I get if they wanna push martin as a singles competitor but he has joined with Jay lethal so that doesn't seem to be the case. I thought he could of been good in aew.

6666 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I know there's no prediction league but it's the Royal Rumble and the other big matches are decent as well. Edge & Phoenix v. Miz & Maryse Becky v. Doudrop (SD Women's) Reigns v. Rollins (Universal) Lesnar v.

If you're not a big deal, you can't complain about big names being ahead of you. That's how it works. There's not really any regulars in a position to do a lot with a Rumble win either in my opinion. Big E is one of the favourites and I can see him winning but I don't buy into him as a main eventer. McIntyre is another name but he's pretty bland. After that, it'd be a big surprise if anyone else wins. Maybe AJ Styles. The women's one is more open (if Rousey doesn't return). Can see it being Sasha Banks, Bianca Belair, Charlotte, Naomi, or Liv Morgan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just dont how to book them well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNORTHODOX Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I enjoyed it, It is the first WWE show I’ve seen in a while so maybe thats why. Highlights for me were Ronda’s return but her performance in the match was quite tame. Heyman leaving with Reigns again, Brock didn’t really need to win the rumble to get a shot at Reigns. Sorry about spoilers i don’t know how to hide posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I expect the wwe women are really pissed of. It's like what @6666 said wwe appeals to the mainstream. However I would imagine wwe has arguably the best womens division ever. To get someone in who isnt really a wrestler after she insulted all the fans and win the rumble must be so demoralising for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 An okay Rumble match but not up to the same level as 2020 (the last regular Royal Rumble). There weren't too many surprises either but Bad Bunny might've been the most over entrant. And Paul Heyman is out here thinking he's in some sort of polyamorous relationship.

Administrator Batard Posted January 30, 2022 Administrator Share Posted January 30, 2022 One botch that wasn't picked up was McCool was eliminated early by mistake. That said, the amount of eliminations that were not shown live is fucking poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason they stayed on the ring for an extra second or two when the countdown hit zero every time rather than going straight to showing the entrance.

Once they went away there was no need for the Right To Censor anymore. Having Ivory show up was funny to us old fans but when you have a fat Melina, Summer Rae looking 60 years old, brittle Alicia Fox and Kelly Kelly looking like a completely different person anybody under the age of 20 whose not a complete mark is going to be confused as to who all these old people are and why there is so many of them in this Royal Rumble.

Dave Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Some interesting news since the Royal Rumble... Shane McMahon has been 'quietly let go' allegedly due to his behaviour at the Royal Rumble. The rumours are he argued with Road Agents about putting himself over and upset quite a lot of people with his attitude. Brian Kendrick requested his release, he got it and then signed for AEW. Twitter Cancel Culture then woke up and dug up some pretty outrageous comments he made on 2011 regarding the holocaust, Haiti earthquake and some other mental stuff. Tony Khan then subsequently removed him. I don't really care about not seeing Shane McMahon again. He had his time with the Invasion Angle. Everything he's done since has been pretty poo. Him and Bad Bunny going over KO and Sheamus was absolutely cringeworthy. The Brian Kendrick stuff though, I think Tony Khan has set himself up for downfall here. If you pander to the self righteous Twitter crowd they know they've got you and will claim faux outrage at every turn. The hypocrisy given the actions and comments of Mike Tyson, Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Justin Roberts and Nyla Rose (some historic and some recent) is there for all to see. We probably will not see The Briscoes now even though they've apologised relentlessly for historical comments and since changed there beliefs.

Guest Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 @The Palace Fan I'm a couple of weeks behind. Good to see moxley back. He looks a lot better. One thing that is annoying me a bit is brit baker teaming with adam cole. I hope she doesn't just become Adam Coles girlfriend if you get what I mean. She needs to be recognized on her own.
