Royal Rumble XXXV - 1/29/2022


Dolfan in NYC

Recommended Posts

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"

Was this as tough to watch as 1999-2000 WCW was?

 

99-00 WCW was worse because the guys they weren't pushing (Benoit, Jericho) were more talented than the WWE undercard, and more importantly SUPER OVER DESPITE BEING BURIED (unlike the WWE crew), and also  the guys on top in WCW were literally some of the worst wrestlers who have ever lived (Nash, Sid), whereas Brock and Roman and Charlotte are talented just boring.

Read this in the voice of, like, Renee Zellwegger at the Oscars reading the list of nominees for Best Producing achievement in the category of Sports Entertainment/Pornography, but also replace every other match with the title of a Porn film.

The Nominees are:

Spoiler


- Michael Hayes and petey Williamson for the Universal Championship Match between Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns (Wrestling)

- Finlay, Shane Helms, Molly Holly, Pat Buck, and Michael Hayes for Cum Showered SLuts Volume 73. (Porn)


- Pat Buck and Shawn Daivari for the Raw Women's Championship Match between Becky Lynch and Doutrop (Wrestling)


- Michael Hayes and Jason Jordan for the Raw Dog Feature Black Bulls/White Stallions Vol. 145 starring Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley (Porn)


- Adam Pearce and Kenny Dyskstra for Edge and Beth Phoenix vs. The Miz & Maryse in MILF Swap (Either/Both/None)


- Abyss, Jamie Noble, Shawn Daivari, and Adam Pearce in the Men's Royal Rumble Match (Softcore)

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.

oh there will be a change alright. 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.

I was trying to update my friend on the comings and going’s of the women’s rumble and it took about 10 hard cam shots for me to determine there were 8 women left in the ring. I couldn’t count to 8 that fast.

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.

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.

Even then - Ronda overshadowing Asuka was tagged as 'peak white feminism' and I didn't have much to dispute it.

Yeah, I think it'll be Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship headlining one night of WrestleMania and Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey the other (wouldn't be surprised if Sasha Banks or someone else is added to it as I can see fans crapping on it with the two involved). Besides Survivor Series is reserved for the one time of the year when RAW and Smackdown go head to head ?.

Also - Meltzer said this morning that pretty much Brock winning has been planned since Roman's COVID test changed the Jan 1 plans (as Heyman's turn was supposed to happen then)

Dave spent more time focused on how Shane McMahon was pushing to a) have Sean Rollins be in the actual Rumble and b) to have his (Shane's) Mania match be against Rollins

Apparently - Roman was supposed to beat Seth clean but Vince changed the finish to the DQ and then the chair beatdown (since the chair beatdown was supposed to direct the boos onto that and distract people from the shitty finish). And because of the chair beatdown - that took Seth out of the Rumble

Covid has ravaged our house and we were snowed in, so I was a captive audience and watched this live. It was the first time I’ve watched WWE programming since last Wrestlemania. I’ve been trying to think of anything worth posting about in here for several days since I felt nothing the entire show. Then I remembered: Ivory was serving looks, resembling the headmistress of a boarding school in a European horror movie.  That’s all I got. It’s been this way for so long it’s not even worth complaining about. I’l try again in a year and see where they’re at.
