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

[JackSlater]

Just have Undertaker running a gauntlet vs a bunch of people. Wyatt, Kane, Michaels, Triple H, Gangrel, Phantasio, Stone Cold..

If Aleister Black is ever going to get a push, it will take place at WWE Boneyard - mark my words.

 

[Sharks2020]

That main event was one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.

 

[ColePens]

Sports/wrestling is all about escapism from the real world. That campy finale gave me that nice little break I needed. More of that - for sure.

 

[End of Line]

Half over and it’s already better than Wrestlemania 27, 28, 32, and 35

 

[K Fleur]

Can see the opening segment tomorrow.

Stephanie on the mic:

“Thanks to you, the WWE Universe, we have set a new attendance record for this building with 0 fans!”

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Undertaker's obviously been planning for something like this for a long time. Would be surprised if Jeremy Borash didn't do a lot of heavy lifting on production. Show overall was better than it could've been.

Its still weird to think that Borash works for WWE now.

I enjoyed the first night. Loved the ladder match, Rollins/Owens and the spectacular Boneyard match.

Becky/Shayna was awful. It basically was the same length as Corbin/Elias. I thought it would be a brawl and it was more like a wimper. Very disappointing.

The Boneyard match was better than most movies I have watched. I was enthralled throughout. From the beginning with Styles coming out of the casket to very end. I thought maybe the Deadman persona would be behind Styles when he was on the tractor but it was still so well done. Great job by everyone involved.

I was pleasantly entertained and hopefully the second night will do the same.

I do like that it didn't drag on. I personally would like to see them do two nights for WM.

My only real complaint was that Bryan and Sami was way shorter than I would've liked. They could've just had this go until 10:10-10:15 (or hell, make it go to 11 with another hour of Undertaker vs AJ).

Agreed. It was a fantastic slow start to a match with Sami being great. Another 10 or even 15 minutes would have been great.

I wouldn't have minded the women getting 5 more minutes either.

After seeing the Boneyard Match I believe Jeremy Borash should be the head of WWE Creative

 

[Kaner9]

Inject Boneyard match into my veins. So weird but delicious. The ladder match was amazing too love seeing Kofi and Johnny ___ put in work t what they do best.

 

[The Gongshow]

While I enjoyed the Boneyard match for just being bat shit crazy, I do wish Styles would have won. Then whenever the next Big 4 PPV is when they are allowed to run events again have AJ vs Deadman Taker.

That said, if they decide to make a few more American Bad Ass taker vs people in boneyard matches (if they remain this good) then I'm all for that too.

The first night was in my estimation certainly not a good show, but given the circumstance I'd say it was about average of what you might expect. It's still unfortunate that there are two nights. I doubt that anything tonight can approach the spectacle of the boneyard match however.

 

[ColePens]

The biggest underrated spot of last night was AJ's acting/selling/performance. From how he crawled through the dirt to literally everything. "How? I buried you!" Dude was selling and acting like a CHAMP. Better than Taker.

 

[End of Line]

Got some Crown Rye and just going to enjoy tonight.

 

[Natey]

Liv isn't bad. But I hate that she went from a unique look that could have been a cool character to the basic look she has now.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

I don't like seeing commercials on a service I paid $10 for this month.

 

[Le Tricolore]

I don't like seeing commercials on a service I paid $10 for this month.

I'd rather the occasional commercial than a more expensive price

 

[End of Line]

I’ll be honest this will be the first time seeing Ripley perform.

 

[ColePens]

Ripley looks like a star

 

[Le Tricolore]

WWE has done such a great job of getting me to not give a shit about anything Charlotte does.

 

[DaaaaB's]

I really hope Ripley wins this match.

 

[Natey]

This is a great match

 

[End of Line]

This is a great match

Same thought I had. Excellent story telling.

 

[ColePens]

Every single wrestler has been hitting hard the last 2 nights.
