Imagine a 4 hour show and they are still in overtime.

 

We never really got that Bella vs Bella feud from a number of years ago. They had to get the belt off AJ Lee first

Please keep the spirit of puro alive by putting over the spiritual successor to Misawa, Nikki Bella

I never realized how much I want to see Nikki vs Asuka until tonight.

crowd literally looks like it could not care less Asuka won

smh wwe pandering to the japanese crowd

That was a pretty anticlimactic finish.

Man, Asuka is up there with anyone in terms of kayfabe, she's dominated for almost 3 years straight.

I never realized how much I want to see Nikki vs Asuka until tonight.

 

Right?

 

Now go back 6 years and imagine yourself saying you want to see KANA vs Nikki Bella. . .

 

*brain explodes*

Asuka whiffed that kick to eliminate Nikki lol.

 

That way overdelivered in my expectations. Excellent match.

Shinsuke Nakamura & Asuka winning. How amazing.

 

And really, the women's Rumble, after somewhat of a shaky start, developed into a legit excellent one. My crazy theory ? The French announcers mentioned talking with Pat Patterson earlier in the day. So there...

Alexa with the six inch heels to not look like a smurf.

Das Angle.

OMG! I was not expecting Ronda after we didn't get her in the Rumble match. NICE fake-out!

She points at the sign ! Ah ah ah.

THEY ARE LETTING HER COME OUT TO JOAN JETT

Don't know how to feel about that.

Well that was quite a show. Great weekend for WWE.

Well, which of you predicted it would end with Ronda pointing at the sign?

 

That was a lot of fun.

The matches weren't very good (well, AJ's was quite good), but the two Rumble were legit great. It's past 5 hours in the morning. Off to bed people. It was fun.

Ronda Rousey as Stephanie McMahon's stand-in.

 

The Corporate Champ.

Ronda doing her mean face while pointing at the Mania at least makes for a good picture to circle mainstream media.

 

 

Damn good show, btw. WAY better than I expected.

Ronda smiling and pointing wasn't the best look. I'm pretty sure they'll make it work but Mike Tyson this was not.

So I guess they are still playing into the Stephanie and Rousey situation from WM 3 years ago? Or Stephanie completely fucked up how important that was

 

According to ESPN it is a full time contract to the WWE. Not a one time thing. Maybe not a Brock whenever the fuck he feels like it thing

THEY ARE LETTING HER COME OUT TO JOAN JETT

 

I have been wondering all night what they would do musically if she showed.

 

It was the right choice.

Honestly, that was the best main roster WWE PPV in a long, long time. Both Rumbles were fantastic. The undercard wasn't as strong, but nothing was truly terrible.
