2014 WWE Royal Rumble PPV Reaction: WWE Created New Stars, While Killing Others

Big Show Is Over

royal rumbleBrock Lesnar vs. Big Show lasted longer than any man would last with Summer Rae in the bedroom. It left a sour taste in my mouth because it was so quick and so anti-dramatic. The chair shots from Lesnar were understandable. He "needed" the chairs to get the upper hand against someone that is a slice of pizza away from 500 pounds. Therein lies the problem. Big Show cannot wrestle more than ten minutes. Brock Lesnar needs to wrestle 15-20 minutes on his match, no less. When you book a feud with Big Show, the build has ALWAYS been better than the match. Don't you feel like it is time for him to go away? WWE killed his character tonight in what was Lesnar completely dominating him. It was perfect. Show needs to hang them up. I could care less to see him in a ring again. This match tells you why.

Score: 3/10

Can The Outlaws Stay Atop the Mountain?

The Tag Team landscape has changed. I am a fan of Billy and Road Dogg inside the ring because they are so smooth. Both men know the business, know what to do and executes it. They are business-minded and have little nonsense in the ring. The title change bothers me because not many people saw it. Cody and Goldust, at times, were the best match of the night on Smackdown or Raw. Isn't it a little soon to start their feud for WrestleMania? They planted the seeds, small seeds. The Rumble match saw one accidentally eliminate the other. Not to overshadow that, Cody was tossed out immediately after. They will get their opportunity at a rematch at Elimination Chamber, maybe sooner. The New Age Outlaws cannot be heels. They simply can't. What heel tag teams would be a perfect fit for them? @JoshIsenberg4 for more discussion on this.

Score: 6/10
