Oh, and Ronda Rousey didn't show up. Oh well....

What a surprise... not! But it wasn't too bad overall, and I'm happy for my girl Carmella, she did good.

At least the right person won in Asuka. 2 Japanese wrestlers win the Rumble this year. Not bad at all.

That womens royal rumble was great until rowdy ronda rousey showed up. That was fucking stupid.

I agree. This was supposed to be Asuka's moment.
Behold the morning star
Really, it was all the womens moment. They closed the show, and then bam. My volume was off since my daughter is sleeping next to me. Did she get a pop?

At least they didn't ruin Auska's streak by having Rousey in the Rumble and winning it.

It was stupid on many levels. Those pointing moments from her were cringe-heavy, and that handshake with Steph... I mean, should I be mad?

Thought it was a pretty good show. Very rare we get a good rumble match within the course of a few years. We got two good ones in a single night. Insane that two Japanese stars got the rub. Very happy for them.
Rousey debut was pretty cool. It did kinda overshadow Asuka's win some. I don't think it really matters in the long scheme of things though. Wrestlemania is definitely shaping up to be a good one this year. A little bittersweet that I chose not to go.
What's even more crazy is that Rousey is going to be full time. Wouldn't have guessed that at all.

I was actually fine with how everything went. If you didn’t follow UFC, Ronda disrespecting everyone makes perfect sense for her WWE character (she’s even using her UFC walk out music). Asuka smacking her hand away was an appropriate response. The handshake with Steph was a callback to her Wrestlemania moment a few years back.
The sign pointing IS dumb but that’s a Vince thing.
Congrats to Nakamura as well. He and AJ will easily have the best match at Mania.
The only match that was terrible was the battle of the big dumb guys for the Universal title but I don’t know anyone who expected it to turn out any other way. Can’t wait for Master Blaster and Not The Guy to stink up the joint in the main event of Mania but I take comfort in knowing AJ/Nakamura is the real main event.

The sign pointing is kinda ridiculous. They gotta get those shots.

I have a feeling it's going to be Rousey vs. Charlotte at WrestleMania likely for the Blue Women's title. Asuka smacking her hand away was perfect but the Steph handshake was bad. The RRP thing is fine for now.
If I remember correctly, Lesnar is considered fulltime as well, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Ronda handled the same - promos, staredowns and brawls on free TV with the actual fights happening on PPV. Charlotte makes sense for her first match since it'll be horsewoman vs. horsewoman and you can lump in Becky, Sasha and Bailey with Shayna and the other two MMA horsewomen for a power walk down to the ring at WM. Charlotte also makes sense because she's the likeliest to take care of Ronda for what I assume will be her first match.

I'm thinking Asuka/Charlotte. I doubt it's going to be Asuka/Bliss, again. We got that recently with Asuka going over. No sense in that again when they just gave it away for free.
I'm also not sure how far along she is with her training either. A gimmick tag match might be a safe bet to cover up her flaws, if any.
Rumor is Rousey and someone else in a tag match with Triple H and Steph. That one makes more sense to me. Not sure who her partner would be though. They want the rock but they're probably not going to get him. Maybe Braun. He's rumored to go against Miz which I find weird. Not sure what Angle is doing either. Assuming he's working mania.
This mania is looking to be pretty awesome.

Angle makes the most sense because of what they set up at Survivor Series. If they can get Rock, score, but if not, Angle already has that recent history with HHH so he could tag up with Rousey then.

It was to be expected, she's one of the hottest free agents for the WWE, i did liked to see her but i think she was just the excuse for the women's rumble...
Hairy Member
I don't think that's necessarily the case, but even if it was I wouldn't care. Even if Vince did all of it just to give Rhonda a showcase, the rest of the women on the roster are still going to benefit from it. I'm excited to see how to Women's Elimination Chamber match will shape up, and Rhonda won't have anything to do with that.
Matador de Froot Loops
Don't get me wrong, i know the WWE wanted to do a women's rumble for some time and after the Women's Hell in a Cell and Money in the Bank, it was only natural.
But i the end the match ended up being a showcase for Rhonda, i wonder if Rousey wasn't available? of course we would have gotten the RR match, but the media coverage would have been completely different.
But i do agree that the Women's division it's going to benefit from it, i want Rhonda to be similar to Brock (dominant), but also put people over.

It's no secret that she loves the business, so hopefully this negative feedback that's coming from the rest of the women's roster is just a work. I really hope she's not already making enemies in the locker room.
WTF is this Smackdown Top 10 thing about? It makes zero sense to me.

Do you think fans were upset at Mr. T's involvement at Wrestlemania 1?
No, they weren't.
Wrestling is about moments. we had a cool moment, and we didn't ruin Auska's streak..if Rousey was in the rumble, she would HAVE to win.
Everthing is okay, people.
Matador de Froot Loops
I'm glad she's in the WWE, it made a lot of sense and i hope she's mingling along, i know she has respect for the business.
If the women's division is going to be taken seriously she brings lots of cred to the table.
I'm happy it will be Nakamura/AJ at Wrestlemania, i think also it will be Cena /Taker, i'm not crazy about that match but if they are indeed bringing Taker back, that's a good match for him to (finally) retire.
Member
I don't want to see 'Taker wrestle. I really hope that doesn't happen.

I know. Booker's commentary has been ridiculous as of late. I'd wonder who would win a fight. Him or Corey?
Matador de Froot Loops
Yeah, i heard the shoot, i like Booker but i can understand Corey
