Royal Rumble 2023 aka 30 years of pointing at sign as Mania main event booking

[Dav'oh]

Men's match starting off works for me. I's midday here and I'm due a nap in a couple of hours.

[hammerva]

I don't know if I want Corey AND McAfee at together.  Can we just tell Corey to get to Pittsburgh

Starting with the men's is an odd choice.  I mean there can't be that much of a buzz in the women's match to make it a main

Miz doing his Daniel Puder Royal Rumble impersonation would be awesome 

[Tenese Sarwieh]

Giving Gunther the Ironman gimmick is great.

Sami wins or I riot!

(He won't win.)

Roman vs. KO is obviously the main now.

[hammerva]

Which is a great way to make sure Cody doesn't get any Batista treatment 

This is Kofi Kingston's 15th Rumble?  Fuck we are getting old

The only "Harbinger of Death" for Karrion Kross is his damn career at this point

[Coffey]

Karrion Kross is slowly morphing into Mason Ryan. The transition is almost complete.

What a bullshit spot with Kofi and Xavier smacking each others' arses. Way to make the match seem important/serious.

It was a very New Day way to swerve the old "tag partners fight at the Rumble" spot. Plus the crowd didn't seem to want to see them fight.

It was dumb, but let's not get carried away. Everyone thought they were going to fight, and then they subverted expectations - nothing more to it than that, and not worth overthinking.

[hammerva]

way too many people in this match.  Brock has to be coming in soon

Cole is having way too much fun with McAfee as the 3rd man.   Cole trying to explain what tag team name Shemaus/Drew was that they can't say and McAfee saying that Cole saying that the internet called him fat.  

[C.S.]

This match needs surprises. No one cares about some of these tomato cans who have no chance of winning.

[sek69]

Corey referencing Mil Mascaras eliminating himself from the Rumble got a pop from me

[Coffey]

Man, they didn’t even put the camera on Dawkins’ jobber ass during his entrance. Poor guy.

[Dav'oh]

Everything up to that spot was hard-hitting and earnest and a 'Mania shot is on the line and ass-clowns gonna ass-clown I'll stop now.

[sek69]

I really want Gunther vs Drew now

Here he comes...

[sek69]

Here comes Brock to take out the trash

[Tenese Sarwieh]

I want Gunther vs Brock.

[sek69]

Nothing seems to make Brock happier than seeing new MEATY MEN to slap meat with. 

[Dav'oh]

Gunther hasn't been this lean since he was twelve

[hammerva]

Are we sure Shemaus doesn't have a broken neck or broken anything?    He took a terrible beating by Brock

Best use of Baron Corbin in the WWE ever 

[sek69]

Corbin getting murked will always get a thumbs up in my book.

[WingedEagle]

Brock vs. Lashley is a Mania match I can get behind.  Two dudes that can go and hit hard but yet I'm not really keen on seeing in anything more prominent. 

Fingers crossed that Gunther gets the run of runs before being tossed and is properly positioned as an important dude.  Will happily accept him vs. Sheamus at Mania but I'd like to see him have the opportunity to work higher on the card.

[C.S.]

Was Kofi eliminated with the chair spot?
