I'm surprised they did that spot where Nia Jax entered the men's Rumble and got hit with like three different finishing moves. I liked it, and women have taken beatings from men in WWE before (Chyna, Lita, Stephanie, Mae Young among others) but in today's PC world, I'm surprised they did it 

When Dolph super kicked her I about choked. Figured they’d give her a soft exit where she clotheslined someone else and went overnight with them or somebody dodged and pulled the ropes. Most cringey thing to me was seeing the two dudes struggle to lift her over the ropes. Thin line they have to skirt. Not offeneded whatsoever but I’m surprised they’re risked the backlash.

Solid PPV all around I thought. Kinda predictable though. Was really hoping Bray Wyatt was gonna return. No Way Jose was a wasted spot. Didn't mind Nia Jax in there. Wasn't the first time a woman was in the men's Royal Rumble.  Also a "man" won the women's royal rumble

They might put Charlotte in the Becky/Ronda Wrestlemania match

First Sasha showed the 4 to Ronda. Now Becky and Bayley giving the 4 sign to each other.

Yeah heard that. Was never a huge fan of him though. Wonder if Renee Young will leave?

Me neither. I hope not. That was my first worry

ConorKavanagh

It's very strange to me that they announced that he won't be renewing his contract. I'm quietly hoping that some kind of work is going on right now.

Happy Birthday Becky Lynch

ConorKavanagh

I'm going to guess she was 32 yesterday, right? I seem to remember her being a little bit younger than me, but not by that much. I hope she wins.

Ironically Ronda Rousey's birthday is today, 2 days after Becky's (same year also)

ConorKavanagh

Yes I remembered that they were both born around the same time as each other. I love Ronda as well, always did, even before she came to WWE.

Remember watching this on tv and taping it on VHS. Most watched wrestling even in television history happened on this date.

I remember this.  Watching Hogan slam my beloved Giant was crazy.

This is also the Wrestlemania where Brutus got his "Barber" nickname.

That Becky Lynch is a very fine looking woman.

I spoke before I watched...  THIS is where there were the two ref's came out.  

Oh man this is when WWF was great.

Machoman and Steamboat with the bell off the top ropes!!!

ConorKavanagh

This angle took place before I began watching, I think I was only a year old at the time or something. However, I always remember reading about this, and then going back and watching it. It has to be one of the most ingenious storylines that the WWF ever broadcast. I just can't imagine a title reign lasting 4 years in today's landscape. It's a pity that André didn't get an actual reign with the title at some point though I think.

Setting up for triple threat match with Becky,Charlotte, and Ronda

Yeah nowhere really to put Charlotte. Although I guess you could have had her against Asuka.

Also congrats to The Revival ob finally winning the RAW tag team belts. Was never a huge fan of them but they deserved to win.
