I though Michelle was the best female wrestler and entertainer around for years. A living legend. Even slightly unappreciated compared to top male wrestlers.

The worst segment was easily the Rousey one. So poor. Raw was poor yes.

The Rousey segment at the Rumble? Or the recap thing they did last night?

The segment at the Rumble. With Ahsuka not picking who to face like Nakamura did.

I liked the way they did it. Everyone thought Ronda would be in the Rumble, and then when she wasn't people weren't expecting her. I think it made the women's rumble mean alot more, too.

During her recent interview with Busted Open Radio, Sasha Banks was also asked about Ronda’s arrival and her comments too showed the frustration of the whole Women’s Division.

While The Boss did not say anything negative about the former UFC Star, she refused to comment on her debut at all, claiming that she has nothing nice to say:

“My feelings…and sorry to do it to you guys. You know, I have nothing nice to say so I can’t say anything at all, I have nothing to say about it.”

It’s a work.

And if it weren’t a work, they would be idiots.

[Anders]

Feels more like a shoot to me.

[numbers]

The fact that they are all doing it at once screams work.

[Anders]

I think she should have opened Raw, and no silly pointing at the Wrestlemania sign. Just come out there and told them that she was taking over.

[Anders]

Wonder if they will do the whole Sami vs Kevin feud again. They are great, but I feel it's a bit early to have them feuding again.

[chewm]

Rhonda sucks

[Anders]

In what way?

Agreed. They need to be together for at least 6 months, preferably longer, or the feud won’t really matter.

People complaining about Ronda stealing the spotlight from the women in WWE just don’t get it. There was no spotlight to be stolen without Ronda. She did more for women’s wrestling in one night than anyone on that roster has done in years. I love a lot of those girls, Sasha, Becky, Charlotte, Bayley, Bliss and a few others are all really good and the best generation of female wrestlers of all time, but Ronda shines a light on them that they never would have attained without her. Also, I’d be willing to bet Ronda is a better pro wrestler RIGHT NOW than Nia Jax and Nikki Bella are.

[Anders]

I agree with all of that, always did.

All of these mixed match guerilla videos they’ve been doing have been awesome. Sami/Becky, Braun/Bliss and Miz/Asuka have all been killing it. Just like Talking Smack, it’s a perfect example of how if WWE wasn’t scripting and micromanaging creative so heavily how much better some of these people could be.

Predictions for tonight:

Men’s Chamber: Reigns
Women’s Chamber: Alexa
Asuka/Nia: Some kind of shmozz where no one loses
Tag Titles: Bar
Bray/Matt: Matt

I hope that Chamber Match is really good because this show has no intrigue at all.

[Anders]

At least it’s Wrestlemania season, and the Royal Rumble was surprisingly good. Hopefully will be an entertaining show.

[Anders]

Not a great ppv, the men’s chamber was too choreographed. Some throwaway matches in the middle. Best match of the night was the women’s chamber.

Nice prediction numbers.

My only issue with the men’s match, is what is the point of making Braun look so invincible all the time when they aren’t going to pull the trigger on him?

I thought the Ronda contract signing was great. Ronda obviously needs to work on her talking but outside of that she knocked it out of the park.

They did make Braun look amazing. But I thought there were too many moments that were set up, like when Miz had everyone on their knees, and he was kicking them, or when Braun threw Miz off the booth, and everyone was there to catch him.
