IT'S TIME TO RUMBLE. IT'S TIME FOR THE ROYAL RUMBLE*

KICKOFF*

[owenbrown]

who is ready for the worst Royal Rumble ever? Vince is gonna cause Philly to burn to the ground tonight.

[XL]

I’m actually feeling “daunted” by the prospect of watching this for 6 hours. Especially knowing it’ll probably be a total letdown.

[XL]

Izzy. Ugh.

[XL]

Least with the Women’s Rumble we get 12 surprise entrants. In the men’s we might get 2-3 surprises but we’ll also get Curt Hawkins.

[A.J.K]

I wonder who'll enter the Men's Rumble at #3...

[rockman725]

My prediction right now after hearing this round table, Asuka wins the rumble, challenges Charlotte instead and Alexa will face Nia Jax at WM.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So who debuts to face The Glorious One tonight? My guess is Roderick Strong.

[Evil Vito]

Heh, WWE rarely mention the age of their performers but they just said on the pre-show that today is Sheamus' 40th birthday.

[GD]

Semi empty arena match

[teamXtremist]

Power point!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Roman Sucks chants already lmao

[GD]

I am enjoying the Lucha Trio. It’d be wise to add Cara to the mix.

[GD]

Not sure why the ropes are blue.

[GD]

That was a pretty sick triple moonsault spot.

[Evil Vito]

Liked the triple moonsault

[slik]

Might as well make this the Royal Rumble thread and not just for KickOff.

[Evil Vito]

Roman Sucks chants already lmao

Likely upwards of five hours from the men's Rumble winner being decided.

Boy I can't wait to see how tone deaf the company will be tonight.

[slik]

Kickoff is 2 hours long?

[Savio]

Wait kickoff already started? lol

[slik]

What match is happening now? Seems weird to have a 2 hr kick off

[Evil Vito]

Kalisto gets the pin over TJP with Salida Del Sol

Nice way to start off the Tipsters year

[Evil Vito]

KO with an Edge shirt :cool:

[Triple A]

Yeah Kickoff at 5 PM ET, main card at 7 PM.

Kickoff is being streamed on YouTube:

<iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t6jLE2PIOYU" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Ruien]

Dunno what I am looking g forward more too. The RR match or everyone bitching their person didn't win the RR.

[Evil Vito]

I like TJP's work in the ring, he's just insufferable out of it. Glad he took the pin here. He threw a temper tantrum on Tuesday and again tonight. Throwing a temper tantrum suits that MRA douche well.

[XL]

Neck beard behind Renee is winding me up.

[Evil Vito]

Charlotte always comes across really friendly and likeable unscripted/out of character, then they give her lines and, even as a babyface, she comes across as terribly unlikeable.

[Evil Vito]

Pretty sure Charlotte just totally spoiled that Nikki Bella will be in the Rumble.

I figured she would be anyway, but yeah.

[Lock Jaw]

I hope Santino Marella is a surprise entrant

[Lock Jaw]

(To the men's Rumble)

[Lock Jaw]

I also hope James Ellsworth is a surprise entrant.

[Evil Vito]

I hope Santino Marella is a surprise entrant

I'm hoping for Christian

Who will then be eliminated by another surprise entrant in Rob Van Dam

:shifty:

[Lock Jaw]

(To the women's Rumble)

[Lock Jaw]

I'm hoping for Christian

Who will then be eliminated by another surprise entrant in Rob Van Dam

:shifty:

:mad::rant::fu:

[Gerard]

Probably see Big Show making a return tonight as he's only meant to have a few months left on his contract.

[Lock Jaw]

Neck beard behind Renee is winding me up.

Yeah, really bothering me.

[Ruien]

Hope we get the women rumble first and then all the matches before the men's rumble.

[Emperor Smeat]

Pretty sure Charlotte just totally spoiled that Nikki Bella will be in the Rumble.

I figured she would be anyway, but yeah.

That got spoiled on last week's episode of Total Divas as well I think. There might be just 1 non-NXT surprise entrant that didn't get spoiled or revealed early yet.

[Lock Jaw]

Owens and Zayn social media segment great

[RP]

Hope we get the women rumble first and then all the matches before the men's rumble.

nope

aj vs ko/zayne first up

[Lock Jaw]

Hope we get the women rumble first and then all the matches before the men's rumble.

Just announced that the Smackdown title match will open the show.

[XL]

Which Rumble goes on last guys?

[rockman725]

Uh oh, WWE Championship match first... I smell a title change and AJ winning the Rumble now.

[Evil Vito]

That got spoiled on last week's episode of Total Divas as well I think. There might be just 1 non-NXT surprise entrant that didn't get spoiled or revealed early yet.

I've been avoiding entrant spoilers

[XL]

I miss the super long ramp from last year.

[XL]

I've been avoiding entrant spoilers
:yes:

[Evil Vito]

HBK talks about how hard it was going the distance in 95 and that match was like 30 minutes long

[A.J.K]

GOOD BROTHERS

[GD]

I am not okay with The Revival jobbing out to anyone.

[XL]

Revival getting their W back, or another squash to teach them not to get injured?

[Triple A]

via Meltzer:

I don't know the match order but there is talk of the women's match closing, which would mean it would have to have a major impact. Ronda Rousey has been on social media pushing being in Colombia but who knows. She has been in Colombia filming a movie. But on her front, nothing would surprise me. There's probably a reason for Stephanie being out there announcing that match.

I was just told this will be a very newsworthy show, but it always is. We've heard talk of the women's match last but nobody has confirmed that.

[Emperor Smeat]

I am not okay with The Revival jobbing out to anyone.

Yeah that was really stupid. Its like WWE didn't learn having the Legends destroy the Ascension damaged them from the start so they decided to just do it again with a much better tag team.

[Evil Vito]

Fancy trunks for the Revival. GIMMICK DESTROYED

[Lock Jaw]

Fancy trunks for the Revival. GIMMICK DESTROYED

Keep thinking they are cavemen

[Evil Vito]

They have "JUST FISTS" in big letters on their asses.

Interesting choice.

[Emperor Smeat]

They have "JUST FISTS" in big letters on their asses.

Interesting choice.

:lol:

[GD]

I don't like the trunks one bit :-\

[GD]

They have "JUST FISTS" in big letters on their asses.

Interesting choice.

Just like Smackdown, they're all about "fisting".

[Lock Jaw]

Revival wins via chopblock. I picked them to win, but don't know how I would ever have guessed chopblock for the finish.

[RP]

I love that WWE is clearly saving money by having wrestlers do promo's via twitter with there phones.

[RP]

Time has defeated Alundra Blaze

[GD]

Alundra Blayze looks elegant.

[Lock Jaw]

I love that WWE is clearly saving money by having wrestlers do promo's via twitter with there phones.

I like it. Feels more "genuine" for our modern world. I'm never actually gonna watch them on Twitter, but I like them playing it on air.

[RP]

Alundra Blayze now looks like Kelly Anne Conway

[GD]

Blayze attempting to bust JBL's balls is adorable.

[Emperor Smeat]

Alundra looks like she's about to beat the crap out of JBL for the constant interruptions.

[GD]

I am glad JBL is not doing commentary anymore.

[Dark One]

Kill me.

[Dark One]

That segment was the exact inverse of Gargano/Almas.

[Savio]

Sam Roberts looks like he should be bald.

[teamXtremist]

That was a trainwreck

[Emperor Smeat]

With how hot the crowd is for Rusev tonight, whoever eliminates him is going to get Reigns/Cena level of booing. If Reigns or Cena eliminates him then its going to be like Vickie Guerrero level of booing.

[Savio]

They should have Steiner on the pre-show to analyze Brock, Kane and Brauns chances.

[owenbrown]

They botched the Stone Cold Royal Rumble highlights :nono:

[GD]

Sam Roberts looks like he should be bald.

Reminds me of Poit a lot.

[teamXtremist]

Rooooooooooooode

[Savio]

Wish there was an option to mute Byron.

[GD]

Does this mean that the Usos are going to be on the actual show?

[owenbrown]

obviously Dolph is answering the U.S. title Open Challenge

[GD]

Is anyone else tired of Bobby Roode's glorious shtick and "open challenges" for the secondary titles in general?

[Lock Jaw]

Why is there a man dressed as a taco in the front row?

[teamXtremist]

Whooo whoo whoo is challenging the glorious one

[Emperor Smeat]

Mojo's new theme sounds really similar to Eva Marie's theme the more I hear it.

[Dark One]

Legitimately expected Dolph Ziggler to come back to answer the US Open Challenge for the title he threw away because WWE.

[teamXtremist]

Mojo sucks

[owenbrown]

counting down the hours until LOLROMANROIDSWINS kicks off sign pointing season :nono:

[Lock Jaw]

"Watch out Bobby" - fan around 5 seconds after Mojo pounces Roode into the barricade

[XL]

Mojo answering the US Open Challenge setting the bar for “Disappointing Surprises” tonight.

[A.J.K]

i found waldo.

[A.J.K]

Mojo answering the US Open Challenge setting the bar for “Disappointing Surprises” tonight.

or maybe getting disappointing surprises out of the way. Wishful thinking.

[Evil Vito]

Mojo answering the US Open Challenge setting the bar for “Disappointing Surprises” tonight.

I dunno, I enjoy heel Mojo a lot.

Dunno why they couldn't have just booked the match outright, though.

[teamXtremist]

Rip mojo wat a horrible match

[owenbrown]

that doesn't seem like that was the finish

[Dark One]

that doesn't seem like that was the finish

It was. He's done the tornado out of the corner into the lifting Gorious DDT before. Mojo just didn't get up for the Glorious DDT.

[A.J.K]

:-\

[A.J.K]

JBL sounds different.

[Evil Vito]

I look forward to Roode's next open challenge being answered by Epico Colon.

[Emperor Smeat]

Probably going to laugh a lot if Ziggler shows up in the Rumble at the #30 spot. Might be more groan worthy as a surprise than Reigns' spot last year.

[teamXtremist]

Goat

[GD]

I want to hug Ric right now.

[owenbrown]

6OHc2C-GIH4

[Evil Vito]

They're really making a big deal of emphasizing that the Rumble winners can face a champion of their choosing at Mania. They didn't even bring that up as an option last year when Orton simply vacated his WWE Title shot and then had to win it back after turning on Bray.

[Evil Vito]

I want Asuka to win the Women's Rumble and challenge Brock Lesnar.

[Triple A]

Ric Flair seems very emotional and nice / humble

[A.J.K]

If you don't consider Ric Flair one of the all time greats, you have some issues.

[GD]

Ric Flair just called the WWE "WWF back then" :lol:

[#1-norm-fan]

I tuned into the pre-show during that JBL-Madusa segment. Immediately turned it off. That shit gave me a headache.

[owenbrown]

I want Asuka to win the Women's Rumble and challenge Brock Lesnar.

BROCK LESNAR IS NOT READY FOR ASUKA!!!

https://i1.wp.com/www.diva-dirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/asuka-battle-royal.gif?resize=620%2C349

[GD]

Ric Flair just called the WWE "WWF back then" :lol:

Can imagine Vince throwing a fit in the back.

[owenbrown]

kayfabe, Ric :lol:

[A.J.K]

Ric Flair is like that great grandfather everyone wishes they had.

[GD]

Guys, isn't it obvious as to who's going to win the Rumble? I mean, how do you possibly throw a 500-pound Giant off the top rope? I mean, the man had to eliminate himself in 2004 :shifty:

[A.J.K]

He looks thrilled to be there.

[GD]

lol at the crowd doing the countdown in the background.

[Evil Vito]

Fuck it, put Flair in the Rumble.

Actually, he'd have to win because just like Iron Sheik in the WrestleMania 17 Gimmick Battle Royal, he physically can't go over the ropes.

[owenbrown]

did the crowd just mimic the buzzer at the 5:00 mark of the countdown? :lol:

[GD]

Indeed :rofl:

[Lock Jaw]

Ric Flair sounds different

[teamXtremist]

Woooooooooo

[Evil Vito]

I’m just glad to see Ric able to make it to the Rumble. He’s obviously not in great health, but I love him, and it’s great that he’s well enough to be there.

[A.J.K]

Lol the crowd keeps counting down

[Gerard]

30 woman royal rumble, gonna be a lot of empty kitchens tonight.

[Dark One]

Ric Flair sounds different

Either he has dentures and they're not in right or locked in, or the medical issues he went through last year caused some brain damage, but definitely slurring/lisping way more than usual.

Can't remember any other times I've heard him speak since then to really make an educated guess.

[slik]

The annual sign-pointing begins in just a few.

[Gerard]

He has had the lisp for quite a while, and looking at him on this stream his teeth look a bit different, implants maybe?

[Frank Drebin]

Keith David narration, baby. This is serious business.

[Dark One]

Mostly unrelated: but did anyone catch the NJPW shows this weekend? Without spoilers.

Trying to decide whether to jump back into Monster Hunter World after the Rumble or try to get through the first New Beginning show before bed.

[Evil Vito]

Even though there are 12 unannounced entrants for the men's Rumble, I certainly hope they aren't ALL surprises. There's just no way.

I remember loving the 2012 Rumble in the moment (where Cole, Lawler, Booker, Kharma, Duggan, Road Dogg, and Ricardo Rodriguez entered). In retrospect all that did was further highlight how terrible the roster was at that point.

[Frank Drebin]

Still no pyro. Not even for the Rumble. :n:

[GD]

LET'S GO!!!

[Gerard]

Still no pyro. Not even for the Rumble. :n:

Gotta keep that pyro cash to go towards another laughable attempt at a football league. :shifty:

[GD]

I remember when they opened a Smackdown exclusive PPV with a triple threat match for the WWE Championship with AJ Styles, John Cena, and Dean Ambrose. This might be the first PPV since to have the WWE Championship contested in the opening contest.

[Locke]

Does anyone know the story of why Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens are friends in kayfabe, last time I watched wrestling they hated each other.

[Triple A]

Regular ass Raw set...

[Gerard]

Regular ass Raw set...

Gotta keep that set cash to go towards another laughable attempt at a football league. :shifty:

[Dark One]

Regular ass Raw set...

You get one rollercoaster per year.

[OssMan]

"Where's Waldo" in the very front row... why is he in the most obvious spot... not true to the character of waldo

[Triple A]

Does anyone know the story of why Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens are friends in kayfabe, last time I watched wrestling they hated each other.

At "Hell in a Cell" Shane McMahon was gonna jump off the cell onto Owens through the announce table... but Zayn came and pulled Owens away at the last second, saving him and causing Shane to crash through the table himself.

Zayn gave an explanation on SmackDown but I don't remember what it was.

[GD]

Greg Hamilton looks hella' sharp.

[Gerard]

"Where's Waldo" in the very front row... why is he in the most obvious spot... not true to the character of waldo


What do you expect, this is the wwe version. :wtf:

[Locke]

Regular ass Raw set...

Still no pyro. Not even for the Rumble. :n:

****ing lame...

[GD]

lol at the German announcer repeating "The road to Wrestlemania?"

[Gerard]

Zayn gave an explanation on SmackDown but I don't remember what it was.

"It was in the script".

:yes:

[GD]

I am glad that they replaced the blue ropes with white ones.

[Locke]

What are the titles

WWE Universal Championship
WWE Championship

[Gerard]

What are the titles

WWE Universal Championship
WWE Championship

WWE Bull Dyke Championship

[Frank Drebin]

Just want to fast forward to the Rumble matches.

[Locke]

Obviously AJ Style has to win right... they're not gonna make co-champions

[Frank Drebin]

Welfare Queen for surprise entrant or gtfo.

[Evil Vito]

So torn here. I really want AJ/Namakura at Mania but I love KO/Zayn so much that I want them to win everything forever.

[slik]

Regular ass Raw set...

I think WM is the only show that gets a unique set now

[teamXtremist]

Styles got this

[Dark One]

Byron getting feisty.

Must have just grown his first pube.

[teamXtremist]

Lol graves and Saxton bickering like an old married couple

[owenbrown]

WWE Revisionist history...:nono: CM Punk and John Cena were co-champs in 2011

[Frank Drebin]

Really want someone to get thrown onto lime green shirt guy for some reason.

[Locke]

boring as shit match

[Locke]

WWE Revisionist history...:nono: CM Punk and John Cena were co-champs in 2011

Sorry

[Triple A]

Think I don't like any Kevin Owens matches maybe... for like the past 2-3 years... really boring.......................

[teamXtremist]

boring as shit match


The fact its opening the show says alot

[Triple A]

Classic Kevin Owens match rest hold

[GD]

Lol graves and Saxton bickering like an old married couple

I don't remember Saxton retorting back before. Is that a common theme now?

[Dark One]

Think I don't like any Kevin Owens matches maybe... for like the past 2-3 years... really boring.......................

Owens and Styles just don't have good chemistry for whatever reason, despite individually both being pretty good.

It probably doesn't help that WWE keeps layering shit on top of their matches. (Handicap championship match! Special guest referee! Flat as shit roll-up finish!)

[Gerard]

brb gonna jack off while finger banging my asshole. Will provide more entertainment than this shite.

[GD]

The original co-champions

http://www.elwrestlingsegunyo.es/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Chris-Jericho-y-Chyna-como-Co-Campeones-Intercontinental.jpg

[Shisen Kopf]

Kevin Owens is a very poor man's Bam Bam Bigelow. He really should have a finisher call the gut check. He's fat.

[Gerard]

The original co-champions

http://www.elwrestlingsegunyo.es/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Chris-Jericho-y-Chyna-como-Co-Campeones-Intercontinental.jpg

SSSSHh, this is wwe, you're not meant to have a memory that lasts more than 5 minutes.

[Dark One]

Maybe AJ loses, enters the Rumble, wins, and calls out Brock for a dope WM main event.

Okay, never going to happen, but goddamn do I want another match between them after the one at Survivor Series.

[rockman725]

I can easily see AJ losing here, Kevin & Sami co-champions, AJ enters the Rumble, wins, Kevin vs. Sami at Fastlane to determine which "champion" faces AJ at WM.

[GD]

Probably after the match

Note the box of Kleenex on hand close to Vince for when the "big men" are in action. :|

[Savio]

lol at the "Mr. Popo Kami" sign.

[Dark One]

"Zayn used that move last week to score a win."

Wait. Wait. The Blue Thunder Bomb got a pinfall?

[owenbrown]

Note the box of Kleenex on hand close to Vince for when the "big men" are in action. :|

Kevin Dunn probably buys them in bulk at Costco and/or Sam's Club for Vince every week.

[Emperor Smeat]

"Zayn used that move last week to score a win."

Wait. Wait. The Blue Thunder Bomb got a pinfall?

Yeup.

[GD]

Was Kevin Owens the legal man?

[owenbrown]

KO wasn't the legal man

[GD]

"Zayn used that move last week to score a win."

Wait. Wait. The Blue Thunder Bomb got a pinfall?

And somewhere Michael Cole shed a tear.

[Frank Drebin]

Was Kevin Owens the legal man?

There's the rub that gets you to the next stage of the feud.

[teamXtremist]

Lol keeping the feud going

[Dark One]

D-Bry not going to show up and restart the match? Huh.

[rockman725]

Ok so scratch that idea

[Dark One]

I would rate that match 1/4th of a Johnny Gargano and Andrade Almas.

[Dark One]

This theme sucks.

Should have gone with Africa by Toto.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bit surprised a ref or Bryan didn't come out and demand the match to continue. Its also why it was a mistake for WWE to do instant replay a few weeks ago since they immediately forgot about it afterwards.

[Evil Vito]

This theme sucks.

Should have gone with Africa by Toto.

I'm more of a Rosanna guy.

[owenbrown]

The World's Greatest Tag Team 2.0

[DAMN iNATOR]

Tyrant Shane Piece-O'-Shit strikes again...:nono:

[Shisen Kopf]

Which Uso is the drunk drive?

[Dark One]

I think listening to an extraordinary shitty Kid Rock song as the theme for Wrestlemania may kill me.

I thought it couldn't get worse than GIMME THE GREEN LIGHT last year, but...

[teamXtremist]

You cant!!

[Triple A]

hate the Usos

[Evil Vito]

Daniel Bryan wasn't there then. Wonder if he's busy getting ready for something...

[DAMN iNATOR]

I'm more of a Rosanna guy.

Both are equally great, IMHO! 👍👍

[Locke]

Shelton Benjamin is back,cool..

[teamXtremist]

Which Uso is the drunk drive?

Flannel jey

[GD]

I am actually excited for this tag team bout. Usos have been on fire since their gimmick change.

[Evil Vito]

If they're not doing it on purpose, Shane McMahon has to be the most tone-deaf character this side of Stephanie McMahon.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Daniel Bryan wasn't there then. Wonder if he's busy getting ready for something...

Not getting my hopes up.

[teamXtremist]

This should be good

[GD]

hate the Usos

You better have a good reason, young man. Like a crush on Naomi or something.

[Frank Drebin]

WWE Network video quality has been shit since the main show started. Anyone else getting the same?

[KIRA]

Odds this match ends up being the best of the night

[Gerard]

Daniel Bryan wasn't there then. Wonder if he's busy getting ready for something...

Well unless it takes him a couple of hours to put his wrestling gear on i doubt it.

[GD]

WWE Network video quality has been shit since the main show started. Anyone else getting the same?

Yep. Had some issues during the WWE Championship Match.

[slik]

I like the Uso's

[Evil Vito]

WWE Network video quality has been shit since the main show started. Anyone else getting the same?

Knock on wood it's holding up for me so far.

Might pull up a second stream during the Rumble match though just in case it crashes

[GD]

In retrospect, The Usos should've been the inaugural Smackdown Tag Team Champions instead of Slater and Rhyno.

[RP]

Probably after the match

https://cdn3.whatculture.com/images/2017/11/8fc17c84397794c0-600x400.gif

what was this about?

[A.J.K]

Well unless it gonna take him a couple of hours to put his wrestling gear on i doubt it.

Wishful thinking that he is in the process of getting cleared by WWE doctors.

[Triple A]

You better have a good reason, young man. Like a crush on Naomi or something.

Thought they were unbearable with their last gimmick...

New gimmick is just as annoying to me... annoying ass promos.................. I know every1 loves them... w/e...

[Triple A]

WWE Network video quality has been shit since the main show started. Anyone else getting the same?

No problems here

[Gerard]

what was this about?

Vince not being happy with one of owens matches. He didn't pop a chubby during it and thus the Kleenex went to waste.

[slik]

Have a few pretty high ABV beers here. I think I'm gonna be enjoying these Rumble matches no matter what happens.

[Gerard]

Wishful thinking that he is in the process of getting cleared by WWE doctors.

I'd imagine that would be done days in advance, who knows though.

[Frank Drebin]

No problems here

You own a popular and successful website. They aren't going to mess with your stream. YOU ARE THE 1%!!!

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE Network video quality has been shit since the main show started. Anyone else getting the same?

Feels like that's been the general case with the Network for the Big 4 ppvs ever since it launched. Mania usually being the worst for quality or stability just because of the sheer number of people watching.

[slik]

what was this about?

From the Network special about KO at WrestleMania 33. KO asked Vince if it was a good match after he and Jericho and Vince said No and KO said 'we good' and Vince said 'No'

[Gerard]

Feels like that's been the general case with the Network for the Big 4 ppvs ever since it launched. Mania usually being the worst for quality or stability just because of the sheer number of people watching.

It was possibly worse when left to cable companies, i remember 2 years in a row before the wwe network, the live wrestlemania ppv stream froze for a lot of people in the uk a few minutes into it. Never recovered either, just had to watch it next day.

[Frank Drebin]

All I can think of is lime green shirt guy getting a chair to the grill after Brock or Braun recklessly tosses one away during their match.

[KIRA]

Wishful thinking that he is in the process of getting cleared by WWE doctors.

A man can dream

[slik]

Stream works fine for me tbh

[Gerard]

Vnice hates tag team matches apparently, but is fine with this being a multi fall match.

[Triple A]

Damn, forgot this was 2 out of 3 falls

[Frank Drebin]

Damn, forgot this was 2 out of 3 falls

You get even more Usos than you planned for!!!

[Emperor Smeat]

That was a pretty sweet superkick by Jey Uso to Gable.

[Frank Drebin]

Damn. Weak looking duel suprekick.

[Gerard]

At this point the superkick is like a punch with how much its used.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the announcers forgetting which Uso is actually in the ring.

[Evil Vito]

[slik]

The first fall of the this was as long as Sami/KO vs AJ

[teamXtremist]

Stream works fine for me tbh

Has gotten better but quality still craps out sometimes

[Frank Drebin]

ow. How do you not get a concussion doing that on the outside?

[Evil Vito]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch.

[teamXtremist]

Lol wut!?

[owenbrown]

get the fuck outta here

[owenbrown]

who did Gable and Benjamin piss off?

[Sepholio]

wtf

[slik]

Nice twist on 2/3 falls

[Dark One]

Oh god.

They're going to the "flat finishes and disappointing surprises to tire the crowd out too much to riot over Roman" strategy in the playbook again.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at that ending.

Sort of like that it was a 2-0 sweep since that almost never happens in the WWE.

[teamXtremist]

U cant stop the usos 5x
