Vgmastr Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 4 hours ago, Shartnado said: Why does it seem like every year after Royal Rumble, the fans are at their most disappointed at the booking/ overall quality? Every year WWE seems to fuck it up. Sometimes they correct it by Wrestlemania, sometimes they don't, but fucking up Royal Rumble seems to be the rule rather than the exception! With 2018 being the exception where they actually gave the fans Rumble winners they wanted in Nakamura and Asuka and then fucking up Wrestlemania by having them both lose. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say both 2018 Royal Rumble matches were the last truly great ones. Asuka and Shinsuke Nakamura stupidly lost at WrestleMania XXXIV. Wrong that, ditto Roman Reigns losing to Brock Lesnar.

Trump wasn't chasing the 24/7 champion. Because they were both babyfaces. She should have. He was supposed to but he got a deferment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been interesting. Soon as Brock came out everyone knew he was winning. Up until that moment there was at least some mystery of who could win. Only thing that would have sucked is it would mean the end of RKBro. Randy putting up with Riddle's goofiness is just so much fun. I don't want that to end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I think Riddle's road to the title could have been really fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Feels like that would've at least come off like a 'new star making moment' if they went that route. Sounds like there's still at least some consideration of doing another title change in the Chamber and running Riddle/Orton at Mania for the title.

BrianS81177 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I haven't watched WWE since they debuted "The Viking Experience", but I decided to give both rumbles chance since I have Peacock anyway. I think there was one point in the men's rumble where they changed camera angles like 15 times in 20 seconds and I was like "Yup, I can go right back to ignoring this shit" 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Riddle winning likely means he's going for Lashley and it would've been the opening match for Night 1. In other words, he would've been Alberto Del Rio 2.0. RIddle's OK, but he's a midcard comedy act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock will win the Chamber to have the title vs title Mania match. He wouldn't have brought it up tonight if they weren't going to do it. Maybe they can go back to one brand and intermix talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t count to 8 that fast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Roman will cost Brock once again. Meltzer seemed adamant after Day 1 that they were not going to do title vs title, hence Brock losing it already. I figure it only came up here as an excuse to put Brock in there since it's SaudiMania. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
