The Good and Bad from the Royal Rumble

First WWE PPV of the year took place last night and there was plenty to like and perhaps even more not to like.  

Good:

Bray Wyatt vs Daniel Bryan was not good. It was great.  Seriously one of the best matches I've seen in awhile.  The great Pittsburgh crowd chanted "This Is Awesome" a few times and even "Holy Shit."

I love Bray and the world loves Bryan.  Their match was high paced and extremely entertaining. 

New Age Outlaws beat the Rhodes Brothers.  Let's see where this goes.  

Dean Ambose tried to eliminate Roman Reigns, who in turn bounced both Ambrose and Seth Rollins.   It was inevitable.  Also interested to see where this goes.   

Reigns sets a record by eliminating 12 dudes from the Rumble.  Finished 2nd. 

Brock Lesnar picked up the Big Show and hit him with a chair 188,755,992 times.   What did you expect from this one?  I'll take it. 

Kevin Nash was a surprise entrant. 

Wyatt Family interrupts Orton-Cena. 

Antonio Cesaro did that spin thing a few times.  Don't hate it. 

Bad:

John Cena vs Randy Orton, snore.  NO ONE CARES!

Rey Mysterio at #30 was anti-climatic to put it nicely.  

Even though they wrestled earlier not having Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt, John Cena, Brock Lesnar in the Rumble is a missed opportunity.  

Everything after Bryan-Bray looked like it was in slow-motion.  

Batista

Batista winning would have been "ok" if he was a surprise entrant.  He was awful.  And if its Batista vs Orton at Mania I have no use.   (It can't be.)

Sheamus is back, don't care.
