I'm excited for both rumbles.
The rest not that much.

Super pumped for the Rumble tomorrow, don't even care who wins. RR is my favorite event and this year I've stayed away from any kind of spoilers.

Is Beth Phoenix's head busted wide open? Back of her head?

Twitter and reddit seem pissed about Charlotte winning. Their comments suggests that she's not a **** mega talent and not obviously the top performer in the division.

Did someone have huge momentum going in that I'm just not aware of?

A know a lot wanted Bayzler to win.

My problem was that the ending was clunky. Why do that same thing twice with Bayzler coming towards Flair on the rope and getting caught with the legs? Looks like they messed up the first time and couldn’t improvise.

The ending was terrible but I wanted Shayna to win. I'm not upset that Flair won, though. I wish Belair would've lasted a bit longer and had a more dramatic elimination.

I know DB can get great matches out of anyone but it pisses me off how WWE wasted years of Wyatt's career.

Edge is in better shape now than he was in the last decade of his career.

Yeah, Edge looks great. No surprise to those that watch Vikings, though.

This rumble is really showing how much **** talent WWE has right now. The roster is stacked.

Ten years ago, 2/3 of the entrants were lower mid card guys, if not jobbers. Has there even been a jobber here tonight? They have so much star power and their product stinks.

That was a really great rumble. I believe we will srill be talking about this one in 5-10+ years.

Drew is an interesting choice. Crowd was totally behind him. He has some Roman potential though. And by that I mean he has potential to be loathed for getting a push. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.
