2014 WWE Royal Rumble Review: Likely One of the Only Positive Reports You’re Going to Read About This Year’s Show

royal rumbleEveryone knows I'm a bit of a hothead when it comes to wrestling booking I don't like. That said, over 100 people followed me on Twitter last night because of a single tweet voicing my displeasure, and thousands of you read and agreed with my column immediately after the show was over, so I know I'm not alone.

Daniel Bryan should have won the Royal Rumble. The "powers that be" in WWE should be more flexible. So you set your plans in place? Change them. Give the people what they want. They didn't want Orton-Cena, they won't want Orton-Batista.

I was singing WWE's praises before the final ten minutes before the PPV went off the air (15 minutes early, I might add) and I want to get back to that. So let's take a look at what went RIGHT at WWE Royal Rumble this weekend…
