Lita had the #timesup thing about sexual assault on her gear, then also Moolah's name on her forearm.

Was honestly expecting more NXT women to pad the numbers instead of old stars.

Was great to see Molly Holly, though. Everyone else's impact was slightly lessened by "oh, I just saw them on RAW"

Yeah, would have preferred Cross, Peyton and Billie over Kelly, Torrie, and McCool, since the latter represented the piss break era.

If they're gung ho on keeping the match at 30, I'm thinking there will be more of an NXT contingent next year rather than just trotting out the same returnees.

That or they'll dip into the Mae Young Classic pool and bring in people like Toni Storm and Piper Niven who even if unsigned will probably get a good pop from the smark-heavy crowd that knows who they are.

The next three Rumbles will look a lot like this one did I'm sure, for the women.

Really good show from WWE.

I'd say the men's Rumble was MOTN. Really fun match, great final four finish.

Women did a good job, some of them were horrible (Kelly Kelly and Mrs. Taker) and I actually thought they may go with Trish to win it at one point. Auska killed it, shes a star. Really cool to have two Japanese Rumble winners as well.

Were Sheamus, Cesaro, and Rollins the first people to ever be in a Rumble and then wrestle again later in the card? They have to be, right? It's normally always closed and on the rare occasion it hasn't it's been followed by a World Title match or something.

Wasn't a big deal or anything, it was just the weirdest part of the show for me. That tag match was doomed going after the emotional high of that Rumble and the crowd didn't even make a peep for Rollins' entrance since they'd only just seen him.

If I had my druthers I'd have kept them out of the Rumble and put in Cedric Alexander (who got shafted out of a payday thanks to Enzo), Zack Ryder (who would be attacked and replaced by Owens), and Curt Hawkins (to take the Sheamus comedy elimination spot, because of course).

I think we need a new gesture, like pelvic thrusting towards a sign, or grabbing a balloon that has Wrestlemania, or pointing to Michael Cole's ass that has WRESTLEMANIA tattooed on it.

Bringing in unknowns comes with the expectation of following up with that talent...theres a commitment there and the roster space is so damn small...

In the moment I was kinda annoyed at McCool getting to eliminate so many people and chalked it up to her getting to do it because she's Mrs. Taker.

But thinking about it, she's 5'10" which made her one of the tallest women in the match and therefore one of the few people who could get people over the top rope relatively easily.

At least it wasn't Nikki Bella.

Anyone notice Sasha Banks horrible "kicks"?

She did it once against Lita where she was "kicking" her, but with no force and you could see as plain as day she was just slightly kicking the air several inches in front of her. Sasha did it again later on vs someone else. Dunno who.

Becky's suplexes looked terrible near the end of her run too.

I think conditioning was definitely an issue as even the Sashas and Beckys rarely wrestle more than 10-15 minutes at a clip. It's understandable but I still think they should've stayed in the ring and just sold in the corner like the men do.

By the end of it seemed like she was basically throwing them around herself, rather than over. Might've been a bit gassed.

Listening to a podcast. Besides the host almost all the callers are hating on the Royal Rumble.

I think everyone always hypes up the Rumble, when usually it's a match with barely anything happening for huge spots and they don't normally book anything in the early sections.

They did better this year than they have in many years, so I'm OK with that.

My biggest complaint was that not every entrant got to hit Heath Slater. He should have stayed after being eliminated.

Yeah, this Rumble didn't feel like it had that many dead spots. Some of the early intervals were clocking in at < 90 seconds so they sped it along at the spot where it made sense to.

Probably the most I enjoyed a Rumble upon first viewing since 2010. That Rumble felt like the SVR games where you could never have more than 6 people in the ring, but stuff was constantly happening and it didn't ever really feel like a slog.

Sounds like a single person and not a community.

I would have enjoyed the boos too, but what we got was better.

What does the IWC want? Probably Reigns not getting the moon push and main eventing WM. But since we know that is the plan, the IWC would probably have preferred him going over at the Rumble for that huge reaction since we know he's going to win the elimination chamber now and it won't have near the entertaining impact. Just a guess.

Lesnar not having enough dates will do it. Guess that'll be a Summerslam match or something.

Since they've allegedly been building to Roman/Brock for a year, you would have though they'd have put some thought into major challengers. Realistically, you've only got Braun, Brock and Miz and one of them he's had a long feud with already so won't want to burn early and one is part-time. Miz probably can get enough juice out of it for a couple of months, but who's the next Raw built up heel?

I'd guess Joe, not sure how long he's out for though.

It's the WWE, that's how.

I have this sinking feeling they may try to force another triple threat by adding Strowman to Lesnar v Reigns. Unfortunately. I see the WWE logic being along the lines of "Strowman being in this match will make the crowd happier!" Even though Roman winning will crush all of that and probably make it much much worse. And after that stinker of a triple threat last night I am not at all enthused about the prospect of another one.

What would they even do with Lesnar v Strowman at EC? Strowman going over would be the only possible way to make that go over well because Lesnar winning would be yet another blow to their most popular main event act atm and pointless in the grand scheme of things. And do you really put Strowman over Lesnar to then job him to Reigns? That's a short term fix to the larger issue and that isn't going to go over well; that's going to get more boos than Reigns over Lesnar will by a long shot. The only way they could get maximum joy from the fan base is to put Strowman over Lesnar and then over Reigns; and the likelihood of that happening is almost absolute zero. No way the WWE will strike while the iron is hot.

It feels like theyve dropped that though. The finish last night calls for a singles. So either the fork out some cash for an extra date at fastlane or theyre building to a mania match...


...or they just move on like theres nothing to see here.

If it's #1 contender in the chamber match, they probably won't do it then as I assume Braun will be in that.

But hey, I'd watch if they forked out the money for Brock and just had him and Braun stiff the shit out of each other some more. No interest in watching a PPV headlined by Roman going to Mania via the chamber as has been the rumour for about 6 months now. But that, sure.

Best case scenario for Mania (for me at this point)is Brock vs Strowman and Reigns vs Miz.

I put the over/under on that actually occurring at not ever gonna happen.

Dolph's appearance was absolutely hilarious. Vacates the US title without explanation, randomly shows back up in the Rumble and does nothing.

I wanted him to reprise his gimmick of mimicking other wrestlers' entrances and have him enter to Cult of Personality. Think Philly would've even cheered Reigns or Cena throwing him out at that point.

It does lead me to think that he was planned to win it at one point. It all makes sense.

Then someone went "Oh, you meant that guy winning... No"

I honestly think Dolph's entire WWE career is a rib on Dolph at this point.

Even the commentary at that point was just Michael Cole saying, "didn't he retire or something?" Nobody gives a shit.

Apparently nearly half of the people who have drawn #1 or #2 throughout history have made it past the final entrant throughout Rumble history.

I mean I get it, but it kinda kills the talking point that it's some crazy huge disadvantage to get those spots.
