    I am thinking Ricochet, Velveteen Dream, Black all could be NXT surprises.  Ricochet is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and has nothing else to prove in NXT he could come up at anytime.  Almost prefer he doesn’t though as he won’t get to do all the stuff he does in NXT on main roster.

    Great shout. If booked properly they would all do well. Booked badly and well.... Just look at Tyler Breeze and Sami Zane. Even the Revival deserve better.

    That match was bonkers. Ricochet is one of the best athletes I've seen.

    If it's not Charlotte the only other thing I could see is my girl Becky losing to Asuka because either Ronda or Alexa screw with her. Then Becky enters rumble and wins and calls out Ronda at WM.



    Quoting myself for Becky winning it all baby!

     
  • Easiest 2 RR winners to predict EVER!

    Impressive!



    Was a good Royal Rumble, I felt satisfied afterwards.  As soon as Rollins was getting lined up to be smashed through the table I thought it would be him - but sure didn't see him taking out Strowman lol.



     
  • I hate hate hate when they have people spend huge chunks of the match outside the ring. It's just stupid and strains credibility way too much. If anyone had a brain they would never enter the ring. Just makes it so much more unrealistic.

    100% agree Buddy.  It;s just crap especially when it’s people who have gone for hour + matches and then all of a sudden can’t get up from a clothesline or being pushed into the padding.  Rediculous!  But that said anyone who didn’t pick Seth and Becky winning tonight was nuts!



     
  • I was this close to a clean sweep! Not gonna argue. Happy Becky won. Wasn't cena supposed to be in this? Can someone explain the R truth thing?
  • Man that was a long show. I thought PPVs were 3 hours, not 5-6
  • That's the standard for rumbles and manias these days.

    I watched with a group of 5 guys in the Atlantic time zone and we nearly needed sticks to prop us up by the time the mens rumble started

    One of the reasons I don’t watch much modern wrestling. Raw is even three hours now, that is the length of old Wrestlemania. Go back to the hour/hour and a half shows with a three hour PPV and I an back on board, but I am old so not there target market.

    Damn! Thats rough.



    Vince had the balls to say that the NFL games were too long. The irony.

    Right...and then they had that stupid 5+ minutes before the men's rumble of Elias and JJ doing their bit lol.



     
  • Any thoughts on AEW?
  • ^Its interesting. People are getting way ahead of themselves though, acting like AEW is ready to take the WWE down. They have had 1 event so far, the next one is still months away, no TV deal yet.



    So far they are good at building hype, but lots of people need to relax and let it play out.
  • Good points. Decent roster but they need more people. And it sounds like a lot of WWE guys are thinking of jumping. A lot are there for the money and don't care about jobbing out.



    I like the fact that theres new competition. Its like UFC. They're the biggest, but not the only game in town.

    The thing to remember is AEW said they wanted to be an alternative to WWE, so I don't think they are actively looking to poach WWE talent and turn into TNA 2.0 here.  The only guys I could see jumping are those whose contracts are up soon anyways or who have close ties with Cody and/or the Bucks anyway.



    Competition is good and All In was a good first step.  Let's see where it goes.

    Damn it's already time for that?!?  Hope it's a good time for ya, I'll be tuning in



     
  • Wow congrats on that, always wondered how it would be to see the superstars in the plastic boxes?  Do they look like life sized action figures... lol!

    While not as fun as going to a live event, I did just get in a full 12-box case of 2018 WWE Women's Division to bust.  Looking for that Ronda Rousey auto and any Becky's I possibly don't have (which isn't many).   



  • ^Sweet! I just started getting into the 2019 Road to Wrestlemania set myself  



    P.S. - Happy Birthday!
  • Thanks man, yeah 2019 RTWM pisses me off because Becky is only on the Diva's Revolution cards ONLY in the Walmart $4.99 fat packs. The odds of hitting her auto in those is worse than Powerball... I did manage to buy the base auto of hers in there #1/25 already though. But still need the gold, red, and printing plate autos. Ugh
  • Wow, shocked... I've opened over 800 boxes of this product between hobby and retail and never even sniffed a Ronda card.  Keep in mind this is her first WWE product she was in.  In the same box in the case I hit a silver parallel base card of hers #/50 go $100+ and then I finally hit it.  Keep in mind she is a short print that only has blue #/25, Gold #/10, Black #/5, Red 1/1, and 4 X Printing plates all 1/1.  So only 45 autos out there to get.  Boom Gold #9/10!! 



  • Wow those were in the same box and then a 10 print run on gold - congrats! I imagined her auto would be more flashy  
  • Nice! Those rasslin' cards are a lot of fun to open. You've seen those kiss cards I'm sure. I haven't decided of those are cool or creepy.
  • I've got tons of kiss cards, including a box full of Becky's. However, the creepy one is the black lipstick Goldust kiss cards... yeesh!
