Royal Rumble 2020 Review

It is one of my favourite days of the year!  IT IS TIME FOR THE ROYAL RUMBLE!  I will be randomly throwing my thoughts up here from start to finish.  I am super excited.  I have my glass of Sailor Jerry, my Mountain Dew, and will be ordering some pizza shortly.  It must mean it is time for a PPV! 
  • Charley looks amazing...as always
  • I do love me some Christian!
  • How goofy do people look with their "belts"
  • Sheamus returns and gets pushed to the Kickoff show?  BOO!
  • Sam cut that horrible hair....now if someone could dress him
  • This is one of the best parts of Rumble season, the Numbers segment!
  • I hate that they include the Saudi rumble in the numbers, it is not a royal rumble damn it!
  • Did Titus ever get out from under that ring?  
  • Sam Roberts needs to just shave his head, he has a 12 head!
  • I want to slap half of the people in the background.  Yeah, you idiots mugging for the camera!
  • With only 7 announced women does that show the lack of stars or a big surprise incoming?
  • Does Asuka have a chance?
  • Christian is having problems finding his words tonight, it is weird
  • I hated the new Bray Wyatt at first, now I love it.  It just shows that sometimes you have let the story playout
  • It is so weird to see D-Bry with the short hair and beard after all these years
  • I cannot imagine a strap match!
  • I really hate Sam Roberts
  • Is that Booker hair or does he have extensions do you think?
  • Lacey almost had a wardrobe malfunction during that commercial
  • Why is the brother so much smaller?
  • I love the "new" Bayley for the record, plus her haircut is awesome
  • Oh Christian, that is not cool.  Sam's haircut is the worst haircut EVER!
  • Can someone move that fat moron from the background, I honestly hate them all!  They should be up in a skybox
  • I think the first ref is hitting the ring!
  • Wow lots of empty seats behind the Celtic Warrior
  • Shorty G is the worst name since Bastion Booger!
  • I am so glad to see Sheamus back, but what is up with the horrible lighting?  Still, working on it?
  • Ordering pizza so I missed some of this match but Shorty is getting too much Offense in against Sheamus in my opinion.  His gimmick is the underdog, this is what killed the 1-2-3 Kid and this gimmick
  • The correct man won!
  • I do miss the Mohawk
  • What is Todd Phillips doing there?  Where is Vic?
  • I just do not care for either of these guys, sorry
  • Wait....I do care about Andrade because it gets us Zelina on our TV
  • There is just very little psychology in their matches.  Just not a fan of Lucha Libre style matches
  • Why is Zelina trying to get the fans into the match?
  • Is the ref related to President Trump?  They are both orange!
  • He should not have kicked out but grabbed the ropes
  • Nice finishing sequence that shows Humberto could have won
  • No run away from Brock the entire time!
  • Uggg, I hate Roman Reigns because that means I will have to see the Usos at some point
  • Seriously Kofi's hair is awful blonde
  • I love the Stone Cold opening!  We need more Steve Austin on our TV screens
  • If Reigns is the big dog he had to be fed like a dog!
  • Reigns should get sued for attacking security like that!
  • DEEP SIX ITS OVER!
  • Damn it
  • Corbin is the second-best king of all time after the greatest king in William Regal
  • Of course King Booker was good....as was the Macho King....and how can I forget King Duggan....but still Corbin is pretty good
  • Damn Germans ruin everything!
  • Why does Reigns still weird the Shield Vest?
  • The question is will this be the blowoff match or we will see these guys fight for another month or two
  • Those who did not think these four would get involved stand on your heads
  • The only people to have more X-Pac heat then X-Pac would be the Usos
  • Why would Jimmy do that, he just took out his own brother!
  • Will King Corbin end up in the toilet?
  • WHAT IF SOMEONE IS IN THERE?
  • Well that was a shitty thing to do!
  • Tessa Blanchard is probably upset they stole her shit gimmick
  • Who is shocked at those results?  Anyone?
  • Are the fans booing Reigns?
  • How much botox is in Mandy's lips?
  • How horrible is it that Kobe and his 13-year-old daughter died in that helicopter crash?
  • Time for the Womens Royal Rumble!
  • That ring announcer is horrible!  I miss the Fink!
  • I knew Alexa would go bell to bell and win it all.  
  • The first person for me to cheer against is Bianca Belair
  • YES MIGHTY MOLLY!  She is the winner!  I am calling it
  • I do not like Nikki's gear
  • I love Alexa screaming for Nikki, that is perfect
  • Lana is going to talk, thank goodness!
  • It is WW-E Lana, you forgot the E darling
  • Nice Captain Marvel gear
  • Is this even 90 seconds?
  • I said it all along, Mercedes is the winner!
  • What is up with Liv's horrible gear, its like bad S&M gear
  • Eliminating her from the Royal Rumble will not get you your girlfriend back Liv
  • Nikki is stripping down!  SHE IS CRAZY!
  • Nice missile dropkick from Candice
  • I knew Molly Holly would not win
  • ITS OTIS!  HE SAVED MANDY!  
  • My wife actually called this!
  • Mercedes with a vicious roaring elbow!
  • BOO!  Mercedes is gone
  • Mia Yim is gonna win!
  • Thank goodness the Goddess is still in there
  • I HATE YOU BIANCA!
  • I do like Dana, always have
  • When was the last time we saw Tamina?
  • Not for very long here!
  • A lot of NXT stars
  • Bliss is not wearing her gloves, that is weird
  • Chelsea Green and she is gone
  • Back to #1 and #2
  • DAMN IT!  I HATE YOU BIANCA!
  • Here is your winner!  THE QUEEN
  • Wow, look at Naomi's hair!
  • The fans are popping big for her return!
  • Beth is the winner!  I knew it all along
  • Was that Beth's head against the post?
  • Toni Storm is the winner, I called it!
  • Finally!  I am so glad Bianca is gone....but the fans are not happy about it
  • I sure hope Charlotte does not win
  • THE STINK FACE IS BACK!  Where do I sign up for it from Kelly Kelly?
  • Is Flair bleeding? She bleeds all the time
  • No, I think the blood is from Beth's head
  • Beth is basically ginger now!
  • I knew all along that Zelina was the winner of the rumble
  • Carmella is #27, the winning number!
  • That officially was the dumbest thing ever in wrestling I think
  • THERE IS YOUR WINNER!  THE QUEEN OF SPADES!
  • She is the queen of spades not the queen of hearts!
  • Why would she do that now though?  After you eliminate the Spade 
  • I do not want Charlotte to win!
  • Damn it.  Great, let's do Charlotte Flair against Becky yet again.  Because we have not seen that match 100 times already!
  • King Corbin is right, the Bloodline is cheating constantly!
  • I really like Lacey Evans but I wish they would change her gimmick
  • Wow twitter is upset that Charlotte won and that Sasha was not in the match.  Honestly, I did not notice that Sasha was not involved because I do not miss her
  • I feel sorry for these two following the Rumble because the crowd is dead
  • Well that was anti-climatic
  • I love the Fiend!
  • Look at his back, this is nuts!
  • Did they say this was pinfall or submission?  That is not how the strap match works!
  • Man, this is stiff and sounds and looks painful!
  • A lot of blood tonight!
  • Interesting counter to the Mandible Claw
  • Good grief how do you not flinch while getting strapped?  
  • The question is where do you go from here with D-Bry?
  • Oh I thought it was going to be Kane or the Undertaker but nope, just the Fiend leaving
  • I love Asuka's gear!
  • Do you think they will have Becky lose the belt?  I cannot imagine it
  • I love Asuka talking to herself.  She is great!
  • These two have great chemistry
  • These two have great matches together.  They look like fights instead of dancing which is what it should be
  • That was like an atomic drop
  • I agree with everything Asuka just said
  • Is Becky legit knocked out?  Nope they got me though
  • Awesome escape to the Chicken wing!
  • This started off slow but has really picked up
  • I love the facial expressions Asuka has
  • Love the mist missing and the finish
  • I will admit it, I LOVE The Street Profit segments
  • I hope the Revival comes out and destroys Booker T during the Rumble, give him a few Shatter Machines
  • Here is your winner, The WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar!
  • Why would you anger Lesnar?
  • I hate good guy Elias!
  • Good god did you see those hammer fists!
  • This will be the worst/best Royal Rumble ever because there will only ever be two men in the ring
  • I called it!  Lesnar will not even break a sweat!
  • If Roode was smart he would roll in and out and then RUN!
  • Has anyone ever eliminated all 29 men?  Because we will see it here
  • Morrison might last by running
  • Four down, twenty-five to go!
  • Kofi should have kept rolling
  • And the PC entry is here as they let a midget enter
  • No one can take Lesnar!
  • I do love me some Big E
  • Big E wisely trying to get everyone together
  • HA HA the crowd thought Lesnar was going to be eliminated!  
  • Heyman told everyone it was a spoiler!
  • Former OVW tag team partners
  • Zayn should not be having Nakamura get to the ring
  • 10 down 19 to go
  • This is the man I said should eliminate Lesnar and win it all!
  • Three monsters in the ring now with Lee, Strowman and Lesnar
  • Why would they fight each other and not Lesnar?
  • If Lee or Lesnar could not get him out no one can
  • Drew vs. Brock would be a helluva match
  • Let me rephrase that, Drew vs. Brock will be a helluva match at Mania
  • The fans are going to make Brock angry...you, and more importantly Drew, will not like him when he is angry
  • Drew is scary strong!
  • Good grief Edge looks so old compared to how we remember him
  • ITS KING CORBIN!
  • Uggg, I hate Matt Riddle
  • He is so annoying!
  • King Corbin is my new favourite wrestler!
  • Randy Orton and Edge together again!  RATED RKO!!!
  • With Charlotte vs. Lynch why not do Reigns vs. Lesnar one more time!
  • Wow Reigns just no-sold that chop
  • This is the winning number!
  • Aleister Black....I completely forgot about him!
  • Samoa Joe and Rollins remain
  • I love me some Samoa Joe!
  • Why not have your buddies come with you Seth, that is brilliant!
  • I knew all along it would the Monday Night Messiah winning it all!
  • This is not cool at all, he is Raw's Messiah!
  • Roman Reigns stole the spear from Edge!
  • Drew is going to main event Mania huh?  Lesnar vs. Drew will be a fight!
What a show!  This is always my favourite show of the year and it did not disappoint this year.  The return of Edge.  The Fiend having an amazing match with D-Bry.  Beth Phoniex showing why she is still better than half the roster.  It was not a perfect show.  They had Charlotte Flair win the rumble and I do not think we need to see another Becky vs. Charlotte match but that is me.  I loved loved LOVED the mens rumble!  Overall it is was a great show however and cannot wait to see how they follow it up
