I've been re-watching Royal Rumble PPVs chronologically because it's Rumble season. For some reason I didn't skip 1995, and I really should've. Mercifully the entrants were coming in every 60 seconds so the match itself goes quick but MAN it's rough. ... Copied to Clipboard!

ZeroSignal posted... From my experience watching them...You left out a royal rumble. In fact, you've left out the GREATEST ROYAL RUMBLE (2018 Saudi). If I had to pick 5 Royal Rumbles to recommend... Probably 2001, 2007, 2002, 1992, and maybe 2018. Worst is still easily 2015 by far. Outside of DDP and Bubba showing up and brief spots where Wyatt ran into The Boogeyman and Harper/Rowan early on, there was NOTHING to enjoy from that match ESPECIALLY the latter half of the rumble which felt slow, boring, botched what would was supposed to be one of the most memorable eliminations that night, had two over-the-hill wrestlers slowly dumping people out of the ring, and pretending the match was over for like 3 minutes despite Rusev still not being eliminated yet. That's not even taking into account fucking up Roman's push so badly heading into the rumble that, combined with key dangling the prospect of a returning Bryan winning the match only to eliminate him halfway into the match with only like 8 minutes, the crowd turned so hard on Roman that it took him needing to take a break to deal with Leukemia in order for that massive heat to stop. Not just an excellent example of how not to book arguably your most anticipated match of the year, but how not to book the guy who you're planning to make the next face of the company. All the other bad rumbles at least have SOMETHING to enjoy. 2012 had some decent moments despite being underwhelming. 1995 had HBK and DBS lasting the entire match back when that meant a lot more, the earliest rumbles (88-91 and 93-94) were relatively boring (I partially blame the lack of music between entrants entering, not having that really hurts watchthroughs) but still had a couple of good moments and had to establish the traditions/tropes that are usually associated with the match (if that's the right phrase to use)? 2014 only got bad once #30 came out and everyone realised "oh, they are actually going with Batista", 2022 had some decent moments despite being poorly booked as a whole (not to mention Lesnar F-5'ing Bad Bunny keeps it out of the bottom 5 for me). As for 1999, that took a backseat to the whole "Austin/McMahon" angle, but at least the angle was somewhat entertaining (not to mention you HAD to have known that Austin was facing Rocky at Mania regardless of whether he won or lost the match, right? Who else was going to realistically face Rock and not get a Bootista-esqe crowd reaction? Chyna?). --- PaulG235 | Finished in the Top 2 of GotD2010's Second Chance Bracket Sadly, there are no second chances in the Guru, azuarc doesn't need one. ... Copied to Clipboard!

2015 had the Reigns push, Bryan eliminated in under 8 minutes early into the match, plus Big Show and Kane being booked like mythological gods this late in their career. Also noteworthy was fans chanting for Rusev despite him being a full blown anti-American heel, THAT'S how much Roman was hated back then. 99 was a mess with more action happening outside the ring than there was inside it. Wrestlecrap's induction of this Rumble was spot on. 2012 was the year where literally anyone could sign up for it.

AriaOfBolo posted... hot take I hated this I think the problem for me is he wasn't put in serious jeopardy really at any point and it felt like Drew kinda fluke eliminated him. I would have liked it more if there was a real build to him being thrown out, gradually stronger foes and then someone overpowers him outright. Personally would put 1998 right by 1999 in terms of being bad because I felt the obviousness of Steve Austin winning was a huge distraction to both but I can see why 1999 is more reviled. --- No problem!

FFDragon posted... Zero people care about Cody vs Reigns. Yeah I don't watch a ton so maybe am missing some nuance but Sami 'betraying' the Bloodline in that fashion seems such a bad payoff when he's so white hot. I don't care about Cody at all. And this is also the problem with the belts being together. They could have done Cody vs Brock and have it be equally as big. Presumably the end result is that Reigns is unable to beat Cody because he doesn't have the bloodline to help him which I guess is fine but it going full circle with Jey dethroning him or a white hot Sami dethroning him would have been so much better. With Sami especially it would have painted a better picture of look how reliant he was on the bloodline and how much he's fallen that Sami Zayn is the one to finally topple him. I do like the idea of making Roman defend the belts separately at WM. Especially if it's over two days. You could have Heyman weasel Cody's match into only being for one of the belts because the rumble win only lets him pick his title choice and doesn't let him go for both. Then you could have Roman see Sami as such a non threat that he's like fine, I'll deal with you personally at WM and some authority figure makes him defend the belt in the match because of how Heyman weaseled the Cody match into being for one belt. ...

Since Rock/Roman looks highly highly unlikely now at Mania, Cody winning is absolutely the correct choice here. Cody was polarizing in AEW because of his EVP status but in WWE he is the biggest babyface Roman could possibly face that is a legitimate threat to his title reign. I still believe Roman retains at Mania to break 1000days in his title reign and eventually drops it to Cody at SummerSlam. I feel like Cody/Roman is gonna be a long term feud extending past Mania. Now, Roman is probably gonna face Sami at Elimination Chamber and as red hot as Sami is, he hasn't been built nearly to the level of a main eventer much less a WrestleMania main event, not yet anyways. Sami is cheered and loved almost unanimously because he's just so entertaining, is excellent at his role but he has gotten over mostly in a comedic role. If enough time is given for him to develop as a serious World title contender, he could absolutely main event WrestleMania one day, kinda like Daniel Bryan. Right now, is Cody's time. Probably one of the best overall Royal Rumble PPVs I have watched. Rhea Ripley winning like an absolute badass all the way from #1 although predictable was just so so good to see. ...

2 days away from the ppv and there's only five matches. Given two of them are Chambers and should easily make for an hour of time, we're probably just getting one more match added. Again, probably McIntyre/Sheamus vs Raiders. Thinking that Theory retains the US title, giving him credibility going into Mania. Seth probably gets distracted by Logan Paul to set up that Mania match and Theory takes advantage. I don't see anyone else being the final two in the Chamber. Going on a limb and picking Asuka to win the other chamber for the shot at Belair. Edge and Beth win their match after Rey helps out, setting up Rey vs Dominik at Mania. Lashley beats Brock after Hurt Business reunite, making it 4 on 1 (5 if Omos is still around) and the odds too much for Brock to handle. Rematch at Mania. Reigns beats Zayn to close the night. --- Formerly known as Raven 2 https://twitch.tv/TheZeroSignal ... Copied to Clipboard!
