2014 Royal Rumble review

Before I talk about the matches/outcomes. Let's talk about the Pittsburg crowd. The crowd was insane, in both good and bad. Good, because they had so much enegry and it usually makes the show better when the attending audience really gets into the matches. The bad part was all that energy was dedicated to 1 man Daniel Bryan. Well maybe two men, D. Bryan and Dolph Ziggler. If you weren't one of those 2, you pretty much sucked, according to the crowd reaction.  Once the crowd realized that D. Bryan and Dolph Ziggler weren't going to win the RR. They pretty much booed everyone else out of the building especially the guy who won the RR. I don't ever remember a crowd booing the RR and/or the winner.  Crazy.

But let's move on to the PPV and it's quality. I was a little dissapointed in the RR match. No real big surprises. Kevin Nash and JBL were the "surprise" competitors. Which I don't think was a good surprise. Especially since JBL lasted maybe 60seconds, maybe. Sheamus returned, which was cool, but no Y2J, no Christian, no Undertaker(I wasn't really expecting him, but still) They did have a guy from NXT that nobody knew, and a bull....so good move there WWE....

All and all this was a good PPV. It had good to great matches, despite what the crowd was chanting. Titles did change hands and that's alway a good thing. Great match between B Wyatt and D. Bryan. Dare I say a contender for match of the year? Why not?

Final grade for this PPV a  (B-)
