I only watched what I wanted to watch and I liked it :ehh:

Wish we had a conclusion to Reigns vs. Rollins, but when the DQ happened, I figured Brock isn’t going to be around weekly and they still have to have Roman occupied in the meantime so I’m cool with it since this wasn’t the main attraction of the show and we get more Reigns vs. Rollins for a few more weeks.

I saw the beginning of the Women’s Royal Rumble up till Kelly Kelly entered and then my stream got buggy, so I just chilled and ate and when I came back it was the ending with 6 women left and I would’ve been okay with any of them winning. Of course when you see Ronda there, you kinda know who’s winning, but I liked Ronda as a wrestler so I’m cool with it.

Lesnar vs. Lashley was good. I knew Lashley was going to win, but didn’t know how they’d do it and since Reigns and Seth still wasn’t wrapped up as a storyline, I was expecting Benjamin and Alexander to interfere in one last gasp to try to get on Lashley and MVP’s good side, but when it was Reigns and Heyman who did it, I was surprised and intrigued in how Heyman will explain this. Also interested in who will take on Lashley at WrestleMania (honestly whoever it is should still lose to Lashley :mjgrin:).

I thought the Men’s Royal Rumble was alright. When Styles was number one, I knew him as my pick to win wasn’t going to happen :mjlol: I thought everyone was going to hit their finishers on Johnny Knoxville but that’s probably take too much time, but it was nice to see Sami eliminate him and then get eliminated himself right after :pachaha: Omos as the unstoppable monster was great and then Gable coming up with a plan was fun. Corbin and Madcap are my guilty pleasure team so them doing well and eliminating AJ was cool with me and then Drew coming in and taking them out was great. Felt bad for Kofi, but it was too obvious his feet touched so I’m glad they just called him out instead of pretending we didn’t see it. It is what it is and I’m sure Kofi will explain it in a hilarious story on the podcast :pachaha: Bad Bunny is the GOAT Celeb Wrestler :wow: Once Brock came in, it was too obvious he was winning, but I ain’t mad at it since Reigns/Lesnar/Heyman are the thing that interests me the most in wrestling right now. Only thing I would’ve changed was probably have Orton last longer and in the last three and have Drew eliminate him so Drew would have the temporary local heel heat and Brock eliminating Drew would give the locals a little satisfaction, but oh well :manny:

Of course when the show ended I went online and apparently this was the worst Royal Rumble ever according to Twitter :mjlol: Oh internet, never change :pachaha:

she couldve entered at the end and been in the final 4 :comeon:
Final four for what? So she can be eliminated by Chuck or Rousey? She got her moment, trended on social media, and escaped without further injury. I didn't want Bianca in there because I knew what was going to happen, but I understood because they wanted her to look stronger to setup her match with Becky.
This cac streamed for 11.5 hours over this wrasslin' shyt

I know his wife cheating on the side
:snoop:

I think he auditioned to be a commentator and since wasn't chosen he's gone on these drunken streams ever since.:russ:

This ain't even top 5 WOAT Rumbles. You can tell that people were go to hate no matter what, and that's exactly why WWE as stopped caring about that sector of people. Vince is done listening to the Cheetos stained butt crack smelling masses, who think work rate = GOAT.

He was supposed to lose the belt at Day 1 to Brock due to Paul, so Brock wouldn't have won the RR this year it would have been someone else. Big E was supposed to lose to Seth also.
I'm still glad Big E got his moment, but he needs to stop trying to get this "be who you are no matter what" point over. The truth is that when you become a main eventer you have to mature somewhat. Rock was still funny to a extent but he also knew when to be serious.
I just want Sasha to leave the WWE. Vince's love for Ronda and Charlotte is too great and it's unfair to Sasha to have to keep dealing with that.
And go where? She's got all these amazing opportunities because of her status in the WWE, and she doesn't need the constant forced pushes like Chuck to get over.

This was my first event watching all the way through in a few years. Posting with TSC is always fun. They need to run Brock/Lashley back around Summerslam or something. The match was too good to be used as storyline fodder for Roman/Lesnar.

I won’t get into too much fantasy booking but having a title match and RR be dedicated to Roman/Lesnar when that match has been done 325 times is wild

I mean into acting. She dive full on in that. Not putting the title on Sasha doesn't make since to me and Ronda can't even wrestle.

could see Brock winning from a mile away after what happened.

once again, future Hall of Famer, Bad Bunny stole the show
