I keep reading that Curtis Axel was not eliminated from the RR. Surely he was as you have to enter the ring before next competitor comes down or you are eliminated.

WWE makes the rules so they can twist them however they want. Just ask Brock Lesnar about having to defend the WWE Title every thirty days or Randy Orton about his rematch.

After some intersection, I do feel that I wrote my first question in haste. I sometimes get wound up in regard to race issues because of my personal past. For that I would like to personally apologize to my fellow "Insidees" for my comments. I did watch Triple H vs Booker T just before Raw so my dander was on high. Please post this as my mea(sic) culpa. Humanity as a whole deserves better.

Done deal and props to you for writing that. And WWE has announced a lot of Network content for Black History month.

So are you too stupid to realize that by continuing to support WWE Network, you're essentially telling Vince McMahon his "hubris" you accuse him of is acceptable?  Or are you too big of a hypocrite to care?

Well Mr. Einstein, I cover pro wrestling for a living and I can’t do that without, well, watching the product. In order to do that, I need to purchase the Network. Also Mr. Einstein, I now pay 10 dollars a month for what I used to pay 50 dollars a month for (or more on the months with two PPVs). If you understand how my business worked, you would realize I am actually making a wise decision paying less for the product I cover. Please consider that before you heckle me, just as I would learn what goes into filling a Slurpee machine before I came to your place of business and heckled you.

As a fan of the WWE for the past 25 years, the 2015 rumble proved to me that serious creative changes need to be made or else this company will continue to have hijacked shows and bad press. From the New Day who basically get no reaction whatsoever  to the Ascension who are supposed to be this new monster tag team that everyone should fear yet have been booked horribly.  Bray Wyatt was booked as a monster in the rumble only to get tossed out like a bag of dirt by 2 guys who should be putting over younger talent, not destroying them. Why do you feel WWE doesn’t listen to their fans and gives them what they want? Isn’t that the whole point of running a business  to give the paying customer what they want so they will want to return and shell out more money to help your business?

To me, yes that is the exact point of being business, give the customers what they want. To be fair, WWE can’t always let the fans have “dessert for dinner”, so to speak, but that is not the case with Daniel Bryan. They got him on top for a month, and that was it. Vince McMahon made a big mistake here by not anticipating the backlash to Bryan being knocked out of the Title picture. He should have brought Bryan back after the Rumble, not for it, if he had no intention of putting him in the Title picture.

So now it's SuperCena vs Rusev? With no backstory? So all of a sudden, out of nowhere these two are at odds? Makes no sense…wait..it is the WWE..makes perfect sense! But I think it will ruin Rusev's whole character if he loses (like, it seems, everyone else) to Cena; where would he go from there?

I predicted this would happen for a while now, Mr. America taking on the evil Russian is Vince McMahon Booking 101. I agree though, if Cena beats Rusev it will be the waste of another guy who gets pushed down the card. I hope they do the right thing and have Cena give the guy a legitimate rub. I won’t hold my breath, but we can hope.
