Men's Rumble was great. Womens was...meh. Ronda was...awkward kinda. Rest of the card was too.
I was here for the Rumbles so I'd say solid show. Not that excited for WM season but I'll give it a shot. |

Would rather her first loss be in a 1-on-1 match and not a rumble.

Oh I'm all in on Styles/Nakamura at Mania.
Decent chance that and Asuka's match are the only things I'm gonna pay any real attention to...but sadly enough that's already an improvement on last year's Mania where I went into it caring about one match. |

I enjoyed the womens rumble the most by far. Sascha is a real pro and Trish was aces.

I could see there being three women's matches at Mania.
Asuka vs. Alexa Charlotte and Becky vs. Rousey and Baszler Bayley vs. heel Banks But we'll see. |

Rousey v bliss -15 second squash via arm bar
Charlotte v asuka - asuka wins Multi women match. Moolah battle royal. I dunno. Something that gets everyone on the card. Banks wins |

Oh. Well that's one downside to Reigns not winning the Rumble. Elimination Chamber winner is pretty much a given.

Enjoyed both Rumbles.
Only thing I really hated was how the women kept rolling out of the ring and chilling on the outside. I literally kept having to ask and wonder if people were still in the match or not. I don't know why they couldn't just book it like the men and just have them all laying around the mat in the ring. Part of a Rumble's charm is seeing the ring full of people. |

Rumbles were pretty good, Men's was pretty much what I expected, nice surprise with Rey & Hurricane and giving a couple NXT stars a chance to shine. Women's rumble was pretty good too, could have gone without all the stalling and resting at ringside though, it was hard to keep track of who was still around and not eliminated. Also would have had a bit bigger impact if most of the "surprises" had not appeared to Raw the previous Monday.....
Also wasn't a huge fan of women's rumble going on last, I get why they did it, but it seemed like it would have done better if it opened the show and benefited from a super hot crowd, no doubt in my mind the crowd would have been much hotter for the returns and Rousey's appearance afterwards. |

Thought the women’s Rumble was overall better than the men’s Rumble

The crowd I was with HATED the Men's Rumble. I am glad that Nakamura won, and the Heath Slater bit was awesome. You can tell they are trying to have Sheamus do as little as possible. I don't get the pancakes thing with the New Day.
The Women's Rumble had a lot of rolling out and what not, the Men's Rumble had a lot of guys laying in the ring and doing nothing, which pisses me off even more. |

I was one of Rey's biggest detractors towards the end of his WWE run. Looked a lot slower than he used to. Generally looked like he didn't care, and was just going through the motions, putting in formulaic matches.
He looked fucking amazing here. I mean, just looking at him, you could tell he was in amazing shape, but his speed was faster than I remember seeing him since early into his original WWE run. Really hope this isn't a one off and he's back for good, because as great as he looked, there are some amazing dream matches we could get with the current roster. |

Dunno, if he can work out a deal where he gets a lighter schedule, I could see him keeping up. Pays it back by putting over new stars.

Those dates all fall on Thursdays though, so he could get a plane back and forth between the US and UK if he really wanted to.

I also forgot to say earlier in the thread, how impressive is Ember Moon? Based on that little sample of work I am excited to see her on the main roster sometime soon.

Maybe next year they can reduce this women's "rumble" match to 20 participants and actually keep them in the fucking ring as opposed to people vanishing for upto 10 minutes only to reappear after they had taken their breather. Constantly wondering if "x" person was eliminated because of that shit was the running theme.

Numbers didn't no, but having to bring in a load of people who hadn't done anything in wwe in years to pad out the numbers was a dumb decision. Its ok doing fan service but there was a lot more than expected getting trotted out to this match. A 20 person battle royal would have been a better way to go imo, less part time brigade and more emphasis on the current roster.

Won $270 in our Rumble lottery for Nakamura winning. Didn't do one for the Women's Rumble since we weren't sure who all was going to be in it. Maybe next year.

Given that they were trying to put over the "HISTORIC" aspect of the women's Rumble, having all of those returnees in there made sense to me, even if it was slightly underwhelming considering how many of them made cameos on Raw 25.
For future years though, it's gonna be tough to fill 30 spots I think. |

A lot more fun than a lot of recent Rumbles. Not sure why they decided to do the weird awkward silent ending. But hey.

From what I saw, I'd give the show an A. Esp for WWE standards.
In saying that, Steph was horrific on commentary. |
