    I see CM Punk is injured yet again. The guy is falling apart.

    Yep. Torn tricep. 
     

    I think the rumble has become more of part of a story now rather than catapulting the next big star. I remember it used to always be someone on the verge of being a big star and the rumble was the final punch they needed. That seems to be what Money in the Bank is now and the rumble is start of WM main event match, as such it’s just a big name winning. I’d love for a rumble again where you just don’t know who will win and maybe it’ll be a guy (or girl) who’s just getting there but need that extra. 


  2. Spoiler

    Well that was a precent goos show eve if it was easy to call the winners.

    Women's Rumble. Again great match showing off a lot of talent throughout. Had heard that Naomi was a possible showing, never been a fan of hers but she made a good showing. The other TNA woman to make an appearance did good too. I wonder if we will see her in WWE at some point. Impressed me. I hadn't even considered that Jade Cargill would make her debut here. And boy what a debut, straight for Mia Jax and lifted her up like a feather. And eliminated her just as easy. I knew next to nothing of her, apart from her being signed and that she was a big deal, but damn she won me over right there. The final three in Cargil, Bayley and a returning Liv Morgan actually made me think it could have gone either way. Each one would have made for a great reason to go after Ripley. Liv was taken out by her, Jade would just have been a great dream match and of course Bayley and taking all the belts for Damage Control. I still feared for Bayley and it just felt like that would happen, she'd get all the way there and lose. I was genuinely excited when she won it though. She fully deserves it after all the work she has put in this past year. She's taken many of DC's losses and was always taking a pin to Belair. I'm so glad she has her spot in WM. 

    Universal Title, I really was hoping this was finally it, Roman could have lost the match and set up the Rock match without taking a pin, but then I guess to end his reign like that wouldn't be the way to go really. I did think if anything Orton was going to take the win here, but seemed to just be another run of the mill interfering Solo to save Roman match. Just have to winder how they set up Mania now, especially after the mens result....

    KO, Logan. Stupid finish, well I guess not in story sense but can we just get the title off of Logan Paul. I'm guessing there will be more to the KO/Logan story on the way it ended and maybe he'll lose at WM too. 

    Mens Rumble. I was worried we'd have another win from the number 1 spot again, so seeing Jay come out at number 1 kinda eased that a bit, but then to have Jimmy come out at 2 was just great to see, didn't expect that. Not too may surprises in this one, I had called Born Breakker being an NXT star to be in it but I thought there would be a few more. Seemed like some pretty standard stuff throughout the Rumble, I wonder if Kofi is taking a break from the feats of getting back into the ring due to the errors that have gone wrong. It does make his feats more special when they do happen. Cody entering half way through was much better than 1 or 30, just gave it that litte bit of jeopardy. Punk entering at 27 made it feel like he was going to go the distance. I'm sure the 27 spot was at one point the best place for winners. Was then wondering on the last two entrants. Drew was a given but then I had thought if it wasn't a current roster guy there were two potential surprises. The Rock and a slim chance of Hogan (only cause he had mentioned it in the rumble promo) but then I thought of the rumours of Austin/Punk at WM and how much the roof would have blown off if the glass shattered at 30. However it was Sami so at that point I pretty much knew it was between Cody and Punk. I could see it going either way or a draw. Of the two I'm glad it was Cody though, just never been a Punk fan and didn't want him winning. 

    So now to before. It seems that Cody had chosen Roman by the end of the show there. So where does this leave things? I'm guessing winner of Elimination Chamber will face Seth but I see a cash in possibly happening there from Priest too. But more importantly where does this leave the Rock and Roman? Is Roman going to do double duty? Will we not get the Roman/Rock match now. I do see this as the best way to finally end the title reign of Roman, Cody didn't do it the first time, fought back and won it. Plus I. just think it is time to take the title off Roman. It's been a monumental reign but I think it's past its prime. Now if the time for it to end.

     

    Overall a great show as always. Can't wait to see where the stories lead from here into WresleMania.

    The Road to Wreslmania if usually always the best part of the year and this looks to be shaping up to be another great run in. Bring it on.

    Well there's Vince gone again. Resigned from TKO.

    I’m more inclined to think he was asked to resign. 
     

    Yep it’s Rumble time. Unfortunately it looks like the winner is going to be easy to pick. For the women’s rumble the last graphic they had only actually showed four named entrants. So I’m guessing it’ll be one of those. I’m hoping Bayley. The men’s seems a bit more open but I’m thinking it may be between two. I wouldn’t actually be surprised if they do a draw, with it being WM 40 and they have had big main events at these ones. If not I’d love to see Gunther win this year.

    When you play with these sets, just what are you doing with them? 

    I’m more of a display type person so I haven’t actually built any except for this one and Bowsers Airship. But the idea is that you just set up a course, and just run your Mario along it. It keeps track of things like coins and I think there is a timer in him too. I’m sure there’s loads of fun to be had by younger people. But I just like to build and display. 


  5. I've not been getting the Mario sets as much now (I think they've just gone way too many too fast and not all are ass fun) but I am picking up a few that are better suited as standalone sets and not the build a stage set. As such I picked up the Bowser Car set.

    If this weren't out so soon I think I'd start a re-watch of the original

    I’m getting that urge too. But will hold off for now. 
    I know everyone is going to be comparing this to the original, I think what they need to do, or hope they have is stick to the main story but maybe just take some parts that may do with a little extra and enhance it that way. Don’t go for a one to one remake but don’t stray too far from the core of the story. 


  7. Ugh. No interest in Netflix at all but I’m assuming everyone with a WWE Network subscription will get some sort of carry over to Netflix, (im sure this is what happened when it went to Peacock in the US). All I hope is that there is an easy way to watch the shows after they air live. And they are not stuck to some limited thing. I’m guessing the way it’ll happen is that there will probably be a new section added to Netflix that is just a WWE Network section. 
     

    on the Rock/Roman thing @EEVILMURRAY, Head of the table is like the leader of a pack. Roman has been using that phrase for a while along with his Tribal Chief gimmick. So Rock saying he will sit at the head of the table is saying he wants to dethrone Roman. It all helps that they are all part of the wider Samoan family in wrestling.

    Also, as great as the first season of ATLA is, the second and third seasons are overwhelmingly seen as the better seasons of the show.

    I totally agree. I actually feel that the third season  and the who build to the final battle is some of the best story I’ve watched. Oh, I know what will annoy people about this, if they don’t have the Ember Island Players “recap” episode, still my favourite recap episode in all tv.

    Still looking really good:

    I was just coming to post this. Have to say I’m optimistic about this. This looks great, showed a good mix of the bending abilities (and they looked great) great looking environment, and even showed off some comic moments. And it seems that a lot of people are also actually liking the look of it. Bring on a months time. I’m not sure if this is following the same three season arc the animated show did, does anyone knows? So Water, Earth, Fire.
