Even though I don't watch any wrestling anymore, watching the Rumble is becoming a bit of a tradition. I've even booked Monday morning off work so I don't go in zombiefied.
Was good watching it last year with a few of you in chat. We were still hoping for a reunion then. Shame it never came about. Anybody else still come here?

It was a great PPV tbf.
I come here occasionally. Still hacking away at this "ACW Compendium" that is taking me forever and a day to complete. The lack of reunion was a shame but I did say somewhere that not doing it within a month/6 weeks of the initial idea (as opposed to something like 3 months as was ultimately agreed) killed the idea for a lot of people.

I really enjoyed. I thought it was a really strong PPV.
Ambrose/Owens was a great match. Both of them are fantastic performers. I enjoyed Charlotte/Becky as well. The tag match and US title match were both meh but the Rumble itself was brilliant. I wasn't overly enthused with the winner but reading comments elsewhere, most people are okay with it.
Great to see AJ Styles in WWE. I watched his match against Y2J on Raw as well. Might even draw me in to watching again. I've become a fan of Ambrose, Owens and the Wyatt Family from just keeping up to date with things going on.
I don't get the hate for Reigns, but I can seen that he is being booked poorly.
I was really disappointed when the reunion didn't come about. I also had reservations about dragging it on too long and I think I voiced my concerns about leaving it too late. We should have struck whilst the iron was hot and people were buzzing. I know everyone had other commitments but the show didn't need to be war and peace. I'd love to keep hope alive of a future reunion but it's doubtful as nobody has even contributed to the infinite show.

I haven't been keeping up with WWE (or any wrestling lately, though I might just do the ROH VOD service they have), but I was so happy for Styles. Dude gets to showcase his talents on the biggest stage of all and make a fuckin' stellar income for his family. The Zayn/Owens feud reigniting at the Rumble was pretty sweet, too.
I do apologize for not contributing to the reunion. I wish I had done so but as such, life got in the way. I was juggling work, music, and community theatre at the same time, and seeing a lot of people not do dick all towards the show got me bummed out. I still come here to browse old results. I forgot how awesome Fallout was in 2006, those are my best memories of this place (besides the Entourage).

Well, if there's anything to be said about getting the right woman in your life.... My fiancee and I are off to New York at the end of March for my 30th. I thought that would have been enough but it turns out she's gone and bought tickets for RAW at the Barclays center. It's going to be amazing to experience it all in the flesh.
Anyone been to a Raw show before? Any advice on what time to turn up etc...?

I went to a Raw taping in Calgary about ten or so years ago, it was pretty fun. The crowd had a lot of hilarious chants throughout the night, but there was one that stood out. There's a place near Calgary called Taber that is famous for its corn, so a guy had a sign that read "Taber corn" and got the whole arena to chant "Taber corn" at least three times. We chanted it during an Edge/Benoit match, and we could see Edge giving the biggest WTF look ever.
So yeah, watching it on TV may be a drag sometimes, but it might be more enjoyable live.

The only thing I didn't like about the PPV was the actual Rumble itself. Too focused on Reigns (for obvious reasons) and mis-booked as he left for half the match under his own power. At least use a stretcher. AJ was nice, however HHH winning the entire thing was just too safe and boring.
