Dan hasn't tweeted anything and I don't think he'd miss the Rumble(Or not tweet about it)
I think him and Drew are watching it together

This is like when people try to predict GRRM's The Winds of Winter progress.

What is Frosty Faustings VIII and why is it featured as a stream on GB
some Fighting game thing. Probably because Jason put it there.

The Power Bombcast is great regardless of the current state of wrestling.
Especially painful when right up to the end, they teased a cool surprise finish instead.
Ah well. WWE is dumb and the Powerbombcast will be interesting.

Definitely. Lots of interesting stuff happened.
At least, until the very end.
And it was a very fun show. 3 solid hours the whole way through, though the rumble itself had some bad moments (basically everything involving Roman until the end)

I thought you meant Xbox 360 and was real confused. Then I clicked on the screen and I'm scared.

Undercard was just as good, if not better, than the Rumble itself.
The lack of common sense in the RR has always bugged me. League of Nations beats the shit out of Reigns, they leave him outside instead of throwing him in the ring then throwing him out over the top. The Wyatt Family gets eliminated by Lesnar, Bray finally comes and the Wyatt Family come out of nowhere to throw out Lesnar, then they leave. Why the fuck don't they just stay in there and throw everyone out? Why don't stables just go in there and kill everyone?
Yeah yeah, I know, wrestling and logic don't go together.

At that point, you have to stop thinking of it as an athletic competition, in kayfabe. It's a shitty popcorn flick with popcorn flick contrivances. Why didn't the villain just shoot the hero in the head when he had him captured? Why didn't the heroine just call the police when she found evidence of her ex-husband's murders? The Wyatt Family didn't ensure Bray Wyatt's victory, because Wyatt wasn't written to win. He played his part and furthered his own story in eliminating Lesnar. It's shitty writing, but it's not necessarily just a 'lolwrestling' sort of shitty.

Are they doing another one? I wasn't quite sure about it.

Yeah, the thing to be more frustrated with is not how the League of Nations beat the fuck out of Reigns and left him out there, but how they booked Roman for a stretcher spot to be out for 90% of the match and that was supposed to somehow make him look strong. Like that's just fucking terrible.
I hope the massive pop (probably the biggest of the night outside of AJ's debut) that HHH got when he eliminated Reigns tells creative how badly they fucked Roman's booking since he's become champ.
Especially because Roman has been getting more and more good will with the fans. He's gotten more over in this last year pretty organically, but if he'd have won tonight the way it was written, it would have been ALL gone. The second the fans thought they were giving an easy heroic comeback win to Roman they were done with him. Triple H winning is dumb, but Roman winning the way they booked him would've been insulting.
Dean should've won, honestly. But he outclasses Roman too much.
What really bothered me was Lesnar just taking that bullshit and walking away. The way he's been written since destroying Cena at Summerslam, he should've immediately jumped back in that ring and just fucking laid out everyone and thrown out Bray and then went out and F5'd Cole a few times and flip a couple tables and throw some car doors.

Hopefully they open up RAW with a Paul Heyman speech instead of the usual Authority garbage.
Its hard to see Dean with two titles honestly which is why I kind of checked out at that point. If he had lost the IC title to KO, it would've been a lot more believable that he had a chance.

First time this year. It was just a special occasion thing Vince laid out two weeks ago.
Edit: It's happened before? Guess i don't remember.
Since this particular RR when Vince made that the stipulation. It's happened before, too.
Gimmick was Vince hates Roman because he beat up HHH in December at TLC, so he's been trying to fuck him for a while now. Title was put on the line, and Roman at 1, in order to fuck Roman as hard as possible
He's charismatic, entertaining and natural on the microphone in a way most aren't, and has a real grasp on ring psychology and storytelling. He's a bit like CM Punk in that if you look at his matches move for move, they can look a bit sloppy (like that dumb ass rebound before his clothesline) but everything around and between the moves is good. His facial expressions, his vocalizations, his selling, the pacing of the match, etc. He has a lot of the good parts of CM Punk and Jake the Snake in him, at least from where I sit.
Also, the gals apparently love him.

The man suffers from a debilitating condition known as "Shane O'Mac Punch Syndrome." Hate to see it happen to someone.
If we're being serious, Terry Bogard would win, right?

That thumbnail is terrifying.
Not as good as Nyanpanch man but god damn I am so amazed there's enough footage for this joke to work
Aside from everything else that makes this great, the actual credits for Lock Down at the end make this pretty great. Also the mystery college (?) footage of Dan just punching somebody.
Did a very quick scroll past everybody's Football, Wrestling and X-Files stuff.. then read only the #RR tweets from Alex, Austin and Jeff.
Also, I'm playing Oracle of Seasons right now. My issue is that I'm still getting lost a lot in the world, with only 1 dungeon left. Even the guides confuse me..
But it rekindled my love for Roc's feather.
