I feel that Dunne vs. Bate was overall a much better match. They had a bit more time, and that really gave the story in the match to develop. Bate is such a likable character that it was easy to get behind him. The selling he did with his arm was also brilliant. Overall I think the action was better paced and the overall story was driven harder in Dunne/Bate. Not to knock Dunne vs. Andrews either, that match was great. I gave it 3.5 if you care.

Now now, it could have been a hell of a lot worse, but yes, that was a rather lacking show, wasn't it? Besides AJ/Cena there wasn't really anything that made up interested in watching. Neville/Swann was okay, but goddamn Owens/Reigns just dragged on for me. The Rumble itself...some great spots but overall just a massive asspull.
 
Apparently I'm the only one who liked the rumble

womens match was decent
owens and reigns was solid, 4 stars
cruiserweights bore me so i didnt actually watch that one
aj/cena was excellent
rumble up until strowmans elimination was amazing, after that it was alright, the lesnar/goldberg stuff was good, taker was meh, reigns almost ruined the rumble match but i can get behind a wyatt family win

I'm actually somewhat excited to see the mania match between Lesnar and Goldberg, or rather, how the whole thing will go since it'll probably main event WrestleMania 33
