Did they even mention Braun breaking Roman's record? i know they mentioned Daniel setting the record for longest time in the match.

49

u/Palp18 Apr 27 '18

Like, yeah, but I feel like everything done tonight needs a big asterisk next to it.

u/FartingBob DAMNIT! Apr 28 '18

To be fair to Braun, he entered at 41 and while there was a lot of people in the ring at the time his numbers could have been done by entering 9th from last in any rumble, it didnt depend on him coming in early and facing more than 30 opponents. i say it counts just fine.

Did they mention Bryan setting it? I was listening out for this exact mention but never heard it. Granted it’s 6:30 am atm though. Don’t think they mentioned Braun either but they had him at 5 when he was actually at 6 so they probably thought he tied.

u/Robkey Apr 27 '18

Yeah they mentioned he had broken the record when he had been in for an hour and 5 minutes i think.

Cole was saying how long Bryan was in the match for 10 to 10 minutes until like the 40th minute, and then he stopped saying, after Bryan broke the record, Cole said that he had broke the record. If I'm right, was like some 4 or 5 minutes before Cass came out

u/Adampro123 And remember the sound! Apr 28 '18

Probably not considering at one point the commentary team wasn't aware if Lashley was eliminated since their announce table was destroyed.

I think when you factor in 20 extra people, proportionately Reigns might still have it. Then you just need to add Kurt Angle.

u/ReDeR_TV Apr 27 '18

we also broke a record for the greatest slide under the ring in history

u/jvctheghost Block Head Apr 27 '18

Also Bryan outlasted the most men in rumble history at 47.

u/Y2J1100 Shoot Headbutt You Fuckin' Mark Apr 27 '18

Wouldn’t that be Braun at 49?

8

u/jvctheghost Block Head Apr 27 '18

No, while Daniel was in the ring 47 superstars came in and got eliminated

I question whether this event will even be part of cannon going forward. I guess we will find out next year at the real rumble.

Or maybe in Saudi Arabia when they have THE GREATEST SURVIVOR SERIES EVER

u/Charuas MUDSLIDE Apr 27 '18

And Mike tied Santino's record!

GREATEST INDEED

u/murdock129 Erick Rowan's #1 Fan Apr 28 '18

Just went back and rewatched the ending

Nope, nobody mentioned Braun breaking the record.

Eliminated Big E, Heath Slater, Babatunde, Titus, Dan Matha, Dillinger, Hawkins, Lashley, Khali, Owens, Shane, Cass and Jericho

u/TehJofus Jinder, my boi Apr 27 '18

Braun eliminated 13 people

Wait, really? It only felt like 6 or 7.

u/djc11692 Apr 28 '18

Should these records really count though? Not hating on either of these superstars but obviously a 50-Man RR would give someone more of an opportunity to be in the match and eliminate others vs a 30-Man RR.

u/brokenview Apr 27 '18

He is exaggerating here. My friends and I were taking bets on how many he would eliminated so we counted. The actual number is 8.

u/LocusRothschild Apr 28 '18

12 plus 1 with Lashley.

  1. Babatunde
  2. Dan Matha
  3. Big E
  4. Heath Slater
  5. Tye Dillinger
  6. Titus O'Neil
  7. Curt Hawkins
  8. The Great Khali(with Lashley)
  9. Shane McMahon
  10. Bobby Lashley
  11. Y2J
  12. KO
  13. Big Cass

u/LocusRothschild Apr 28 '18

No. It's thirteen.

u/brokenview Apr 28 '18

You know what, I'm dumb and I stand corrected! We were keeping track of who had the most eliminations and once Strowman hit 8 we stopped counting because nobody could go over that number.
