DJ Hero Morganti Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Doing some more thinking about the booking of the men's rumble and why I'm annoyed.. there are better ways to get to edge mania title match that don't involve the rumble... And like Matt D mentioned tie up the two major year long issues on the red brand. But with Orton getting tossed off (thank you Dbry) by edge to win it seems to shut the book on that pairing. Especially with Orton and the fiends still rolling hard. So that being said. I'm annoyed because WWE missed a chance to make am actual new star on mens side in favor of an old guy coming back. Ali was right! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 let me just say again that triple threats fucking suck so WM will probably be loaded with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I don't think Omos counts since he wasn't in the Rumble. Apparently it was Otis at 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Meanie Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I did have a chuckle at how they handled the *name redacted* situation of Edge becoming the third person to win from the #1 spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Women's tag titles match was generally fine aside from the bs with Ric & Lacey. Drew/Goldberg was the short match it needed to be with the right person winning. Sasha/Carmella was good once again. Roman/Owens was solid though that handcuff segment towards the end was a dumbass move and failed miserably. Clearly they just need to use bolt cutters in these situations. Women's Rumble was good. Billie Kay was MVP in the first half. Loved Victoria & Jillian getting the legends spots this year. Rhea looked great getting in the most eliminations. Loved Bianca winning and getting the Iron Woman spot. There was just a lot of solid moments in general that made time fly while being generally enjoyable. This probably is the best Women's Rumble yet. Men's rumble was perfectly solid and enjoyable. Actually thought it had plenty of fun moments and Carlito was a neat surprise. Priest looked great. It also left me wanting to see various matches in Bryan/Riddle, Lashley/E, Lashley/Priest, etc. Christian was a wonderful surprise. Edge looked like he was about to cry tears of happiness seeing him return. The finish was generally solid as well. I was happy to see Orton trying to stay out for a sneak attack at the end fail so spectacularly. Only disappointment i had here was with the winner. Edge does not need this at all. Bryan with his story going in would have worked better. Hell, even Braun getting the spot would have worked better for me. I like Edge quite a bit, but I have no interest in seeing him in a main event match at Wrestlemania. 1 hour ago, Hagan said: Bianca vs Sasha could be very special but uh, has Bianca ever had a great singles match? I know she hasn’t had the opportunities and she’s had fine matches and she’s athletic as Hell but this is a huge spot for someone who still is untested. Bianca has had a decent amount of good matches. Before her title win with Shayna I had yet to see Rhea have a truly good-great singles match so I'm not super worried as Bianca showed way more at a slightly lower level. Sasha is also someone I think can help her towards that next level in the ring. 1 hour ago, Ziggy said: I was really impressed by Santana Garrett, I almost forgot who she was because I don't watch NXT but she really impressed me. I'd like to see her Toni Storm and Rea on the main roster. Santana hasn't really done much in NXT at all. She tends to pop up every few months to eat a loss. 39 minutes ago, Morganti said: So that being said. I'm annoyed because WWE missed a chance to make am actual new star on mens side in favor of an old guy coming back. Ali was right! Who was the star they should have made tonight? I don't like Edge winning, but I don't think any of the younger or newer guys had any real momentum either. Still that is on WWE's shitty booking.

HumanChessgame Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 When Booker was standing around in his GI Bro gear while Powerline from A Goofy Movie was performing I was kind of expecting him to have a surprise appearance in the Rumble. Christian looked to be in decent shape, but wasn't he done due to concussion issues? If he's capable of wrestling again then more power to him, but something tells me he sticks around long enough to catch a beating from drooling on himself "Psycho Orton". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Edge & Orton immediately reminded me of the Austin/McMahon 99 Rumble (i.e. 1 & 2 take powders so as to go wire to wire) and I kinda want to watch those two back to back and see just how much else was similarly booked between the two.

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 looking at the list of rumble participants the 'young guy' would have still been in most of our age brackets or older. Their main roster is old as hell lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I kinda wanna see Reigns vs Edge. Spear vs spear. Reigns spending the build up taunting him that he probably has one spear left in his neck, and whether its worth shooting his shot. Would the other An Uso be ready to go for a E&C vs the Usos match at Fast lane? Edge/McIntyre does nothing for me. As a casual viewer, Priest seems super low rent to me. I dont get his character, he seems like a lesser version of Alasteir Black, who I really wasn't that keen on to begin with. Yet he probably came out of the match with the most shine. Re: Omos, can you say a guy is *too* tall to feature, and that unless you're all in on trying to make money off the freak show appeal, its pointless to make the rest of your roster look less than larger than life trying to come up to his waist? Women's Rumble was good. I was certain we were going to get a Naomi heel turn on Bianca. They had some great segments tonight and it'd be a fresh program. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I won't post the link bc it probably belongs elsewhere, but Van Vliet has posted an interview with Tyson Kidd where he says he wanted to be a surprise Rumble entrant and Vince told him no. Would definitely be interesting to know how Christian got cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even then, who knows what we'll get. Do you have to resubscribe? Don't you have access to a Peacock account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did make me resubscribe through the Google Play store. No mention of Peacock or anything. And I do have the Peacock app on my TV, but it's the free one where I didn't have to sign up or anything. I just wanted to watch the Saved by the Bell reboot pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steventon Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Of course they have fragile part-time-at-best retired-10-years-ago veteran Edge outlast everyone and win. This had to have been the most miserable Royal Rumble show of all time. Atleast Belair won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontaneous Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I resubscribed for this. I have comcast so I believe I have Peacock but never tried. I think the women's rumble should have gone last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
