I meant the PPV. This Men's Rumble had its moments and it was insane to see how much talent they have right now. Them putting enough faith in Andrade to have him in the Final Four shows how high they think of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Not who I would've picked to win, but on the bright side, Seth has had the best matches with Lesnar out of anyone, and Bryan vs. Seth would be good too. #SilverLinings and all that.

Strummer Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Yeah Ronda v Becky v Charlotte is going to main event so regardless of what you think of Seth he won't be closing the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartMark15 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 The men's Rumble was very bland, yes. But it's honestly gonna be hard to top this as a show of the year. This was wildly entertaining with 3 MOTYC-level matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NintendoLogic Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 If Becky is facing Ronda at Mania, she shouldn't have tapped clean to Asuka. Now it looks like she's ducking the real champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that one real good segment where Brock murdered Cole and Booker, and the triple threat with Cena and Lesnar. Â Also Ali might be the next in line for a US Title Reign.

Matt D Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 34 minutes ago, C.S. said: So, remind me again why the men's Rumble main evented? Lynch was a far better winner and bigger act. Because the Nia moment, which they felt was a big deal, couldn't have happened otherwise. Talk about misjudging things, overvaluing a canned moment and undervaluing an actual one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Also it could be because the crowd would be burned out by that point and in their eyes Becky is more valuable than Rollins, so you gotta maximize the reactions. Nia being in the Rumble was a mixed bag because while it was cool to see her actually do moves in Orton, Rey and Ali, the commentary and crowd feeling so happy about her getting a 3 on 1 beatdown was...... off-putting, to say the least.

Microstatistics Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Sasha Banks vs. Ronda Rousey My most anticipated match of the night, which turned out to be really good but not great. This might be an unpopular opinion but I think this and the Charlotte match have exposed Ronda, she was easily outclassed in both matches. This was a borderline Sasha carry job in all honestly with aggressive, creative arm attacks and great pseudo-heel character work. Ronda sold the arm well but was pretty much along for the ride. I liked the role reversal start and the finish ending with a pin rather than a submission (something the commentators also pointed out). Intense and competitive. ***1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMKK Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I don't think it's fair to say Ronda was carried in those matches but I also think it's perfectly reasonable to expect that experienced hands like Flair and Banks should be guiding her along through the matches. Sasha's shit wouldn't have looked half as good without Ronda's incredible selling imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShittyLittleBoots Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Fell asleep during Becky vs. Asuka last night. Watching the show now, and I certainly am very intrigued by the response Bryan & AJ have got online. Seen a few DUD's & 1-stars being thrown around at it. Ronda vs. Sasha was good. On the women's Rumble now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Seth Rollins winning is so boring. I would have had Demon Finn come out at 30 and win it. They should have had the women's Rumble last. Becky is just a bigger deal and more over than anything they could have done with the men's Rumble. They also should have taken a few matches off of the show so some of the filler wasn't in the men's Rumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kil Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Instead of taking Lana's place, they should have had Becky jump Nia and take her spot. Then Nia coming back out for the Men's Rumble would have made more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely no reason for that. It was a pretty good match that had a dead crowd, that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
