The biggest downside of the Rumble going no now is there a 0% chance Strowman is entered, and that sucks. Nevermind I guess, since Sheamus is in both apparently. Heath eliminating Sheamus is an AMAZING finish to that story. Full credit for that one.

I've really loved the structure of this so far compared to recent years. The Corbin destroying everyone thing gave a unique feel recent Rumbles just hasn't had to any degree. FUCK YEAH ALMAS!

Sorry for the briefer show, but I'm having a lot of problems doing the full paragraphs for every live event like I was originally. Should hopefully have some more up in the next couple days!

Hey just wanted to apologize for not getting new shows up recently, this week has been much more hectic then I expected. Should hopefully be posting 3 shows in the next 4 days though.

They didn't lose though. Roman ate the pin and you can go Lesnar vs. Braun or Joe and the crowd will be hot for it still. But Brocks not around often enough for those programs to be done immediately.

I honestly feel like the best big match WWE matches are multimans. It covers for the weakness of big match WWE Style, and can be constructed perfectly. Some of that is because it allows for break-ups instead of kick-outs making things mean more. That, and it leads to less "both men are beaten down and hurting" stuff, cause others can be taking there place for a while.

Boo to Brock winning. This felt like it should have been Braun or Joe's night. No promises either will be these hot 8 months from now.

A part of me is hoping that this becomes the other 3 killing each other and Joe coming in to choke somebody out for the finish. I'd love it so much.

I love that Joe has one major weapon in this match, and hes going for it at every opportunity.

Braun caught that stair corner on the side of Braun busted him open. This match needed blood anyway.

I love Finlay, but Braun would murder him.

Much Much Happier, actually.

Braun is fucking Sid Vicious if Sid ever became a good wrestler in terms of just how crazy a force he feels like he is.

Fuck Yes to this match.

Legitimately speaking, Joe or Braun should win. Time is right, iron is hot. One of them have to take it. Either other direction isn't good.

Also, if Joe, takes the belt, I might literally cry a bit, but he's my guy.

This has the biggest match feel I can remember since the first SHIELD/Wyatts match. Let it be the same type of War please.

Now the only match I care about!

What does it fucking say that we are already at "Nakamura match to kill a crowd" point of his main show tenure. Yeah, Mahal, but still.

Moral of this show: If it's a big, super long WWE PPV, expect to be significantly disappointed every god damned time. Mania was trash, this is trash, the only thing preventing the Rumble from always being trash is that they don't do super mega shows with it. A blind man could have seen that this show was going to be infuriating.

I'm not sure what it says about this card that one of hte matches I would qualify as "looking forward to kinda" is the match involving Ambrose and Rollins. That's a bad sign for a card.

So, I'm still in my "Rusev is simply waiting out his contract expiration" camp, how about you guys? I imagine he's being pretty blunt that there's no way he's re-signing at this point.

*shrugs at Adam Cole* Really good Takeover, Main Event was the worst match and was by no means bad. Just an odd stylistic match.
