When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I saw Dusty Rhodes coming out of the public bathroom (although to be fair the Tucson Convention Center is pretty lovely, there might not be a backstage bathroom) but also did not talk to him.



I basically lived with someone living that gimmick in the pre-9/11 2000s, it's extreme try hard. He probably has swords at home.

Ronda winning the Royal Rumble would have been bad. Asuka winning it is good. Ronda generating a ton of hype is probably good. End communication.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN
That was without a doubt the best Rumble in years. Great winner (if sorta telegraphed) in Nakamura, Balor looked like a million bucks, Reigns didn't win, the new generation v. old generation stuff, Ziggler got eliminated right away, great Kofi spot, etc. etc.

I was worried about the Women's Rumble just because I thought the crowd would be totally worn out, but it was a lot of fun. The Rousey intro was cool if expected, Asuka winning was great, and it was fun to see Trish, Lita, Jacqui, Beth and whoever else I'm forgetting.

Great PPV. The Universal Championship match was hot garbage though.

While I understand the people who feel like Asuka was upstaged, I don't agree. What people are going to remember about this is that both Champions and the Rumble Winner faced off with the person the general public considers to be the greatest female fighter in the world. It was a powerful image for the three best the company has to offer to stand off against her. And the moment when Asuka slapped her hand away and they both smiled was more than worth any theoretical loss of shine.

I'm really hoping we'll see a Fatal Fourway at Mania now. Asuka v Alexa and Ronda v Charlotte or vice versa wouldn't be the same as putting all four of them on equal footing.

The best part of Ronda being in the WWE is now they have another female wrestler that they can talk about entirely in terms of an old male wrestler.

I hope Rousey goes away fast and never returns. I also hope Asuka basically gets to get carried out to the ring one day by a hoard of dudes on a golden throne.

E: I am also fine with this if Asuka ends up draped in two belts and beaming at the end of Wrestlemania.

I was also team leader on team 25 for the Royal rumble and even though titus sucked it big time Asuka came thru

Agreed, especially since Ronda also sold it perfectly.

Also the people screaming NOBODY CARES ABOUT RONDA, uh, I guarantee you more people care than this forum thinks.

I thought Piper gave her his personal blessing to use his branding when she was still in UFC. She came out tonight wearing one of his old jackets personally gifted to her by Roddy's son.

I agree with this, Asuka slapping away Ronda's hand was perfect in the "I don't care WHAT you did or WHO you were in MMA, this is my ring!" manner.

Takeover owned, Rumble owned, great weekend of wrestling friends. And at least we're guaranteed one spectacular world title match at Mania this year :)

MMA to wrestling doesn't always work, I hope it translates well for her, could be big if it did, and they don't gently caress up the booking. Which they will. Because they always do.
