PPL cried about Sheamus getting pushed so early, ADR just topped that, he was instantly thrown into the main event and now he won the R.R and is going to main event WM. He hasnt even been in WWE a year.

Wow some of you guys are total negative nancys. How, HOW was that remotely predictable!? How was that trash!? Punk/Bryan (and Regal there somewhere) to start it off, some great drama between the lot of them with Stryker even saying "the internet loves this" (DAMN right we do). Morrison with one of the coolest moments in Royal Rumble history. Seriously, I think the guy has the personality of a bar of soap, but he's proven himself to me what with this and all of his stuff lately. He's not afraid to take risks but he's also a great wrestler (mix between Styles and J.Hardy imo). Nexus. Perhaps made this Rumble. I actually got a little sad seeing them dominate everyone. Watching R-Truth running for his life to the ring with a determined 'it's fight or flight' look on his face... Only to get pummelled by Nexus lol Amazing stuff. With many Rumbles, there's often a few small stories involved, but this Nexus thing made it like a movie. So much at stake, with their dominance being an underlying theme for a good 50% of the match. Never before have I been so wrapped up in a Rumble match. I'll admit, I lol'ed at some of the Hornswoggle stuff. He does annoy me, but it was a cute, humorous change of pace which broke it up nicely. Booker ****ing T!!!!! Can you dig it? Then Kevin Nash. Wow, total freaking nerdgasm RIGHT THERE. Then, one of the most solid wrestlers in the company right now, who also HAPPENS to be one of the most charismatic... Headlining Wrestlemania baby! Seriously, I marked the **** out. So much so that I think I've just woken up all 3 of my housemates, not to mention given myself foot cramp. I don't think there should be any debate with Alberto Del Rio. He has IT. He's worked his ass off in other companies, and he's GOLDEN on the mic. Say what you will about Miz, Cena, Barrett, Sheamus but this guy is in a category of his own. I know most of you... 'you already know that', but this goes off to those of you who were hoping HHH returned, or Orton won. Change the damn record, the WWE needs new stars and Alberto...he is a star. Honestly, if you didn't enjoy that, the WWE just isn't for you. That's the most I've marked out during a PPV in god knows how long. Fantastic stuff.

I'm calling it right now. Miz will not make it to WrestleMania with the belt and Del Rio will lose his #1 contender spot. I'm sorry, but those guys couldn't main event a WrestleMania if their lives depended on it. They just aren't ready.
I believe they want to make money off WrestleMania, not lose it...If either of those punks are anywhere near the main event at WrestleMania, I'd save my $50, I'll tell ya that much right now.

Not a terrible Rumble but no where near the top of the group. Del Rio winning was a surprise. He wasnt my first choice but was in my top 5. Miz vs Cena and Edge vs Del Rio, Taker vs Barrett just doesnt sound like a solid Mania line up. I see some shuffling done at Elimination Chamber. Yeah those if we get those 3 matches plus Punk vs Orton at WM, well, meh. It just doesn't have a big time feel. But to me, WM hasn't had a big time feel in a while. It would be great to recapture the magic it once had.

That was one of the best Royal Rumbles in recent memory IMO. The ending was great, and I am so glad that Albert Del Rio won, especially in that way. The end was just crazy. And the best part of the match was Diesel and Booker T. ing great PPV.

[glow=red,2,300]He hasnt even been in WWE a year[/glow]. My point exactly. The guy is a ing rookie. He's nowhere near ready to main event a WrestleMania. I'm sure someone like Christian will beat him for the #1 contender spot.

He hasnt even been in WWE a year. At least ADR went straight to near main event status. Sheamus was feuding with Goldust in ECW at one point. I like both, so it really doesn't matter to me at least.

Yep and if I had WrestleMania tickets, I'd be ing scalping those damn things off because that WrestleMania is gonna ing suck!! I can't believe some fans are actually happy about that...Wow... You're the type of fan that must hate change? The Undertaker, Triple H, John Cena, and Randy Orton won't be around forever, thats why WWE builds new stars like The Miz. People complain there is no change in the main event, but when there is, they complain about the pushing of the talent. You guys cannot make up your mind. They push retards though. (Orton, Cena, ADR, etc.) My dream main eventers would be: Undertaker, HHH, John Morrison, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Edge, Kofi Kingston, Christian, Chris Masters, Punk, Sheamus, and Mistico when he comes in. And I wish they would merge Raw and Smackdown and have one World title so the main event scene gets better. The mid carders can be Cena, Orton, Mysterio, Kane, Show, Swagger, Barrett, Bryan, Tatsu, and ADR going for the Intercontinental. And either make the U.S. title a low card title, or replace it with one like the European title and give the little guys a title to fight for. And obviously get rid of the Diva's championship. They really just need to end the two brands.. It makes everything stale and boring.

I completely agree with those saying that this is risky business in terms of thinking ahead for Wrestlemania.
I understand that people are happy about Del Rio, I think the guy is talented and there was no doubt that he was a future main event player, but he's not selling any merchandise, he's not drawing any fans, he's just a new guy who happens to be able to generate heat.
You need big match situations for Wrestlemania, you need drawing power.
Right now, this is how Wrestlemania looks on paper...
The Miz vs. John Cena Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio The Undertaker vs. Wade Barrett Randy Orton vs. CM Punk
Casual fans should be able to access Wrestlemania and feel like the main events mean something. Some casual fans would look at this and say, "who?"
I fully expect some changes to be made around Elimination Chamber. I have no idea what, and no idea how, but that doesn't look like a Wrestlemania to me.

I marked out to find out Santino was in the final two. The entire time I was like "HE WAS NEVER ELIMINATED!!!" and well cause of Santino being well....Santino, It cost him. Imagine if Santino eliminated Del Rio? How awesome would that of been?
