WingedEagle Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Apparently the Philly crowd didn't get the memo that this match is good and they should appreciate how much time its been given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'll never get this am/pm stuff. It's 1:42 am of course. It's night-time. And Shelton Benjamin is actively boring me. I miss the New Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 @El-P - Nous te réveillerons when it ends. Or maybe you can wake us. Merci bien. It's only 1:30 PM here, so I don't need coffee yet. Appreciate it not running too long as well. Yep. That was actually refreshing. I don't think the Kane match will run long either. It won't, right ? From your lips to Vince's ears. Entrances for that match should run close to 10 minutes, by which point it may already feel a bit long.

EricR Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'm doing a lightly behind live blog over at Segunda Caida: http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2018/01/wwe-royal-rumble-2018-live-blog.html Really liked the Revival tag on the pre show, nice stuff with them taking apart Anderson's knee.

El-P Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Is this match going broadway? Sure feels like it already. I miss the Authors of Pain. Is Benjamin considered any good ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Well that was underwhelming. Some impressive spots but this fell flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Seriously an incredible first fall and then a 2nd fall out of nowhere. Two straight falls is dumb. I mean if Gable & Benjamin aren't going to win tonight then there isn't much chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Enthusiast Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Well that was underwhelming. Some impressive spots but this fell flat. Yeah, I have faith in the Usos vs anyone but that just got weird in the second fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.S. Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Terrible match and booking - a total burial for Benjamin and Gable. Did jacked Benjamin get popped by a Wellness test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Usos vs. Gable & Benjamin was a ton better than that crowd would have you believe. Odd to go 2-0 with the second fall that quick, but work in the first fall was terrific from the heat to the stretch run. ***1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Benjamin is proof positive that just having TEH MOOVEZ doesn't make you automatically charismatic. Didn't we learn this lesson 10+ years ago from him? Decent match, though, even with the weird rushed ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childs Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I try not to be a stick in the mud but feels wrong for the Rumble to start in the first hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 So the women are closing the show. I hope fans are respectful and don't start leaving if it's an underwhelming match half way in or something. Though if they start leaving if Steph enters I couldn't help but laugh.

FMKK Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Women going last then. Maybe it's because a much rumoured person is showing up, or maybe it just means Roman is winning this one lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Odd finish. The Usos and Gable are excellent, but Benjamin is just there, and not even in a Tim Horner way. Good-ish match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
