How will Stephanie sabotage Smack to cover up for its eventual overtaking of RAMs ratings?

So I have been rewatching a bunch of rumbles lately in anticipation of the Royal Rumble. Pic related has been the worst one so far.

>Crappy undercard
>Shit participants
>No star power aside from Stone Cold and maybe Kane/Chyna in the rumble itself.
>Nonsensical eliminations
>Shit winner

Sure the angle was white hot at the time, but it totally diminished the idea of the Rumble. The lack of star power really bothered me. Taker makes an appearance, but isn't in the Rumble. Kane has a very brief moment in it as well, even though he is over as fuck. It is pretty much the Stone Cold show.

The I Quit match is memorable, but hard as fuck to watch.

We already have best of and worst of threads. This thread is for the pleasant little surprises that you enjoyed along the way in 2016. Nothing that blew the world of wrestling up, just things people may not remember that deserve one final look back on.

I was a big fan of Social Outcasts. My favorite thing was how none of them got an ego and tried to make themselves the leader (although there were subtle hints that Bo was going to do that in-story). It was four guys who knew they weren't household names doing everything in their power to try and get at least one member over. You could see that in their intro whenever WWE actually showed their entrance.
>Bo would come out and strike a thinking pose center ramp
>Slater and Rose come out excited and jovial taking a spot slightly in front of Bo
>They'd set up a wall to reveal Curtis Axel (The "muscle" of the group) who would spread his arms and do a gut shout as he took the lead looking genuinely powerful
>They'd all walk down the rest of the ramp shoulder to shoulder
Every guy had a thing. And every guy would walk out even if only one of them was in the match. So they were always helping each other get screen time. They seemed like genuine friends. I also loved how Bo would lead everybody in a lap around the ring and the announcers would call it the "Bo Train", especially since Godfather just got into the HoF.

Off course, Adam Rose's troubles mid-year ended the group for good. I miss these guys. Heath is doing great, Bo at least has something going on, but Axel is totally missing. Axelmania was fantastic, I hope WWE find something for him soon.

give me ONE (1) good reason why I shouldn't watch outlaw wrestling besides the fact that it's >>>>>outlaw wrestling

the matches, characters, crowds, everything is better than WWE besides the production

so why would I watch the boring bullshit that old fart vince puts out, when I can watch hot young men like pic related put on awesome wrestling matches?

inb4 >watching wrestling for the wrestling, that's the fucking point

I believe this bromance angle is killing Owen's career. Before getting the title and becoming a defacto sex slave for Jericho, he was a ruthless, cunning, heel who rarely took a pin and did not have to cheat to win.

Now that he is champion, albiet with the stench of HHH, he has morphed to the typical WWE booking chicken shit heel archtype. His promos are garbage, everything that made him cool and unique has gone down the drain. He is eating pins left and right. All these problems are compounded when you take his, still, awful look in consideration. His wrestling might be the only redeeming quality now.

Then there is Jericho. Jericho is outshining Owens and is sucking up so much heat from him. How can Owens politically backstage stand for this? Does he realize what a disaster his reign has become? What is the payoff for this angle? A WM match?! What will it be? The 2nd match on the card? The WM preshow match? There is no payoff other than getting sent to midcard hell where he will tag team with Chris Hero and call themselves the Midnight Muffin Stuffin Muffin Tops.
