The most unbelievable thing about this is that I honestly can't think of anyone who should reasonably take it from him. That's how beaten down the roster is.

Same. I was thinking McIntyre for a little bit until they wrote him off via Corbin/Moss ambush.

I wouldn't put it past WWE to job him out to Brock at Wrestlemania and we get Two Belts Brock. You know... just have Brock beat Lashley, win the Rumble anyway, and then beat Reigns.

And then only show up again at SummerSlam.

Nah, Brock will show up to win the MITB briefcase.

Then he won't show up until Summerslam.

Also there's reports that Mustafa Ali requested his release. If so, yet another poorly booked Superstar goes

Well its not really reports

He said it himself on Twitter

Right, where the cesspool of WWE stans are saying Ali wasn't that good anyway. They deserve Roman vs Brock forever

Very nice, very evil debut

Charlotte: "I promise to do what Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will never do: bring a championship to Kansas City!"

Either the writers are idiots or Charlotte hasn't watched a lick of football since 2019

sounds like rumble is going real great

Kofi botched his elimination spot v_v

It was bound to happen eventually

So they used an entire Rumble to set up for Lesnar getting a match he logically would have had no problem getting to begin with?

That was a choice

Bad Bunny and Shane were in the final five

They really gave zero fucks this year

To be fair, Bad Bunny put in a better effort than half of the wrestlers did.

Which makes it even worse.

Was expecting the Mens rumble match to book Lesnar vs Roman for WM, but was expecting Roman to win and neither to lose the title so they do a double title match or something (they could still do that if Lesnar goes after Lashley at the Saudi Show >___>).

Men's Rumble match as a whole ranks pretty low all things considered. I actually found it funny that Chad Gable succeeded in orchestrating Omos' elimination while sacrificing Damian Priest as bait. But yeah, everything else was kinda lame outside of Bad Bunny returning. Also a shame about Kofi's skin the cat moments finally catching up to him (I think they were going to ignore it anyway until the replay showed it was obvious Kofi's feet touched the floor).

Was expecting Ronda to win the Womens Rumble match even before the rumours started since it felt obvious to me WWE would book Becky/Ronda. But it was probably the worst Womens rumble match to date. Also, wow at Sasha entering first and going out in minutes.

Wow. Anyway, updates to a couple top 10s...

Who was the next person on the second list there to actually get a bump after Brock and Randy? Sheamus?

I'll have to check the document tomorrow. I THINK #11 on that list is Jericho.

Oh I dont mean who is 11, I mean how far down was the next person who was actually in this main event

How long btw did Big E (who was literally WWE champion at the start of the month) actually LAST in this year's rumble? Was he even in there for more than 5 minutes?

kofi botching messed up the rest of the spots with E so they just dumped him out

The official times arent posted yet but it has to be around that

way to go KO, sure hope that new contract was worth getting dumped from the Royal Rumble by fucking Shane McMahon. Jesus christ.

He had to know that his push before resigning was just to get him to resign, and as soon as they had him locked up hed go back to being completely misused. As much as I like the guy, hes getting what he asked for when he agreed to stick with WWE.

a fat bag

Man the Raw title is truly a level below the SD one at this point.

Literally used as a prop for the other title's next feud. And after Brock just casually won it because his SD title match got cancelled.

If someone paid me $3 million a year I'd let Shane McMahon beat me on 52 consecutive weeks of RAW.

Will check later, but I think it's Ziggler

15 time rumble entrant Dolph Ziggler, with 12 eliminations!

Thats pretty funny that he can get that high almost on Rumbles alone

Also, a day we knew would come, but 2021 was the first year since 1989 that Undertaker didn't wrestle a match in WWE, ending a streak of 31 consecutive years with at least one match.

With HHH and Kane not wrestling once in 2020, the new leaders in said statistic is Orton and Cena, having wrestled at least once a year since 2002. (Cena wrestling this year to be determined eventually, if he does)

yesssssssss

i'm sorry for only reading and lurking, and not participating in chat much

and i'm bummed that WWE hasn't added content from many years ago until now (unless i'm looking in the wrong areas, or need to make sure I have premium paid for) on Peacock, on top of which WWE has soured on me for quite a while.

which is why I give my attention to, and am impressed with AEW!! I just love how different and fresher it is, from Chris Jericho's theme, to a Luchasaurus, and from an American Dragon to a Guy doing Cowboy-sh--. and I know I can't be the only fan, but I do enjoy watching Orange Cassidy and find him hilarious. but lately, after seeing him on a recent episode of Dynamite, i'm intrigued by Danhausen. and I do have to say, it's entertaining to see him and Orange together

and I do use YouTube a lot to try and keep up currently, what with Raw and Smackdown Top 10's, and clips of matches from AEW (great to see CM Punk again, after so long)

thanks for your time and reading!! have a pleasant day/evening

WWE has been adding content from other eras since the Network started. Its just all very poorly organized, even moreso on Peacock.

Reading and lurking is fine Pika, and we're all mostly in agreement. AEW is fresh and mostly great stuff from start to finish, while it's very easy to be soured by WWE.

Anyway, with last year's crazy releases, topic discussion: any predictions on who gets released from WWE in 2022? I'll give you 10 of my predictions

Elias
Apollo Crews
Commander Azeez
Veer Mahaan
Mace
T-Bar
Ricochet
Shotzi
Humberto
Shanky

A stretch for a couple of these, but I mainly looked at the ones that WWE either hardly uses or puts on Main Event.

It would be pretty funny if Veer got released before he made his debut

VEER

Coming soon to the unemployment line

I'm really liking the slow burn storylines AEW seem to be committing to. Obviously the Hangman one, but that was easy mode. I'm more impressed that they've actually managed to get me seriously invested in Julia Hart and her decent into darkness.

Zack Ryder is a world champion

And now AEW wishes Cody the best in his future endeavors. What a week

wat

https://twitter.com/AEW/status/1493602087481061377

How long before Cody is facing ricochet on main event? Fucking hell.

I really want all these weird releases to be building to either a new/revamped fed or an Invasion

like imagine some combo of Shane and Cody and HHH scooping up some of the free agents floating around and doing a thing

but mainly I want them to run back the whole Vince/Shane buying WCW thing with Nick/Tony Khan
