Flannel jey

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

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

Not getting my hopes up.

This should be good

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

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

Odds this match ends up being the best of the night

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

Yep. Had some issues during the WWE Championship Match.

I like the Uso's

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

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

what was this about?

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

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...

No problems here

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

It's from his 365 special where he's looking for Vince's feedback after a big match.

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

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

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

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.

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'

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.

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.

A man can dream

Stream works fine for me tbh

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

Damn, forgot this was 2 out of 3 falls

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

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

Damn. Weak looking duel suprekick.

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

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

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

Has gotten better but quality still craps out sometimes

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

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Ouch.

Lol wut!?

get the fuck outta here

who did Gable and Benjamin piss off?

wtf

Nice twist on 2/3 falls

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.

:lol: at that ending.

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

U cant stop the usos 5x

I don't disagree with the Usos winning 2-0, just, sudden roll-up is a flat finish, especially after JUST doing that in the match before.

Oh wow, they're closing with the women's Rumble

Rousey is definitely there, then

Women going on last. Roman wins. Ronda wins or is eliminated by Steph. Might as well book it.

I feel like it's never a good sign when the Rumble doesn't main event.

Oh God. Women going on last so they can be like "OMG WHAT A REVOLUTIONARY MOMENT OMGGGGGGG!"

The great part about it not closing the show is that if Roman wins, Philly is going to boo for three hours staight.

Why do I have a sinking feeling either the Men's Rumble is going to have a depressing choice as winner since its not last or WWE has some swerve planned for the Women's Rumble that is going to be terrible.

And if that doesn't give them a hint, nothing will.

Or both will happen.

Chris Jericho spent 5 hours in a Roayl Rumble, what..

ROMAN REIGNS IS NOT AN UNDERDOG!!!

I'm actually kind of glad they're doing it this early, I want to get the reepping out of the way.

Did they announce that the women's match is going to be last just now? Wasn't paying attention

oh the men's match is now...

The Rumble being this early has pretty much already turned this into a shit show. It's turning the Rumble match (and let's be honest, with as much "prestige" as it had left) into a (even bigger) joke. :'(

WOOOOOOOOOOO RUMBLE!

Reigns is winning. God fucking dammit.

Reigns is probably going to easily shatter Kane's total elimination record since he's already more than half-way to it and only been in 4 Rumbles.

Both

Really hate how Chris Benoit is never in these "By The Numbers" packages..... Always "4 people have won from #1 & #2 and only ever 3 people pictured" I wonder how many people notice that.....

I predict Nakamura wins!

Definitely

Given the lack of people announced for the men's Rumble, I figured Rollins, Jordan, Sheamus, and Cesaro would be in it to make up the numbers. But I guess that can be ruled out now.

Kicking off with the rumble Roman must be winning

HE'S THE BIG DOG!!!

RUSEV

RUSEV DAY!!! :D

Ppl like Rusev now?

WOO #RusevRumble!

Oh god I hope Aiden comes back out and sings again at #2

Rusev going to go bell to bell.

Rusevmania.

Clearly.

RUSEV DAY

Balor Club

God I wish I could get into this but this match being on now leaves me with a really bad feeling of how this and the rest of the show will go.

Oh well, hope I'm wrong. Now to crack open my next Sip of Sunshine.

It's against the law not to now since every day is Rusev Day. :shifty:

Why does Balor look like a more lame, more homeless version of CM Punk, who just happens to have nothing better to do than hit the gym, and you know, not eat... because he's homeless. I think Rusev would kill Balor, but so could X-Pac...

Looking good for my Tipsters for the longest lasting with Balor entering #2

Why is Finn Balor not in demon mode for the Rumble, it's the most important match of the year.

Same. About to start drinking, MORE heavily.

I still don't think Reigns is winning because he doesn't HAVE to to go to WrestleMania so WWE will go the "shock" route. But this happening in a less important spot on the show makes it seem like they could just say "Fuck it" and have him win it.

Balor looks like a giant pussy who any teenager could compete in a legit fight with. :lol:

here we go rhyno

He's not pissed off enough to invoke the DEMON or something.

Does not feel like 90 seconds between players

Rhyno? Why lol.

Haha, Corbin was more than halfway to the ring when the buzzer sounded

Rhyno is built like a bunker door.

H8 Corbin

No golf cart this year, big man gotta do what a big man gotta do.
