So....that was a Sabu shirt Rowan was wearing right :mjlol:

I thought it was a Misfits shirt...

Sorry to say, AJ/Bryan isn't what it looks like on paper. I liked the matches they had on TV especially the one where Bryan won the title, but the ones they've had on PPV seems like they're tryin' way too hard to make it 'feel' epic but it's not. Someone on FB tried to say "it's cause Vince won't let them do them"... he lets Rey and Andrade do them and they turn out dope shyt all month, so why would I believe he somehow holdin' AJ and Bryan back? They just didn't hsve a good match, that's all.

Finn/Brock was about what I expected. Hell, in many ways it's what the AJ/Bryan match shoulda been- nothing too long, nonstop action, definitive finish, post-match shenanigans.

There were some blah points in the Men's Rumble but I gotta say, I did like the fact they had some different guys in there and gave them all some time to shine... Dunne, Black, and Gargano were dope additions, also Ali is getting some good looks, Joe was a beast in there for a while, Drew was killin', I didn't even expect Shelton but he did his thing, etc. And the Nia Jax shyt was hilarious, most entertaining part of the match. I also kinda appreciate that they didn't rely on trotting out old guys who they always tout as threats to win but you know damn well they ain't- namely Kane & Big Show. It's clear though, that folks like Hardy, Orton, Ziggler, and to a lesser extent Rey got time passin' them by. Rey seems rejuvenated a lil bit as of late (them Andrade matches :whew:) but the other three, they're just faces in the crowd at this point.

Women's Rumble wasn't quite that dope this year. I was OK with the lack of Legends and whatnot, but there was just too much shyt in there that was supposed to be entertaining/funny/etc that fell flat. The Hornswoggle shyt was comical, the Lana injury/Nia beatdown was :huhldup:, and the Becky pop-up was dope AF. I'd say when they got down to the last 6-7 women it got good. Bayley even showed some fire in there, and she's been boring forever.

Both the women's matches were dope, didn't care for the tag match but I figured I wouldn't. Everyone needs a piss break, so :manny:

Couldn't be fukked to post after the Men's Rumble because it was stupid o clock, but just to say I don't give a fukk about Seth Rollins. Don't get it. Never have. Doubt I will. Talks like a p*ssy. Cavorts with neo nazis. Above average vanilla midget style. He could be anyone from the performance center.

I get that he's over. I just don't get why.

The Lashley one I legitimately thought was a botch. I get if they don’t think he’s the guy to send to the talk shows with the belt, but if he’s not then he’s the guy to face that guy. He’s way too threatening and good of a worker to not at least be in a top heel spot.
He immediatly tried to destroy Seth though. That could be setting up a feud once Rollins gets the belt off Brock?

The RR itself is a mess... it used to be the rare moment where you’d see dream match scenario ppl interact with each other who normally don’t

That has not happened in years, excluding the AJ Styles debut because any interaction he had that night was fresh... I’m talking about ppl already popular in storylines facing off against others

But then again we’re at a time where you have no true heels or faces... I used to love seeing a baby face square off with another baby face in the rumble or a major heel vs another major heel
straight up belly achin' :mjlol:
