Go2Sleep Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Oh man, I forgot about Santina. Easily the worst part of the show.

TheVileOne Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 FYI, PWInsider says Kevin Dunn was the director for Royal Rumble. So yeah, it was his fault. Blame Kevin Dunn. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteCarl Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I've heard from 3 different people today that they very much disliked the Women's Rumble because "all those NXT girls nobody has ever heard of". I was like, well every one of those Women, with the exception of Shotzi and Mercedes who just showed up, are pretty prominently featured on NXT, so it's not like they're complete unknowns if you watch that show. Then, just to see because I hadn't really thought about it, I looked at the complete list of entrants in the Women's Rumble and 13 were from NXT, 7 from RAW, and 7 from Smackdown, and 3 "free agents". So, I guess NXT really did have one hell of a presence in the Rumble. Especially when compared to the Men's Rumble when only 2 entrants were NXT.

I don't see how this is any different. Still can't get over that Charlotte Flair had to be in last year's main event because "Vince promised her the main event" or some such nonsense or Rousey vs. Charlotte was the anointed match or some such. It should've been Rousey vs. Lynch and that's it. I maintain the booking of how they forced Charlotte into the match was awful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave extra credit to Goldberg/Lesnar for waking me and the crowd back up as we had to suffer from Rollins/Triple H and Wyatt/Orton back to back.

It should've been Rousey vs. Lynch and that's it. I maintain the booking of how they forced Charlotte into the match was awful. Charlotte had been stating in interviews that her goal was to be in the 1st women's main event at WrestleMania probably at least two years before it happened and had obviously been working towards that. Would have been beyond a shame for her to have been pushed out. Yeah, the booking largely sucked but it gave us that awesome backstage brawl! And Charlotte being there elevated the match. Period. Are Becky and Ronda ever going to be able to have a great one-on-one? I hope so but I'll believe in it when I actually see it. And , not directed at you specifically, but the ridiculous crying about the possibility of Becky and Charlotte ever having another match! There is so much of that story left to tell. It's a good thing most of you weren't around in the 70's or 80's or we might not have had as much of Flair-Steamboat or Rhodes-Race or Funk-Brisco or Gagne- Bockwinkel. Or later with Misawa-Kawada or Austin-Rock. I mean the thought that some of you might have had to endure so much greatness pains my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWhioux Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 - faking a knee injury to work the ref and sucker punch your opponent - attempting to remove the turnbuckle pad - having an ongoing argument with one particular fan while working your headlocks - shaking your head "no" in a vain attempt to discourage people from chanting for your opponent - the mock salute - CHEAT TO WIN~! with a handful of trunks on the winning pinfall - crawling away up the ramp to underscore that you totally got your ass kicked and stole the victory It may have been the bathroom match for a lot of people, but I totally appreciate Evil Bayley's homage to classic heeling. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
