I always get amused looking at the Rumble times every year. For all the talk of it being an hour long match, most years they are announced as 90 second intervals. 90 seconds across 28 timed intervals means it should only take 42 minutes for everyone to enter.

Shayna Baszler entered at #30 nearly 53 minutes into the match, Brock Lesnar at 48 minutes. I think Bruce Prichard coined the phrase "Titan Time" to reflect the fluctuating intervals depending on what is happening in the match. Sometimes as a viewer it is glaringly obvious.

In this particular case, they have time constraints to worry about now they are on Peacock and presumably had to be off the air by midnight and therefore they needed to get to the finish quickly after #30 entered.

Lesnar coming in and cleaning house immediately was believable...anyone else does that and it would've been like "wait...that's it?"

Just really poorly booked rumble matches that showed the lack of depth/starpower WWE has created. That was always going to catch up to them.
Besides the general lack of drama in both matches and that neither Brock or Ronda needed a win to have big WM matches there's also so many things...


Quote:

* Rey/Dominic tease on tv for weeks they will eliminate each other in the Rumble - not in the match at the same time


* Austin Theory given gimmick of Vince McMahon's protege on RAW, doesn't do any big eliminations in the Rumble or do anything memorable, anti-climatically thrown out


* Damian Priest gets a big undefeated streak going on tv, doesn't do any big eliminations in the Rumble or do anything memorable, anti-climatically thrown out


* Bad Bunny is in the Rumble and not even at the same time as Damian Priest, his tag partner at Mania, robbing the crowd of a fun reunion moment


* Cameron, Alicia Fox and Melina are all in the Rumble match and none of them at the same time, robbing the fans of a fun nod to Cameron's Tough Enough 'favorite match' moment


* AJ Styles is #1 entrant in the Rumble, anti-climatically thrown out by a jobber from a different brand


* Sasha Banks is the #1 entrant in the Rumble, having returned from injury the night before on SD, anti-climatically thrown out by a jobber


* Natalya/Summer Rae spend weeks building up a feud through Twitter, nothing really comes from that during the Rumble match


* Big E was WWE Champion a month ago, doesn't really do anything in the Rumble, anti-climatically thrown out

We didn't even really get any 'fun' spots this year. I remember when R-Truth ran down and pulled a ladder out from the under the ring and climbed it bc he thought he was in the MITB match during the Rumble, very funny/creative spot.

Getting Brock back to Reigns is fine but do you know what might have been more interesting? Brock in the Chamber. He’s never been in a chamber match, imagine him suplexing dudes into/through plexiglass for 10 minutes.

Also have to throw out there, no one from NXT given a chance to shine this year. Why not put Bron Breaker or Walter/Gunther in there to give NXT some good exposure?

He’s still listed as a Raw star on wwe.com. It’s the type of thing that I would have thought would have had at least a small story on the website, or coverage on the “dirt sheets” (maybe it has, I don’t read them).

Just had a quick look, seems Big E’s move has been reported. Not sure why they haven’t moved him on the roster pages, they’re usually quite quick at that I think.

No offense, but that spot sounds horrible. I don’t want to see that in a Royal Rumble. I want to see serious dudes beating the shit out of each other trying to win.

Guys running in and hitting their routine high spots is one of the most nauseating things about modern Rumbles for a lot of fans.

I haven’t even seen the match, but I can already tell you that Kofi blowing his spot, Johnny Knoxville being in the match and Bad Bunny being in there are already pretty memorable. This is just your subjective take.

And they can always do that. He could defend his Rumble spot or just do it another time. Do we know for sure that there is even going to be a Chamber in Saudi Arabia?

Sorry to jump to hasty conclusions, but people would whine about Brock eliminating people in the Chamber.

You don’t want NXT guys out there every year. Then people expect NXT guys. And what would Gunther do? Eliminate one person and then get tossed by Omos? Cool. People would still be complaining.

I've believed lately that instead of having tag teams in, you have the team face each other heading into the rumble. For your makeshift teams, it allows to tease further dissension. For some of the teams that are built to be stronger, they have a storyline built in for when one turns on the other down the road. Could be 6 months from their match leading into the Rumble when one finally turns, citing "doubt that was caused from their Royal Rumble qualifying match because you didn't let me have the spot" or whatever.

I mean the show is called Elimintion Chamber so it’d be really weird if they didn’t do a chamber match.

You could do that sometimes. I wouldn’t make a tradition out of it. But having one member from a team there is fine, whether they get in by beating their partner or someone else.

Eh, the Rumble seems fine to me. I could have done without some of the lower card choices, but if you put Finn Balor and Cesaro in there, people are going to complain too. I absolutely would try and focus on a Tag Team Title program or programs away from the Rumble match for these cards though. Alpha Academy vs. Street Profits vs. Rey & Dominik ties up those guys. 6 places free.

You’re knowingly oversimplifying it. There’s a way to feature someone and still have them lose. That’s not what they did. With pretty much any of the guys in there.

Noid, go watch the match. It’s not the worst (some people need to go back and watch some of the truly terrible ones) by any means, it’s just…there. The Rumble for a lot of people is the one “can’t miss show” of the year, it’s an opportunity to get people hooked on the product. I mean, it might prove to do that, but for me it was a very “just there” show.

And even looking at the roster there: You’ve got AJ Styles and Kofi Kingston who were in this year’s match! Michael Cole let everyone know that it’s R-Truth’s 8th Rumble. That’s why I don’t lose sleep if someone isn’t thrust right into the sameness of it all.

And you’re right, they could still have Brock in the Chamber Match, and people would probably bitch about it. Which for me would be pretty justified. You can use the Rumble to but a spotlight on someone. A bigger spotlight than winning a Chamber match. Does Brock need the Rumble AND a Chamber win? At this point the whole story is leading to Brock dethroning Reigns at Mania. Man if they have Brock be the guy to dethrone Reigns

Underestimating how much subtle storytelling there was.

We finally got an answer on why Sonya has an issue with Naomi. Sonya eliminated 2 people and it’s no coincidence who they were. Sonya clearly has an issue with people with a high concentration of melanin.

And wearing your hair braided gives you a performance boost in the Rumble match.

This one had me laughing. Pretty sure Cole realised what he said as there was a few moments of silence afterwards.

There was another weird call when Reigns hit the Drive By with Pat saying “taking a page out of the Undertaker’s playbook”. Do not remember Taker ever hitting that.

Quote:

There was a substantial amount of heat on Shane McMahon after his role as lead writer and producer of the Men’s Royal Rumble match, according to Ringsidenews. He was reportedly “the talk of WWE today.”

A tenured member of the WWE creative team revealed that Shane McMahon “openly buried Jamie Noble” and he “tried to book the Rumble around himself.” Furthermore, McMahon was confrontational and he was gung-ho to put himself over, even fighting with people to do so.

“Shane fighting everyone, booking himself to be one of the last one’s out, eliminating KO, and just standing toe-to-toe with everyone has the entire locker room really angry.”

Another commented on the situation, “when Shane is more impactful in the Rumble than Big E or Owens, even people who don’t normally complain are complaining loudly today.”

When asked why Shane McMahon was made lead writer and producer of the Men’s Royal Rumble match, we were told “his father obviously made a mistake.”
