7 Things That Are CLEARLY Wrong With WWE Following Royal Rumble 2015

4. Nobody Cares If A Legend "Passes The Torch" If He Isn't Passing It To Another Legend

Well, that's literally what the end of the Royal Rumble looked like as The Rock beat up Kane and The Big Show. Legends pass torches to performers who THE FANS believe have the capability to meet or exceed the standard of excellence that THE FANS believe a legend has. Otherwise, THE FANS see right through it and immediately take to online forums and discuss how a perceived legend was used as "a crutch" to "save the show" or "get a guy over."
