December 2013[edit]

I'm not sure how to do a message on a Wiki, but I'd like to say that the first match will PROBABLY be Daniel Bryan vs John Cena vs Randy Orton for the Undisputed Championship, so you guys could add that if you want.

Unfortunately, you're just guessing that this'll be a match, so it won't be added. — Richard BB 23:03, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well yeah, but it's so easy to predict.... You can probably predict EVERY match on here and get it right, it's so easy. There's only gonna be 4 or 5 matches because the Royal Rumble takes an hour roughly. It's so easy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.204.227.189 (talk) 20:58, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No matter how easy you think it is to predict, it's still just guessing, and we don't include people's random guessing. — Richard BB 21:19, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You should.... it's wrestling, who cares? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.204.227.189 (talk) 22:53, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is an encyclopaedia. Your guesswork can be taken to forums, not be speculated upon here — Richard BB 13:28, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, looks like it's a good job we didn't include your guesswork... — Richard BB 18:01, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, not an editor and i hav eno idea how this works but i just wanted to point out a minor typo, it says single match when its supposed to say singles match for the orton vs cena match. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.52.188.53 (talk) 02:56, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, thanks. — Richard BB 18:01, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

31 eliminations?[edit]

lolwut? Someone needs to doublecheck the eliminations. Should only be 29.. TySoltaur (talk) 03:54, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

4 people were used for Rusev's elimination and all 4 were credited. Also Kane was not credited for his elimination. 72.94.193.52 (talk) 07:07, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ROH[edit]

Why is there a ROH mention in the reviews section? That has no bearing on the PPV and just seems like a smark's throw-in to try and talk about how great RH is, rather than the PPV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.117.17.61 (talk) 07:35, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just caught that and removed it. STATic message me! 07:38, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Take a deep breath folks[edit]

Let's not use the reception section as a soap box, okay? I've seen a number of questionable sources used, and some highly POV statements put in. Worst ppv since 2006? Any source that would write that doesn't know what their talking about, and thus isn't reliable and thus shouldn't be used. -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 13:42, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of soap box, how ridiculous was it to punish Punk with the #1 draw? If they'd have given him #2, Seth Rollins could have kicked him when he entered the ring. Blown opportunity, The Authority! Also, that's a terrible name for a stable of authority figures. But yes, sources. Daniel Bryan would have wanted it that way. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:53, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Times[edit]

I'm not telling the editor that it's wrong, but it seems strange that Punk had only forty seconds more than Rollins, and I thought that the commentators specified that Punk had surpassed the fifty minute mark. Just want to throw it out there, I'm probably not correct, but just in case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.71.6 (talk) 18:18, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Entrant times[edit]

I was able to get the amount of time each entrant was in the ring but as it is semi-protected I can't add it in. Should someone who can edit it be given this info? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.126.46.184 (talk) 19:47, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Post the information and an editor will place it in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.71.6 (talk) 19:49, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

When Antonio Cesaro, Dean Ambrose, and Seth Rollins get eliminated by Roman Reigns Cesaro was out first and should be number 24 then Rollins at 25 and last Ambrose at 26 in the Order column. 71.10.34.40 (talk) 22:23, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done by someone else - to quote Arjayay - as the article already says that. starship.paint (talk | contribs) 12:07, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ordering of # of eliminations[edit]

Could someone who is more versed in editing find a manner to edit the entry and eliminations table so that, when sorting by number of eliminations, Roman Reigns appears on the top of the list? As it is now, Batista's 4 eliminations gets placed higher on the sorted list than Reign's 12. If the column is to be "sortable" from highest number to lowest, then this needs to be fixed. 67.181.76.194 (talk) 07:24, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Aftermath typo and spoiler[edit]

In The Aftermath section there is "which set up a match was set up between the groups at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view,[29] where the Wyatts emerged victorious.[30]", the start of this makes no sense and it ends in the most heinous spoiler not usually seen in these "Aftermath" sections. 77.97.92.68 (talk) 11:42, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia does not enforce any kind of spoiler policy, so this can remain. However, the actual sentence is poorly written, so I'll clean it up a little. — Richard BB 12:53, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, I've decided to remove it, not because it's a spoiler but because it's irrelevant. — Richard BB 12:58, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I will be restoring this in some fashion to the next paragraph. I don't know how versed 77.97.92.68 is in high quality (Featured / Good Article) PPV articles, but I have produced 3 GAs on PPVs already, and I see no problem in mentioning the results of the next PPV for the major players in this PPV. There is no such thing as spoilers on PPV articles. In this case, Bray Wyatt is a major player in this PPV. His immediate PPV aftermath deserves coverage.
I will be expanding the Aftermath section ... to-do list: Lesnar/Undertaker and Batista's WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania XXX. starship.paint "YES !" 13:28, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
