    I made the comment on here during the broadcast about Wyatt's entrance. They need to bring back the old carts that would drive the wrestlers to the ring like they did at WM3 and 6 when they have these shows at the stadiums.

    Ha, I was thinking that too when I saw how long the path to the ring was, bring back the little carts. Instantly makes me think of Andre and Bobby Heenan getting pelted with trash while riding theirs. Nikki Cross ran full speed the whole way and had to be winded even before she got to the ring.

    As for Bray’s entrance, it doesn’t help that I’m not a big fan of his current music. It takes WAY too long to get going and IMO doesn’t fit him as well as his previous themes. At least cut down the piano intro to make it more tolerable.

    I was thinking that if Taker had been in the rumble, he would easily have had 3 -4 guys enter past him before he finally made it to ring. Seeing Nikki run gave me dejavu to seeing Warrior make those runs at some of the longer entrances

    Watching the press conference when Nick Hausman got up there, as waiting for another all out debacle. Cody talking about the pop and whataburger compared to Phil's muffin

    Word is Roman vs. Sami is going to be at Elimination Chamber in a singles match. S what's the point of even having a chamber match? Isn't the title supposed to be defended there?

    Us title is going to be. And that's the problem with one world champion. I thought in years past the rumble winner declared for 1 title and then EC determined the #1 contender for other title.

    That's weak. No one wants to see the U.S. title chamber match.

    What makes Cody think that the Rhodes are a "wrestling royal family"? Dusty was the only one who did anything. When I think of wrestling royal families I think of the Von Erichs, the Armstrong's, the Funks and the Guerrero's.

    One thing I got to thinking yesterday when I was listening to Nakamura’s music in my car and I realized someone with his ability wasn’t even in the Rumble…

    There have been a number of occasions WWE has struggled to fill all the Rumble spots, most notably around 1994-6 when they were forced to bring in multiple outside talents (The Squat Team? Carlos Colon? Dick Murdoch? Takao Omori?) as well as have some wrestlers pull double duty.

    Well, this past Saturday WWE didn’t have to worry about that. Just look at the main roster talent who DIDN’T appear on the show:
    Shinsuke Nakamura
    Luke Gallows
    Karl Anderson
    Cedric Alexander
    Shelton Benjamin
    Mustafa Ali
    Akira Tozawa
    Dexter Lumis
    Viking Raiders
    Maximum Male Models
    Los Lotharios
    Bronson Reed
    Dolph Ziggler
    Madcap Moss
    Ashante Thee Adonis
    Top Dolla
    Joaquin Wilde
    Cruz Del Toro

    And that’s not even including inactive/injured wrestlers like Matt Riddle, AJ Styles, R-Truth, Randy Orton, Tommaso Ciampa, and Bobby Roode, or wrestlers who appeared but didn’t compete like Ridge Holland, Butch, Sami Zayn, Solo Sikoa, and the Usos.

    You could make a whole second Rumble with all those names. That’s a HUGE roster.

    Is there some reason people hate logan paul? Dude is crazy talented and a pretty good troll. I don't watch much wwe, but if I did I'd definitely be a fan if he was pure heel.
    Or is he the typical we're going to push him as a face no matter what you think he should be wwe cookie cutter character?

    Maybe I answered my own question :lol

    Hopefully it'll go differently this time. Especially after Charlotte didn't even drop the NXT Title directly.

    His brother as well. And for the Funks you have Dory and Terry that I would honestly consider equal to Dusty.

    I think also its the contributions to wrestling outside of ring work. Dusty is almost has well known for that has his in ring career. Also its a bit of in character Ego/Nose thumbing at Mr. McMahon. Has far has Vince is concerned, the only Royal family in wrestling is his, Cody is pointing out that is just not true. Remember the intro doesn't say The Rhodes' are the other Royal Family, it just implies it. It could mean all those people mentioned earlier along with like The Harts.

    Dang, forgot about the Harts. Funk's also had Dory Sr. Dustin really hasn't done anything aside from Goldust. Even that became a joke after a while.
