My only complaint about either Rumble was that Kairi Sane did not do well and got unceremoniously tossed by Dana Brooke of all people. Other than that, great stuff

I liked how Philly booed the poo poo out of Maria and Stephanie at the start. I'm really glad Stephanie didn't speak to the crowd. Shoenin posted:Deadwoman getting 4 elims I would be bothered by but she looked pretty good despite being retired.

Jerusalem posted:Also I really, really dug Sasha going heel during the Rumble. Yeah, that was some good storytelling/character work mid match. I was disappointed they went with Asuka vs the Bellas at the end because I thought they had been booking well to Sasha vs Asuka much of the match. And Becky probably should have been in the mix too. But that's nitpicky. It was generally a well booked match, especially working with at least a 1/4th of the participants who had no place being in the ring.

CarlCX posted:I feel like everything outside of the Rumbles was questionable, but the Royal Rumbles at Royal Rumble 2018 were really fuckin' good, so the show is good. yeah same, i was actually kinda eh on some of the other stuff but i loved the rumbles, so yeah it was good as heck. the final four was great. nak/roman was great and, yes, tailor made for the biggest reactions possible. the only thing missing from the womens rumble for me was nikki cross. maybe next year... im guessing vickie was the alicia replacement, which, hell, worked.

I was momentarily worried they might have Nikki win, so going with them at the end really helped build the suspense. Michelle loving McCool had the closest thing to a monster run in the rumble and it seemed like every time a old school woman would enter they would eliminate some young up and comer. It's kind of strange comparing it to nostalgia runs in the mens rumble where they almost always get clowned immediately.

That show was soooooooo goddamn awesome live. The Women’s Royal Rumble was loving booked to perfection. I almost wonder if Stephanie had Pat work on it.

Fentry posted:I didn't quite get what they were going for at the end but this is the first rumble in several years where I'm not actively mad afterwards Agreed. Like, it would have made a small bit of sense if Asuka picked Alexa and then Rhonda came out to challenge Charlotte. But whatever, that’s just nitpicky After years of bad Rumbles, WWE knocked it out of the park with two great ones. I think having all the legends return really made it a lot of fun, so kudos to them for making a 30 Woman Rumble work with a main roster of 20.
