Overall, I enjoyed the show. Was worried that it would be a slog, but only Owens/Reigns went longer than I thought it needed. Both Rumble matches were good. Edge winning from #1 is a surprise for sure, but I always feel that it's better to try to make someone a star by winning the Rumble.

Much rather have Edge v Christian than Edge in the title pic. Never cared for either of them, and they still bore me. They would be smart to keep Edge out of the ring until Mania, so he doesn't snap in half again, and miss 8 more months. |

Like I told others who were mixed on this decision; one---edge winning is better then someone who shouldn't ever win and edge winning could have been bryan winning instead as a much better choice. Edge winning isn't upsetting but at least it wasn't goldberg sneaking in and trying to get a win there to face drew again or someone worse winning and taking that light. Now for the other side; when bryan gets eliminated we feel for his "almost" but no story where he'll never win the event but does everything else. I'd much rather have edge over anyone that should NEVER win it. There's a story with edge winning and bryan not winning as well. Honestly it's fine.

My thoughts as I collect them. I really don't follow the product, but I do more than the crew I watched with.
1. Not even Hogan needed as many shenanigans to lose as Charlotte does. 2. I'm tired of finisher spam Title matches. 3. Carmella is crap. Reginald is more interesting than she is. 4. I made a few cracks about G.I. Bro during the song we barely listened to. After the performance, Cole made reference to the gimmick, as well. 5. The Women's Rumble was fine. I won money in the pool as I drew #3. Nice to see Mickey and Victoria. Bel Air and Naomi did awesome. Toni Storm is my next ex wife. Lawler shouldn't be calling Women's matches in 2021. I'm surprised that it didn't take 7 people to eliminate Charlotte. Lana low bridging Jax was funny. Bianca with the ugly cry at the end. 6. Roman vs. Owens made me wish it was Pearce, instead. Match went way too long. The finish was botched and it was anticlimatic. Especially when there was at least 4 spots that SHOULD have been the finish. The Golf Cart bit was much better and funnier than the use in AEW. And why use the forklift to do a senton when he could have, I dunno, did the Halftime Heat finish? I don't want to see handcuffs or duct tape in another Last Man Standing Match for a long time. 7. Men's Rumble was good. This year had the problem for me of "There was so few people I gave a shit about, that anyone could have won." My buddy Chuck won this pool, and I didn't even get mad about that, because he had heart surgery last year. Glad he was with us. I thought Orton was gonna win in the end. Surprised he didn't. I thought the Fiend was gonna return. Surprised he didn't. "3 is the worst number to come out in?" Tell that to Ric Flair. Or to Bianca who won from #3 EARLIER IN THE FUCKING NIGHT! Carlito was in better shape than he was in much of his first Run. Wasn't Jey announced for the match? Why is Baron Corbin still a thing? For the first time in a long time, I saw Kane and didn't hate his presence. Also, for the first time in a long time, he didn't spend a long period of time in the ring sucking heat off of people. AJ's bodyguard doing his thing was impressive and new feeling. And AJ was clever in keeping himself in the side of the ring that behemoth was. Damien Priest is incredible looking. He has some star power to him. Hurricane does the spot he usually does, to diminishing returns. I liked the New Day's tribute to Luke Harper. Big E and Lashley fighting is something I didn't know I needed to see. CHRISTIAN! CHRISTIAN! AT LAST YOUR IN THE RING! The Bryan and Riddle chain grappling was great. I have no problems with Edge, the old guy, winning. Because, again, there was so little to give a shit about that anyone could have won. Dude also has a gas tank on him. Holy shit. |

While I'm not necessarily complaining, the way they handled Alexa Bliss was "interesting."

At one point Seth Rollins referred to himself as "The Future" during the Rumble.
Long-time main event talent, Wrestlemania headliner and multiple time champion - "The Future". That's been the problem with wrestling for the last 15-20 years; they give someone everything, and still treat them as if they haven't yet "arrived". Rollins is still an up-and-coming star, rather than fully cemented top of the card headliner. He shouldn't be "The Future", he should be the Present. |

I missed most of the Rumble. I was tongue deep in blackberry tasting, African queen pussy and a serious game of Among Us.

Edge going an hour in the Rumble is pretty spectacular. Christian returning is moment of the decade already. AEW has to keep up, especially considering they push older, more out of shape guys. |
