Women’s rumble took forever. Needs to be cut in half. There aren’t enough names to care about.

Exactly, I've watched the Mae Young and NXT episodes and it still took me a second to recognize some of them.

It's like the '97 Rumble where a third of the entrants were luchadores

That works better.

Jeff Jarrett and Elias in the ring to start?

What a terrible start...two huge douchebags

Rollins wins. Nia Jax knocks out R-Truth when he entered at 30, taking his spot. Nia eliminated Ali, but Ziggler kicked her and Orotn/Rey hit their finishers. Fuck Nia.

I watched a fast forwarded version of the Rumble. Pretty bad.

I was rooting against Rollins since I heard he was going to win and I like unpredictability.

The whole two belt smackdown raw thing still doesnt work for me.

How big is Seth Rollins? Like where does he rank among WWE superstars popularity/being over?

Kinda want a Double J light up hat.

I would say he's the biggest male face in the company. I heard he's doing more promotional and charitable work, so that signifies what they think of him. To me, he has all the tools to be a big deal.


Also not a fan of the two-belt setup. 1 male world champion, 1 female world champion, and 1 tag team champions. IC title can stay on Raw, U.S. on Smackdown. Wouldn't be surprised to see this arrangement when they start appearing on Fox.

Ambrose non-renewing his contract in April.

_________________

Vince seem to be getting worried, notice he is offering some of these guys larger contracts. I read Ambrose was offered a nice deal. AEW needs to come to an agreement with a TV deal ASAP.

Thanks for the info.

The split has stopped me from getting back into it a couple times

Wow...so Ambrose and Ziggler are going to walk. I thought it was kind of weird that WWE put out a breaking news press release on Ambrose not renewing.

That's my purse! I don't know you!

I would bet money, Balor and Styles would be next.

Yes on Balor, but AJ stays.

Ziggler and Ambrose are not big losses. Both need a new start and it allows some of the recent/future NXT callups to move into good spots.

Nah. AEW needs to negotiate the right TV deal. I could be wrong, but I don't expect them to have a weekly TV program until September.

Once AEW signs Kenny O on the dotted line, I'm sure the big 3 networks will be scrambling to sign AEW to counter Smackdown on Fox this Fall.

Wait.....wait....holy fuck it cant be. Its fucking drop in....great the bored really is going to shit. I'm sure the world will end now....only need ivan to post now and I can die.

Wonder what plans Nakamura has? His contract could be coming due next year and he's been kind of nothing on Smackdown.

I like Omega, but not sure his over the top interviews work in the States 100% of the time like they do in Japan.

KI, I've never asked you for much. But..........

I know he's worked on his English, but he needs a mouthpiece. It's a speaking business and too many times no one could understand him during a promo; kills whatever message he was trying to deliver.

Maybe ROH or AEW; seems like he wants to stay in the U.S.
