According to a reddit thread title that's probably true "The Lana/Lashley wedding has already surpass CM Punk's return on WWE on FOX Channel with whopping 5.4 Million Views and is the 3rd most watched video since the channel was created."

Well we did it to ourselves. We've made the wrestling Sharknado by continuing to tune in to see how bad it'll be.

I seriously feel like this year's Rumble is going to be extremely weak, both on the men and woman's side. The winners are both really obvious and not exactly popular choices (well, at least one isn't), and they'd already felt like they were running out of surprise entrants before AEW became a thing and snagged a bunch of the legends.

I was good and ready to pop for a Billy Gunn return too.

It's possible they have Bryan in the match and make it a three way. I get the feeling the Rumble match is gonna be a DQ or no contest or something. Because otherwise who would Bryan face? Baron Corbin?

Yes

There was a funny Up Up Down Down where Tyler Breeze basically said the same thing. "So right now we're the guys who go out there and cosplay as dudes from 15 years ago. You think in 15 years anyone is going to be cosplaying as Tyler Breeze?"

How do you even cosplay as anyone besides The Fiend or someone in a lucha mask?

Shouldn't put Sheamus hype package on right after Braun and Cesaro. All I'm remembering now is him losing to a 10 year old.


Well here we go, we got another 'I'm big and you're small!" heel since Cass is gone and Corbin is busy performing a writer's humiliation fetish stuff.

The WWE trope of someone pinning the champion in a non title match to win a shot at the title is so loving dumb. Much worse than automatic rematches.

It'd be cool once in a while to show a cocky champion underestimating his opponent and being surprised when he let his guard down. I'm gonna assume Shinsuke and his two friends that were also getting beaten up weren't underestimating Braun.

Part of Roman's intro accomplishments card being "Relative of The Rock" is cute. You'd think he's done enough in the last decade to fill a card without bringing that up.

I wonder if Nia Jax's card will be "Relative of The Rock", "Beat a 90 pound woman at Wrestlemania in about 20 minutes", and "Accidentally got someone more famous by punching them in the face".

I like how some years it's like "omg there's so many potential rumble winners, this is so unpredictable!" and others its "wait, who tf could possibly have enough momentum to win a rumble right now?"

Granted alot of the first reaction was us formerly thinking every nxt callup would be a big deal. Some people predicted Kofi this year but he just got pinned by miz...

Real talk, just once I'd like to see an actual shoot tag team boxing match. And nobody phoning it in cause its a gimmick match, all 4 guys trying their ASSES off.

Yes, but it's fake and we don't get to see JBL get knocked out.

And Rollins is in it.

With how fake WWE beatdowns look with the windmill forearming backs, I'm legit scared how bad this is gonna be. Like this could be House of Horrors bad. At least 5 people in this match don't deserve to be forced to try to make this work.

So according to the rules, its a no DQ, no countout, no pin, no submission match (would be so WWE if they still had to tag tho) and all 3 guys gotta get knocked out. So it seems it's a street fight match but you gotta get a 10 count ko, maybe they literally don't have to have all their offense be jabs.

I knew I shoulda counted how many punches were thrown during that fist fight, there's no way it was over 10.

I guess The Stomp is revived from The Fiend feud, it won a last man standing match in 1 stomp.
