that was absolutely brutal. a brutal night of "wrestling entertainment" this company is morphing into a womens wrestling organization and it sucks. it just sucks. that was a SIX HOUR pay per view event. SIX ING HOURS I understand the time is different out that way so it wasn't midnight in Arizona, but my god...you're literally starting the Royal Rumble when a normal PPV used to END. Just make the RR pay per view the 2 rumble matches and the 4 world title matches from now on. Should easily be able to fit that in 4 hours. And stop with the 90 second intervals, a minute is more than enough time. Or for the love of god just give women their own show like they want to, and have it be Rumble weekend....then we can decide if we want to watch it or not. Even advertise it that day, Tell us the womens portion is going to start at 4:30PM, do that 3 hour mess and then a half hour break in between to give the fans a chance to just reset. Put a dark match in between and start the mens half at 8 like they always did. I'm super happy that Rollins won the Rumble, but I was so ing burned out at that point (as was the entire party of 12 people I was watching with) that we were like "ok cool, thankfully its over" It ruined the moment, it killed the buzz for the end because we were all just waiting for it to end. somebody needs to send a message to this company. LESS IS MORE. They seriously need to cut it the out with these 6 hour shows, its TOO MUCH LMFAO. Yeah, it's such a horrible thing that both women's title matches were two of the best matches on the card. I don't understand why you keep on watching if after every goddamn show you bitch about literally everything.

Just gone done watching the Royal Rumble. I thought it was a decent show, but like many of you guys have said, five hours is just far too long for a wrestling show. It actually does the work that the wrestlers are doing a huge disservice as less is more if you ask me.
Becky was the star of the night, she had that great opening match and then looked so badass when she was in the Rumble. I was worried WWE were going to try and swerve us and have someone else win the Rumble, but sometimes the most predictable thing is the thing to do and I think that is true in this regard.
Also, I legit cannot stand Nia Jax, I think she is just horrible in the rin and on the mic and have no idea why they push her so hard!

I was hoping McIntyre would win the Rumble to be honest with y'all man. It would have made more sense or even have someone like Samoa Joe or Andrade win it. Rollins winning was the safe choice but it would have been something if one of those guys won it. Thank God Braun didn't win.
If anything the 30-Women Royal Rumble Match outshined the Men's Rumble yet again for the 2nd year in a row.

People bitch for the sake of bitching. Aside from the universal and wwe title matches, the card was pretty good. I think people anticipate too many surprises for the Rumble and that is the wrong thing to do. People expect what isn’t possible then get disappointed when it doesn’t come to fruition. Other than the end result of the Universal match and post match activity I really enjoyed the match. I could have lived with the end results of the match a lot more if after the match had gone down like marino13 stated he wished it went. Actually the only real issue I had was the way the tag team titles changing hands I can’t stand the Shane had to be the one who got the victory. It should have been Miz. I just feel that Shane is always pushed on us because of what his name is.

Takeaways
Charlotte not only stole her daddy's gimmick but her brother"s psycho gimmick right down to the use of a weapon.
You want a non WWE style match in similar vein to Japan, get it, and then are like WTF. AJ and Bryan was a great match.
I told you a SES was coming last night and even told you who I would be. No one believed me or even gave my post a look lol

Tapped out last night during Bryan/Styles and finished the show this morning. Gotta say it left me feeling...unfulfilled. There was nothing inherently bad about the show (minus the first 35 minutes of the women's rumble and Becky tapping..that was trash) but it just was the safe, uninspiring booking that didnt click with me. Becky tapping to Asuka was absurdly bad, and even her coming back to win the Rumble didnt erase the stigma from it, though she will be fine and it's the least of the worries. Bryan/Rowan will be alright I guess, but now we continue with AJ/Bryan that's just not exactly clicking? AJ may be the best performer in the world, but I haven't felt invested in a single feud of his (outside of his feud with Joe for a month) in over a year. Rollins was the safe pick, but he didnt really need the win, nor do I necessarily think he should have gotten it. Joe on SD, Drew on Raw or even Braun (just crap or get off the ing pot with him) could have benefitted more and been a lot more interesting for me. I'm also extremely nervous of what they're going to do with Ambrose from here.

Im happy Rollins won the rumble, I mean he didn't that rub, but at least Braun won't be Lesnar's bitch for the umpteenth time. Seth can be his bitch lol

Also I gotta say, Sasha vs Ronda tore the house down and was probably my favorite main show match of the night. It felt real and it felt personal..that's something that is severely lacking on the main roster.

Way tooo much Women’s Wrestling.....By the time the men’s rumble got started I wa soo burnt out that it ruined the rumble for me. Other than that I though the show wasn’t bad. On a side note, Becky Lynch is the Elias of the Women’s Division, cuts a good promo and you want to cheer for them but they lose way more than they win. lmao Becky hasn't lost much lately. Also can we stop bitching about the Women wrestling? they have the right to wrestle and put on better matches than the men.

Johnny had a decent 48 hours. Don't forget reuniting with his bestest bestie Tommy Sports Entertainment, and seeing his wife compete in the women's Rumble. Honestly would've been cool to see her compete in the Men's one though.

Women's Royal Rumble Match was definitely better than the Men's Rumble Match but what they should do for the 2020 Royal Rumble Matches for the Men and Women is instead of entrants coming in every 90 seconds...it should be entrants coming out every 2 minutes instead because at least that way it keeps up with pacing.

Lacey Evans looked like she was Charlotte Flairs player 2 version in a mirror match
Mustafa Ali looks like a bad Seth Rollins create a wrestler in real life
I absolutely can’t stand this BS where people get thrown out and their feet didn’t hit the floor. Kofi Kingston’s spot was such a mockery of the rules that I hope we can put that stupidity to rest now. It’s dumb, it’s predictable, it makes me wonder why nobody just stands outside the ring with their foot on a board or something all match instead of getting in the ring. Stupid stuff
Finn lost after what, 1 move of offense from Lesnar? He looked like a rookie getting tapped out after 1 hold, similar to how Lesnar looked when he got tapped out due to inexperience by Frank Mir

Sad that sexism still exists. I want you to highlight where he said this. I want to know exactly where you realized this is what he thinks. Because if they had a jump to conclusions game at the Olympics, you would no doubt have a gold medal.

It’s wrestling fans who ruin wrestling for everyone else. I watched the show last night without the internet and thought it was a pretty damn good show and for the most part was what people have been asking for. Full time talent shined all night long, Becky, Asuka, Sasha, Bryan, Aj, Samoa Joe looked great, Orton was a dick, Mustafa Ali looked like a million bucks, they brought in Dunne, Gargano, Aleister, Io Shirai, Rhea Ripley, I thought it was a big step in the right direction and I come in here and all hell has broken loose. It’s so sad, for the people who constantly complain and you know who you are this isn’t meant to be a take it or leave it thing....it’s more like a maybe you should take a break for a few months....honestly cause I see they are trying to take things in a different direction but it won’t happen overnight. They are treating Bayley completely different, and commuting to some guys and sticking with it, Lashley has chilled on the comedy and is just a bad ass. Andrade is becoming a focus. They are doing things people asked for.

The Rock.But i agree 100% with what you said. Underlined. Say it all the time. She only has a job because of Dwayne. Anyone not related to him hurts as many people as she has, at the frequency she did, they'd have been fired LOOOONG ago. My takeaways:Seth won. Screw the haters. He deserves it [Here comes the one who bashed me for using the term "deserves it" in pro wrestling.] Asuka making Becky tap was amazing. I'm glad they're finally running with Asuka as champion. Figured Brock was gonna win, no way was Finn beating him. Brock using a Kimura to win was unexpected. I took a vape break during AJ/Bryan. Just wasn't catching me as it did others. Go figure, as soon as we get Elite Bludgeons, Rowan get repackaged for the umpteenth time and is - by all indicators - not with Harper. Again. How many times are they gonna split/reunite Rowan and Harper?
