Like why can't they just say the Royal Rumble? Seems like they just started this in the last 5 years or so. For some reason, it's really annoying to me.

You're really annoyed by this tho'...

Like you hear 'Royal Rumble match' and it makes you frown your face up?

They say 'match' and you let out a sigh about it?

They neglect to just call it the Royal Rumble and it stops you in your tracks and momentarily perturbs you?

What?

FR FR, yes. Each time they say it something in my head says "that sounds weird. Why are they saying that!"

To distinguish between the ppv name and the battle royal match.

So it doesn't bother me.

Also, to me, the Royal Rumble is first and foremost a match and secondly a PPV. Thus, instead of adding match to distinguish the match, I would prefer if they added the world PPV when talking about non RR matches.

So, "Ambrose v. Owens at the RR PPV"

They've been calling it the "Royal Rumble match" since Howard Finkel was the ring announcer, breh.

"Don't say wrestling! Don't say belt! But make sure to distinguish between the Royal Rumble Event on the WWE Network and the Royal Rumble Match itself, GOD DAMN IT!"
