NXT is in good hands with Aleister Black, Adam Cole (BAY BAY), and Velveteen Dream. Even Andrade impressed me last night.

2nd best PPV (IMO) tonight with the Rumble.

 

[shadyridr]

What's the runtime for tonight's rumble?

6pm-10pm. US Title open challenge match on the pre-show which starts at 4. (times are Central)

2nd best PPV (IMO) tonight with the Rumble.

Rumble day tradition - time to watch about 4 or 5 previous Rumble matches, one of which has to be '92.

Watched the 1988 one last night with Prichard and Conrad on alternative commentary with their podcast. Good stuff.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Sounds like Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar may be happening soon.

This women's rumble is going to be such a cluster. These girls have their hopes up so much. It's just going to expose them. I just imagine #30........

....Stephanie's annoying theme hits.  And your winner of the 2018 Royal Rumble.......

Fitting end to this momentous event. So terrible I could see it happening tonight and somehow with their nonexistent storylines leads to her and Rousey squaring off at Mania.  

 

[shadyridr]

I'd be stunned if Asuka doesn't win. 

 

[modogg]

Real nice "F'ck Tom Brady" chant by the entire crowd

 

[Tom Servo]

I'd be stunned if Asuka doesn't win. 

Be prepared to be stunned, then.

 

[Bogart]

Entertaining Rumble match so far. 

 

[Hoos First]

Awful

 

[shadyridr]

Wonderful network error the moment before shinske eliminated Roman

 

[Courtjester]

That was a good match!!! There were a couple wasted spots in my opinion.

pity the next match because he crowd is spent already

 

[Mr.Pack]

Who won the Rumble?

 

[shadyridr]

It's gotta be embarrassing for the wwe that two of their flagship in cena and Roman get booed so much

 

[shadyridr]

Who won the Rumble?

Nakamura eliminated reigns

 

[Mr.Pack]

Who won the Rumble?

Haha, ESPN just sent out an update on who won....lol

A reaction is a reaction. What you don't want is silence. And most kids I know love both of those guys and spend their parents money on their merchandise, so I don't think anyone is embarrassed. 

And I think Cena boos at this point are ironic at best.

 

[Dope]

nakamura vs styles at WM

 

[Tony Jabroni]

nakamura vs styles at WM

Yep, and it still sets up Reigns/Lesnar.

"Absolutely Perfect"

omega vs reigns

My son loves reigns. Was upset when he lost. He doesn't care about the boos. Still awkward to watch.

I agree it's awkward. What makes it worst, is while Cena knows how to play it, Reigns still doesn't.

 

[Bogart]

omega vs reigns

Omega is going to be pretty busy outside of WWE this year, maybe WM 2019.

 

[Dope]

any y'all think the womens rumble is gonna be great? i think it is.

 

[Courtjester]

They are going to do the woman’s RR last? 

 

[Dope]

that lesnar right was STIFFFFFFFF

 

[Tony Jabroni]

Did anyone just see Lesnar legit punch Braun? Braun went down in a heap. 

 

[Bogart]

Totally digging the Woman's RR match going on last. I think it's going to be great and have many more of the "surprise pops" than the Men's RR match had.

 

[Balco]

I haven’t seen a royal rumble in years but that was horrendous. 

 

[coyote5]

Why?  That is no surprise to anyone that follows WWE or the people that booked it.  WWE knew that was going to be the reaction and that's the reason it was Nakamura and those two at the end.

 

[shadyridr]

Lesnar match was fun but very anticlimactic ending

 

[coyote5]

And really, that was one of the best Rumble matches in recent memory.  

 

[Dope]

Lesnar match was fun but very anticlimactic ending

agreed.

Braun is getting really good.

 

[Bogart]

Surprised to see Steph on commentary. Man she still looks hot. Those midnight workouts are doing wonders.

 

[shadyridr]

Lita was awesome

 

[Tony Jabroni]

Look at that ### on Liv Morgan!

 

[shadyridr]

So what's the appeal with Rusev? I don't get it

 

[Tony Jabroni]

So what's the appeal with Rusev? I don't get it

He's ####### awesome.

 

[Dope]

thanks cameraman for sticking with that kelly kelly shot for an extra 6 seconds

 

[shadyridr]

My god Nikki Bella is unreal

 

[Dope]

trish looks even more amazing

 

[Tony Jabroni]

This is highly entertaining.

 

[Hoos First]

Corey Graves is killing it.

 

[Dope]

Corey Graves is killing it.

yeah...at one point he said something like "the bellas, and sasha are all going down on trish"

something like that. awesome

 

[Dope]

This is highly entertaining.

that was really good.

 

[facook]

Personally I really enjoyed Vince's offering to make 90% of these women not out him for secsual harassment.

 

[Gawain]

That was a great match.

 

[Bogart]

That was a lot of fun. Beat the men's Rumble match, no doubt.

 

[shadyridr]

Be prepared to be stunned, then.

Stunning
