Turn it on and Nakamura and Styles is starting. Nice.
Not a classic, but probably the best match of the night. I'd be alarmed by the Roman reaction, so-so pop and the crowd were not totally behind him, this was the easiest of crowds for him.

The rest of the card has been okish, not sure I could recommend you anything tbh, Taker worked hard and Rusev was somewhat protected, but Christ Taker needs to retire, painful to watch these days. Horror botch from Jinder the lowlight.

Not sure if the Iran baiting was a lowlight:laugh: If in doubt ramp up the xenophobia has always served the WWE well.

Yeah, Wrestlemania look and card but glorified house show basically.
Thought we would get some title changes with the money been paid, Roman was most certainly the betting fav before this, however the world needs Roman v Brock part4:ph34r:

Titus O'Neil just did the most hilarious botch I've ever seen.
Been quite a few tonight, Lashley just there with Cass and Jinder with Jeff, but wow that was incredible from Titus.

okish show, basically a glorified house show tbh. Rumble needs to never be more than 30 people as so many jobbers taking up uneserved time but that was known before tonight.

Cool things -
Strowman winning.
DBry 76 minutes in Rumble
KO being the feud to get beat with three guys, DBry, Shane and Jericho
Mysterio is so good
Titus is so bad

Also commentary was really good from Corey and Cole especially.
Cole when he starts to enjoy himself is great. I love his Elias obsession which is solely a product of Graves as the heel commentator having a gimmick of hating on Elias.

They are good when given freedom, assume Vince was distracted with other things to roar at them tonight.

I don't get the love everyone seems to have for Strowman. He's good meme value and he's had his moments. But on a roster this stacked, he'd be pretty far down the list for me.

If he's the guy they focus on for big matches, it'll just end up being more of the same Lesnar-esque stuff.

Strowman is sports entertainment, he’s a human highlight real. Always have time for him.

Genuinely think he’s a pretty great big man wrestler. Might be the best in the world right now? Fale and Big Show are probably his main competition. I’ve always liked monster wrestlers though. Kane is probably in my top five blokes of all time.

I liked Tony Nese. He should be on MR i mean he weighs more than Balor. This show should be a wake up call for WWE that there aren't many international stars in WWE now.

And there were so many random NXT wrestlers. That bald guy doesn't even have a wiki page. Also a lot of tag teams were put in this match when they could have gone for some more NXT talent or even have someone like Cena, Rollins, Miz etc

Yeah there was some scrubs there, although I'd have hated it some of the lads in the previous matches mainly the ladder match had rocked up in the rumble as fresh as a daisy. Could have had more high profile NXT dudes but not the end of the world really. Almas was the only surprise omission. Sami not been there was to be expected.

They have protected him very well so far by mainly using him in multi man, gimmick, tag matches etc. He is exposed hugely when he has to have a standard one v one match with no distractions as his shitshow with Lesnar proved. Roman for all his character flaws is miles ahead of him as a worker and I'd trust him much more in a standard match.

At the moment though as I don't watch Raw much bar some youtube stuff and the PPV'S, he isn't that overbearing.

This is crazy, Reigns is one of the best workers around. Probably top 10 WWE. Romans problems aren’t his wrestling ability
