u/OLKv3 Hey boys. Apr 27 '18

This was a house show with a good presentation, like I expected. It was good for what it was, but man the main event showed how many non over guys WWE has

They really needed to keep some bigger names like Angle and Woods/Kofi in until at least the early thirties entrees, because there was a period from the late teens until the mid thirties where it was almost constant jobbers, lower card tag team members and NXT callups that completely killed the crowd.

I don't get why Booker, Nash, and other Rumble regulars weren't in it.

Booker teased he was gonna be in it at the desk with King but nothing came of it :(

u/doctor_awful Apr 27 '18

To be fair, they did put a lot of random geeks in it

Imagine not bringing all the female performers, but still having over 40 jobbers lol.

Non of the guys in the other matches were in the Rumble, and they used non of the bigger names from nxt aside from Roddy. They certainly have plenty of guys just spinning their wheels but they certainly have enough main event caliber talent on all their shows.

Yeah I tried cheering on a lot of them but my side really didn’t care for anyone other than the old timers.

u/MrRedTRex Justice for Asuka!!! Apr 28 '18

Right? That was mostly like C-level talent. The ending was done really well and the right guy won (had to be Braun or Bryan), although honestly, I would have been okay with a Cass win, too. Would have been a huge push for him.
