WWE: WWE PPV Thread: Up Now - THE ROYAL RUMBLE (with no fans)

[BKIslandersFan]

This is surreal. How long did Edge retire for, before coming back? Crazy.

I have no problem with Edge winning though. Good for him.

 

[DaaaaB's]

OMFG

YES

THAT WAS WELL WRITTEN

Kind of predictable tho. I knew as soon as Orton left injured that it would be him and Edge at the end. Just wasn't sure which one would win.

Edge pulling a HBK and Orton pulling a very delayed Bulldog

Orton pulled the HBK. It just didn't work.

Roman/Edge WRESTLEMANIA. LET'S GO

nah its db and reigns still at wrestlemania i think man

 

[bobholly39]

Every single wrestler EXCEPT for Braun is great in this ring. Please eliminate Braun immediately

Im not usually a big fan of Braun but he looked absolutely fantastic imo.

I could get behind a main event push booking him as an unstoppable badass face

McMahon and Jean-Paul are still not addressing the problems they have faced for years. When they are in the position where they feel they have to rely on bringing back the old guard to sell PPV's it is a clear indicator their model is failing. Sometimes you need to bite the bullet and realize your story is crap and start over instead of staying the course with their overproduced and scripted nonsense.

A rather blase PPV. I can see why ratings are cratering.

I did win $13 in Rumble props.

I've read that Vince hasn't been around for a while and wasn't around last night, it sounds like he's dealing with the death of his brother.

Last night was oldest men’s rumble in history breaking a record set last year. Only 2 men were under age 30, one of which just turned 29

Anyone see the WWE Icons: Yokozuna special yet?

Off of the top of my head... I'm trying to guess who was under 30.
- Young Mysterio had to be the youngest.

- And the 29 year old was........holy crap I don't even know. I'll randomly say Otis? f***ing eh. I have no f***ing clue.

Carlito coming back was pretty cool

Christian looked good- is he allowed to bump now or something??

That’s such a bad thing for the company. They have litreally no young stars; they need a hard pivot to building some stars

Especially when you consider that back in the day, Vince was done with guys once they turned 40.

Now he’s desperate for guys in around age 50 to draw half as much as they did 20 years ago.

He had to have been cleared to do what he did.

There was always Bad Bunny and Omos

 

[GKJ]

Vince was not at the PPV, Adam Pearce is getting credit for putting most of the men's Rumble together, not sure about the women.

 

[KCC]

That explains how cliche and predictable it was then. That said, I’m fine with Vince calling the shot to have edge win.
