*The 2014 & 2015 rumble matches were the epitome of WWE blatantly telling their fans ”Screw you. You are going to like what we feed you and you will love it so shut up and deal with it.” Even though I’m glad that Roman has finally found his stride as a main eventer with the tribal chief gimmick but let’s be real, 2015 was not the right time to push him because it was far too early for him at that point of his career. Plus, the fact that WWE really thought that The Rock helping Roman was going to get him cheered only for both of them to get booed, that was just downright embarrassing.*
People use these kind of arguments as accurate pfff, shut up. Batista debuted in 2002 and got a Rumble win in 2005, nobody said shit. Lesnar won at 2003, it wasn't even a YEAR since his debut (he debuted in April of 2002, so that to January 2003 it's not a year). The problem wasn't it was early for Roman, after all people did cheered for him in Rumble 2014, the problem was that people STILL wanted Daniel Bryan to win, THAT was the thing. So fuck off.
Is there a coincidence that we're both seeing here in The Rock and Roman? Especially when Wrestlemania is at Philadelphia. The same Philadelphia people who actually booed both The Rock and Roman Reigns?
@@zachjohn3217 True. But even though they were only booing Roman at the time, the Rock didn't deserve the blame, and the Rock can understand that the booking decision was horrible. Don't forget about the 2016 Royal Rumble match and that too was a third time the fans got slapped in the face by Vince and WWE at the time.
I think having Bryan going out so early was very poor sighted but I wonder if it was cause he just came back from injury. Rebooking it the final four should have been Bryan, Roman, Wyatt and Rusev. Brock v Bryan might have been good but also quite dangerous for his health at the time. I do think if they didn't want Bryan support they shouldn't have put in the rumble
Pretty much yeah. Even though wrestling fans have their bad habits, but even I couldn’t deny that WWE was just during that time was just extremely out of touch with their audience, considering the overwhelming popularity of Daniel Bryan.
Well here's the thing if you had Bryan in the rumble all you need to do is to have him get screwed by Kane and you have even more support for Bryan and gives him even more fire. The best part is everything else doesn't even need to change
I was lucky enough to be in New Orleans for Wrestlemania 30. Ill never forget walking around Bourbon street the day of mania, and there were crowds of people everyone chanting YES YES YES. and then seeing daniel bryan win the belts that night 🥲 what a moment Daniel bryan was most certainly the man in 2014
And it’s crazy cuz I remember due to the weather Raw was canceled the day after the 2015 Rumble so that episode of Raw was literally just the Rumble match
Here’s the thing without Roman winning the royal rumble the heist of the century wouldn’t be remembered as fondly as if it was Brian that was cashed in on fans would have rioted
As much as people don't like it in hindsight Roman was the better choice. I think the problem was Bryan going out so early. He should have been in the final four eliminate Wyatt or Rusev but get eliminated by the other therefore the heat is a little less on Roman
@@Venemofthe888 I mean I think they pushed Roman a little too fast as a singles wrestler imo like 5-6 months after the shield breaks up he is the main event of wrestlemania they should have Atleast waited until 2016 to give him that opportunity.
During that 2014 - 2015 era of WWE, especially the Royal Rumble winners (Batista & Roman Reigns) and the company stopped giving a damn about the fans. It's 2K24 (the current year) and I'm glad that the company will never go down that road of "not giving a damn about our WWE fans anymore"
It isn't just that Bryan was eliminated early, it's not just the shattered dreams insult, it's not just fucking big show and Kane. It's that they eliminated all the other wrestlers that were popular like they were fucking jobbers.
This was such a huge dreadful 2 years of wwe, all this because Vince McMahon just hated the fact that he doesn’t want to be proved wrong by thinking that he knows what the audience want rather than letting him know to who they actually want to be push over organically to win the Royal Rumble and main event Wrestlemania it’s legit not that hard.
You would think after the '14 Royal Rumble when Mick Foley a dude who bled literally buckets for this company and fell from the top of the cage twice gave FAIR criticism about the Rumble match that they would have been like ok we won't make that mistake again and avoid a mutiny in the locker room next time
This period has done irreversible damage to fan’s minds cause now they think every baby face has to go through some kind of adversity before winning. I hate how Batista’s return was ruined cause he’s the type of guy to help make stars. I’m glad Ruthless Aggression guys are finally getting their flowers. I’m also glad we have Punk back in WWE.
Perhaps if WWE had not been such a horrifically booked shit product back then fans would never have felt the need to hijack shows as much as they did. There is a reason fans let their voice be heard and I hope fans keep it just as loud today. Its because they can tell when a company spits in their face and tells them what they are supposed to like. These shows are supposed to be for the fans and entertain the fans. If they don't then the fans have the right to let the company know when they don't like the product they are shown and when there needs to be changes.
Simply put in 2014, Bray beating Bryan clean was strike #1, Bryan not being in the WWE Title match was strike #2, & Bryan not being in the Rumble match itself was strike #3.
Small correction: When Mysterio’s music hit in 2014, they actually didn’t boo him right away, if you listen back you’ll notice it was dead silence, they were so shocked it wasn’t Bryan that they were speechless, Rey comes out, the realisation kicks in and that shock turned into anger, as soon as his music stopped the boos started pouring in, those first few seconds of silence was deafening. They also poured salt on the wounds since CM Punk was one of the potential saving graces at the end of the 2014 match, then gets eliminated by an old timer who wasn’t even in the match at the time, then Roman was the very last glimpse of hope and gets eliminated by another old timer. In 2015 they doubled down on the salt, there was even more potential saving graces like Ambrose, Ziggler, Wyatt and even Rusev, with most of them staying til the end only to get eliminated Big Show and Kane, they slowly eliminated each one by one, and it was like visual torture, Bryan getting eliminated was the dagger, the rest was twisting of the blade.
It's sad, cause those Rumble Match disasters overshadow two really good matches from those shows. 2015 - Lesnar vs Rollins vs Cena was really good. 2014 - Bray Wyatt vs Daniel Bryan was really, really good. But, most will forget that they even happened, because of how horrendous the Rumble matches were.
But now we got a big problem for the rumble, Seth got himself injured with that world heavyweight title match last Monday and they're doing evaluations to make sure was not serious but if it is that's going to be a huge issue for the pay-per-view going into WrestleMania
The fans were insufferable back then. I didn't have any issue with Bryan, but after he had his big moment it became just annoying. Booing in the 2014 Royal Rumble was understandable, they made Reigns, a future star, lose to give the win to old Batista who had just returned, but booing legends like Rey Mysterio who were way above Bryan was a travesty. The company then added Bryan to Wrestlemania and he won, that should have been it. In 2015 they had way overdone it for a full year, disrespecting countless other wrestlers for not being Bryan, booing Roman Reigns who, unlike Bryan, was an upcoming star. Bryan fans had no respect and no dignity, almost as bad as Cm Punk fans.
We all thought Daniel Bryan was gonna win the Royal Rumble 2014. Vince: Nope We all thought Daniel Bryan was gonna win the Royal Rumble 2015. Also Vince : Nope
The 2015 Royal Rumble in my opinion was 10 times worse for a few reasons. 1) Everyone knew Roman Reigns was going to win. 2) WWE intentionally pissing off the fans by having Daniel Bryan being eliminated so early in the match. 3) WWE once again intentionally pissing off the fans by non-verbally saying "we don't care who you like" by having Kane and Big Show babying out the rest of the fan favorites in the tail end of the match that being Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt and Dolph Ziggler.
I’m not going say that Bryan not being in the 2014 Royal Rumble was a good thing. But glad he wasn’t cause we had the Yes Movement take over Raw, fantastic storyline and match with Triple H and end the night winning
I seem to remember punk leaving after he beat John cena at Money in the bank for the world championship and kissed vince goodbye i dont remember him ever leaving at royal rumble
It’s serendipitous. If Punk stayed and faced HHH, Daniel Bryan doesn’t face HHH and then Bryan doesn’t face Batista. Bryan doesn’t win the championship. Therefore, CM Punk provided Daniel Bryan’s Wrestlemania moment.
I was at the rumble that Roman won I knew going in that I figure roman was going to win. But being there turn me into booing him too. I wanted Bryan to win but I thought it would come down to bryan and roman.
If there is ONE thing that i loved from 2015 Royal Rumble was the brief confrontation between Bray Wyatt and The Boogeyman, looking back that had soooooo much potential for a storyline for the ages if done right, except well lord and behold, we all knew without a shadow of a doubt, back then they were either NOT gonna do it right, or rather NOT DO IT AT ALL IN THE FIRST PLACE. Now with Windhan passing away (may his soul rest in peace and power) i would have just loved to se them both feud. I personally think it was a huge missed oportunity PS : CM Punk is defienetely winning the Rumble this year, mark my words, it is not a prediction... it is a spoiler (?
But when I look at these 2 events in hindsight Daniel Bryan shouldn't have one either Royal Rumble because he would've been out with his health issues either way negating anything that he managed to do leading up to those respective Wrestlemanias.
Even tho im not a huge fan of CM punk even i think its the only wrestler that makes sense to win the rumble because of the story he has going on right now
That’s complete bullshit. He didn’t recieve his termination on his wedding day because wwe didn’t even know he was getting married. And road dogg even called him out on twitter over it.
Daniel Bryan Should've Won The Royal Rumble In 2014 Seeing That He Wasn't In That Match Though Was Disappointing I Would've Been Fine If CM Punk Or Roman Reigns Won It Was Unfair Back Then
Looking back at it the 2014 rumble wasn't even that bad like the match was actually quite good and people who hate it was cause Bryan wasn't in it. Looking back why would he be especially at number 30? If anything they would have put him in the first two with punk (since punk was assigned number 1). I think if Batista came back the next year it wouldn't have been that bad he was just coming back at the wrong time maybe his schedule wouldn't allow for it but who knows. Getting back to Bryan he should have been number 2 and then you push everyone back a spot apart from 28 and 29. Keep big e at 29, have mysterio at 28 instead but have batista at 30. Keep The later Kane spot but instead of punk being eliminated have it be Bryan in the final 4 Getting eliminated by kane. You get maximum heat on kane and the authority and you keep everything the same to wrestlemania. A small change does wonders and barely affects anything. I think that works. 2015 rumble. There was no saving that one without a major rewrite
Wrestling fans are so gullible. Those same fans that booed Roman were the same ones that cheered him all the way to the Rumble. As far as Daniel Bryan is concerned, no one will tell me that that was not the original plan. To make fan fall for him and put hurdles in his way. Mind you, in this new era of wrestling, you have to play the fans. Just like they did with Punk in 2011 and recently with Punk's return and Seth's reaction.
If u notice the live crowds reaction started to become more split on roman leading to the rumble. And the internets perception on roman was already ruined Due to the trash promos and mid in ring skills at the time. So add in bryan coming back and being a smart town like Philly it was over
This is why I always laugh at fans today crying about Roman and wanting him to “drop the title”. You fans put him through hell for years and it started in 2015! This current run is his payback, he’s doing what he wants and you are all paying your hard earned cash, watching feverishly every week to see his downfall and lining his pockets. My Tribal Chief is box office!
2014 royal rumble maybe should have been won by roman reings instead of batista and 2015 maybe fuck idk but not roman atleast in 2014 nobody had turned on reigns yet
Everyone knew and wanted Cody to win, I'm sorry but if Punk did win it everyone who has been behind Cody finishing the story would of boo'ed Punk like they did Batista.
He quitted the night after the Royal Rumble, but he still was under contract with the WWE until the summer were he would eventually recive his release papers on his weeding day.
Seems like the obvious choice if you are not going to go the crowds way, you put a damn heel out there to soak up the hate. But this has always been a WWE failure as well as most modern wrestling. They do not know how to book good baby faces on their own. There is a reason Hulk and Austin along with the Rock are popular faces. Even at the peak of Hulkamania in the golden age, hulk always worked and behaved a bit heelish. Same with Austin and Rock, they were more tweeners who were always beating up heels. That is why AEW is so bad. The heels are all infinitely cooler than the faces. That along with faces behaving like incompetent fools. Why would I cheer for a guy who constantly walks into obvious traps?
Honestly, Vince was right to ignore the fans booing at the shows. They were still buying tickets, so the money was still coming in well enough and you can always mess around with the mics to get close to the desired reactions on Tv.
The only thing those Rumbles proved is that fans are insufferable & the yes movement was some of the most corniest crap throughout that whole era of WWE. The fact that Daniel Bryan ended up injured & retired soon after made the whole investment in him completely pointless. Perhaps it's a good thing that it happened because those kinds of crowds that would hijack shows are all but gone to AEW, which, ironically, is where Daniel Bryan is right now.
Perhaps if WWE had not been such a horrifically booked shit product back then fans would never have felt the need to hijack shows as much as they did. There is a reason fans let their voice be heard and I hope fans keep it just as loud today. Its because they can tell when a company spits in their face and tells them what they are supposed to like. These shows are supposed to be for the fans and entertain the fans. If they don't then the fans have the right to let the company know when they don't like the product they are shown and when there needs to be changes.
If the people were booing The Rock with his cousin that Vince put a rocket on him and got pushed to the moon then you definitely know that you’ve fucked up big time!!

Looking back at it the 2014 rumble wasn't even that bad like the match was actually quite good and people who hate it was cause Bryan wasn't in it. Looking back why would he be especially at number 30? If anything they would have put him in the first two with punk (since punk was assigned number 1).
I think if Batista came back the next year it wouldn't have been that bad he was just coming back at the wrong time maybe his schedule wouldn't allow for it but who knows.
Getting back to Bryan he should have been number 2 and then you push everyone back a spot apart from 28 and 29. Keep big e at 29, have mysterio at 28 instead but have batista at 30. Keep The later Kane spot but instead of punk being eliminated have it be Bryan in the final 4 Getting eliminated by kane. You get maximum heat on kane and the authority and you keep everything the same to wrestlemania. A small change does wonders and barely affects anything. I think that works.
2015 rumble. There was no saving that one without a major rewrite
Remember the 5 R's: Roman Reigns Ruins Royal Rumbles.
2014-2015, The years were the royal rumble was bad to watch. Especially the 2015 one cause that crowd was brutal.

Wrestling fans are so gullible. Those same fans that booed Roman were the same ones that cheered him all the way to the Rumble. As far as Daniel Bryan is concerned, no one will tell me that that was not the original plan. To make fan fall for him and put hurdles in his way. Mind you, in this new era of wrestling, you have to play the fans. Just like they did with Punk in 2011 and recently with Punk's return and Seth's reaction.
If u notice the live crowds reaction started to become more split on roman leading to the rumble. And the internets perception on roman was already ruined Due to the trash promos and mid in ring skills at the time. So add in bryan coming back and being a smart town like Philly it was over
Fans only cheered samoan cena because in 2014 they did not want Batista to win, fans would of cheered anyone opposite to Batista
This is why I always laugh at fans today crying about Roman and wanting him to “drop the title”. You fans put him through hell for years and it started in 2015! This current run is his payback, he’s doing what he wants and you are all paying your hard earned cash, watching feverishly every week to see his downfall and lining his pockets. My Tribal Chief is box office!
Idk man stone cold might’ve got him over. They was gonna make Roman top guy if that was the last thing they did
2014 royal rumble maybe should have been won by roman reings instead of batista
and 2015 maybe fuck idk but not roman
atleast in 2014 nobody had turned on reigns yet
Batista ruined rumble 2014, he refused to put over Daniel bryan in a one on one match.
never liked Daniel Bryan tbh and dont get why he was this over...
Everyone knew and wanted Cody to win, I'm sorry but if Punk did win it everyone who has been behind Cody finishing the story would of boo'ed Punk like they did Batista.
It's was all vince fault.
❤😮 she can’t do Seth Rollins versus CM punk now at wrestlemania Seth Rollins is hurt check out that video😮😂
Cm punk claims he got fired on his wedding day but some say he quit so which one is it
He quitted the night after the Royal Rumble, but he still was under contract with the WWE until the summer were he would eventually recive his release papers on his weeding day.
He walked out and was fired for it. So technically it’s both
Cody Rhodes or cm punk
It has to be CM punk
wwe from 2014 - 2016 worst time
They did daniel bryan so bad
The 2016 Rumble wasn't much better
Why not make your own videos? Not just react to other's work
Why care do much?
Seems like the obvious choice if you are not going to go the crowds way, you put a damn heel out there to soak up the hate. But this has always been a WWE failure as well as most modern wrestling. They do not know how to book good baby faces on their own. There is a reason Hulk and Austin along with the Rock are popular faces. Even at the peak of Hulkamania in the golden age, hulk always worked and behaved a bit heelish. Same with Austin and Rock, they were more tweeners who were always beating up heels.
That is why AEW is so bad. The heels are all infinitely cooler than the faces. That along with faces behaving like incompetent fools. Why would I cheer for a guy who constantly walks into obvious traps?
Honestly, Vince was right to ignore the fans booing at the shows. They were still buying tickets, so the money was still coming in well enough and you can always mess around with the mics to get close to the desired reactions on Tv.
The only thing those Rumbles proved is that fans are insufferable & the yes movement was some of the most corniest crap throughout that whole era of WWE. The fact that Daniel Bryan ended up injured & retired soon after made the whole investment in him completely pointless.
Perhaps it's a good thing that it happened because those kinds of crowds that would hijack shows are all but gone to AEW, which, ironically, is where Daniel Bryan is right now.
Perhaps if WWE had not been such a horrifically booked shit product back then fans would never have felt the need to hijack shows as much as they did. There is a reason fans let their voice be heard and I hope fans keep it just as loud today. Its because they can tell when a company spits in their face and tells them what they are supposed to like. These shows are supposed to be for the fans and entertain the fans. If they don't then the fans have the right to let the company know when they don't like the product they are shown and when there needs to be changes.
nerver understood the hype around him.. he looks like a ref who decided to wrestle, I like underdogs but I didnt felt him at all.
If the people were booing The Rock with his cousin that Vince put a rocket on him and got pushed to the moon then you definitely know that you’ve fucked up big time!!
Hey, should have turned Roman heel after 2015 Mania
I never cared for Daniel Bryan. That’s just me personally
So glad we're past this corny ass Yes movement era & fans crying & bitching that Daniel Bryan isn't in everything. Good riddance
