I thought the Royal Rumble match itself was awful.

pretty decent Royal Rumble albeit very predictable. Everyone thought it would be Cody and Rhea winning it which they did.Gunther lasting like an hour and 11 minutes was pretty surprising. Also the very end when Sami clocked Roman with a chair shot to the back. As well as Jey Uso walking out "confused" was great story telling. Only match that was meh was Bianca vs Alexa Bliss.

I stopped following AEW religiously and seeing now that Cody Rhodes is on WWE?!?  He started AEW with everyone from the ground up.  Can't believe he left?

yeah he came back at Wrestlemania last year. AEW is still doing pretty well w/out him.

They have MJF, Cassidy, Wardlow, Brian Cage , Anderson, Jungle Boy, Moxley and Archer.  Oh and Colt Cabana, yeah I like him too, lol.

That's a pretty damn good roster right there.  They're gonna lose MJF if they keep giving guys like CM Punk all this stupid money.  

I said this a few years ago, they need to groom and take care of their talent and stop getting the WWE rejects.

Not too mention Kenny Omega, Young Bucks, The Acclaimed, Darby Allen, and Jericho. Haven't heard from Cobana and Archer in a few months though. Archer might be injured. Wonder where Mire has been. He hasn't been seen on tv in ages.

Punk is no longer with AEW.

Yes, I heard about that.  He and MJF got into it I think?  Darby Allin, meh.  He will get some fans w the skating thing I guess?  Young Bucks are great, I forgot to mention them.  They were one of the first batch of wrestlers I liked.

Jericho is good for what he is but he too is a former WWE.  

Read an article about AEW wrestlers that might defect.  Half of the ones I named are on that list...

Anybody watch the A&E WWE Star Spotlight series?  I got to watch Macho Man, Jake the Snake and Undertaker.  I knew that Elizabeth was running around w Luger but had no idea the amount of drugs he was doing, wow.  They show Luger now and he has to be 120lbs only.

Lenny Poffo RIP was also in it.  He was a good interview.

The Mick Foley/Undertaker talk about the cage match was good.

Did not know that Jake smoked crack.  I knew he boozed it up and promotional speaks now.

Wrestlemania weekend!

My predictions, Night 1:

Austin Theory defeats John Cena

Seth Rollins defeats Logan paul

Damage CTRL defeats Becky Lynch, Lita and Trish Stratus

Viking Raiders win the fatal 4 way battle

Dominic Mysterio defeats Rey Mysterio (probably with the help of Damian Priest since he's not wrestling on the card)

Rhea Ripley defeats Charlotte Flair to win the Smackdown women's championship

Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens defeat the Uso's to win the tag team belts

Night 2:

Gunther beats Sheamus and Drew McIntye in the triple threat match to retain the belt (this one can go so many ways. I can see either Sheamus or Drew winning also)

Finn Balor defeats Edge in Hell in a Cell

Ronda Rousey and Shayna Bayzler win the fatal 4 way battle

Bianca Belair defeats Askuka

Brock Lesnar beats Omos by DQ

Cody Rhodes defeats Roman Reigns to win the belts

So I'm guessing no more arena Wrestlemanias.

Should have had the Charlotte/Rhea match be the main event. Hated that they followed it with The Miz and McAfee

Ledbetterman10

They need to sign Logan Paul to a real contract. I don’t know what he does as a “social media influencer,” but whatever it is, he can’t be as good at it as he is at wrestling. I can’t believe I’m about to type this, but not since Kurt Angle has someone picked up pro wrestling so fast and so well.

I disagree, Uso's vs Zayn/Owens should have main evented night 1. better story and the match was great and the crowd proved that with the ovation. Don't get me wrong Ripley and Flair was a great match also but slightly under that one, IMO

I forgot there was a match left. But either would have been good
