... Why was this decision made? This seems weird.

[Evil Vito]

Soooooo an hour of her taking credit for the Rumble and the announcers praising her for starting the women's revolution.

[Evil Vito]

Is there a way to switch commentary options on live shows? Because I would listen to the Spanish announcers before this.

[#1-norm-fan]

Maybe after the match she can get into the ring with the winner and cut their figurative balls off to put herself over.

I mean she will

I find it so strange. Vince was willing to make himself look like a fucking idiot (for the most part) whereas Stephanie has to be some unstoppable force of nature. She's Daddy's little girl so he probably wants her to look unstoppable(unless it's him borderline incestuously beating her up on PPV like 15 years ago).

But you'd think with a wrestling mind, she'd realize it doesn't really help anyone, since she doesn't wrestle.

[Jordan]

I have no issue with this, it makes sense.

[Anybody Thrilla]

This probably means that she's a mystery entrant, and she'll be winning the whole thing.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Hate her voice, sk even if she wasn't going to take credit for everything, I'm still put off watching it

[Jordan]

There isn't anyone else who would be a "bigger get" for the guest spot. Say Trish or Lita, but they will probably be in the Rumble.

[Jordan]

I hate her voice too but only when she's on stage. Like Triple H they have this false voice the put on to talk to us. I hate it.

[Frank Drebin]

This probably means that she's a mystery entrant, and she'll be winning the whole thing.

Hear that? That is the sound of inevitability.

[Emperor Smeat]

Might be interesting only if she borrows some of Vince's old commentary catchphrases for moves and moments during the match.

Should go one step further and have the whole commentary booth be women for the special occasion. Train wreck or not, might get some genuine reactions than Cole's typical announcing style for this historic event.

Yes to both.

Steph and Renee and Paige

[Jordan]

I bet Renee as the play by play and Paige as color would be a good team.

[Black Widow]

This probably means that she's a mystery entrant, and she'll be winning the whole thing.Good.

I hope she does Askua bores the hell out of me and they have already done Alexa vs half the women in the match.

No way to shine this turd. The Women's Royal Rumble is going to be awful

Hey Gertner, what are you feelings on women sports in general? ( :lol: )

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

tbh my fave thing is Edge and Xtian (though I love them) virtue signalling on their podcast about how "women's wrestling" should just be "wrestling".

[RP]

I have no issue with this. I've been pushing more women type things. I think they need there own show. I think they will get it eventually.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

The characters need to be less generic. I kinda like Nia, and dig Asuka (what I saw in NXT at least). Alexa Bliss has something, but it's all pretty bland tbh

[Bad News Gertner]

Hey Gertner, what are you feelings on women sports in general? ( :lol: )

They waste ice time/field time/ court time that could be used for real sports. It's like Men's sports are regular Coke and Women's sports are Diet Coke. Why the fuck would I drink Diet Coke?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

There's the odd decent women's game/fight in UFC. But obviously it's not the same as watching mens' sports.

[Bad News Gertner]

Yeah, it's not enjoyable.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Actually there's a lot of good womens fights in the UFC. But that's the only female sport I can watch.

[Bad News Gertner]

Bunch of boring ass decisions

[#1-norm-fan]

This probably means that she's a mystery entrant, and she'll be winning the whole thing.

I actually had the thought of #30 hitting and her standing up from the announce table and getting in the match while Michael Cole orgasms at ringside.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The Bad News Gertner Autobiography

[Fignuts]

I would say All Japan Women in the 80's and 90's could compete with men, but most of those ladies were so butch, they may as well have been dudes.

[KIRA]

I can see her pulling a Triple H and eliminating the last woman in the ring and frankly I'd rather listen to St Jude patients being tossed into a woodchipper than have to hear her talk.

[Big Vic]

............................Well I guess this is better than her entering the rumble and eliminating 5 people.

[Big Vic]

Stephanie McMahon moment!

Not like commentators haven't entered before....

[Big Vic]

Fine

............................Well I guess this is better than her entering at #1 the rumble and eliminating everybody.

The Bad News Gertner Autobiography

If only that were the case

[Black Widow]

I can see her pulling a Triple H and eliminating the last woman in the ring and frankly I'd rather listen to St Jude patients being tossed into a woodchipper than have to hear her talk.Pretty sure the mute button works on your remote/channel button.

[Sixx]

Exactly. Her voice is annoying as fuck. And I will probably watch the rumble but skip this match.

[Lock Jaw]

Was looking forward to the women's Rumble most of all, and knowing I will have to listen to Steph for it kind of dampens it a lot for me.

[Bad News Gertner]

Just think, the crowd is going to be dead silent and all you'll hear is her shrieking voice.

[screech]

Just think, the crowd is going to be dead silent and all you'll hear is her shrieking voice.

I will yell at the top of my lungs for Lock Jaw.

[Cool King]

If she wears a suit to do the announcing, then it'll most likely mean that she is an entrant and her wrestling gear is hidden under the suit for her to rip off and shock us all.

[Frank Drebin]

Nothing like touting women's wrestling firsts and then having all of them end with dusty finishes.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Maybe she tries to intervene and this is where they debut Rousey. That's the only positive scenario I can see coming out of anything involving Steph
