Kurt Angle in the WWE HOF this year! His greatest moment since his Sharknado 2 cameo! He's said before in an interview that if he did return to WWE (apparantly Vince is concerned for his health if he takes a bad bump?) that he'd want a match with AJ Styles. I'd enjoy that. |

Rumble tomorrow night, NXT takeover tonight should be a good weekend, cannot wait, what Turnbull and Gav doing for it?

I'm conflicted, it would be nice to see him in the Rumble but also a wee bit of a waste.
Him against Styles would be good, and would save us from Styles v Shane O'Mac which is what they seem to be looking at.

Overall I enjoyed the Rumble but the actual Rumble match had more than a few WTF moments. Andy {Spoiler}No random surprise returns whatsoever? This is a let down, Tye Dillinger being the only "surprise" wrestler. I was genuinely surprised that Goldberg did it to Lesnar again in so speedy a fashion. When we got to 30 I had a sneaky feeling that Reigns would appear. Having Orton win is a massive letdown, and sets the scene for Orton/Cena at Mania...again. Really feel Jericho should have gotten the win here. Loved Styles/Cena - sorry to see Styles lose but that was a belter of a match.
So we can look forward to a Reigns/Taker match at Mania as well as Goldberg/Lesnar. |

{Spoiler}I slept through the under card, so I can't comment on that, and only watched the tag title match on the pre show.
The rumble itself was initially disappointing for me due to the lack of surprise entrants, but as I have said else where, thinking about it afterwards they announced non regular roster members Goldberg, Lesnar and The Undertaker before hand. Given the size of the roster these days any more would have been over kill. You have so many guys who didn't get in the match or appear on the show such as Smackdown tag champs American Alpha.
While the 40 man rumble a few years ago maybe didn't work, it maybe needed in future just to accommodate all the talent they have.
Personally I was disappointed with the winner as I was hoping they would try something different and fresh. I was hoping they would use the show match to elevate someone who has never won the rumble before, such as The Miz or Jericho, or someone who wasn't a multi time world champion. Sadly Orton is both a previous rumble winner and a multi time world champion, so him winning was a massive disappointment. I won't hide that I am not a fan of Orton as he just bores me. |

Highlights were Styles vs Cena (although how many AAs did we see Cena hit?), then that clothesline on Big Show from Strowman, Dean Ambrose convincing Ellsworth to face Strowman and that running clothesline on Enzo from Lesnar.
Finish moves need to be made special again. That is all.
ps pictures have emerged of buggies driving the Big Show etc to the ring for the rumble because that walkway was way too long.

Styles has been their MVP in the last 12 months.
An absolute top class athlete.
Yeah, the Ellsworth bit was funny, though I though Enzo deserved better than being jobbed the fuck out to Lesnar.

That was a nasty bump Ellsworth took. I did cringe at it.

yeah I agree on Enzo, styles is a beast, carried the smackdown brand to the superior ratings over raw!

Post by browny87 on Apr 5, 2017 10:13:36 GMT
yeah i did, highlights for me;
Tag Match, Raw Womans title match and AJ Vs Mcmahon,
Thought the rest was a bit naff in general and some of it was insanely contrived and cringey (Cena & Gronk)
On a random side note - Smackdown live has announced the card for MAy in Sheffield and the main event is Randy Vs Bray Vs Aj, depending on how Monday goes that is gonna be an awesome main event!

Aj vs Shane was pretty good I thought.
Actually thought the Raw women's match was a bit flat, needed to be a Fatal Four Way, rather than Elimination and the more I see of Nia Jax the more I harshly compare her to Awesome Kong.
Didn't mind Goldberg/Lesnar either.
Randy Orton is an awful face. Heel turn as soon as possible required.

I actually did watch it all which is unusual as I usually skip the pre-show. It was...OK. Not bad, but other than the ending I don't think people will talk much about this in the future. Nothing else was particularly memorable. In fact afterwards I had to check online who won the Wyatt/Orton match as I couldn't remember anything about it.
Enjoyed Styles/Shane and Jericho/Owens matches the most and the surprise in the tag team ladder match (although for the match itself, there has been a lot better).
I was also disappointed that Triple H's entrance wasn't dafter.

Yet to watch Wrestlemania.
I do think they need to do something though - 7 hours is killing the audience and later matches are being affected as the crowd just want to sleep.

Rousey has great potential.
Hope they don't make her a two move wonder like Lesnar.
