I liked that they didn't do the prolonged ending that I hate.

I'm gonna claim an obscure Vince fact: Vince must have a deep seeded hatred of #26. That number still has yet to win a Rumble.

The funny thing is the year Brock did eliminate 13 people was actually one of the best Rumbles...this year both the women's and men's rumbles were 'not great'

Saw some new wrestlers that I haven't seen. Knoxville and Bad Bunny were great. Best Rumble I've seen in years

This show fucking sucked. The women’s rumble half filled with “stars” of yesteryear. Becky versus deuce drop was boring as fuck. The intergender was ok. And the men’s rumble was boring. They had like maybe 3 guys not including Lesnar’s senseless entry who could convincingly be champion. Woof. Who the fuck enjoys this shit anymore?

Johnny Knoxville and Bad Bunny played their parts to perfection.
Two celebrities should NOT be the sole highlights of a Royal Rumble match. Fuck. What a sad indictment of the roster. |

With Edge & Miz — this stuff is for the reality show. It doesn’t mean shit to us, and this might seem trivial, but the placement on the card and whatever — making it seem more important than trivial — could be part of the story. It’s weak, I know. But those reality shows are an important part of the WWE’s exposure, whether we like them or not. Following big matches and going a long time could be part of what they’ve got planned for that drama. Maybe. |

They could easily shoehorn Brock into a Roman match. Big E could’ve won the rumble and challenged Lashley. Easy.

Big E has been drafted to SD tho, they announced that earlier this week, so he will no longer be in the main event picture, he's back to tag teaming with kofi

Not every Rumble should be a masterclass in poetic symmetry either, btw. It’s part of the booking of it that makes it so beautiful when done right, or close to right. If every Rumble was the greatest match ever, then none of them are. Nothing should aim to be “bad,” don’t get me wrong, but sometimes guys should just get dumped on their head and lose, and it should be a bit ugly. |

He was not going to win. He’s a talented guy, they tried, but it wasn’t right in the spot right now. I’m not convinced he’s going to be teaming with Kofi for long though.

Noid. Shinsuke has not been looked after as IC Champion. He's been forgotten. The IC title hasn't been defended on PPV in like 8 months. He's only defended it a couple times maybe on TV (only one I remember for sure) and he's been in like 5 or 6 matches total on TV the entire time lol

Meltzer reports Ronda is signed thru WM39 next year.
She is a member of the SD roster going forward per Big Dave and expected to heavily dominate that division and show. |

+ FOX always wanted her and were annoyed with WWE when the only 2 people they requested were Brock and Ronda and neither were initially on SD, so Ronda on SD keeps FOX happy

I can understand that from a promotion perspective, but there are ways around that. Brock basically appears on both shows anyway. I’m sure we’ll be seeing Ronda on Raw too.

I feel like the Rumble needs to be 40 people going forward with 1 minute intervals. They had so many people they could have used and didn't. No one from NXT, no Ciampa or Dunne, no Finn, no Apollo, no Usos....so many other options.

Only reason Nakamura hasn’t dropped the belt yet is because he’s been injured and instead of coming up with some sort of plan, they probably thought it be easier to just forget about it. Lazy booking .
The show gets worse every year - Shane O Mac as a surprise entrant is shocking. You could guess the Lesnar win the second he dropped to Lashley cos of Reigns. Camera work was horrendous- missed out on spots cos they cut away too early. Storytelling was limited - they could have built some of the mid card wrestlers more. Frustrate the crowd with limited Orton appearance. Women’s rumble felt like a battle royal on Raw or something - Rousey still only has one expression. Sasha Banks I thought was the storyline then they crapped all over that for a random elimination to Zelina. Lesnar is boring - gassed after three moves. Lashley is money at the moment. Reigns is gone after this title run I think. |

Big rousey fan here. Yes her facial expressions and promos need work, but her in ring style is a breath of fresh air compared to most of the slow awkward, fake looking women's wrestling that makes up most of the roster.

Nooooooo! Not everybody needs to be in. None of those guys would have helped the match much, nor would the match have helped them.

Keep it at 30 and stop putting so many tag teams in the rumble.

I don't think Ronda is the hot commodity she was even a few years ago tbh. She fell off the grid of being talked about by media and the general public. I can't see her making a difference for ticket sales in 2022.

Watched the Rumble with some friends. We did our annual wagering with a trophy for the winners. These are my thoughts:
*Reigns and Rollins told an interesting story. The run-up was how Rolllins was always in his head and Reigns couldn't beat him in the big match. And the finish reflected that story where Reigns ultimately lost his cool, because Rollins was in his head. He ended up losing the big match, by disqualification. So there is more in that match. The annihilation with the chair was something else entirely. He was becoming an actual devil. *Women's Rumble wasn't bad. Ronda winning was fine. Mickey James showing up and eliminating Michelle McCool was clever. Brie eliminating Nicki was a humorous juxtaposition of their first Rumble appearance together, where Nicki eliminated Brie. I don't even follow the main product, but I am done with Sonia vs Naomi. Amber won the trophy, which was promptly broken. Why? Because it's Pro Wrestlling. You see a trophy, it gets destroyed. You see a cake, it ends up in someone's face. *Women's title match was pretty good. Doudrop looked like she belonged in the ring with Becky, and is a damned good monster. Lynch went over, and that was the right decision. I'm sure Doudrop will be back, though. She is too entertaining not to be. *Ultimate Hoss Fight was next. I waited 20 years to see Lesnar vs Lashley. It was worth every second. And, you know what? I wouldn't mind seeing Lesnar vs. Lashley 2. The ending wasn't conclusive (double ref bump is new), which leaves the door open. Reigns screwing Lesnar was a thing of genius. I really like how Heyman didn't seem to comply out of a sense of duty to Reigns, but out of fear. Well played all the way around. *Mixed tag match was exactly what it needed to be. Gave the fans a minute to come down in preparation for the Men's Rumble match. It went a little long, but had a satisfying ending. *If you watched the Men's Rumble in a bubble, which various people want to do, I can see not liking it. But one thing was certain, the show was written around Lesnar winning, in preparation for his revenge at Wrestlemania. Austin Theory had a solid run. I was kind of disappointed that Omos didn't eliminate more, but it makes sense with what they were doing. He looked good, and it took everyone in the ring at that time to eliminate him. And I want to say he still landed on his feet. I think Omos is going to be money. Knoxville played his part decently. Felt bad that Kofi ate shit trying to do his annual save. It happens though. I liked that there were some actual mini-stories in this match. One of the better ones being McIntyre coming in, eliminating Corbin and Moss, then just murdering them on the outside. There was nothing funnier to me than seeing Riddle, an actual MMA guy, selling the Shittiest Punches in the World. Like I said, Lesnar would be back for revenge after what happened to him earlier in the night, so #30 was the perfect spot. And he just went on a rampage. The Riddle elimination was a thing of beauty, and you realized that he was a small child in comparison. The Lesnar and McIntyre final played off their last meeting. I was wanting Drew to win, but the story was told in the direction it was told. I was satisfied, and I can't wait to see what will likely be the blow-off between Lesnar and Reigns. *I went with a slightly larger trophy for the Men's Rumble than the Women's Rumble. That made smashing it a LOT easier. It was an idea I had Monday, sold the host of the show on it without much difficulty, and the 2 trophies cost me less than $13. A friend had a birthday this week and drove in. I said next year, I'll get him a cake... |
