Styles/Bryan Asuka/Lynch Banks/Ronda RR MEN RR WOMEN Even Balor/Brock Shane/Miz vs. Bar Are all matches that im excited for. the fatal 4 cruiserweight should be good. Rusev/Naka while kinda boring might be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 If I recall, last year's Royal Rumble was the best event the main roster put on all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Brock Lesnar has to go. That guy is fucking cancer to the product right now. Every single time he is on Raw we are guranteed that a) he's not going to compete, and b) Heyman will say the same shit as always and c) the competitor will come out and make his case why he will beat Lesnar. It's completely redundant and awful. I like Strowman and I am a huge fan of Finn, and there was even Vince McMahon out there today yet that opening segment SUCKED. It just served as a reminder on how bad Lesnar has been to the overall product on Raw. Get him gone and with Reigns gone, we could finally see a good product as it will stabilize everything else.

iWiN4PreP Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'm not as optimistic on the men's Royal Rumble as I was before. First, both titles are not really in flow.. We got Lesnar which I've already pointed out multiple times and we got the Bryan/Styles situation which is great on it's own, but Styles shouldn't win so what face can fight Bryan? There isn't any worthwhile right now. The men's rumble really has no one I want to see win other than __surprise candidate___. Rollins? No, fuck him he's dulled down. Ambrose? Hell no. McIntyre - again, completely dulled out. Really, I have no idea who should win and in this particular case that's a bad thing since there's no one credible. Strowman? To set up a Brock vs Braun at WM? I guess that makes sense, but it would be boring AF. Last year I wanted and expected Shinsuke Nakumara to win and he did end up winning. This year? I don't know.

iWiN4PreP Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 How'd you guys like NXT Takeover? That Ricochet / Gargano match was simply superb, amazing. The main event was solid and I felt the Tag match and women's match was good as well. Overall, nothing flashy/spectacular, just another great NXT Takeover event. Now it's RR time. Predictions: Rusev vs. Naka : Give it to Rusev, I guess Cruiserweights: Don't know, but to be complete: Buddy Murphy SD Tag titles: Going Shane+Miz SD Womens: Asuka retains by hook or crook. Likely DQ ending of sorts. Raw Womens: Ronda easily retains Raw Mens: Brock easily retains SD Mens: Going with Daniel Bryan, but somewhat unpredictable here Mens RR: Gotta be down to Rollins or Strowman. I'm thinking I'll pick Rollins W RR: Charlotte or Lynch or both??? Hm.. Going with Lynch as that seems to be the story. Most looking forward to: Hopefully seeing Velveteen dream in the RR!!

Rowand44 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Takeover was great per usual. Didn’t think it was their best show but that’s just because everyone is always amazing. I’m pretty stoked for tonight. We’re staying at the same hotel as the wrestlers, kinda bizarre just seeing them around as normal people ha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Brock fucking sucks and is ultimately damaging to the product, but there's no denying his skill set. Anyway, I predicted essentially everything right (sans the Nakamura vs. Rusev match, but who cares -- haven't watched them in months). The first half of the show was simply phenomenal. The latter half had hits or misses. Biggest miss was Bryan vs. AJ. These 'dream' matches are over. AJ is no longer an instant classic wrestler. He has failed with Bryan, Naka, Owens, Joe. Biggest hits were the woman's Title matches, although while the 'Becky Lynch Story' is quite awesome right now, I think WWE risks losing 'it' with her by overexposure. Having her in the title match and winning the rumble match like that is not a success IMO. The rumble matches were hurt by no believable competitors. On the woman's I correctly called Charlotte or Lynch with Lynch as the favorite. On the men, I correctly called Rollins with Strowman second. Second year in a row I get both rumbles 100% accurate. Sad. Anyway, a good event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Also -- not a big fan of Rollins. I'll give him a shot here during the WM build, but I've been very hit or miss with him and it just gets old. He's not reigns-level bad, but I don't actively look to support him. I didn't see a huge pop for him either as the winner. Don't see Lesnar vs. Rollins as a success or something to look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Rollins winning was the right choice and he derseves to get back to the main event picture (heck he was main eventig as the IC champ). However the “lack huge pop” at the end was not to his fault. Fans were looking for a surprise entrant at 30th and they ended up with Nia Jax. That killed the intrigue to the math itself a bit. McIntyre and Rollins should have been the last two standing since there is ongoing storyline between them, there is nothing going on with Rollins and Braun. And also women’s RR took way too long and I suspect they have to wrap the men’s match up quick. They should have let the final two wrestle for a bit and Ron would have gotten his “huge pop” from the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was close to Austin levels back in the day Live. Thought it was loud for SETH as well but I was exhausted after that show. It was long and the chairs were uncomfortable. Can't speak for others there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
