That Taker entrance is just sad.
LA Knight has a not dissimilar problem to Wyatt in that he's a great promo (only that unlike Wyatt he doesn't need an editor) but you do eventually have to watch him wrestle, which... Eh.
Come on Ian. He’s hardly Ricky Steamboat in the ring I agree but he’s light years ahead of Wyatt.
Just watched Hayter vs. Sakura from Rampage. I think Hayter is outstanding so I was looking forward to this. It descended a bit into Japanese epic for the sake of it and Hayter is in that weird spot where the crowd have turned her full babyface but she’s still working heel. Still a good match and a good indicator of how much better the women’s division is overall with someone like Hayter on top. Not her best work but we won’t see her involved in any stinkers like past champions.
I didn't say he wasn't. But he's still an entirely generic worker.Quote:

But this Saturday you get to watch him wrestle in the dark so you wont be able to actually see what he's doing.
Win win, right?
The benefit of being six hours ahead, I’ll not watch it live, so I can skip right past that shit (and plenty of other).
What if the fight was 100% promo? Psychological warfare.
Absolutely. Though I'll probably watch everything else unspoiled but I'll be reading the reviews for the MOUNTAIN DOO Pitch Black match before I even consider it.Quote:

Yeah I’ll skip that. Bianca is great but Bliss is just daft, especially in this Wyatt role.
Apparently Dragon Lee might be in the Rumble and as far as flippy shit wrestling goes, he’s top of that tree.
I wonder if they'll have the Great Muta in as part of the agreement with NOAH. That'd be great.
I never even thought of that. Yes please.
Although Muta bumping over the top rope might be risky.
Do we think it's an actual zero chance that Big E has made a Cena-esque miracle recovery and makes the Rumble? Not that I'm sure you'd have him in it if he wasn't winning, which he wouldn't be, but imagine that pop.
If Kingston and Woods are both in the ring, it might just happen.
Man, it’s just great when they only announce half the participants. There was a proper wank one a few years ago where they pre-announced about 28.
In before there’s no actual surprises apart from X-Pac.
I highly doubt it. Big E was saying a while back that he's due more scans in March (the one year mark) to see how it's healing.

Tonight is Sami’s night :cool:
KO walking in with a Sami Zayn forever shirt :cool:
Starting the show with the men’s RR? Huh?
Cody Rhodes win then.
McAfee :cool:
Gotta be the first time it's opened with the mens, surely?
Presume so. Can’t believe it’s on before the women’s :D
Kross getting bumped out early :drool:
The real swerve would be Kofi Kingston just getting eliminated normally.
Lashley :cool:
This has been great so far
Angry Brock is amazing.
Otis is the best
His thiccness is now off the scale.
Michael Cole calling Dom (who absolutely took Rey out) a piece of shit is great.
Bookah :cool:
No idea why they bother with pointless tag team people being in these
Poor Booker, his real enemy was that long walk to the ring.
Balor:lol:
Fucking Logan Paul.
Nobody replacing Rey?
Please let Logan win
This seems strange.Quote:

Hate Logan all you want but he's a dream heel
Oh he's a cracking natural heel and he's got incredible talent.Quote:

Big fan of that Rumble match.
Only real negative I have is the whole Rey thing.
Pretty much this. Huge fan of it starting the show though in a selfish way.Quote:

I like that they let WALTER look great before getting him dumped out. Logan Paul also irritatingly good at the rasslin'
Sami doesn't need the Rumble though.
He can cross Reigns at the end tonight (I imagine it closes) and gets his Mania match that way.
Sami would have made no sense.
