frustrating. There was still half a dozen wrestlers in the ring, why do we need to watch a beat down that we all know he will come back from? Plus, what was the point in ANY of it for the the Rumble to end the way it did, are we supposed to feel bad for him, that he tried and was again held back, because that angle is getting repetitive. He's competent, and likeable, just not a Superstar. As for the entrants like Swagger, Henry, Rusev, who were eliminated quickly, there was very little point for them being in the ring, which is disrespectful. Plus, R-Truth... the less said about that, the better. Also, I've not watched any since the previous PPV so don't know where this misfit group has come from, but once again Heath Slater et al proving to be a waste of roster space.
Anyway, I was only marginally disappointed, although there were some highlights - Owens v Ambrose. The New Day. The Game

The Game I, personally, like what they're trying to do with Slater, Axel, Rose, and Dallas, because it's at least giving them some sort of tv time.
