    Not sure about that winner but it's right to not have Cena win it, his whole thing should be chasing that final title target than do it first go and then just retire in a 5 minute match with Baron Corbin or whatever.

    Yeah I feel Cena will have to be shown to work hard to get it.

    Jey Uso though? That's just flatlined night 1s main event for me. I don't get it.

    Some notes from my watch:

    KO is a madman but also deserves better than he's getting. That finishing spot, yikes.

    Crowd seemed either a bit shit, or had crap audio on them because it didn't sound amazing. I don't think the trimmed down entrance set helps here. Make it huge so they can see who is coming out when their generic shit music hits.

    Paul really needs to get this fixation of titles only changing hands at Mania weekends out of his head. It's making everything way too predictable.

    Quite a crap rumble imo. Quite sloppy in a lot of places and I didnt care much about the tag match so there wasn't really much to see. Everyone knew the womens winner well in advance, save for a potential late save from a returner, but when you waste your 30 spots on Nikki fucking Bella and Logan fucking Paul...

    It's The Rick pushing his family. As for the long reigns, they're too predictable. From a TV perspective, it does cement Mania as a season finale.

    Joe Hendry getting a bigger pop than John Cena.

    Rollins’ double footed stomp on Reigns’ head was brutal

    Have to admit they got me with the final two, just as I was despairing that it made the winner too obvious it didn't happen. I like the idea of a mild surprise, but not necessarily who they picked.

    The Reigns, Punk, Rollins thing was really well done and I thought the perfect way to clear the ring for Cena and not have him dump the current top guys.

    Gunther has a hell of a job on his hands.

    I’m obviously pissed because Don Cena winning would have been hype but I genuinely thought the match itself was really good. A lot of nice story telling and good moments. Even the celebrity nonsense was fine because that spear on him was fucking superb. And I guess you can’t moan about it all being predictable and then something like that happens…but Jey Uso. We’ve seen the match so often already and you just cannot carry him to a good singles match. Not like the build up will be good either

    No idea where they’re going with any of this. Can’t see Cena winning the EC as he’s not going to fight Rhodes surely.

    Punk vs Rhodes
    Gunther vs Uso

    Women's match was great up until Michin at #20. It wasn't her fault it went tits up but she looked really lost and the sloppiness from everyone ramped up from there. The final four was pathetic. TKO are really transforming the women's division though. Even right up until a year or so ago we had the five or six big names and the rest was awful filler. Now the majority of them look like genuine stars.

    Men's match was structured better. Ignoring the winner, it was booked really well throughout. Breakker's entrance spear was sensational.

    Gunther vs Uso feels too much like a Raw match to fit the status, but if they're going for Reigns vs Rollins I'm well in to that. They've already got 10 years worth of story ready for the hype.

    There's some story about McIntyre throwing a wobbly because his elimination wasn't planned or something which I'm assuming is all an intentional part of whatever's happening next with him, particularly as 'Drew McIntyre Eliminated' flashed up immediately on screen.

    Also, regarding Breakker he has the best spear in the game by miles.

    The one when he entered, the one one on that Speed twat (what a waste of a spot) and the one on Roman were all superb.

    Women's rumble was a bit shit but I think they did well with NXT lasses (what a division that is) and it was nice to see them continue the Bayley/Giulia/Roxanne Perez stuff.

    Tag match was predictably shit.

    And KO is a fucking madman for those bumps, especially the Alabama Slam. Fucking hell.

    Oh and the first Rollins stomp to Reigns was fucking class.

    I enjoyed the tag match, but it would definitely fit much more as the highlight of an NXT Takeover then a snack break at a Royal Rumble.

    Making it 2 out of 3 falls didn't help too.

    Everyone knows it's going to 1-1 so you only bother really paying attention in the final few minutes.

    Hey guys don’t be so down, if we add up all the Jey Uso v Gunther matches together then that’s a 4.75 star match!

    I think this current Rumble production format blows. I swear old rumbles weren’t just *horn* 2 guys do a 1v1 spot roll to the side *horn*

    However my biggest criticism as it has been for many rumbles is the highlighting of how bland the themes are. Across the men’s and women’s I had to wait until their name came up on the tron or they showed up on camera to know who it was.

    Makes sense though. He's not in the EC so it explains his absence until Rollins is fully heel and needs slapping. The three way feud with Punk will be immense.

    Although he did take all of that stomp on the floor so he's probably concussed too.

    Makes sense, after the two stomps. Especially the double footed one.

    Also, when will the plebs in the crowd realise Jey is shit and all he has going for him is a wank one word catchphrase?

    Of course it makes sense why he’s out but the whole reason it was done was to write him off tv for another 2 months for no reason

    Been watching some random old stuff and someone popped up that I'd forgot about in an angle that I never knew existed because I'd stopped watching by then.

    Remember Heidenreich? The massive German Nazi fucker that read poetry and had an implied rape scene with Michael Cole? They put him in the Legion of Doom?

    Yep lol. It was after Hawk died so they put any old stiff in there to profit off the legacy. It went as well as you'd expect.

    As someone who thought Toni Storms arrival into AEW was the definition of mid, her last year has been truly incredible.

    Timeless Toni Storm is easily the best thing the company has done since the All In nonsense. Ospreay is the only thing that comes close but he's already being booked like just another guy.

    On a totally unrelated note, surely it's not long before WWE sign Joe Hendry. I know he's just become TNA Champion but he's on par with Cena for YouTube views from the Rumble.

    I think he’ll fail miserably if on WWE full time. Only popular ‘coz of his theme song

    If only they had another guy who was only popular for a song or catchphrase. I bet they'd even book him to win the rumble.

    I don’t like him but let’s not pretend he hasn’t been an absolutely brilliant tag team wrestler and a huge part of the best storyline in years. He was already over without ‘YEET’ and whatever the fuck that dance is

    Jey Uso's promo on Monday after winning was great, lot of the Daniel Bryan genuineness about him that people can easily latch onto, not sure how much I want to see him wrestle but I think it's nice to have something new tried. Now set 2025 up to have it be Bron Breakker next year.

    AOP, Paul Ellering, Cedric Alexander, Sonya Deville (contract expiring in a month and Blair Davenport released.

    Bit surprised by the two women as Sonya was leader of a faction and Davenport was seriously good on NXT but just never got her chance on the main roster due to injuries.

    Gallows and Anderson as well, I was sure they'd already gone as I don't remember seeing them in ages? Cedric Alexander I like a lot, surely Tony Khan's already planning to get the lads back together as soon as his 90 days is up.

    Gallows and Anderson were fired by Vince I think.

    They came back, did some shit on SD and then went to NXT.

    In NXT they were horseshit as they always are and hadn't wrestled in a while there anyway as I think one of them got injured.

    Isla Dawn and Giovanni Vinci also released.

    Isla Dawn was class in NXT UK and seemed to be doing alright with Kay Lee Ray/Alba Fyre in a tag team, hopefully Alba gets some singles love now.

    Vinci was weird as they wrote him out of Imperium then repackaged him and gave him a lot of hype vignettes. Then he lost twice to Apollo Crews really quickly and then wasn't seen again I believe.

    I think the Gallows brothers are awful but they almost deserve a lifelong paycheque just for their contribution to wrestling history. Without them we wouldn’t have a match so bad that Inoki had to came out of Gorilla and smash the place up until they did the go home.

    Instead of signing all the people who wouldn’t do a job in AEW they should give 8 bajillion dollars to Harley Cameron. Just a truly multi talented personality that can actually wrestle.

    Think her match with Sasha will go off.
