So Goldberg enters the Rumble now?

CaptainCrunch · 01-31-2021, 05:45 PM

no I don't see that the ending looked like a handing off of the torch moment.

Sasha Banks (C) retains over Carmella via Banks statement

Better match then I though it would be, there was actually decent chemistry between the two. Pretty good story telling as Carmella was never going to beat Sasha in a straight up match so she pulls out all the tricks. Carmella is a natural heat getter (By the way interesting entrance I had a flash back to the infamous broken ring strip tease from ECW). Anyways Carmella sold well, had some nice offense and had the crowd hating her. So job well done. Reginald is fun to watch. Carmella almost broke her neck on the ropes dive when Sasha was out of position and barely caught her. If I have one complaint about Sasha is after she wins no matter how tough the match, she pops up like its no big deal, which doesn't help her opponent.

**.5 out of 5.

Who the frack is Bad Bunny? How long did it take Booker T to find his GI Bro outfit. God this guy is awful.

-500* out of 5. Pee break.

He really is a Bad Bunny but not in a good way.

Woman's Royal Rumble

Naomi comes back, I thought that she was done.

Toni Storm, god I love her.

Jillian Hall, they should have slapped the birth mark on her face. But love that they bought Victoria in, I was a huge fan of her unbalanced.

Shotzi the first one eliminated. They're really rolling out the NXT roster, Santana Garrett, who's extremely talented.

Love that Bayley shaved Coles name into the back of her head, she's so great.

Iconics Reunion, love it.

Maybe too much Bianca in jeopardy spots here.

CaptainCrunch · 01-31-2021, 06:13 PM

Shyte gets real, Rhea Ripley has entered the building.

CaptainCrunch · 01-31-2021, 06:15 PM

And Shayna commits murder in front of thousands of people as she kills Victoria.
Dana Brooks murdered by Rhea Ripley
Bayley is ouuuta there.
Ok, I hate when they book shyte like Rtruth losing his 24/7 title to Alicia Fox during the Rumble. Stop overbooking crap.
Dakota Kai, love her. And she's dead.

Well . . . . the Alexa Bliss entrance was really a waste of 30 seconds and made her transformation look stupid. I mean she wanders over the ropes to stare into the camera with the evil smile as the lights flicker, then she's thrown out.

The Woman's rumble was a bit of a mess, there were some hard fatalities in it, but it wasn't impirational. It was saved by the ending between Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair as we got a preview of the future of the Woman's division, and the action in those last two minutes was exceptional. It bumped up my star rating by one.

*** out of 5

Note to WWE writers, you're not creative when you rip off a Rocky speech and give it to Bianca to use. Just do something creative for once.

d_phaneuf · 01-31-2021, 07:13 PM

Best women's rumble ever imo

Best rumble in general in a long time too

CaptainCrunch · 01-31-2021, 08:10 PM

Roman Reigns (C) retains over Kevin Owens

Really solid hardcore match, a lot of nasty spots, with a lot of give and take between Owen's and Regins. If there was something to jump off of they did, if there was something to be thrown off of they were thrown off of it. People tend to forget that there is no better seller then Owens, he made Reigns look like a million bucks. Loved that there was no physical outside interference in this one.

**** out of 5.

Men's Royal Rumble

Its amazing how fast Orton's third degree burns healed. Its a miracle.

Carilito damn.

Of course Bad Bunny gets involved, come on man.
Orton selling the leg injury, he'll be back.
Damien Priest makes his debut.
Everytime I see Riddle I hate him more.

CaptainCrunch · 01-31-2021, 08:18 PM

Team Hell No reunion!!!!!

CaptainCrunch · 01-31-2021, 08:27 PM

Stand back . . . there's a hurricane com . . . . never mind.

Captain Charisma . . . . love it. The look between Edge and Christian awesome.

CaptainCrunch · 01-31-2021, 08:39 PM

wow 29th return of Rollins, 30th return of Strauman.

Talk about throwing things into chaos.

CaptainCrunch · 01-31-2021, 08:40 PM

BTW Cesaro's contract is up after Wrestlemania, I bet he ends up in AEW.

SuperMatt18 · 01-31-2021, 08:51 PM

I wish they just did this last year when Edge was a surprise return.

CaptainCrunch · 01-31-2021, 08:59 PM

Its still a pretty good moment,

so who does Edge take on at Wrestlemania?

Mens Rumble was really solid and action packed, again the final 5 was excellent

**** out of 5

It wasn't a terrible Royal Rumble Card, but it certainly wasn't the greatest. The Owens/Reigns match and the Mens Rumble were definately above average.

The Woman's rumble was over booked with the Bliss stuff, and the 24/7 stuff, but the last 4 minutes was outstanding. I didn't think much of the Woman's tag team match, the Woman's world title match was decent.

***.5/5

CaptainCrunch · 01-31-2021, 09:18 PM

This Icon's special on Yokozuna is almost heartbreaking.

CaptainCrunch · 01-31-2021, 09:22 PM

Wow the part about the Hogan thing with Yoko and Bret Hart. Its pretty clear that Bret and everyone hated Hogan for that glory stealing moment by Hulk. Like you can hear the hatred from the people being interviewed. Even Hogan takes the blame for it.

Match was great until Heyman couldn’t get the handcuffs off. Ref appears. Starts counting..... quits counting..... turns Reigns can get to his feet with the cuffs on, Heyman is able to get them off, lame finisher ends puts Owens to sleep.

Was hoping for more from Bliss. Banks vs Carmella the worst match by far. I have never been a Carmella fan and was shocked to see her with a title shot on a major Ppv. The Women’s Rumble showed there’s much better female talent then Carmela.
