I absolutely adore Renee Young. She's smart, well spoken, charismatic and just fucking gorgeous.
Why do we care that the Rock is tweeting? Also, why is he tweeting like a 20 year old wannabe rapper?
Corey Graves picks Roman Reigns to win, because he hates Roman Reigns and wants to see this crowd boo the crap out of him.
Booker says his pick is Rusev. Does Booker T even watch wrestling?
Renee Young, like any sane person, wants Daniel Bryan to win.
I like all the people in the kickoff show match, but because of terrible booking I just don't care.
The opening panel looks like MSNBC with their token white guy.
Who is this whitebread yutz? Is he the new Todd Pettingil... good lord we did NOT need a new Todd Pettingil.
The divas division is... fun? I wish this were NXT all of a sudden.
I'm going to refrain from ranting too much about the "New" Age Outlaws v. the Ascension. I'll save that for my Raw review tomorrow.
If nostalgia trips draw that much money, maybe we should resurrect Classy Freddy Blassie and have him kick the shit out of some up and coming stars.
Road Dogg was the only one of these two that was half way worth their contract... but only half way.
This Network plug is stupid. Acting like you know how stupid it is doesn't make it less stupid.
Brock Lesnar is not someone I talk a lot about, but I like him. He presents a legit bad ass image and anyone who wrestles him comes away better for it in the fan's eyes.
This interview is a cool idea. It actually hypes the Rumble match itself, so I'm ok with HBK getting some time. Could have been done with someone who could use the time, but it happens.
Can Shawn not be bothered to ever change his clothes? Seriously dude, it's the Rumble. Dress up a bit.
Booker T reminds me of a sexy librarian with his hipster glasses and tight bun... only not sexy... and annoying as fuck.
I watched that special on Connor the Crusher on the Network and I was brought to sobbing tears. I highly recommend watching it.
Ok, New Day's gimmick isn't quite as offensive as Cryme Tyme, but that's a high bar to jump over.
I desperately want to like these guys. God dammit WWE, stop making it impossible for me to like these guys!
Cesaro and Tyson Kidd are two of my favorite guys on the roster right now. Why the hell are they teaming together? It doesn't fit at all. Just feels slapped together for lack of anything else.
Everyone on my screen in this match has insane potential. Why do I feel like we'll be lucky to see one of them ever go anywhere?
The crowd actually seems pretty hyped for this match. I have the feeling we got a good crowd for the Rumble. Of course that means it's a dangerous crowd for WWE.
An example of how it's dangerous, they just booed Big E and cheered Cesaro.
You know that camera angle where we can see Natalya as well as the match? Just leave it on that camera.
This statistic video is the same one they show every year with slight edits. I like it, but you can do a new one every year guys. Don't get lazy now.
I'm going to be bold and put my Rumble prediction out there now. I have a feeling WWE is going to be smart this year and give it to Daniel Bryan. I also think somehow Seth Rollins will leave tonight with the title.
I also predict Kofi will avoid elimination by revealing that he has learned to fly.
Corey Graves looks so fucking weird in a suit and bow tie.
Why is Sting wearing a red Sgt. Pepper jacket? Ah well, at least he's not pretending to be Heath Ledger.
Why are they wasting time interviewing Ryback and Erik Rowan? We would have been fine if they JUST brought back Dolph Ziggler.
Ryback may not be a fucking idiot, but he sure talks like a fucking idiot.
Time to play "How many Network plugs can we fit in before the pay per view starts".
Five... the answer is five.
The opening videos to WWEs big shows are always fantastic. Whoever designs these should get some sort of award. Of course that would require the elitists to acknowledge wrestling exists.
And we're starting with the match I was dreading. At least we're getting it out of the way early.
Someone on hard camera side has a huge cardboard cut out of Colt Cabana's face. I hope he holds it up the entire show.
If this is anything but a ten second squash by Ascension, Vince has gone full retard.
Well, it's official. Vince has lost his mind.
Crowd chanting "You still got it" at Billy Gunn. He's still got what? Herpes? No duh. That shit's forever.
New Age Outlaws get all kinds of offense... and the Ascension gets a chinlock. Who do you think is calling this match?
Good ending, but not good enough to counteract them being dragged down into this shitty pseudo-feud.
Triple H is going to be a guest on Austin's podcast. I'm looking forward to that way more than I was for the Vince McMahon one.
Does Stephanie not understand that Sting hides in the rafters? That's his thing. Maybe you guys should check the rafters.
Paul Heyman got a good sized pop from the nostalgic Philly crowd. Me too, but one guy yelling in his living room isn't as cool.
The tag titles are still a thing? Crazy.
I'm still kind of amazed they couldn't get some fire dancers for the flying Uso twins. TNA did it for Samoa Joe and they're a joke.
If Miz and Mizdow don't turn on each other tonight, WWE will have waited too long.
I love Mizdow, but his act really does take away from the match.
That being said, Mizdow is over like big tits on a 20 year old. I wonder if that will carry over once this storyline is done.
"Miz using Mizdow as a human shield." Or... you know... a stunt double?
Miz is surprised he didn't win. Why? Didn't he see the booking sheet for the night?
Usos win... to the surprise of no one but the Miz.
I like that they're mentioning the kickoff show match. It was actually really good.
The New Stooges plugging WWE Immortals is... not the dumbest thing I've ever seen on a PPV, but that's not saying much.
Are Paige and Natty supposed to be lesbians or what? My penis is really confused about how to feel.
Implied lesbianism is the lamest kind of lesbianism.
I love Natalya, but this match is going way too long.
The Bellas win with a... forearm strike? Fucking weird.
Wrestling action figures and rings suck lately. You guys had it down. You didn't have to fix it until it was broken.
Roman Reigns has the dreamiest fucking eyes. I'm mostly straight, but he could probably convince me otherwise.
I really want to hate Goldust and Stardust, but I just fucking can't.
I like these bits where they do small interviews with everyone before the Rumble. Makes it seem much bigger than the three or four guys that have a shot at actually winning.
What the fuck is a Danko Jones and how do I get vaccinated for it?
The crowd singing "John Cena Sucks" along with his music is awesome. Philly fans know how to chant man.
I don't see the main event being a great match, but it's one of the rare instances where I think fans are more interested in the outcome than the match.
Seth landed that German suplex WAY wrong. Fucking ow.
Seth Rollins jumped on them like they were a couple Koopa troopas.
Rollins is being a super smart cowardly heel in this match. Brilliant. Brock and Cena kicking the shit out of each other is fun to watch too.
This has actually been a very well booked match.
All three of these guys are looking really good. The psychology of this one is on point.
The three AA spot was stupid, but the nasty curb stomp on Lesnar made up for it.
They're just going to tear down the arena. I'm all for it, but I'm not sure WWE is insured for this.
Aaaaaaand Brock's dead. Awesome table spot though, so worth it.
This match has been far better than I expected.
Did Cena just steal Kevin Owens' finisher? Asshole.
And the Stooges make the save!!! I love these guys.
Does anyone actually believe Brock is going to leave on a stretcher?
PHOENIX SPLASH! HOLY SHIT!!!
What an ending! Just fantastic. This is one people will talk about for a while.
That match was WELL worth being wrong about one of my predictions.
The thing that really strikes me about this match is how great Seth Rollins looked. He looked like a legitimate champion.
Fastlane is one of the dumbest PPV names I have ever heard, and I used to be an E-fedder.
I still think my prediction about Kofi will come true.
The Royal Rumble match is always one of my favorites. It typically sucks, but it's about the spectacle.
Why the hell does R-Truth get a Rumble spot? What has he done? Where has he been? How long until he realizes it probably isn't going to happen for him? Am I going to answer any of these questions?
R-Truth is still a better rapper than Iggy Azalea.
I like R-Truth way better when he was a crazy arachnaphobe.
Bubba Ray! Oh wow! Philly is going apeshit. I'm really glad to see him back. He's been one of the few things about TNA worth watching.
Does Bray Wyatt REALLY need to do his whole entrance? I know it's cool, but it's the Rumble.
It's set up well that they can have Harper and Wyatt still work together.
Poor Curtis Axel.
I guess Rowan can just take his spot because he jumped him. Those are Royal Rumble rules.
The Boogeyman? Really? Ok... I guess.
Well that was mercifully short.
Bray is showing us what a star he can be right here. It's like the Royal Rumble is his match.
ZACK RYDER!!! WOO WOO WOO! You know it!
He lasted longer than I thought he would... which isn't saying much.
And here's Daniel Bryan. A little early, but not way too early.
Fandango! The new favorite to win it!
Good lord. When's the last time you saw an airplane spin?
This Rumble has been very well put together so far.
DDP!!! FUCK YES!!!! This is the surprise of the night for me!
Ten out of ten. Best Rumble ever.
That's how you do that, ORTON!
Diamond Cutters for everyone!
Bryan eliminated already? This crowd might very well shit all over the rest of the match. That's a dangerous call.
The crowd is quite unhappy.
Yeah guys, Adam Rose and Kofi Kingston are not the way to bring the crowd back.
Roman Reigns getting booed? Yeah, THAT'S a good sign. Nice job Vince. You really screwed this one up.
Roman Reigns is the new Batista/Sheamus. He got fucked by proxy when Vince fucked Bryan.
Mizdow is in! Not even sure this will get them back.
Looks like they're going to pull the trigger on the Mizdow/Miz feud... fucking finally.
If Roman Reigns wins, he will be the world's biggest heel by Mania
Vince had everyone in the palm of his hand, and it seems like he is intentionally shitting on it. I just don't get the intentionally bad booking for this Rumble match.
Dean Ambrose is the only name that can save them at this point.
Yes! Titus O'Neil will bring this crowd back!
Guess not.
If I see the Rock tonight, I'm going to be very upset.
There is no godly reason for Big E to still be in the ring.
This would excite me a lot more if I thought Dolph might actually win.
Kane and Big Show being this influential is about the dumbest thing you can do.
Wow, they are throwing this Rumble down the toilet.
Kane and Big Show being in the final four is a HUGE mistake, and a damning indictment of how Vince sees his current roster.
And they have just told the crowd to go fuck themselves. Good luck on the road to Wrestlemania guys. This is not going the way you think it will.
This Rumble is an obvious example of how Vince does not get it.
Reigns is going to be a giant heel tomorrow.
This crowd is not interested.
And we get the Rock. I'm fucking done. Fuck the nostalgia trips. Give one shit about your current roster PLEASE Vince!
This makes me physically ill. I can't believe this appearance by an over the hill part timer is winning anyone over. Vince fucked up BAD tonight.
Yup, Reigns is now the company's top heel.
This shit is driving me insane. How can one company refuse to get it so hard? The crowd is booing Roman Reigns and the Rock! That should be a clear message, but it won't be.
