Ember and Adam Cole shouldn't have been there. Kayfabe wise they wouldn't have been cleared to wrestle in 24 hours.

shyt made no fukking sense.

I thought this show was dope. I was entertained by pretty much every thing outside of the raw tag match. I actually enjoyed both rumbles although the ending was kinda a little much for me with the Ronda introduction which should have been the 11pm angle tomorrow. But I can't play like this isn't a big deal for WWE there gonna be a mainstream talking point for the next 24-48 hrs.

She was overrated and underrated at the same time.

Hard to describe her. She was athletic and could go in the ring which is why she got overpushed. The problem was that she didn't really connect with the crowd and still constantly pushed her regardless of the Conway heat she would get.

good analogy....ladytaker wasnt bad in the ring just like Conway wasnt bad...I just couldnt give a shyt about either of them

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

They would've just been better off having her point at the sign and then leave

Point at the sign, stare at the champs, go for the handshake, handshake denied, stare and point at the sign again sequence was

Or better, have her show up at Raw because we still gotta figure out who Asuka is challenging. The whole entire segment was just WWE being WWE by busting their load quickly, instead of embracing foreplay with the booking.

double

Rousey is so awful, she couldn't even stay serious at all, no wonder why Hollywood gave her the treatment.

Yea I’m thinking she was suppose to have the mean mug and just get in the ring, do the sign point, and confront Asuka. But hushed clearly broke character several times. Her promos are going to be hilarious

but then i wouldv hae been wrong. and would you really want that? would anybody really want that? no, no they would not.

She was doing the damn can-can
Lita just sitting there

Yeah, good thing that she had Layla with her whom she had great chemistry with. Layla single-handedly saved her career from obscurity.

 

[NYChase718]

I noticed stephanie
Got excited for a couple people
And no sold a couple entrances like mickie james

 

[folasade]

but that would mean charlotte would be taking the l.

Both of the champs are.

 

[Rell84shots]

Who is this?

Bianca Belair, She's a damn good wrestler in nxt and should've been in the rumble. Instead they found room for Vickie's tired ass gimmick. Also who bright idea was it to have Lita & Trish not square off?

 

[StatUS]

That's what made the whole entire segment worse. Asuka just won a "grueling" rumble, so both champions come in the ring for Asuka to choose. Fair enough as Asuka licks her thumb and twirls around like it's her arena (as it is her arena). Out comes Ronda with the most ridiculous theme song period. Smiles and giggles like a 9th grader on orientation. Gets in the ring looks serious but smiles. Serious look once again and smiles at Asuka while giving out daps and reps. Asuka undaps the dap, fair enough. She gets out the ring and bounces like a 7th grader towards Stephanie. Shakes her hand with a serious look while gives up daps/reps at the audience.

Like what in the living hell am I suppose to do as a watcher/fan/human?

• Cheer
• Boo
• Be shock
• Confuse
• Happy
• Angry

WTF was that

WWE likes to build tension to a will they or won't they moment. You were supposed to think Ronda was gonna lay them all out but she just smiled, pointed, and went on her way. Opposite of when Brock came back and laid out Cena.

Problem is they kinda took the spotlight of Asuka (until she took it back with the hand slap) then put everything on Steph and Ronda like we're supposed to think there's someone else behind her being there (Trips, Vince, or Heyman probably).

 

[PTBG]

Isn't she currently filming though?

IDK what movie she doing now, but they tried giving her that legit mainstream push with Fast & Furious, Road House, and even hosting Saturday Night Live and she was awful at that and stopped getting that forced push afterwards.

Velveteen Dream would have made that place explode . Adam Cole just had a damn war with Aleister. Made no sense. Just that visual of Dream walking all slow down that ramp while the guys in the ring hit that would have been worth the moment.
