As someone who is not at all invested in the long-term booking or quality of WWE I found the Rumble to be perfectly enjoyable. Got to laugh at the absurdity of the Brock stuff, see the Edge nostalgia pop, get a couple of entertaining eliminations and see a guy who's pretty good win.

Yeah I would have cut the Brock thing in half. Make it 5 or 6 guys but stop after that. After he was gone it picked up and was pretty good.

The women's rumble had a great first half and pretty poor second half, with probably the worst possible winner.

The men's rumble had an abysmal/hilarious first half and a good second half, with a winner I feel good about.

Good for Drew. But I can't say I feel any elation or overwhelming positive feelings. Drew really took a big of a backseat for the final stretch of the match. I was way more invested in Old Man Edge vs Roman in that last stretch.

It was my first WWE PPV in a long while, and it had some really high points, but I don't think I could give it more than a B-grade, which is pretty poor for a Rumble.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

This is literally my opinion. Other than Brock making GBS threads up the Rumble and Charlotte winning over Shayna I thought that was a pretty drat good show.

In the spirit of gracious defeat characteristic of its namesake, John Kerry, I’d like to congratulate the winning team of this Rumble on behalf of the rest of team #14 and join everyone in saying “thank gently caress at least it wasn’t fuckin’ Roman again”

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Overall the rumble was trash, but Drew's performance in it was good killing off the two biggest heels (Brock, obvs, but also Roman got big heat for eliminating Edge, i can only hope that was the intention), they didn't murder Edge on live television, and there was some fun with Randy, so at least some ideas were good. At least some ideas were good is way above what WWE usually delivers these days.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Drew vs Brock doesn't strike me as a super compelling WM main event program.

Then again I suppose I'm looking at it from a "is WM worth giving a drat about?" perspective and not a "I'm gonna watch WM anyway so lets make it the best it can be" one. In which case I can get the "anyone but Roman" angle.

Lacey is really good actually
Ok after a little over 2 months off from wrestling, i gotta say it was an enjoyable show, the mens rumble dragged a bit just cuz of the first 13 eliminations, the womans rumble had a bit of an issue wrapping it up but shayna and beth both deserve praise, beth just for how hosed her head got. Other matches were servicable at worst and there was nothing grossly offensive outside of the brock poo poo and santina

charlotte wonder-womaning her entire time ruined the first rumble. about 20 minutes of the second one was watchable. none of the other matches were good. all in all, it was a great outing and i'm glad i watched the WWE royal rumble once again.

The first half was fun. I mean... the alternative was watching Bobby Roode struggling to throw Elias over the top rope in the corner for 5 minutes and whatever they gently caress they do to fill time.
