The Wrestling Thread Is Under...Siege! - - Part 248

[DarthSkywalker]

Seriously, did someone lock Vince in a closet tonight?

HHH.

Asuka should challenge them both and beat them both, on the same night.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Well, at least she didn't win. But way too overshadow Asuka winning.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Ronda is here!

 

[TheVileOne]

Honestly, I was wrong with both of my Rumble winner picks, and I have no problem with that. This was like best case scenario for both matches. It's so weird that I don't know how it actually happened other than HHH locking Vince in a closet as Bat Brain said.

Fine with the woman going on last, especially with Asuka coming out of it with a win. Asuka is awesome.

 

[Hotwire]

Okay... That was just weird.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Asuka is the best. t:

 

[Pink Ranger]

Not sure if that emoticon is clapping of fapping.

It's marking out.

Not always mutually exclusive.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I know this will be controversial one way or another, but having Ronda come out at the end raises the stakes and elevates the entire storyline now. The women's division is now the hottest angle going forward. It was a great women's rumble, and Asuka looked great winning it, but they needed a little bit more to justify this match ending the night, and this was it.

[DarthSkywalker]

So Dana White is screwed.

 

[Dr. Evil]

One of the two is going to have to go to Smackdown Live.

 

[Pink Ranger]

It should be Ronda vs. Charlotte. Ronda is still new to the business, and will need someone to carry the workload during the match. Alexa can't do that.

 

[The Chris]

That was the first Royal Rumble in a very long time that made me highly anticipate Wrestlemania. Just on the WWE title match and Rousey being a factor, possibly vs Asuka? Oh Lord!

 

[Hotwire]

Good point

 

[Dr. Evil]

I think it's too soon for Ronda vs. Asuka. But I liked the ending because it keeps Asuka still undefeated.

 

[SuperBatman]

Didn’t get to watch much but I did see the end of the men’s rr and so glad wwe didn’t pawn another Roman reigns win at a rumble. Even though it’s likely Roman will win the #1 contender at eliminator chamber. I doubt anybody really will care about Roman vs Brock at wm again if wwe is smart as vs shinsuke should be the main event but knowing Vince it’s going to Brock and Roman

 

[DarthSkywalker]

It should be Ronda vs. Charlotte. Ronda is still new to the business, and will need someone to carry the workload during the match. Alexa can't do that.

Ronda doesn't even seem to know how to walk and point.

I get the feeling they will build to Asuka/Ronda at WM 35.

 

[Doug_Moore]

Truly a historic night in WWE. Two Japanese wrestlers won the Royal Rumble on the same evening!!!

I agree because it makes sense, but Asuka Vs. Ronda is the money match.

At least nobody laughed maniacally like when Angle did when Lashley debuted in TNA.

 

[TheFuture]

I can live with Asuka being defeated by Rousey if done in the right way. For me it'd be an Austin type deal where she wouldn't actually submit, but pass out.

 

[The Chris]

That rumble made me want Asuka vs Sasha really badly.

 

[Mister J]

I only caught the women's Rumble, but was some good ****. The guest spots were a plus (loved the Trish/Mickie faceoff and reaction). I think it took the suspense out of things when Sasha was eliminated, but the end result was desired.

Haitch getting in on the Ronda scrum.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Surprised that she was allowed to use Bad Reputation in WWE.

The Men's was fantastic. Highly recommend watching it.

They're using the deferred royalty money that's been accruing since they stopped having to pay out for Cult of Personality.
