  1. It was a very safe, by the book rumble. Women's outshone the men. You can't really even blame current events for an audible with how this was booked. Nothing about anything really stood out. Even the fatal four way was a typical Monday night snooze fest. The most exciting thing about it was Macafee showing up and even that seemed dialed down.

    I’m watching Collision on tape delay and derped back in and out on the Rumble. Caught the ending. Very happy. Give me Cody vs Heyman and or Roman promos.

    only thing I saw other than some clips on Reddit. Is it worth watching in full later on?

    Not really, the only surprise I guess was Andrade returning and very Lucha loaded front half.

  3. On punk: Everybody has been salivating for this since he got shit. I myself don't give two tugs of a dead dog's dick. Whatever you see him doing is gonna be a collaboration of Trips/Punks so he can feel like he came out on that job. WWE doesn't give a fuck anymore because it's TKO, and if you thought Punk's comments about working with children backstage in AEW was a slap in the face to the boys in the back, then his mixtape "Fuck Your Fuck Trophies" is gonna be the hottest thing to drop when he goes after literal children and families existing beyond Gorilla

    This is a shit move, and I don't think it was WWE's. It's the first TKO flex.

    If a show is headlined by a Swamp Fight and an Eye for an Eye contest, we know silliness will follow. I'm not surprised at the goofiness of the fake eyeball. What I wasn't expecting was Rollins vomiting everywhere. Though credit to him for presumably hurling chunks on command.

    Ah, Bruce was just feeling sentimental so he brought Droz in for a consultant payday.

  5. Overall, I thought it was a great show. But then I try to look at it from both the jaded grump I am at times, and the part of me that still thinks wrestling is the greatest thing in the world. I can see other sides here. Making Shayna the female Brock is doing no one in the women's division any favors. At this point they're gonna have to import Rhea, Jazzy (once she's up and running) or sic the ladies in the crowd tonight on her to even convey she can be beaten. It sure as hell won't be Kairi or Io that does it.

    To be honest, my favorite part was seeing a friend of mine in the Raider's entrance, and yeah, seeing a guy that called into the podcast that J.H. and I used to be on a few times win the NXT strap was cool. I've seen Gargano come up through both Cleveland promotions and it's heartwarming as hell to see him succeed. So yeah, I'm a bit biased there. Tonight was the first time I've been able to see Walter, and all I could think was "Damn, that kid from Durmstrang got on the gas after that Trwizard tournament."

    That lame joke dropped, I'm looking forward to the rest of the weekend. Does anyone know how Harper did last night

     

  6. In all honesty, this was possibly the equivalent of a sold house in the theater community. Some Saudi magnate that wipes his ass with 1000$ bills paid the Compay the equivalent of a PPV gate and was able to sell tickets for whatever price they wanted (probably given to friends and family and selected people of importance) and paid all travel, lodging, and logistics to get all the people and equipment there and it was done LONG in advance of any political happenings that occurred. So the company took the money and ran...ran what could’ve been a great show into the ground. Did they do this consciously as their own response to recent events? That can be debated, but we do know that guys have been known to stink up the place on purpose to show their displeasure about being made to work a card they don’t want to be on, or in a location they don’t wanna be. The trade off of doing it “live” is that once the show has started the production guys can’t do much except damage control on tr fly. Now to play devil’s advocate it’s probably not the case but it is food for thought. 

     

    That said, I’m with the school of thought that the only logical reason the show was this bad was that the only thing that would’ve made this the Botchamania to end all Botchamanias was to have Paul Hryman do the intro. 

  7. Guys, book it now and mark it down. I was at the show tonight and after seeing the dark main all I can say is that Miz-jitsu is gonna be a thing. Track down Jeff Hardy's sell work at being both confused and slightly "Is this shit for real? Better throwup some defense in case it isn't." Christ that was one of the best dark mains I've ever seen and Miz going old school Rick Rude is, and I hate to say it, must see TV.

    That was mindboggling levels of stupidity. She's going to catch her breath in a hold that literally works by making it hard to breathe... Coach is so fucking bad it's beyond parody at this point.

    Really, Graves and Coach have turned to shit. When Smackdown rolls in on Tuesday and I can snag another post show pic with Byron, I'm gonna ask him who I have to pay off both of to potato both those clowns.

  9. Anyone on XBL have a Driver Clan going? I'd love to embarass some fuckers in the Crucible with ya'll, maybe hit the Nightfall raids once they strip the timer and finally see what shit like Trials of the Nine and the Leviathan raid are all about.

    :rolleyes: yeah fuck me for thinking Lana, a manager, and Carmella, who already has a championship match anytime she wants it, being in the Royal Rumble is dumb. Never mind the fact that Meltzer said Ronda is in Bogota filming a movie and it's unlikely, but hey, go ahead and be that guy!

    I didn't realize Rousey is in Colombia, but Because she's shooting there right now doesn't mean there wasn't agreements for travel made. And let's face it, as far as debuts and taking bumps, a Rumble isn't a bad way to throw out that she's there, even if it's an in and out kinda deal if that's where she's gonna end up. Granted, from what you say, slim possibility. But we know they've done crazier shit for a rumble appearance.

    I'm not aware of a new Dustin Rhodes book, but I wouldn't mind if he wrote a second one that's a lot beefier. "Cross Rhodes" was a disappointment at best - too much about his drug problems and "daddy issues," and not enough about wrestling.

    Regal also covered his drug problems, but not at the expense of everything else. While Regal's book was somewhat uplifting, I found Dustin's downright depressing.

    I reallllly liked Regal's book. It was an entertaining read and he makes no apologies about anything. It was really a good read. I have a small amazon gift card and want to get a good wrestling book for my kindle app, so I'm digging into what might be out there and cheap. I got the Regal book for 2.99 which as a total steal.
