#CancelWWENetwork is trending at the top internationally on Twitter after the Royal Rumble PPV. That is not a good thing.

Also, after getting numerous emails from people saying that they couldn't get the WWE Network page to load so that they could cancel their account, for the last hour plus when I tried to load the page and check it out it just spins and never loads.

Andru Edwards saw posts on social media that said that if you called in to cancel they are telling you that they can't manually cancel right now due to so many people attempting to do so, and to call back tomorrow. He called the number and was told that as well.

Obviously people are very angry at how the Rumble match was booked, which is a real shame given how great the show was going before they chose to eliminate Daniel Bryan. They never got the crowd back after that and obviously many at home felt the same way.

In hindsight, bringing Bryan back for the show was a big mistake by WWE. It is one they had better rectify. To make matters worse, with the snowstorm heading up the east coast tomorrow, their TV tapings for Raw in Hartford, CT and Boston, MA are anything but a sure thing.

This isn't how they wanted to start the Road To WrestleMania. For the second year in a row, the Rumble has blown up in the company's face.

It didn't suck. It wasn't great or anything, but it certainly didn't suck.

it's arguably the second or third most important event in US wrestling and WWE. Just look at your review and aside from the two matches that i mentioned, everything else barely made it over 5/10 (including the rumble), you gave this show worse ratings than the go home RAW and Smackdowns i think. Your argument last week was that you considered TNA lockdown and Sacrifice be worse shows that Battleground because those are the A shows for TNA, using this same logic, this Rumble was bad, like really bad

It's REALLY hard for me to call a show with a 9.5/10 on it a bad show. Everyone other match would have to be negative stars or something. No match that TNA has put on in the last few years has even come close to 9.5.

if a bad match doesn't make a show, full of good matches, into a bad show. why does a good match make a show, full of bad matches, a good show?

Because that's just how it works.
It's also more of a quality vs. quantity thing. The quality of this match outweighed the mediocrity of the rest of the matches. If it wasn't this good (like if it was an 8 or even up to an 8.75), it wouldn't. The few great matches on the TNA shows (which was pretty much one per show) were not good enough to outweigh the bad. This show didn't have anything that was a Jenna Morasca vs. Sharmell level of bad on it. Nothing bad enough to counteract that awesome match.

except, you know the 60+ minute main event full of terrible booking

The action in the match itself wasn't terrible. It was just poorly booked. This was a stupid booking decision. It wasn't Warrior vs. Hogan in WCW and it wasn't Jenna vs. Sharmell. We had a show with a lot of underwhelming wrestling (though it's not like anyone expected the Ascension vs. NAO or the Divas tag team match to really deliver anyway), an amazing title match, and a poorly-booked main event. Let's not start to pretend that this whole show was Heroes of Wrestling.

I really can't defend the wrestling here either with the exception of Bray and Rusev who had some good spots going on, but most of the other wrestling was nothing exceptional. Even Roman Reigns who was supposed to look strong didn't do anything special. Last year's RR was a train crash too, but the wrestling, overall booking of the rumble was good, this one had poor everything and zero memorable spots

I didn't think the wrestling was that poor. Certainly unremarkable, but not particularly bad.

I'm with cero here; the title match is worth watching but one can miss the entire rest of the show. Also, if you're gonna have HHH mention STING and threaten him, why was the Rock the one to come out and help Reigns fight off the Authority?

this really confused me, now i'm back on the idea that Rock vs Triple H could be a thing for WM instead of Triple H vs Old Man Sting

That's the biggest reason I consider this to be a bad show overall. Why not continue the story you've been hinting at for two months? Instead you try something that has no build in the toughest wrestling city in the world and expect an absolutely random cameo to satiate Philly fans! How did they not think this was a bad idea? Furthermore, if the Rock makes a surprise appearance and the crowd shits on it, you've booked a baaaaad show

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that the rest of the show wasn't skippable. I'm just saying that to call this an all-time bad PPV is a big stretch.

yeah, all time bad maybe not, but it will potentially be the worst WWE ppv of the year, if not wrestling altogether. In less than a month in for 2015, we've seen what may be the best and worst shows of the year already.
