I look forward to a near future where someone calls a 42 year old man a "rookie" on WWE programming.

Maybe this is their vision on how to maintain their over 50s audience, when eventually half of the main roster is literally their age so they can relate to these superstars.

I mean Styles was, what, 39 when they were doing the whole Redneck Rookie thing with him? They weren't far off even then.

Vince was legitimately a rookie at 43!

or since they don't develop Talent anymore and just scooped up Indie guys, and those guys are in their late twenties and early thirties anyway.

205 Live ceased being main roster when they moved the title to NXT

Anyway it was Dana Brooke as soon as Fandango left the main roster to go to NXT

Fair enough. And not surprised about Dana.

Occasionally when they cross paths now Dana tries to add heat by referencing it in the ring

Charlotte usually no sells it

With my numbers updated, here's the current top ten ppv main event winners, followed by top ten ppv main event appearances after Royal Rumble

PPV Main Event Wins
1) Cena - 37
2) HHH - 34
3) Undertaker - 26
4) Austin - 20
4) Lesnar - 20
6) HBK - 19
7) Hogan - 18
7) Orton - 18
9) Rock - 16
10) Reigns - 15
Edge's win on Sunday was his 10th ppv main event victory, putting him in a 3-way tie for 13th with Bret Hart and Kurt Angle

PPV Main Event Appearances
1) Undertaker - 73
2) Cena - 71
3) HHH - 70
4) Orton - 57
5) HBK - 50
6) Austin - 41
7) Kane - 39
8) Lesnar - 36
9) Rock - 34
10) Reigns - 32
Kane's inching closer and closer to the Rattlesnake as the Rumble was his first main event since Crown Jewel 2018. Orton's comfortably in 4th, but still needs a full year of closing out ppvs if he wants to match Hunter!

Alright, I watched the rest of Royal Rumble.

Miz comedy is pretty bad. Or I may just be, like, tired of it at this point. JoMo is fun though.

Okay, I can imagine people liking dumb stuff with the 24/7 Title. Like, they have to be dumb. So dumb. Bottom tier sense of humor to like it, sure. But I cannot imagine anyone enjoying Rosenburg or whatever his name is winning the belt. Like how stupid. Just... why?

Promo package for Reigns vs. Owens was actually really good. Really great match too (except lol taking the golf cart spot). I cannot believe they didn't make Roman heel before. Like what the hell. He's actually legitimately good and has depth now. Can you imagine if they did this sooner how much better shape WWE might actually be in if they didn't try to throttle us with Face Roman this whole time? Absolutely unbelievable. Owens was outstanding here too. Great job from both guys.

Rumble Thoughts:
  • I guess I'll get it out of the way. I like Edge well enough but holy shit can you imagine that you make him the first entrant and then actually have him win? You had NO OTHER OPTIONS for this? With two belts? Come the fuck on guys.
  • Also, this Rumble did a lot of things that I completely hate about the Rumble. Attack on the outside leaving someone out for most of it? Yeah. Did it with Orton. Totally stupid. Totally pointless. Just why?
  • Sami Zayn's gimmick is weird, but he seems fun still.
  • Mustafa Ali finally gets to show character and he's good at it. Imagine if they didn't sleep on like 90% of the roster.
  • Jesus how was Carlito so jacked oh my god. Keep him around.
  • Ricochet is so wasted. He's so incredible and he gets eliminated by fucking Kane. lmao Dude how do they waste this guy?
  • Elias is just the most pointless thing. He's like, so boring now.
  • Damien Priest is pretty cool I guess.
  • Corbin still sucks.
  • Christian coming back was the highlight of this and they just... didn't make as big of a deal about it as they should have? But then that's par for the course for Christian. The moment between him and Edge was amazing though. He hasn't missed a step at all. I'm really happy for him.
  • Cesaro is still being slept on Jesus.
  • Who is Omos and why is this like so boring. Why is he allowed to eliminate people? What the fuck.
  • The finish still sucks. Who can possibly care about Edge winning except for the olds?
  • Overall, very boring and uninteresting Rumble with nothing going on. The Women's Rumble was a million times better.


Now to not watch WWE for another year or something.

He wasnt even supposed to get a spot in the Rumble, thats how wasted he is.

He was a reserve to sub in for Jey Uso who is hurt again

After watching Cesaro on Twitch for awhile (you know, before WWE stopped that because they suck), it honestly seems like he's looking for stability more than anything else right now and is more interested in his ventures outside of wrestling, so that may make a bit of sense as to why he re-signed. He probably knows he'll be able to go pretty much anywhere if he ever leaves WWE, so might as well ride out that money now.

My favorite thing about the rumble was Edge being in for the entire time and then no-selling a surprise RKO after 40 minutes of wrestling. They might as well just get rid of finishers at this point in WWE
