Royal Rumble thought

#1 & #2 should conspire to work together to continually eliminate wrestlers immediately as they enter the ring instead of fighting each other so they can be the last 2 and 50/50 chance of winning

Lol Rikishi with the first 5 elimination in RR 2000

Blackman #6

Bah gawd its Fatu vs Mabel

Lol dead wrestler 4 in a row Vis Bossman Test Bulldog

Rock wins..meh

Big Show looks as good now as he did in 2000

Also odd that Big Show Jericho and Mosh have wrestled recently of everyone and 6 have died

Watching monster trucks from the Alamo Dome that was taped earlier this week and all I could think of was the WCW stuff they did with monster trucks lol

That haircut does wonders for Braun's look. Both guys slimmed down. Big Show looks great

No doubt they both look smaller and in better shape. That being said, they're also both a lot further apart and zoomed out further on both guys in the newer 2017 photos.

Weird thing is it looks like Big Show grew from the first to second pic

who's the ginger with the umbrella?

Jack Gallagher from the Cruiser division.

Because he's not leaning forward in the second pic, plus weight-loss makes him look taller and his posture looks straighter. Not all that weird really :)

Feels like they've got the PPVs backwards and Raw should have the Chamber and SDL Fast Lane.

If you put SDL's top 6 guys in the EC, let's say Cena, AJ, Corbin, Ambrose, Wyatt, Miz that's a very thin under card. You could do Orton vs. Harper, a Tag Title Match, a Women's title (perhaps an EC for that too), then you're on to guys like Crews, Kalisto, etc that don't feel like PPV attractions.

Meanwhile on Raw there's more depth and a lot of converging paths in the title scene where you could put the title on the line or do the EC for a shot as they didn't have the Rumble winner. You'd still have a Raw Women's title match, US Title, Tag Team championship match, Cruiser title match and enough undercard to put on a decent show.

Whatever the pool is for the next batch of callups, Smackdown really needs to get the most for depth reasons. For example, if they got both Joe and Dillinger, their midcard and main event scene gets a really good boost at the same time.

Was ok when RAW got more draft picks because of the extra hour but then they quickly got a bigger boost with the Cruiser division while all Smackdown got was Jack Swagger I think.

Big Show actually looks fantastic. Good on him for putting in the hard yards.

Are Smackdown specials 2 or 3 hours?

You have the chamber, an Orton defence, Ziggler vs Crews, Lynch vs Mickie, Bliss vs Naomi, a tag title match, they will manage.

But yeah, roster is pencil thin. I know they value NXT, but Bobby Roode is 40. They need to get these guys up and get use out of them while they can.

It's not like Roode is dying. He could have five to ten years left.

3 hour ppvs just like RAW branded ones.

Think the idea is you're potentially wasting miles on an already experienced wrestler, who you could very much use on your main show.

I tend to agree. Roode is main show ready and he'd fit right in on Smackdown.

In many ways he seems like he doesn't belong on NXT because his style is already that of the main roster, which is quite different than NXT's style.

Watching all of nxt on the app.

In 2014

Emma. Wtf is this. Awful worker too.

She's good when working heel.

He didn't make an appearance in the rumble when he faced John Cena earlier in the night.

History has shown that you can't rely on guys after their mid forties he really to still be putting on high quality matches.

You want to get a guys best years in the best shows, and they are running out of time to do that

Think he meant the event, not the match itself. Kane (with one gimmick or another) had appeared at 21 straight Royal Rumble events before this one.

WWF Did You Know: Ted Dibase and IRS weren't the original plans for Money Inc. It was going to to HBK and DiBiase with Sherri being the common link

Would have not worked at all

Nope, but Michaels was floundering as a singles star at the time, especially with Jannetty fired right when their angle was starting. He didn't really have a lot to do.

Pretty much only picked up steam when Bulldog left and they had that barnburner on SNME
