It felt like every guy coming out was someone who had been fantasy booked against him at some point and each encounter was a little microcosm of what they could do. It all built to that fantastic Drew elimination and really, he had to win after that or else it was basically the Maven spot 20 years on. Now I want to see Brock beating someone while chewing popcorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got the awesome dance to MVPs music, at least. I also popped for him saying "Who's this big fella?!" when he saw Keith Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had the sense of anyone working with a head injury. I'm pretty sure Kenny Omega has suffered a head injury and is dealing with serious neurological problems. Well, I assume he is...because that would explain his constant blinking, unexplained head movements, and incessant twitching.

Also it looks like AJ might have got a shoulder injury last night, I thought his elimination looked odd and according to Dave he called an audible to get eliminated after taking the spear from Edge. He also stated Beth was fine after her bloodbath as well, and as someone who got a 5 on the Muta scale from nicking the back of my head while shaving I can attest to that area bleeding like a stuck pig the slightest injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I think the best thing I've seen regarding the Rumble is a tweet that said something to the effect of "You're all mad that Brock Lesnar is doing this Royal Rumble the same way that you do it on a video game."

KawadaSmile Posted January 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Watching the Men's Rumble. Look, some people say that Brock ain't shit for business but my God some of those reactions when he was losing momentum were unbelievable. Lee shoulder tackling him, Kofi's flurry and the joint effort with Rey and Big E... just unbelievable stuff. Crowd was losing their shit for anything that indicated Brock was getting eliminated, because he's that credible of a seller. Great stuff.

NintendoLogic Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I like how WWE's production crew is so incompetent that they had to upload alternate footage that actually showed Edge's first spear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. For me, the Rumble got really boring once Brock was out.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 They want to elevate NXT to be seen as equal to Raw and SD, so having the Rumble winner challenge the NXT champion would be to serve that purpose. Also I'm sure they know the only way NXT seems to be able to beat AEW is to have main roster stars show up, so that's another way to try to do that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Is it to safe to say though that if that happens....knowing that we're also getting Shayna vs Becky, that whoever Bayley ends up facing will absolutely be an afterthought?

MoS Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Meltzer also said that he thinks the Rhea Ripley match might be a placeholder and they might be trying to get Charlotte-Ronda done. That sounds much more exciting honestly. He did make it clear that it is not something he has heard from anyone, just something he thought of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyonthewall2983 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I watched the men's Rumble cold last night, and really liked it. Brock was impressive and if he wanted to shut those up who said he had no stamina, he certainly did that to me. It's not Flair in 92 great but it was an effective gimmick which helped the match. I was never a big Edge fan but I like that he's getting one more run, and he looked great in there mixing it up with the newer guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tracks. In general, expect a lot of twists and turns. Always the way with women's Wrestlemania matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Ronda was also trolling after the Rumble posting a pic stating "oh you thought I was coming back", so she's definitely planting the seeds since her MO is to deny something before it happens (see also her denying Dave's report she was leaving after last year's Mania before she in fact ended up leaving). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I haven't watched Raw in quite a while. When did Lana lose the Russian accent? It was really jarring to me when she started that promo on the way into the Rumble and it wasn't there. Did she just drop it or was there a storyline reason she stopped?
