Jimmy Jacobs apparently wanted out of WWE for a while before the BC incident.

The first emma/asuka match in nxt was much better than the tlc one today.

Decent ppv overall. None of the matches truly stood out to me.
 
It was just a one off match, because IRS, Jr. got a virus (as did Roman Reigns, which is why Kurt Angle subbed in).

I know, but it’s weird that they chose someone from SD to face Finn, instead of getting someone from Raw , that’s what surprised me
 
Anyone watch the Royal Rumble last night?

Not a great one, but there were some really good moments, like Mysterio coming back and Adam Cole being involved. There were rumors that Daniel Bryan might have been cleared to participate, which would have blown the roof off the place, but it wasn't to be. Hurricane Helms was a nice surprise, shame it just as a gimmick to give Cena a few seconds to be the center of attention. Which was strange to compare to the women's match, where the old timers threw out lots of current wrestlers.

Nice that good Japanese wrestlers won both matches. But I would have preferred Daniel Bryan and Trish Stratus winning.

NXT Takeover put that PPV to shame overall. The opening tag match was unbelievable, in terms of the psychology and the execution. It was very original, and looked almost like a shoot at times, compared with the overly scripted and artificial feeling from some of the Rumble stuff, sadly including the Styles vs. Owens/Zayn match. The Cole/Black match was also really well done, and the main event with Almas and Gargano was fantastic.
 
I literally just started watching Raw and Smackdown again, beginning with last week's episodes.

I don't have the WWE Network, so I missed RR, but I heard it was a little meh. It's hard for me to comment further since I'm so out of the loop, but looking forward to watching again weekly.
 
RR was fine. Male RR was okay. Femal RR was very good overall. Trish Stratus winning it makes no sense unless she eas planning a comeback and even then...

WWE has about a 1% chance of clearing daniel bryan ever again. Him winning it makes as much sense as shane mcmahon winning it.

Gargano vs Almas was incredible.
 
Mysterio looks great! I'm glad he ditched the baggy pants, and went back to his WCW tights. He always reminded me of Spider-Man.

Hurricane's gimmick might be more relevant today then ever before. :lol

AJ vs Nakamura should be a good match, but I doubt it'll bring an audience.

Ronda...meh, I don't care much for women's wrestling.

WWE still lacks a top guy to replace Cena.
 
Was Cena ever a top guy with other than toddlers?

LOVED Brock's left hand to Strawman, jesus f christ. "Little *****", lol.
 
Was Cena ever a top guy with other than toddlers?

Cena might be the most mediocre yet consistent top guy in WWE history :lol

Over 10 years, never got over completely no matter how hard WWE tried, never took the WWE to new levels of popularity, WWE lost millions of viewers, but he always had a small, consistent, and devoted fanbase that bought his merchandise. He's no Hogan, Austin or Rock, that's a fact.

Now WWE is doing the same with the most boring wrestler I've ever seen, Roman Reigns :dunno

I don't blame them, who else is there to be a top guy? Rollins? Owens? :lol AJ Styles is 40 and not charismatic or entertaining enough to transcend.
 
She looks so awkward here. Mega cringe.



If you watch her YouTube interview after, you will see that she said she was really nervous and anxious because it was a big deal to her and also she wanted to make Piper’s kid proud because Roddy was her idol. She was really worried she might botch her appearance and what they wanted her to do :lecture

It was Steph’s idea all along to not have Rousey not compete in the rumble, because if Ronda got accidentally eliminated it would’ve ruined her debut. There was an article about that too. They wanted Rousey’s debut to be a surprise and make an impact. I believe Asuka, Bliss and Charlotte knew about Rousey coming, but they didn’t know when :lecture

So what is man face going to do, be a rassler or a bimbo that walks out with someone else?

Rassler. This is what she wanted to do from now on. She signed up to be a WWE superstar. So Ronda fans, she’s not another Brock. The question is how they will utilize her, but she wants to be full time
