sek69 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Let it be said Steph was fine on commentary, and was great looking wary at Ronda since the last time they met she nearly had her arm ripped off. Quote
Kronos Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Ronda smiling and pointing wasn't the best look. I'm pretty sure they'll make it work but Mike Tyson this was not. She's too much of a fangirl. She's dreamed of this since she was little. She wanted to be badass but couldn't stop grinning. Quote
FMKK Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 The rest of the show was nothing much but the two Rumble matches were awesome. Quote
El Dragon Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 ESPN, btw, is reporting not only is Rousey signing, it's a multiple year contract. Sooo not just Mania and done. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Give me Rousey vs Baszler, Pancrase rules. Quote
Matt D Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 I loved how the Women's Rumble felt like some sort of weird celebration of the last twenty years with all the ups and downs including the Bellas as final bosses for the Revolution. Rousey came off as charming actually, and I'm naturally inclined against her. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Also, nuclear take: this show as a whole was better than TakeOver Philly Quote

She's too much of a fangirl. She's dreamed of this since she was little. She wanted to be badass but couldn't stop grinning. I kinda feel like that's what they were going for. Then she snaps and beats someone's ass in TV. Quote
Coffey Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 My favorite part was Bayley coming out at #29 and the crowd not giving a fuck. Quote
NintendoLogic Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Well, that explains why the women's Rumble was the main event. And why Stephanie was on commentary. Quote
...TG Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 THEY ARE LETTING HER COME OUT TO JOAN JETT I have been wondering all night what they would do musically if she showed. It was the right choice. They shelled out for a real song, that's quite something. This is real. Quote
sek69 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Also the jacket she was wearing was one that belonged to Piper given to her by his son. Quote
FMKK Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Ronda vs Charlotte seemed like the obvious match there, but surely they'd prefer to have her on Raw Quote
jcmmnx Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Men's Rumble was an all time great one, the women Rumble was good enough, and Brock and Stroman shot on each other. Fun show overall. Quote
FMKK Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Also the jacket she was wearing was one that belonged to Piper given to her by his son. Ok that's awesome. But also, what a mark lol Quote
C.S. Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Also, nuclear take: this show as a whole was better than TakeOver Philly I agree. Nothing on this show was as good as Gargano-Almas (IMO), but comparing both overall shows, the Rumble easily comes out ahead. Quote
Kronos Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Also the jacket she was wearing was one that belonged to Piper given to her by his son. haha, I was wondering why she was wearing such an ill-fitting jacket. Good stuff. Quote
sek69 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Also the jacket she was wearing was one that belonged to Piper given to her by his son.Ok that's awesome. But also, what a mark lol It was no coincidence her nickname is Rowdy you realize. Quote
hammerva Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Also, nuclear take: this show as a whole was better than TakeOver Philly This might actually be the first time where the main WWE show was better than the NXT Takeover show Although I still might put Gargano vs Almas ahead of the Rumble matches.

Matt D Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Men's Rumble was an all time great one. Is this really true? I thought the final six felt special (both the young vs old and then shifting to Cena/Reigns vs Nak/Balor) which is pretty much half the battle. The Corbin stuff was good. The Slater stuff was good. One very fun surprise and one great return. Cole completely didn't matter. Almas had a good showing, I guess. The Kofi stuff was ok but went on a bit much with him hopping on one foot. The match felt like it was missing a hoss/giant. The women's match felt a lot more special/memorable to me. Quote
Loss Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 I know it's a big deal because the numbers say so, and that's great for Wrestlemania. It obviously is a big deal. But I've asked quite a few people I know who aren't wrestling fans if they know who Ronda Rousey is. The answer has been no every time. That has surprised me some. Did she crossover beyond just UFC fans, or was she just very popular in UFC? Quote
Strummer Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Ronda will probably be all over the circuit promoting Mania. A win for wwe no doubt but I'm interested how long she gets by on her star power Quote
sek69 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 All it took for the main show to be better than NXT was for them to get over their ridiculous need to punish the fans and give them what they wanted for once. Crazy how that works. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Gargano vs Almas is a sure contender for MOTY, but the Rumble might a contender for a contender for Show of the Year Quote
