Rumble Loved Hated 2015

Spudguns! Got your coffee? Right on... let's get to making weird and pointless comments about our favourite wrestlers shall we.

The pre-show: Loved the Corey Graves factor, hated that Paul Heyman wasn't there! Would have been a million times better if it were just Graves/Heyman doing the pre-show commentary.
So Canada, we finally got the Network online. What do I have to say about it? Well, we'll have to see...at this point, you could only get the Network in Canada through selected cable companies, and my city wasn't one of them. And I've been very vocal on that. But tonight, as usual, I'm catching the ppv on tv, cause I'm just not sure the Network has anything to grab me other then the ppvs...
There was too much chit-chatter-chat on the pre-show for me. They could have easily used that first twenty minutes for a match instead of having all the talking.  That's been my biggest hate about the pre-show for the last year or so. Not fitting in as many matches as possible.
We finally got around to the pre-show match  The New Day vs Rose/Cesaro/Kidd.  I really don't care for the threesome of New Day. I loved Woods back few years ago when he was in the other company under the other name, but I'm just not caring for the gimmicks/characters his been given here.  Kidd got the pin.

Since I'm in here, I think they pulled out the storyline of the Authority returning too soon. It should have been held on ice till Wrestlemaina. I would have written it so that they arrived back during the mania ppv, and just pull the rug out from under whomever the big winner tonight is in the battle royal. Obviously, creative thinks differently then I do.

Match #1- Outlaws vs Ascension  I'm all about the Ascension. Connor got the pin, giving Ascension their first major note. Wicked...

Match #2- Tag Team titles match Miz/Sandow vs Usos.  Usos got the pin, keeping hold tight of their titles. And here we have the first real stitches in the voodoo doll as Sandow wasn't there to save Miz.

Going to go backward a moment here, and mention the opening credits for the ppv...all the close ups of the wrestlers declaring they were the one to win...yeah Ambrose's hair; anyone else just want to scream at him to get a haircut or at the very lest slick it back like he used to in Shield? Can't be the only one who thinks it's just a little too curly to be that middle length. I mean, he's looking more and more like Chris Sabin every time he's on tv...hail sabin! Dean Ambrose's hair is like a demonic creature all it's own there...
Speaking of demonic hairdos, why doesn't Bray Wyatt just walk out to a King Diamond cd? Like say "Abigail"? I'm sure he's run through about five copies by now...what? I'm not the only old metal head who remembers that cd reading this. The whole rocking chair thing in all the creepy videos...

Match#3- women's match, didn't watch wrote the above hair thing.

Having all the wrestlers pitch their place made sense but still felt like a time suck.

Match#4-Cena vs Brock vs Seth Rollins for the heavyweight title. My money is solidly on Rollins. Brock got the pin on Rollins. Damn it! So he's still the champion. Damn it!  The jump Rollins had during his one massive flying elbow bit earlier in the match, was stunning. Just breathtaking to watch. I've said it before, there isn't anyone else in the company who can pull off the moves Seth Rollins does and make them look so effortless. Rollins looked pretty done in at the end of this one, dizzy vomit worthy and shaky.

I did not see the elimination of Daniel Bryan coming, I thought he was set to win this. The crowd chanted for Bryan for pretty much the rest of the match.  And this is the part where I point out Rowan wasn't an official ticket and Axel never made it in, so that spot was technically still available.
But that didn't happen, instead the Rock showed up and helped give a distraction for Reigns to win. I'm surprised the crowd booed Roman Reigns, and chanted for Rusev. That's like backwards land or something.
I think I got everyone straight on their tossed out order and by whom. If I missed someone or got the order wrong, forgive my lacking.

Okay, that's my thoughts tonight.
Till next time
Love Ardeth Blood
