I am genuinely impressed that Adam spent more time booking a Kofi/Ricochet/Escobar elimination escape spot than WWE probably spent booking last year's Rumble match
i love that almost a year ago everyone agreed "Cody Rhodes wins rumble and beats Reigns at Mania 39" and through sheer storytelling magic almost everyone has changed to "Cody can have next year, Sami Zayn win pls"
And just to think. In one year from a comedy match against the Jackass Crew to one of the most exciting possibilities in WWE for WM this year. I don't watch WWE that much anymore, but I will watch the Rumble and I do hope that there will be some really nice controversy within the Bloodline.
When wrestlers get this organically hot… it’s special. The “ucey” movement is almost as big as the “yes” movement where the fans have spoken. This really should be Sami’s turn.
It's been 3 years since Adam Blampied joined Wrestle Talk & PFK, did the Board Games (No Rolls Barred) channel, and so much more. I'm happy for the guy and everything the PFK crew has done for us and enjoy Pro-Wrestling, even accepting the good, the bad & the ugly side of the business/sports entertainment.
@@kingofsting19 hardcore texan fans + thousands more from around the world not getting excited for a few minutes of cool spots in a ROYAL RUMBLE match? Are we in another universe? Lmfao 😂
@@kingofsting19 he only mentioned the over the top spots mainly for Ricochet, Escobar and Kofi, all back to back. Other than that, there’s nothing that’s continuously crazy. Relax.
never had I realized I wanted something so much and not known until Adam made the suggestion of Nakamura and Tajiri squaring off... I NEED TO SEE THAT!!!!!! Will WWE just consult Adam for occasional booking pitches already, the man is freaking UNREAL at this!
I love your booking videos, particularly Rumbles. However, it would be great if Rumble videos would have some sort of tracker at the bottom, like the faces of the wrestlers that have entered the Rumble with them being greyed out when they are eliminated. It would be a very helpful visual aid, particularly for people who have to pause the video due to something coming up and resume it later on.
This would be very helpful, Adam is a great storyteller, but there were a few times I thought Cody and Seth were out when oh they are still in this thing
I love that Adam’s prediction did indeed age immediately as his booking began with the bloodline acknowledgment ceremony that did not happen. Still a fantastic fantasy Rumble and I nearly died laughing at the Finn riding Priest to the ring portion. Serves me right for listening to this in the car.
How about "How Adam would book the streak" who would Adam have from Takers first Mania to retirement?... Think that would be an epic video going through each year at Mania crafting the perfect list of opponents
Nicely-done. Almost every entrant gets a memorable moment, key eliminations set up further matches, it tells two separate stories that get resolved in a head-on collision at the end, and the fan favorite gets the win. Color me impressed!
And then what? All anyone says about Sami is how great the moment will be, but that's bad booking. You have to have a plan going forward and apart from maybe am Owens feud any interest involves Roman, the real star to Sami's sidekick
Best outcome is Sami and Roman at elimination chamber in Canada, Sami will lose sorry not sorry, then you can have him and Roman work a program without the title after he costs him it at WrestleMania against either the rock or Cody
@@joekerr1607 The Rock and Cody are narratively much less satisfying than Sami Reigns at Mania, Rock Reigns doesn't need a title and Cody needs an actual build other than show up and get handed opportunity. The best thing for Mania is to push the story actually happening on the product and reward long term booking. You can put Cody in the elimination chamber and have him fall short to begin building a 1 on 1 towards mitb or SummerSlam and make a much more compelling match
@@joekerr1607 but what happens if it goes the other way and you stick to your guns and then Cody gets the Batista treatment when Sami is right there over like rover and there’s already a massive layered story there
Whilst I think Sami winning is a great choice, and makes alot of sense storyline wise, I think El Generico coming back to life and winning the Royal Rumble could be really exciting
There is just one thing that i would love to see in this version of the rumble. Its Rock and Austin standing in the ring mirroring the 2001 rumble. Apart from that, fantastic booking, as usual
Problem is if you watch this before the rumble you’re always going to be disappointed at the real thing as it’s never as good Edit: accidentally skipped ahead and saw Blampied in the birthing position. I take it back.
I truly think Cody has to win the Rumble. This is a much longer story than Sami and Sami's story is unbelievable. But Cody is the guy who was overlooked for Roman. Roman was always Vince's guy. Cody thought he should be Vince's guy but he was never good enough. Now he goes out to prove his worth start a competitor to Vince and then he comes back to win the one thing that alluded him. And to truly be the guy, he has to beat the guy who was picked over him and end the historic reign of Roman.
I'm here from the post rumble to tell ya- You did it better. Your rumble actually tells a story. Real Rumble felt like it was just- building for Cody to come in and win.
Although I loved how the Bloodline story played out IRL at the rumble, I agree that with Adam that Sami should've eliminated Cody to win. This year's RR wasn't BAD, it was just slightly bland. There weren't many separate little stories going on, or memorable spots really (aside from Ricochet and LP), and the winner was predictable - which, could still work, but overall I felt it was a little underwhelming. Better than last year's though.
Sami Zayn should NOT win the rumble. He doesn’t have the look to be a main event level star and definitely not during wrestlemania season when you need to draw as many viewers as possible.
What I want to happen is the last 2 is Zayn and Cody. Roman comes out and yells at Sami to eliminate Cody. Zayn and Cody look at each other and eliminate themselves at the same time forcing Roman to defend a title on each night at WrestleMania
This would be so great, fully separate the titles to create more directions for the story! can end the Roman’s hood on both at the same Mania, or retain one, or even retain both via shenanigans and have it all blow over at summer slam!
I wasn't against the booking of the actual match. But man the ending to Adam's booking made the hair on my arms stand up in anticipation. That would have been such good story telling
Horrible booking. Why would Sami Zayn just turn on Roman in the middle of the Rumble? If he would have won the Rumble it would have been better to have Roman turn on him at EC in Montreal for nuclear heat.
That was really bloody good mate. Somehow it felt short on “current” wrestlers, but if the Rumble is as good as yours, we are in for a treat. Can’t be worse than last year at any rate… right?😅
I am genuinely impressed that Adam spent more time booking a Kofi/Ricochet/Escobar elimination escape spot than WWE probably spent booking last year's Rumble match

love him though. Best in wrestling infotainment
"Did the board game channel" No Rolls Barred is the best thing related to WrestleTalk.
i cannot fathom that being 3 years
lets not talk about how he ended up in WT though hahahah
Haven't watched wrestling for some years and I remember there was a controversy with this dude what happened lol
This look for Adam is surprisingly nostalgic... Thank you for all the content you've made, Adam.
Helped bring me back to pro wrestling, with his work at what culture and pfk.
Just missing the red chairs in the background
The Plumpy/Pacitti connection was special
I was expecting a cheesy smile and a ding. 😆😆😆😆
The main reason I enjoy Adam's booking so much is because he always finds the best way to showcase as many wrestlers and their characters as possible.
Honestly, that's what the rumble used to do before it became cheap pops and nostalgia.
I can’t wait for *in the words of Adam Blampied* “ADRENALINE IN MY SOUL, CODY’S WINNING THE RUMBLE - oh wait that didn’t work”
Something something Cody Rhoads
It worked 🤣🤣
Rumble Winner Cody Rhodes
@@ronburgundyspetfish Sock Puppet Sullivan with which accent? Brooklyn? French?
Adam- “All generations of The Bloodline celebrate the Tribal Chief” well that aged faster than Rey Mysterio’s WWE title reign

The most anticipating episode of this series is finally here.
Ok Simon 🤣
Gimmick infringement!
The best time of the year - made EVEN BETTER by all these wrestling talkshow and channels. YOU'RE ALL AWESOME!
I don't think I've ever been hurt more than when Adam reminded us that Edge and Cena's rivalry was seventeen years ago.
I feel on death's door now.
I’m more intrigued by this year’s Rumble than I have been in a while and this video just hyped me up even more.
Why is no one talking about the best line of the video? Seth Rollins saying "ask The Man, I can go all night long."
Nicely-done. Almost every entrant gets a memorable moment, key eliminations set up further matches, it tells two separate stories that get resolved in a head-on collision at the end, and the fan favorite gets the win. Color me impressed!
This would be the best rumble if it went this way! Hell of a job, Adam!
Sami deserves the world. Give him a real prize for the way he's carried the company over the past 6+ months
And then what? All anyone says about Sami is how great the moment will be, but that's bad booking. You have to have a plan going forward and apart from maybe am Owens feud any interest involves Roman, the real star to Sami's sidekick

King: “It’s him aaah!”
JR: “Baw gawd it’s the return of the black haired plumpy!”
A small terrible part was hoping that during Logan and Jake’s beatdown on Cena, the next person to come out
was Cena’s son, Fred Figglehorn
Whilst I think Sami winning is a great choice, and makes alot of sense storyline wise, I think El Generico coming back to life and winning the Royal Rumble could be really exciting
Sami Zayn is eliminated, all hope seems to be lost, up until number 30...
El Generico died looking after orphans
@@Codewordthecerealkiller0 "coming back to life"
Wdym back to life? He will be watching the match with the kids at his orphanage
@@B_Brayne I thought the orphanage got set on fire and El Generico ended up eating some of the kids in an attempt to survive
Dude. How the F are you not the head writer and booker for the WWE and AEW? I know that you are not the one THEY want, but you are the one WE NEED!
This was horrible. Why have Sami Zayn eliminate The Rock? Thats literally the only possibility of Sami Zayn getting boo'ed in the Rumble match.
And it's even more unfortunate that this will be the first year without a "How Adam Would Book: The Royal Rumble 2024"
adam's redemption arc on WT and PFK has been my favourite part of the last 3 years
Driving to the rumble and listening to this had been pure joy!
I think this is the first time… in a long time might I add, that I’m torn if I like WWE’s booking or Adam’s booking more 😂
Likewise 😂
It's hard to imagine the ending being better than it was. Plus Adam got to use The Rock and Cena.
It amazes me just how well you can book storylines. Banger after banger after banger 🔥
Love you Adam. Thanks for always giving us such entertaining videos to watch.
There is just one thing that i would love to see in this version of the rumble. Its Rock and Austin standing in the ring mirroring the 2001 rumble. Apart from that, fantastic booking, as usual
Adam's hair brings back a lot of nostalgia.
ITS FINALLY HERE!!!!!
I need to see this idea you created for Kofi, Santos, and Ricochet at the actual Royal Rumble, that is a genius idea
Gunther entering at number NEIN popped me more than it should.
I will be at the Rumble! 4hr road trip, here I come!
That introduction for finn balor (im not even gonna bother typing it tbh) was the best sentence ever formed in the english language.
Videos like this releasing hype me up just as much for royal rumble season vs the actual buildup the show gives
This is the best booking video I’ve seen you make in a while. Laughed several times and had a few surprises!!!
Never clicked faster on a notification
thank you Adam, these are so enjoyable to watch and always bring a smile to my face. thank you
BRILLIANT! Gosh how I wish this would happen. No matter what Sami needs to pull the trigger on the Bloodline before they get him.
"Tajiri still has it as he showed in the cruiserweight classic"....7 years ago...times flies
Cody won and while cool, it’s kinda meh cuz we all knew he was already in the match so there was no point of him being the 30th entrant
i’ve been checking the page every day waiting for this
I really hope WWE realizes the Daniel Bryan-esque situation they're in and book Sami winning the rumble. Amazing booking as always
In a rare twist, this would _not_ have been better than the rumble card we got
Problem is if you watch this before the rumble you’re always going to be disappointed at the real thing as it’s never as good
Edit: accidentally skipped ahead and saw Blampied in the birthing position. I take it back.
That spot with Dom, Gunter, and Braun would be amazing. Great booking as always.
gaddamnit i miss you plumpy
Oh, I got to tell you, it was perfect. Perfect. Everything, down to the last minute details
I get more excited for this than I actually do for the rumble

Been waiting so long for this!!!!!!!!
When Adam said, "that was 17 years ago" I felt that!
Amazing video. I'm super hyped! Hopefully it is anywhere near this good! Great time to be a wrestling fan
Give this man his roses. Absolutely amazing rumble. I’d be so excited to see ANY of this actually happen!
As a person at the Rumble, the Men's match was so good, that it kinda burnt out the crowd for the rest of the night.
Watching these booking is always a double-edged sword. Highly entertaining video, and depressing knowing the actual rumble probably won't be as good.

That final 2 would make that building NUCLEAR. People would lose voices and hearing from that Adam. Well done.
Great video, sounds like a fun rumble
Dark haired Adam is nostalgic, in a weird way. Reminds me of first getting into wrestling, largely because of him tbh.
Adam: “Muta hits with his own green mist because he invented it.”
The Great Kabuki: “And I took that personally.”
This would be the greatest/most elaborate rumble of ALL TIME if this all actually happened
Honestly, this was perfect. I love Adam's booking style and would, 100%, watching any wrestling promotion in which he was creative lead.
brilliant as always ...would love a big e return as well!
I now have an unreasonable expectation of Great Muta being in the Rumble.
Fun pitch.
"Entering at number NEIN!!" 🤣🤣 You ruddy genius!
The way he explains it, I can literally watch the entire rumble in my mind and it's bloody awesome.
All joking aside, it's great to see Plumpy with his natural locks again.
Been waiting for this one
I’ve been rewatching all the other rumble content just waiting for this to come out.
There’s one upcoming event in particular I would love to see Adam Blampied tackle. How Adam would book the revival of Ring of Honor.
Beautiful!! My jaw dropped with the Helluva Kick spot. Popped me. Well done Adam!!
You booked the Hell outta this Rumble!!!! I want to see this 💪🏽
I love the vintage look Adam! Ding!
