WWF/WWE/ECW/WCW

I normally like Heyman's promos but you're right, tonight was a lot of rambling on an on.  Almost like he was stalling because Reigns was late for his cue to come to the ring.

It's pretty telling when I find myself pulling for Elias over Roode.  Nothing agains Elias but I really hate Roode as a face.  Roode's character just needs to be a heel, plain and simple.   He sucks as a face without James Storm.

I think Storm will come to NXT again. I’ve always preferred Storm over Roode. I hated Roode for most of his career but now I just hate his gimmick.

These huge 6-infinity tag matches are a total waste.

I can't believe Elias got a win.  About time. 

Yeah, Roode's gimmick makes no sense.  How can someone so narcissistic and full of themselves be a face.

I've never been a fan of mega multi person matches.  Battle Royals, Royal Rumbles, anything more than a 6 man tag...boring; there's not enough room for anything to happen.

Roode’s character reminds me of Richard Simmons for some reason.

WTH?  When did Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt become a team????

Since before WM pretty much. The Andre Battle Royal cemented it.

Wow, I'm really out of the WWE loop apparently.  Not that I really care since IT'S BASEBALL SEASON!!!!

But the Cardinals are off today so I'm stuck watching this crap.

Yeah, I’m about to switch back to NHL playoffs soon...

I don't get Hardy and Bray being a face team, a heel team maybe but a face team?   They're both too odd to be good guys.

That’s the norm nowadays it seems.

Slimy Zygote? I’m out...

I NEVER thought I'd see the day when I'd root for Borin' Corbin but watching him beat up this Adam Rose wannabe No Way Jose is glorious.

Bliss’ promo was hilarious!

It was!

Bliss's promo was hilarious and so were Stroman's shoulder tackles into KO.

Been watching The World's Greatest Royal Rumble (been a very good event-though with the historical significance, it means they made sure to put a lot of effort into it. No woman's match but that was expected for a country that just recently allowed them to start driving. Warning, sexist joke: They'll soon regret that .
First match was HHH vs. Cena. This match was a very good match as should be expected from these two. Cena picks up a much needed win after getting squashed by Undertaker.

Second match was The Bar vs. Deleter Of Worlds (yes, that is the tag teams name) which saw the victory of Bray and Matt. Guess the Bar are staying on Smackdown.

Next was the cruiserweight match between Kalisto and Cedric Alexander: This match was incredible! The back and forth between the two were undescribable. Kalisto most certainly belongs in this division as he actually caught my eye instead of putting me to sleep. Alexander won this one.

This was followed by Mahal vs. Hardy for the U.S. title. Once again, Hardy wins as was to be expected.

Then a very intense ladder match between Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, The Miz, and Samoa Joe which saw Rollins pick up the win.

Next was the casket match between Undertaker and "No Way Are We Going To Push Him" Rusev. If you don't know who won that, then you don't pay attention . At least Rusev wasn't squashed and put up quite a fight (unlike Cena).

Styles vs. Nakamura was another good match (better than the WM one) which saw a double count out. Cheap way to have both guys save face to be sure.

Brock vs. Reigns was no better nor worse than their WM match but the end had me laughing my ass off. After trading finishers, Reigns goes for his 4th or 5th (lost count) spear... through the cage door! Technically this makes Lesnar the first to leave the cage and he retains. I was so sure Reigns was going to win but this was priceless!

The Royal Rumble is one I'm watching right now. DB is the first guy in the thing and (after nearly and hour) he's still in it. I know that if he does get eliminated, it's going to be somebody big (I just pray to God it ISN'T Corbin. No big surprises yet, just some NXT guys.

Addendum, Corbin got thrown out. Good! Right now Stroman is cleaning house (though DB is still in it).

Oh, earlier Titus went running to the ring, tripped, and dove right under the ring. So damn funny, the entire announce team was in stitches!

More as it unfolds before my eyes.

Stroman just threw Shane from the top turnbuckle right into the table! Twas a wicked spot!

I was wrong, Big Cass eliminated DB. Just him and Stroman who goes on to eliminate him! I was hoping For DB, but I'm quite OK with this!

If anyone has the Network and hasn't seen this yet, I recommend it. They really pulled through with this one!

Now we just need to get Braun the Universal Title.

Hilarious comment section quote in regards to The Greatest Royal Rumble:

Titus: Hey Lashley, we'd like you to join Titus Worldwide!

Lashley: You must be trippin'...

Oh, I forgot the Usos vs. Bludgeon Brothers. The Brothers once again demolish them.

And a funny moment in the match. Rowan had his fists with an Uso head between them and Cole says, "A move made famous by the late, great Sgt. Slaughter."

Imagine Slaughter watching this at home:

Sarge: Honey?! (assuming he's married)
Wife: Yes dear?
Sarge: Did I die recently?
Wife: Not that I'm aware of.

Did anyone call Cole on his gaffe?  That sounds like something Corey Graves wouldn't let get by.

Despite the lack of female matches on the card, apparently there was still something the Saudi government felt the need to apologize for:

One small step at a time I guess...
