Yeah, that seemed very odd.

Holy shit

Molly!!!

Dear lord Torrie. Those kicks... And talking to Becky AND watching the big screen just waiting for Sane while trying to kick Lita

My god Sasha looks lost as fuck in there.

I mean, Steph can't wrestle in that and it doesn't seem she has gear underneath....right? right?!?

Do not stiff Brock when he doesn't expect it Too bad the crowd is so damn spent, that was a fun monster match.

Gotdamn at that knee and punch exchange.

The best was Cena screaming his ass off for Nakamura and Balor to attack them after the faceoff with Roman and the YOU BOTH SUCK chants. It was hilarious edit:

A legit feel good moment in a big match on the big roster. A big title match fans have been wanting for Mania. I almost forgot how this felt like, fucking awesome.

Ok, this is legit great now. So glad they remembered how to book a Rumble.

By the way this has been the most fun Rumble in a LONG ass time.

Cena SCREAMING for Balor and Shinsuke to attack after the you both suck chant

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sheamus elimination has Vince ribbing him all over it

I hope Rusev at least gets to be the iron man in this match so he can gloat afterwards.

So the women are closing the show. I hope fans are respectful and don't start leaving if it's an underwhelming match half way in or something. Though if they start leaving if Steph enters I couldn't help but laugh.

Well that was underwhelming. Some impressive spots but this fell flat.

Gargano was fucking incredible in this, Almas held his own but Johnny was holy shit level great. Not my type of match, much of the no selling didn't really feel earned to me and the first 10 minutes were kinda pointless - I still don't know why Almas didn't work the back after the big bump on the outside from Gargano, specially because he kept selling it and Almas just wanted to do other stuff - BUUUUT, I was still really fucking entertained by this and no doubt could feel the emotion they were going for. The good outweighed the bad by far in this and the standing ovation was well deserved. Felt this was a better version of Omega vs Okada I and I mean that as a compliment.

Now for you I see your fun flippy shit and in return will give you even more fun flippy shit with CIMA don fuji and naruki doi vs ryo saito genki horiguchi and dragon kid. This is is the same feud as the famous roh match and happens 8 months prior to that match with this being near the start of the feud while that match is the beginning of the end as it starts CIMA's face turn. This match is often thought to be better than the roh match by dragon gate fans. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7MshERNRCoWVWRxVEpNanROZFk match starts at 1 hour 23 mins I missed the recommendation from concrete1992 earlier in the thread here is a link to my thoughts http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/40978-vordell-walker-vs-too-cold-scorpio-pwe-280112/ Nice! It's been more than a decade since I saw it so it's gonna be interesting to see how this one feels after so much time and me getting burned out of that style. I don't think I'll be able to get to this this week but I'll try my best.

I've always believed that Bryan was going to be put in the title match with Batista vs Orton at Mania no matter what. Like, that was a "change of plans" that was bound to happen given what was going on at that time. Now, the whole show focusing on D-Bry's chase and feud with The Authority once Punk left was obviously booked on the fly as Punk's departure wasn't on anyone's plans. HHH showing so much ass for D-Bry and putting him over so strong came out of nowhere and it's hard to believe that didn't happen because of Punk's refusal to have a match with him

That should be an interesting set up.

Richeyedwards it's time for some fun flippy shit

I haven't been watching RAW at all for months - just reading recaps and occasionally checking out stuff online - and thought they did a horrible job promoting the Rumble too. It wasn't about nostalgia to me, it was about having a fun show with all the people they had. RAW 1000 was very well done, I was expecting this to be similar. I got a run of the mill RAW, the type of show that made me stop watching.

First RAW I've seen in full in almost a year and the first I'm checking out live in months and just like last time, it didn't do anything to convince me to keep watching weekly. Oh well, hopefully the Rumble is fun.
