Gunther. That is all.
Honestly a career defining showing from that guy. He's absolutely incredible
Have him beat Cody at SummerSlam
That guy is awesome.
@@leir2005 I doubt it. I definitely want them for the main event at SS but I think Cody is going to carry the belt for a while
Gunther didn't break Rey mysterio record that is lie from wwe, Rey mysterio record was for 30 man royal rumble, Gunther was 29 man royal rumble so mysterio still has the record
@@k.konczak3291 Gunther? I hardly know her
Gunther has been the shock of WWE Booking, I like that he’s been getting booked as a serious heel
It is not just because he is good, it is because he looks like a giant in a smaller body. He has a weird body where he is able to seem bigger than he actually is.
@@chrisgullett4332 It also doesn't hurt that papa H likes him.
Not really a shock, WWE booking has always loved the type of character Gunther is
@@orangemaniabrother2232 Not Vince.
@@orangemaniabrother2232 I do not think that is it, because he just has it. Some guys just have IT, and he is one of them. HHH liking wrestlers seems to be a bad thing. Just look at all the guys he supposedly liked, because all of them ended badly. Just look at Enzo and Cass, because they were his top guys in NXT, and he pulled for them to be called up. Then for no reason one night he turned on them, and they have talked about it in many interviews, and are still clueless as to why he turned on them. Or look at FTR, because they were also supposedly his guys, then one night he turned on them as well. FTR says that they talked to Shawn Michaels, and the bald one was pouring his heart out to Shawn Michaels about personal stuff, and Michaels tells HHH, and HHH tells everybody, and HHH starts making fun of them. They said it happened on the same night minutes before they did the spot with DX. So when you watch it back now, you know that right before that spot happens, HHH was in the back making fun of them like a kid on the playground. That was clearly why they left WWE, because they realized they no longer had HHH. There are countless stories about HHH supposedly liking wrestlers, and then turning on them. It is almost like HHH wants to help get people over, then hates them when they get over. Nonetheless, I would not see HHH liking me as something positive based on the stories several wrestlers have told.
Dominik was so underrated in this match…..lasted a while, nuclear heat, setting the stage for mania against Rey…..this guy is getting over and has improved so so much
Dominick is getting way better I thought he sucked at first. But now honestly he's getting good kinds and he's entertaining
"Nuclear heat" and "getting over" are two opposite things my friend.
And didn't have to do half the bumps and work of Gargano.
What did I miss about Dominic going to prison ?
I haven’t watched raw in 2 months.
He still sucks and should not be getting as much tv time as he does
"You wanna slap Karrion Kross's ass?!" The most memorable line of this entire review.
😅😅😅
I fucking laughed at that.
😂😂😂😂😂
The line from 19:58-ish about the banger brothers is what cracked me up
"Judgment day look like a team that all go to different nightclubs" had me dying
The 2023 Men’s Rumble will be remembered for the final battle between Cody and Gunther. Gunther looked like a boss lasting as long as he did. And the right guy won the event. Was very happy with it overall.
That and Sheamus, Drew and Gunther carrying the story arch of the rumble.
Gunther is a dead lock of a star.
The best thing he ever did was NOT sign right away. He made it very well known that he was happy living in Europe and just making dates in the US from time to time, so WWE had to make this worth his time.
@@thelinedrive gunner is a terrible wrestler he's just big wwe is obsessed with big size wwe is wasting montez by not pushing him anh because he's like me black
@@darnellwilliams8783 Hmm, I've met you and you're a white Frenchman. I'm mixed race and I remember us hanging out.
@@darnellwilliams8783 can't tell if your comment was sarcasm or autism
To me Gunther was the real winner. He's the next big thing. An absolute iron man.
Best in the business
Best in the business
An excellent showing for Gunther, truly a star in the making.
The fact that he had an amazing standoff with Cody after being there for an hour. Gunther is a beast.
Real Ironman is Bryan still hold record but wwe erased that but yes agree 100% Guthner was the winner he was bad ass
Pats commentary actually had me laughing it was better than any commentary we've heard from these robot commentators of the past decade
I’d say that those 3 need to do every wwe show from here on out.
@@joegreene7619 Michael Cole has been good for at least the last 3 years. People tend to just hold on to whatever opinion too long and only change of others do. Sheamus being a good wrestler yet just recently getting his due is another one. I was a Cole Miner tho because I thought they did a good job capitalizing on how terrible he was what 15 years ago now. Regardless yes Cole and Pat are great. Corey Graves just as good imo. Those 3 have to continue to be on all PPVs(PLE)
Love how he slipped up and called it "The Cock" and had to correct himself
Elias poor guy 🦗
Corey Graves is the shits.
Constant yelling, smark comments and overacting.
"The streets is behind you Dom!" -Corey Graves. Commentary was very entertaining all show lol.
And Michael Cole sold it, calling Dominick a *"Piece of Shit!"*
@@usamazahid3882 After Beth speared Rhea:
"I told you someone needed to kick Rhea's ass".
So happy Jim brought it up…I hated when they cut from Gable/Woods amateur wrestling! For the few seconds that we saw, it looked tremendous
Especially when they hyped up Gables skill but Woods looked like he snagged a positive position by surprise and then bam, camera cut
Exactly! I wanted to watch that, instead they showed two false eliminations.
Some people say the roles were reversed that the heel (Gunther) had the Herculean effort at number one going against the babyface that came in 30th. The positions were actually done perfectly for the story.
Gunther had the fatigue at the end while Cody had the ring rust and the scar tissue from his bicep surgery. It helped the story that Gunther even targeted the injury during the one on one confrontation.
This is no doubt a Five star match some time in the future.
If I had my way, which I won't, of course, but I would have Gunther win one of Roman's belts at the EC, defend against Cody in a banger match on Mania night 1, and have Roman vs Sami on night 2. But I don't think they would not have Roman vs Cody.
I can see a cody title defense and angle comin from this down the line
Hopefully it takes place in the Moon Dome so it can get 24 stars!
They can't get 5 stars the match won't be in the Tokyo dome or feature any of Dave Meltzer's love interests.
They should have had a picture-in-picture, of the action, during entrances.
gonna need picture in picture to keep track of all your unnecessary commas
My favorite part of the entire Rumble was just Dominik failing to rip Rey’s mask 😂😂😂
Yeah he needs to work his grip strength
He was struggling 😂
@@jere.nurkka even big strong guys like the big show have talked about how those masks are incredibly hard to tear.
@@pphyjynx8217 So?
If anything it added to the cowardice heel part of his character that he can’t even rip a mask
Cody Rhodes may have got his moment but mad respect for Gunther for being the Iron Man & being the MVP of Men Royal Rumble match . Hope Gunther will win next years Royal Rumble
Cody moment was over shadowed
Gunther won't win next years rumble. He'll already be the champion.
Are you kidding me? He's a big goof with a head that's too big for his body, and he's a KLUTZ!
@@alphadogg64personally my next few champions would be Cody beating Roman. Gunther beating Cody (and now they have a history) then Bron Breaker to beat Gunther.
@@areality40 Cool
I'm short of three minutes in, and Jim's commentary on both The Miz and Gargano have me legit laughing out loud at my desk.
Same
Miz and Gargano stood out negatively here, like never before. Gargano especially
I had to pause and laugh for Brian’s dig at Jim regarding slapping Karrion Kross’ ass 🤣
@@JaculaDudek Gargano is just terrible. One of the reasons I tuned out of NXT when he had his singles push.
Good ol Johnny Sameface 🤣🤣
That Johnny fluffer line had me laughing so hard 🤣 😂
Same, followed by tossing him off
He is right tho. I always liked him on the indys and nxt but always said he just doesn't have the charisma or creativity of a top guy. All the stuff with champa was great but as far as storyline or feuds thats all i think he has ever done that was great.
Ricochet and Logan's mid air collision was weirdly cool
Can't say I care for Logan as a person, but I'd be lying if I said he wasn't made for this.
Loved that spot, was so surprised that Logan was able to do that.
@@mattabshier2494 I care for Logan as a person lmao. Ppl wanna get mad over what Logan's done in the past but give Jay Briscoe a pass? They both deserve a pass. And if people are mad about the crypto scam, crypto bitches deserve to get scammed lmao.
@@LeCarnage That's fine.
@@LeCarnage ok bootlicker
The mens rumble was good with many stories being told, lack of surprises doesn't mean it was bad. It's a good thing that HHH isn't relying on old stars for the rumble.
That move will forever live in wrestling infamy
Which is always a great thing
Sadly, this is what people shit on the men's rumble for! Like bring us a guy or two, but fuck old gimmicks, give your roster the spotlight.
I think there should be three old suprises. One in the single digits, tens, and twenties
It was a predictable noozefest
Jim said it once about Foley winning, the championship belt from Rock. Tony announcing it on Nitro and then people flocking to Raw to see it. Wrestling fans want to watch their guy win, especially if they know he is going to win. It fits here with Cody. Everyone predicted and still wanted it.
Good point although doesn’t count for the rumble the shock and surprise is the whole point of the rumble. Didn’t help they announced 90% of contestants and had barely any surprises plus the whole mysterio mess made people think someone might be taking his place as a late surprise. It personally made 0 sense to ruin Cody’s return
Best line of the entire segment:
"It's fucking January!" Lol
I can't wait until the review on the Pitch Black match comes out. That one will be great.
The review will be better than the "match". Good god that was appalling. Poor LA Knight 😂
He may well have an aneurysm.
@@l228spn well he'd be the lucky one cos I'm annoyed that I came away from sitting through that thing relatively unscathed.
I don’t get all the hate for Bray. I hate the funhouse stuff but I like Bray.
@@bryanpottorff3392 cause hes a good story teller but boring wrestler
The crowd was dead silent for Gargano 😂
As they should be
Where did all the Johnny Wrestling stans go? They all seemed to vanish into thin air.
@@chrishernandez3699 still in the Nxt stands. Lol
@@chrishernandez3699 in Aew crowds
They always quite Idk triple h pushing him so hard
Cody winning as #30 feels like easy mode.
Considering he just comeback, and was only recently cleared to compete, it was suppose to be easy.
He should have been number 1 to sell the recovery and babyface heroic comeback more, and Gunther should have been like number 10 so he can still spend more time in the rumble and look strong
Gunther really went up a few notches on this show. An old school, mean as fuck, brutal chopping villain lasting over an hour in the rumble is rare.
I was really impressed with Gunther. He was very dominant. I expected Cody to win the whole thing but it was a "good thing" feeling.
Loved the match. Loved Cody winning it. The final 2 with Cody and Gunther was awesome as well. Hope Cody wins at mania
Cody has to win at Mania...
There's no way Cody doesn't go over at Mania
Cody has to win, agreed. Question is how many CrossRhodes will it take to pin him if Brock Lesnar needed six F5’s?
I want Cody to go over at Mania, but IMHO Gunther has future world champ written on his face. So hopefully he takes the belt from Cody at Summerslam
They'd be too stupid to do that. Zayn needs to be the one to get the rub as it'll be the ultimate feel good moment after all the 9 month effort they've put into The Bloodline Story, Rhodes winning is beyond bad and I hope it'll be a triple threat.
I love that Jim Cornette thinks Mortons is a good restaurant
Logan & Ricochet spot made the whole Rumble match worth it - incredible
I’ve never seen anything like it.
You're a mark. That was the dumb-dumb spot fest. Nothing good about it.
@@OmegaRedFan lol far from it...long time fan from back in the day but check in from time to time. It was enjoyable for what it was
Brought Jeff Hardy speared by Edge off a ladder vibe :D he needs to dump most of the YT shit and just podcast and Wrestle
@@darth_vyper He's big because of youtube lol
Cody and Gunther/Walter had the same feel as 2007's Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. I really enjoyed this year's Royal Rumble
As someone from Memphis and who watched Memphis wrestling I swear Pat McAfee is the closest thing we will get to Jerry Lawler. His charisma and punchlines are funny as hell! 💯 😂
Minus Lawler's interest in 12 year old girls I hope
@@Julian-xj6mh hold up , wait what ?
Lawler was accused of raping and sodomizing a 15 year old girl in 1993 but she allegedly lied. Grey area when you delve deeper.
Naw more like piper
@@Julian-xj6mh You know he was acquitted after the brat admitted she made it up?
I’m from the UK and I definitely laughed at what Brian said 😂
Jim's a tosser
Hahahah same here.
Tossed him off 😆😆😆
@@Wrestling679 I'm gonna assume it's slang for strangling the python?
I'm in the UK and when I heard the phrase 'being tossed off', I nearly wet myself laughing. A modern comedy classic!
The Logan Paul/Ricochet spot was one of the most incredible things I have ever seen. Fantastic Royal Rumble match.
I honestly felt like I was in a movie IDIOCRACY when it unfolded.
Looked cool. Wholly nonsensical though in the context of a match
Yeah that moment had some Edge/Matt Hardy TLC vibes to it.
@@darthroden was Jeff not Matt.
it was staged idiotic crap. Hey lets jump into each other!
VKM was absolutely right about most of the people he released . except la knight. la knight can be a star
You're not wrong. Hit Row are terrible and I have no idea what has happened to Johnny Gargano 😕 They're obviously waiting for Ciampa to return so they can reform D.I.Y. But this current run is absolutely destroying him
Especially about Bray...he's so overrated.
He didn't release LA Knight, just repackaged him as Maxx Dupri.
He is a star YEAAAAHHHHH
@@m8datmoney837 let me talk to ya....Yeah
Cody is my guy and I’d stopped watching wrestling from 2002 till like 2020. There’s just something about him as a Babyface(& eventually a Heel) im just ready to support and get behind. I thought Pat Patterson would’ve been proud of how they executed this rumble🔥
The Brotherhood(Cody and Dustin) storyline from 10 years ago was very good. Their match against the SHIELD was fire.
You missed a lot. Why did you start watching wrestling when no crowds happened
@@pleaseshutup7053 yea I dont believe that story at all you really wanna tell me u started watching during the worst era
I quit from 02 to 22 so I get you bro
2002-2009 was pretty good that you missed out on in WWE especially 2002-2006
Great Rumble! I've been a big fan of Booker T since the Harlem Heat days, so it was nice seeing him one more time.
I liked Gunther when when he was heavier, thought it gave his strikes more oomph
“Darrell Dawkins of the Street Profits” 😂😂😂
As a basketball and wrestling fan, this took me out LOL 😂😂😂😂
What I really liked about the Rumble match is that it showed hints of that magic WWF feeling that's been missing for so long.
The best part was that they now allow Cole to make jokes about the wrestlers, not just be the straight man on commentary. So the jokes about Dominik were super funny. They are actually playing into the fake thug character Dominik is playing. They literally even mentioned Konnan, which means they have been paying attention to all the online talk about Konnan and Dominik. I said it not long ago, Dominik was the worst wrester in WWE in 2022, but in the same year he was also the most improved, and is a heat getting machine. It is nice to see WWE reward a guy like Dominik who is clearly working hard and improving. Go back and watch Dominik in early 2022, and watch him now, it is like night and day.
Na I don't know about "magic" per say. I do think it's a good thing that they're finally going all in with the current roster and not letting OGs take the spotlight anymore.
That Logan and Ricochet spot was crazy. Straight out of a comic book!
Kunf fu Movie Style. Flying around and fight mid air
Yup and the way Logan’s head smacked off the mat looked painful
It was stupid and illogical.
@@dreddscott3873 "Illogical" what is "illogical" about two athletic dudes doing that move? I'm not a fan of the high spot fests that modern wrestling has become but that was an impressive move and logical. "Stupid" maybe but you sound like you miss watching 30 minute matches with 1/3 of that time being stupid headlocks and sleeper holds. Like it or not Logan Paul has a bigger name than anyone in WWE not named Vince McMahon. He's the only one on the roster with any sort of mainstream appeal. Sorry, but Mid-South went out of business years ago.
@@dreddscott3873 🤡
“Pablo Escobar, and Daryl Dawkins” 😭
Guthers performance in the Rumble was the best i've ever seen, if WWE doesnt push him into a Main Event star than idk whats wrong with the Company.
This is part of my whole royal rumble experience ..thank you Jim and Brian
The best Shattered Dreams spot ever. First time it ever made sense that the guys legs were stuck and he didn’t just take them down before getting nutshotted. Gunther was so spent that he literally couldn’t get out of it.
Not at all. Gunther's feet weren't wrapped up in the ropes and he was staring at Cody the whole time anticipating it. He wasn't trapped and looked dumb.
It was too obvious that Cody didn't actually make contact with him.
Loved the fact that there were almost no surprise returns. The current roster was more than capable enough to carry the entire match.
It does justify HHH signing some people. The roster feels more complete than when Vince was forced to leave.
yet is fucking BORING!!!!
Gunther was the absolute MVP. Maybe the best Royal Rumble performance along with Flair. Him and Cody had such chemistry. That is a feud you can run with for years.
Yeah Gunther looked good.
This is pure comedy gold. You guy’s takes are hilarious. That judgment day different night comment got me dead as hell 😂😂😂😂
I thought Kofi was supposed to fall in the chair and stay up but the chair fell 🤣
Cody Vs Gunther was probably one of the best final 2 in Rumble history in my opinion. Gunther is going to be the next big thing for sure. He looked amazing. Cody deserved the win for it, but Gunther was just a big a winner.
Gunther and Cody at the end was fantastic. I personally have hated the rumble for several years now, but this one was pretty good
Jim Cornette - so good at his job. I hope to see him on TV again one day, even if only for a short run.
Don't think he wants the hassle of doing tv. He's said he wants to do at least one more public event in the next few years just so he can say he's worked every decade for the last 50 years but he might just want to do a meet and greet or something.
He doesn't need the money, he doesn't like dealing with stress, doesn't like traveling and doesn't like most people in person.
For me, in fantasy world he'd be Gunther's manager for the next 5 years, and eventually set up a match between Gunther and Roman just because the promo exchange between Corny and Heyman would be gold
Corney referencing vintage MAD TV at 10:43 on behalf of Otis is comedy gold.🤣👍
When Gargano came out i went to sleep until the end
You mentioned a lot of the returning/young faces but I have been very impressed by Dominic’s growth these past few months. It spoke volumes to me that he was the member of JD that was in there the longest.
He probably making Rey retire at Mania.
hahahahahahahahahahahah
Same face #2?
If he had a better physique he’d actually be pretty good. One of those chickenshit heels thats fun to hate on
I was actually kinda shocked at how interesting Dominik was in the rumble match. I loved the vignette that he and Rhea did leading up to the rumble match and he did a great job of nailing his part. He was getting legit heat which is not something I figured would happen for him at any point of his career.
Ripley and Gunther were definitely the MVP's of this show
Nah sammi
Sami was the MVP. That ending will be remembered in 20 years time.
@@YeTism sammi was the star no doubt kind of close to when Bryan turned on Bray and the crowd went nuts but Gunther and Ripley bust they ass in that Rumble
When talking about an MVP of the show there is only one and it's Sami
Glad Auska wasn't acting like a stereotypical Asian person from back in the day.
I love wrestling fans! One minute, they complain about the Royal Rumble relying on talent of the past; then they complain about the Royal Rumble NOT having too many "surprises". Glad both Rumbles focused solely on WWE talent of today.
You don't say? I, for one, was never fond of the Rumble surprises - always wanted the Rumbles to continue to cultivate the stars the WWE has - such as Gunther, for example.
@Jean Y If you're talking balancing the two then it should've been 15 current WWE performers and 15 performers from the past amiga.
Them cutting from Brock and Gunther had me heated on the night.
The camera work was awful! I was pissed too they focusing on entrances way too long and missing so much
“One reason the womens rumble was so hard to stomach was because you’d already seen the good one” 🤣🤣🤣
I died hahaha😂
The Booker T long pants segment back and forth is the best.
Gargano belongs in All Petite Wrestling!
Gold stars for both you!!
Jim: the "Lowered Expectations" line.
Brian: the part about Judgement Day going to different night clubs.
I am so proud of Cody. He is honest and sincere. I really think that's so rare
He was never even CLOSE to being a title contender before so why now? Oh yes, it is because he is a founder of AEW! EVERYONE knows it.
I thank Cody for founding AEW but if I were to choos between Reigns/ Rhodes and Danielson or MJF, then the latter two are the OBVIOUS ones!
Gunther was absolutely incredible by the end he was already my favorite on the show and that made him an even bigger deal and made Cody’s win way more impressive i loved the whole rumble this year
I have been looking forward to JC talking about the rumble wayyy more than the rumble itself
“He tossed him off” laughing with tea in hand 🇬🇧😂😂
One of the biggest pops of the night was the very quick Brock Lesnar/Gunther face off.
Yeah like jim said they should have kept the camera on them instead of lashley walking
WWE really dropped the ball by not having Elias enter the Royal Rumble, getting eliminated, going backstage and shaving his beard off to re-enter as Ezekiel
I feel like Kofi was supposed to do his whole thing and missed the chair
Jim was being quite rude, contemptuous, irreverent, and down right disrespectful on these RR clips.....
AND I LOVE IT AS USUAL 😂😂🤣🤣
Lol 5:53 tossed off lol I am British and I did burst out 😂
I feel like they put Cody at 30 because they are scared he's gonna get hurt again.
I agree. Torn muscles are serious.
From south Texas , and it's been super cold for Texas last year and this year, today is around 40 degrees all day so yes, it was and is cold in San Antonio while the Royal rumble was goin on .
The way the volume slightly dips at 2:18 when JC mentions Gargano is SO FUNNY, because I know it's because he's fully facepalming which is muffling his voice
to me the highlight of the whole PPV was the spot between Ricochet and logan paul that will be remember more then cody wining the mens rumble hands down
I would like to see a run of Royal Rumbles now where nobody from numbers 1 or 2 (or even 3, 4 and 5) lasts until the end. WWE always makes it out as "doing the unthinkable" when it happens nearly every year.
I agree, it can be cool having somebody go on a long run during a Rumble but it's also been way overdone.
Yep now people expect number 1 and 2 to last long. It used to be that number 1 and number 2 had no chance of lasting long, and only in very few rumbles they lasted longer which shocked the fans and the commentary made it look shocking too. It just makes the rumble look fake af if every year number 1 and 2 lasted for most of the match. And it also makes the wrestlers not look impressive if so many others have done it
I audibly lost my shit at 'Almost' and 'Brown Stongman'
Pat McAfee on commentary was great. It was also revealed he was a surprise and got there within 20 minutes before the show started and nobody told Cole or Graves about it.
The RR match itself had an obvious outcome, but how they got to it out of the final 2 was what made it worth it.
Brock almost killed the announcers lol
Ah this video means the Pitch Black match review is a coming soon 😄 Can't wait for this one 👻👹💀🤣🤣
I can't wait! It's going to be hilarious!!!!! 😂😂😂
I thought bray looked bad ass during the match, but I've got no idea what they're wanting to do with Bray anymore, much more of that shit, he's gonna lose the crowd again.
It's up. I listened to it before this. One of Corny's better reviews lol.
@@KOHoxton I couldn't agree more
Did I hear a Star Wars reference at 4:58 fodder!?) fodder bantha haha🤪 got you dork
Honestly, I knew Cody was going to win, I want cody to have the title run. It will be great to have a believable baby face with a real heart warming story. But God damn did I want Gunther to eliminate him
Ngl, the kids were on the edge of their seats and I was pulling hairs, and I was dreading either of them falling tbh.
Also, I love how you said "Pablo Escobar" the cartel boss for Santos Escobar 🤣
Gunther and Asuka were the stars of the rumble. The commentary was funny as hell.
Asuka spent most of the match on the corner after her 1st minute
For anyone who knows Asuka's pre WWE wrestling days it was truly epic seeing her come back in her old look. Gunther just a solid iron man performance and I'd have been happier with him winning than Mid Card Cody.
The commentary was funny throughout the show in my opinion, especially during the men's title match.
I'm pretty sure mcafee worked without a script. he didn't know who chad gable was, he made numerous mentions of the ridiculous banger bros, calling dominic a "prison bitch", actually saying "suplex city BITCH", stuff like "he's a hole of an ass", among other things.
he elevated the already brilliant match imo. because the other 2 announcer are boring when they can't play off of mcafee
Yeah gargano’s music sounded like it was a sound test in an empty arena. You could here it echo.
Please do more watch along. Royal Rumble 1992 commentary was amazing.
Give Gunther all the flowers! So impressed and excited to see him last the match. Add to the fact he's surrounded by other solid wrestlers who won't make him look dumb
"They started the show with it" - Jim Cornette
Weird to say but I'm excited about the future in WWE haven't said that in a while...or felt that way in a while
This was an awesome Rumble. Satisfying stories honored by Seth and Cody, Bobby and Brock, Gunther and Sheamus, Edge and the Judgement Day, and was high quality throughout most the bout. Loved the Gunther/Brock stare down. Still hoping for that at WM.
It was funny when Finn Balor tripped when edge was chasing him lol
I been waiting on Jim Cornette response to the royal rumble 😂👏🏾💯
Same here lol
Only just watched this yesterday. But yeah match was great but I felt done after the men's RR lol. Loved Edge coming back his pop was about as big as last time, but I was a little annoyed he got eliminated so quickly. My favourite part was Booker T coming out, and doing his thing, and you could tell he was gonna get thrown out immediately. My mvp's of this match were Gunther, Sheamus, Drew, Cody, Seth. And an honorable mention to Richochet, and Logan Paul. Their spot was insane.
That spot will make it into the RR montages from now on, I'm telling you
I was in the arena. It was not cold in SA. At all. Haha.
It is cold this week though.
I had the same feelings about the rumble placement. The running puns on the other hand 😂😂😂😂.
i love Beth's hair at Rumble! looked so cool
I can't help but feel they missed out on Cody getting an even bigger pop. First by announcing he will be in the rumble instead of keeping it a secret and secondly placing him at 30 instead of 29 or 28 because at 30 you know he's definitely next so again the surprise is ruined.
Crowd was completely flat when he came out. Edge got a huge pop.
I know it’s fake but I’ve always thought it was dumb that eliminated guys can eliminate someone still in the Rumble.
1992 hulk hogan did it to sid justice
When Gable and Woods were amateur wrestling I said the exact thing Corny said!
Thanks Jim for the MadTV reference. 😂 Lowered Expectashuuuunz.
Here we go! I have been anticipating this so much
I saw Cody at a Fan event in 2015 before WM31, when he was active as Stardust. He lived that gimmick and was such a gentlemen to myself and my wife. He has always taken risks, even if he personally doesn't believe in something, and I'm glad to see he is finally getting the chance he deserves. They missed a huge opportunity not doing this during his 'dashing' days, his character then should have been pushed more but the title scene was filled with more personalities.
Yup met him as “undashing” at a grocery store signing back when I was like 8 after WM27 and he was done with the signing in the back leaving, still met up with me in the back, lived the gimmick was as rude as you could be to a 8 year old while still making it a good memory, took a picture, my favorite experience meeting a wrestler.
That's. Cool because I was thinking he'd. E cocky or arrogant because he kinda looks like he would but that's cool he's freindly
