it also killed the idea of 30 being a surprise since Rollins hadn't came out yet. But then the pre-show kept pushing Buddy Murphy and how he and Rollins would work together. Wonder who took Murphy's spot.

It's really just a matter of who the hero will be though. In most fans eyes Daniel Bryan would be the David slaying Bray's Goliath (that didn't sound as good as I'd hoped) Whereas with Reigns it's almost like we are conditioned to think "oh it's Roman again Bray has no chance" I also wouldn't hate a triple threat with Bryan, Bray, and Roman

I am thinking Fiend loses to DB between now and Mania and we get Bryan-Reigns which wouldn't be that bad of a match really.

a couple of quick thoughts. Brock beating all the mid card guys only to be tossed by Drew is cool and all but you could have also made a guy like Keith Lee or Walter by putting them in the same spot. You could do it with Walter and still have Drew eliminate him for the big pop and I don't think it would tarnish his win any in doing so. Why was Sasha not on the show? She was doing signings in Houston and it was her birthday also. Seemed strange. Did I miss it or did nobody point to the Mania sign this year?

am I wrong in thinking this is the first rumble in a while where the male winner isn't overly predictable?

so does whoever eliminate Brock get a title shot at Mania?? If so does that foreshadow the winner coming from Smackdown?

maybe Kane, mayyybe Taker or Goldberg although I'd say no to both (by the time taker made it to the ring it would be the next 2 entrants time to enter) Even if they gave us Punk OR Edge it would be big enough to cover the whole rumble as far as surprises go. Edge denied it 3 times but really what do people expect him to do? Ruin the surprise. Punk would be huge and could give us AJ lee. Only problem is for that to work you would need to have the mens rumble first because if AJ is a surprise it would almost guarentee Punk since AJ wouldn't return without him. But do we really need guys like Otis, R-Truth in the rumble?

Ivan Stewart's Off Road is fun to this day!! I just played this on a mod the other night. Easy to play a few hours and get lost in the game.

this is partly why I think it will be the Bucks that turn heel on Page and Omega.

I'd buy you a million beers if I could. I told my daughter the same and now she is in martial arts 3 nights a week so that she can defend herself. She has ADHD really bad and I didn't want her to have to deal with bullies AND I certainly don't want her to be a bully. Due to her ADHD she is hyper and the school has suspended her for garbage multiple times. Finally I called the superindendent and threatened a lawsuit. He looked into an incident and found my daughter wasn't even in the room when the projector broke (a teacher accused her of breaking a projector). I made him have the teacher apologize to my daughter in front of the whole class. I also go to every school board meeting and event so that the school sees I care.

My grandpa gave me the 1989 WWF magazine with Piper on the cover. I was woking home from school and a kid i knew took it and ripped it. He was a state wrestler and I knew this but I went up and bunched in twice in the nose. He never screwed with me again. That magazine meant a ton to me because it was one of the biggest reminders I had of my Grandpa who had passed on by that time.

that is painful to hear, sad. I attend all of the PTG meetings etc, and if this ever happened to my kid I would own the school. If my kid was hit and got suspended for it you could bet your ass at minimum the local media would be involved. I feel like some parents aren't involved enough and don't want to fight with the school over a suspension. This empowers the bullies to do exactly as you say and keep doing their shit. Hard to get someone to defend a kid being bullied if they know they will get suspended for doing so. Instead you get a bunch of kids filming an assault on their phones.

Lots of people on social media suggesting Brit may have been drunk last night. I didn't think that but nothing in wrestling would surprise me at this point.

Good on Bray. What sucks in today's world is that the kids who stand up to bullies get suspended too. My daughter takes martial arts and one of the Asian kids at the dojo was picked on repeatedly. When he fought back he was the one who was suspended. The sensai (Danillo Villefort) went to the school and said that his students don't attack but they aren't going to sit around and get hit either. The school ended up apologizing the the boy and his family. Crazy world we live in.

her promo last night may be the worst I have heard in 30 yrs as a fan. They had to cut to commercial to cover up how bad it is. She desperately needs time off tv. Every other part of the show was bad. The only good thing about her promo was how great Tony was in playing it up. Tony is gold!

I wouldn't mind seeing the swerve be that the Bucks can't win the big one and they get so fed up that they turn. They beat on Kenny and everyone assumes Page will join in but he saves Kenny. I think the Bucks can play the annoying heel role quite well and face it nobody is going to boo beer drinking Adam Page or Kenny Omega no matter how hard they try to turn them.

I have a modded xbox with all the arcade, nes, sega, atari, commodore, coleco, n64, neo geo, etc games. Wish it had PS games but my daughter loves sonic and super mario 3. I am lucky to get a game of wrestlefest or no mercy in.

Mr. Belevedere theme song for the win!!!!

oh shit, I didn't even hear about this. The girl who cuts my hair went to college with him and said he always was into wrestling but was "a little different" never would have guessed him for a sex pest though.

you can't disprove a word I said. I wouldn't say if on here if it weren't true. When it all comes out as I am sure it will. It always does in wrestling. I will await your apology. Clearly you don't think she made it into AEW based on talent. No other promotion wanted her. Not Impact, not ROH, not NXT, not Beyond. She is there because the higher ups are friends with her boyfriend. When her and Adam Cole break up she will leave wrestling. Maybe if she was half as serious in wrestling as she is in dentistry she would have talent. I know everyone she worked with in the Pittsburgh area. They have open gym every Wednesday. Guess how often Baker attended? Answer how you think she got the position she is in. I'l wait.

Is Aubrey trained as a wrestler/training to be one? The fans would go ape shit if Brit attacked her and Aubrey fought back. That is the one angle that could possibly get Baker over. But it would only work if Aubrey is trained and they can have an actual match.

I've been saying this for month and people gave me shit about it. People said I was jealous or creepy, no, she worked for my home promotion and I was subjected to her Cena like push for 2 years when she was horrible in the ring, horrible on the mic, and got where she was because of her connections. But take all of that a way and the bigger question is what do they do next? The match was done mostly picture in picture due to a commercial. Then the promo was so god awful they had to go to another commercial. I thought it was funny when Excalibur alluded to the multiple chances she has had at the title. Hopefully she is a better dentist than wrestler. Obviously Tony isn't going to wrestle. Does she do guest commentary next week and make fun of JR? Maybe she insults him and another female comes to JR's rescue? If you wanted to build someone as a face and then have them turn heel Priscilla Kelly would have been a far better choice than Brit Baker.

Zack in AEW would be great. Zack vs Darby, or Pac would be fun.

he actually was pissed because he sent money to a guy to make him gear/boots and the guy never sent the gear after Jervis paid. I know he was pissed about it and posted something. A few other workers chimed in about the gear maker saying they had been scammed by him as well.

That segment was so awful they had to cut to a commercial lol!! I've never seen an in-ring promo where during the important part they cut to a commercial. She's not a good heel. They went with the generic "I'm beautiful and educated" route and It wasn't executed. I thought she would make a good heel but that promo shit the bed bad.
