You said audience had been treated to horrible matches. As for triple threats

Bryan/Orton/Batista was really fun. Then recently we had Ziggler/Cesaro/Kidd. The triple threat on Royal Rumble was just too good. Amazing match.

Because, Austin specifically said Triple Threats. I thought it was clear I was only talking about Triple Threats....... why would I talk about another match type.....?

So 3 matches in recent years........ uh huh.

[M99]

Rock, Angle and Undertaker at Vengeance 02 is my personal WWE favourite, that or Rock, Angle and HHH at Summerslam 2000.

Although my personal favourite isn't even from WWE lol.

No one watches Mexican pro wrestling here brah

It was TNA lol.

AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe vs Christopher Daniels?

[RealGunner]

There rarely are triple threats tbh.

Last few years have been dominated by Tag matches

What is your timeframe for "recent"? I'm sure I can find more if I jog my memory.

Yep.

They had more than one actually, was great everytime.

[Freeza]

Would rather have some elimination triple threats. Won't happen though, no way to not award Cena a win if he's involved.

Hmmm..... probably from 2008 (Is that too far back?)

There's been quite a few at the PPVs as well:

Miz V CM Punk V ADR
Cena V Punk V Big Show
Ortan V Cena V Triple H
Edge V Cena V Big Show
Cena V CM Punk V ADR
Ryback V Cena V CM Punk
Triple H V Edge V Vladimir Kozlov
John Cena V Shawn Michaels V Triple H

I think these are all Title matches as well. This is off the top of my head.

[M99]

From 2008 then these are the great triple threats we have had since then.

Cena/Lesnar/Rollins
Bryan/Orton/Batista
Ziggler/Cesaro/Kidd
HHH/Edge/Jeff Hardy
Punk/Del Rio/Miz
HHH/HBK/Cena
Taker/Batista/Edge

[izzy]

See?

The top 3 of the 7 you mentioned are very recent and close together.

There's been too many forgetful ones in-between.

[M99]

Yeah you are right. But that does not take away anything from Lesnar/Cena/Rollins. It is one of the greatest ever, easily in my top 3 with HBK/HHH/Benoit and Taker/Rock/Angle.

[Rebaño Sagrado]

Why are they obsessed with using stretchers in triple threat matches The triple threat match at rumble was great though. Fast paced and exciting throughout.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Just watched the triple threat, it was great I wouldn't say all time great but great none the less.

Did feel the over did the stretcher/broken rib part though, they could have cut that down significantly imo.

Cena was such an afterthought though

[M99]

There was another botch at the Rumble.

As seen at the WWE Royal Rumble last night, Titus O’Jibers made his entrance but was eliminated in just 4 seconds by Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose.

Titus was supposed to be eliminated in just 1 second, tying the record with Santino Marella, but there was a timing issue with he, Reigns and Ambrose.

Titus now shares a 4 second elimination with Jerry Lawler (1997) and Bushwacker Luke (1991). Owen Hart and Sir Mo both had 3 second eliminations in 1995, The Warlord had a 2 second elimination in 1989 and Santino’s 1 second elimination came in 2009.

Triple H vs Edge vs Koslov?

Are we talking about the same match where it was suppose to be Jeff Hardy and Edge replaced him half way through the match? Because that match sucked...

I also don't agree that elimination triple threats are better. In these matches there is no reason that the third guy would ever break up a pin. So you wont see 3 AAs followed by a curb stomp, a couple of F5s, an early AA, a few more curb stomps because you won't have the third guy breaking up the pin and the match would be over.

My favourite triple threat match is actually a pretty obsure match: AJ Styles vs Petey Williams vs Chris Sabin Ultimate X match. Favourite WWE triple threat would be Rock vs Angle vs Taker at Vengence 2002.

Coming out of the WWE Royal Rumble weekend, it’s said that the only concrete matches for WrestleMania 31 are Sting vs. Triple H, John Cena vs. Rusev and Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Title.

Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt vs. The Undertaker are also expected but not a lock. However, last word on The Undertaker was that WWE officials still did not know if he was returning for sure or not. The fact that there is still uncertainty this close to the event is not a good sign but Taker still could appear in a non-wrestling role if he chooses not to wrestle.

Another WrestleMania match rumored this week is Seth Rollins vs. Randy Orton.

Ryback > Reigns. Ryback's a way better powerhouse.

[RealGunner]

lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ryback

[Onyx]

Booed out of the arena ffs.

You can hear some girl screaming in the background and it's the reason why he's kinda over at all the jobber arenas, because of the fangirls.

[RealGunner]

Cena started getting the mixed reaction after 7 years at the top. Reigns achieved it in 1 on upper mid tier

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Knocking someone out with a super man punch is more believable than a firemans carry imo

[RealGunner]

firemans carry from the top rope >>>>>>>>

[Freeza]

the AA is the worst finisher ever for an elite talent. Can't stand it... Looks weak as f.

[Onyx]

Can't wait to see Lesnar lose to a generic punch.

I think the comments in here are a big reason for why people don't like Roman;

“As far as the hate, it makes me laugh. Everybody is a critic. Every critic I’ve ever had, they weren’t wrestlers. Every wrestler I’ve ever had critique me, they were always into my stuff or what I’m doing out there. For a non-wrestler, someone who doesn’t even know how to lock up, and if we did lock up, they wouldn’t know what to do, for them to critique any of us, it really does pop me.”

Cardinal sin.

[Onyx]

Yeh and he said that a few days before the rumble. Then on RAW he goes the Cena route with the 'You can cheer or boo whoever you want'.
