This weekend's WWE Royal Rumble PPV may end up being infamously known as the biggest disappointment in wrestling, or at least Royal Rumble history. Thousands of fans in Pittsburgh who were live at the event voiced their displeasure with Daniel Bryan not entering the Rumble match, and hundreds of thousands more turned up on social media. But as it turns out, the disappointment didn't end with the fans. Featured below are several tweets from former WWE stars, some current WWE stars, legends and various other well-known wrestling personalities.
Sadly WWE is still run by “Muscle Marks.” It is what it is folks.

How much would have the building & Twitter exploded if @reymysterio took off his mask & it was @WWEDanielBryan #RoyalRumble

When the vocal minority becomes the whole crowd, that's not dumb luck. That's how you sold a zillion Austin 3:16/NWO t-shirts.

If you want to send a message Chanting won't do it. Watch only @WWEDanielBryan segments on RAW, turn other segs off. That's a message.

support and cheer the guy you want and remain silent for guys you don't. Negative hijacking can lead to a spiteful response. #WeWantRyder

Biggest disappointment in Royal Rumble history, possibly in WWE history. Bryan is so over that everyone else is now a heel by result.
