    Not to speculate too much, but the lack of Mercedes here could very well indicate that she’ll be appearing in AEW soon.

        Likewise! I don’t usually watch WWE but I’m usually here live for the AEW threads /TNA PPV’s. But if people aren’t here live they’ll often show up after the fact. I know Geek likes to watch these shows early in the morning, and he’ll usually respond to any comments you make. Same goes for others too. We’re all still trying to grow this place, slowly, brick by brick. Good to have you here man!

          It may be a small sample size, but so far the best thing here is that everyone is cool with each other. If we keep that vibe, this place will grow.

          I’ll make sure to pop in for Dynamite next week!

            Nice! And the vibes have happened really organically. A lot of us came over during the Reddit migration and I think many of us were just sick of how tribal the other /SC had become. So far, it’s really cool here. I like to think it’s like a friend’s basement where we’re all just hanging out, enjoying the show. Some of us stay sober, some of us have a few beers, some of us smoke, bit we’re all just bonding over our love of wrestling. No matter which show you watch.

              Last time I logged into Reddit there was craziness from multiple wrestling subs, so I’m thankful I found this place. Let’s keep the fun vibes going as long as we can!

    Big pop for Cody at the end there. I really like that finish, and not just because my son marked out past his bedtime. It was well put together and fairly unique when compared to past Rumble’s.

    Entertaining show and we’re well on the road to Mania now. Props to anyone who posted in here along with me, you folks are the coolest!

    Jade’s in. Her and Grace were the only two spoilers I was aware of. Hoping there’s a few more to surprises to come…

    I woke up late this morning (Manila local time) so I only got to started watching live during the Logan Paul vs. Kevin Owens match. I was so relieved the wrong finalist didn’t win the men’s Rumble match.

    Watching the PLE replay now, boy did my goosebumps raise with the surprise entrants to the women’s Rumble!

      I loved how they hit the surprises right from the get go. It kind of tempered my expectations for a big surprise later in the match, and in the meantime, the women worked so hard to keep the focus in ring. I’d have to rewatch, but in the now, I think the women’s match was slightly better than the men’s.

        I just saw on the women’s match the on-screen graphics for some of their time in the ring. Did they have that too for the men’s match? It didn’t show up on our Disney+ livestream

          I didn’t see it during the men’s match but it was definitely a welcome addition to the women’s. I’ll probably rewatch the show tomorrow so if the graphics pop up I’ll let you know.

    US and Universal Title matches are pretty easy to call, but both Rumble’s are intriguing. Becky/Bayley and Cody/Punk are the prohibitive favourites, but I smell the potential for a swerve. Very much looking forward to both matches.

      I’m looking forward to the Rumble’s. I don’t watch WWE regularly so I have no clue who the favourites are for the women’s match…but, unless the Rock makes an appearance, I’d say Cody/Punk make a lot of sense for the men.

      I’m guessing Logan Paul is the favourite in the US match?

        Feel like Punk is gonna win and guarantee his shot at Seth

        Cody can lose and overcome adversity at Elimination Chamber to face Roman again

          Can’t believe this is Punk’s first televised match in WWE. Feels like he’s been there for months by now lol.

        Yep. Can’t see any reason for him to drop the belt here when Mania is just a couple of months away, but the match should be good.

        I kind of zone in and out on WWE these days, but the Rumble to Wrestlemania season is usually when my attention is at its highest. It helps that my son is a huge Cody fan and basically treats him as a superhero, so you know who we’re cheering for tonight!

          The rest can be OK but definitely feel like filler

    No other result than Roman here, but I’m sure we’ll get a good match nonetheless. Just hope everyone else gets a good showing in defeat.

    WWE just totally leaning into the Slim Jim stuff here.🤣

      I saw it was spoiled, and I still was happy about it, she works hard and took a lot of flack for the voice change from the steroids, but she’s an excellent performer, I hope WWE gives her a look after this when her contract is up, assuming she wants to move.

        She didn’t look out of place at all in this match. But as a TNA guy I’d hate to see her leave…even though it’s be better for her bank account lol.

        I must have missed the voice change stuff (thankfully) but my impression was that she’s always gotten flack for being a mark for herself. However, the fact that she’s married to Gresham makes me wonder whether she’s just catching that by proxy. Great performer and definitely due a serious look from WWE when//if she wants to test the waters.

        TNA’s great! Might actually be my favourite wrestling show these days lol.

        And I know she won’t win this but I really hope Grace does well here. So far so good I think.

          I live relatively close to Windsor so it’s kind of my home promotion, at least whenever they’re in town. Already have tickets to Sacrifice in March.

          Grace had a good showing and a memorable elimination, so that’s about as good as we could have hoped for I think.

            Nice! I’m just north of the GTA. There’s a bunch of us Canucks here on Kbin. You, me, Geek, Cupcake.

            Agreed. She looked great. And commentary did a good job of making her seem like a big deal.

              Tellum, I feel that I must apologise for previously implying you were a Yankee.

              Happy to be part of the Canuck contingent!

              Commentary did a great job of selling Grace’s importance and that’s almost better than her actual showing in the ring. Very pleased with her performance and happy to see TNA/WWE being chummy. I feel like Scott D’Amore is very well respected in the industry and is arguably the best booker right now solely given what he’s working with compared to others. HBK is probably second, just due to getting so much out of raw talent.

                I agree about D’amore. I’ve said it in a few threads–the guy deserves to be Booker of the year or at the very least in the damn conversation.

                And it’s almost looking like TNA/WWE might have a partnership similar to AEW/NJPW. Probably won’t be doing any joint PPV’s soon but at least swapping talent here and there.

      I think so. One of her stablemates is the current champ on SD, so that story writes itself. I doubt she’ll challenge Rhea, but a swerve in that direction could be cool.
