Do PPV's go straight up on network?
Wont be able to watch the Rumble live so wondering if I'll need to download it or it will be there waiting.

Yes, they do.
Just finishing on TLC (aka Braun and his truck), why was every single match bar the main event not a fucking TLC match? When did that shit change?
First time I had seen Asuka though and she's great.
What's your best WWE PPV that you have seen so far then Mahow?
On the network I mean...
Here's my rankings of the 2017 PPV's that I've seen:
1. Elimination Chamber, I feel that it's hard to go wrong with EC especially when the main event is good. I didn't care much for the handicap match with Apollo and Kalisto against Dolph but I enjoyed the rest.
2. Royal Rumble. The rumble itself was pretty meh but it had it's moments (Goldberg dispatching Brock quickly was fun) and the other matches (bar Neville/Swann) were all pretty damn good. Had the rumble been better with a more deserving winner it would be number 1.
3. TLC. I'm angry that there was only one TLC match (I'd have even been happy with special matches but they were all regular) and it was just strange. Balor and Styles was a really good match and I liked both women's matches (Asuka should have been given a better opponent though) but there were too many negatives. I didn't care for the tag match, I hated the Elias interludes and I hated seeing Enzo win. The handicap match was all types of mental though. I felt there were too many people (it's not a Rumble, lads), the Strowman 'incident' and Angle getting wiped out then coming back at the end with God mode enabled despite his brittle neck being taken to the very edge.
4. Money in the Bank. There was a bit too much shit in there (fuck off Jinder and the Breezango tag match, oh and Lana who whilst hot is not really a wrestler) and both Money in the banks had a shit ending. I feel that the women's one should have gone on for a bit longer but the main point was the ending. They're pushing for a women's 'REVOLUTION' and yet they have a male wrestler (James fucking Ellsworth at that) go and get the ladder? It didn't need controversy and if it did they could have done something better. As for the male's, Corbin just shouldn't have won. I was actually going to put it at third but the write up made me drop it, fuck the lone wolf.
Velveteen Dream was great again tonight, him and Black are the best things on NXT at the mo. With the possible exception of Big Damo and No Way Jose.
Literally just finished watching it. What a lad.
That drop kick was mental.
Kenny Omega v Jay White is the main event tonight.
My work chum was saying it was a great show so I'll need to get on that when I get home.Originally Posted by Disco
Dream v Ohno
Black v Cole
Moon v Basler
Almas v Gargano
All really really good, haven't seen the tag match though.
I'm watching it now as I heard good things.
Only seen the tag match thus far and it was really good although the ending wasn't great. I really like the look of Authors of Pain though, could do some good things on the main roster.
What time is the actual rumble starting? I'm thinking about staying up but if it's going to be last on at like 4am.
edit: and where's a good source for a stream?
Starts at midnight.
Best bet is to sign up for WWE Network.
You get a month free, two if you've never subscribed before.
Black v Cole
That was seriously good.
I did lol at the quick medical timeout in an extreme rules match to put a bandage on Cole's thumb so the blood wasn't visible.
Mauro was terrible during the fight though, he kept calling things wrong constantly.
Jesus, the main event was even better.
Pre-show (Roode v TBA for the US Championship, Gallows/Anderson v Dawson/Wilder and Kalisto/Dorado/Gran Metalik v TJ Perkins/Jack Gallagher/Drew Gulak) is live from 10pm btw.
I think I'll watch that then go to bed.
Gallows / Anderson vs. Revival will hopefully have the match they should have been allowed to have on Raw 25.
I think I'll watch the pre-show and squeeze some TakeOver in between before bed.
WWE title is opening the show? Okayyyy....
Yep, that's strange.
Owens and Zayn had me proper lolling there.
Are we confident that even WWE aren't stupid enough to have two Rumble matches back to back?
That's what is listed on Wiki.
Although they've been wrong throughout so far. They had Roode kicking off, this match and then the six man tag so only 1 right there. They also had the WWE Championship match after the two rumbles.
It looks a mess though as they have the two tag matches as the final two on the card. Surely the Universal will be last.
I'm hoping it's something like this:
WWE Championship match (how shit it's first, they should have kicked it off with a tag championship match)
A tag match
Female Rumble
Second tag match
Male Rumble
Universal Championship.
Might be better to have the two tag matches in between the rumbles actually so we get a bigger break.
The Wiki card is never in order. I think it's typically the order the matches are announced, but they put the pre-show stuff at the top (or bottom, whatever it is).
They won't do them both back to back. I wonder if the title is going on first to allow the loser(s) to enter the rumble.
Scott Dawson's facial hair is a fucking mess. Do it right or don't do it mate.
Rumble is 100% going to be the main event, How.
On that note, add Cena/ Rollins / Lesnar to your list if we didn't already suggest it. it's a great match even if it helped perfect Bork's favourite formula.
For some reason I thought they had done the Rumble as co-main event the last few years. Obviously it's going to be last so you can have the sign point to close.
"Co-main event" is not a thing. It's a WWE lie. Every show has one main event. No more, no less.
Also is Alundra Blayze drunk?
Please make sure you spoiler betting odds and rumours if you post them.
I reckon Blayze didn't know any women wrestlers so just rambled and rambled so she didn't have to answer.
Am I remembering things badly or has Kane been scoffing some cakes btw? I don't remember him being as fat as he is when I stopped watching, he seems to really stretch out his costume.
Yeah he's much bigger than he was even a few years ago.
Man are they hyping that shitty triple threat. I couldn't give a fuck about it. None of them are great and Lesnar is 1000% winning it anyway.
Both Renee and Phillips getting that video package wrong.... both going on about it being the first win for Austin (with Renee even mentioning 1997) and then the package is the 98 rumble.
Brock has the ability to be great, they just indulge his laziness. I genuinely hope that once Reigns mullers him he fucks off and doesn't bother his arse to come back.
MoJo fucking Rawley.
Start as you mean to go on. Odds of the only shock entrant in the Rumble being Kalisto just went up.
Mojo Rawley might be the person I'd have chosen if someone asked "who's the most boring person that could answer this challenge?".
Promoting the triple threat, that they just promoted, in the middle of this says it all.
I'm ready to be disappointedTurning on to Mojo Rawley is a great start.
"Did Roode get all of it however?"
3 count to no reaction....
Brilliant commentary.
I think we're going to have a new champion here
Oh, DDT!
About 5 seconds between the two statements.
That shitty, awkward looking tornado DDT was the finish?
It's comforting to see that WWE still can't book. At least we're in Philly so the crowd will just shit on the whole thing by chanting for ECW if the main card sucks.
I wonder who's getting pinned in that triple threat...
Still rolling out the Rumble history montages too then.
The last thing WWE shows need these days is more crowds making things about them.
Has Flair had a stroke?
The lisp is off the fucking charts.
Probably, but I'm assuming Philly is still the same as it always was, so I won't be surprised if it happens.
He nearly died fairly recently.
Ric Flair hasn't said an intelligible thing (for about a decade) the entire time he's been on.
Didn't he basically die a few months ago?
