The men's RR had some good moments. Funny how it's such a different booking strategy from the women's RR. Going all in on the old guys.

Beer commercials are so sports-ey.

oh take a drink someone said the creepy "tribal blood" thing

The fans can tell when someone gets thrown into "their" screen, right? Why are they so bad at selling it?

Wow! I did not expect Belair to win. That's the way an RR should end. Actually gets you excited about Mania instead of just feeling obvious.

Shayna Baszler always seems like so much lost opportunity. She could be a huge star. She could make wrestling matter again.

There's something kinda sad about a COVID Royal Rumble. No crowd to play off of makes the whole thing feel very staged.

Titles don't matter anymore. The highest honor is now "earning the respect of Goldberg."

Is the main reason they're using Goldberg again so much so they can have the fake crowd noise?

Kinda sorta watching the Royal Rumble. It's the first WWE programming I've watched in a very long time.

they're out here saying the first alternate reality game was in 2001 like this didn't even happen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDsAQYUjdvk

William Jackson Harper shares "disturbing" impact of executive order

That's not *good* booing.

I didn't hate Reigns vs Jey Uso before all the talking started.

This match kind of exemplifies everything wrong with WWE. Everything in this match should be about making Drew Mcintyre look like a million dollars. Be honest: you forgot for a minute there that he was a competitor in the match.

Burying young guys so that old guys can get all their stuff in. And it's not even Wrestlemania season!

This is bad
