I had a vision in my head where we think Jey won the rumble but then as he celebrates The ghost of Terry Funk appears and throws Jey out and announces to the world "I've changed the rules I'm the winner now"
One the very few wrestling Internet personalities who I genuinely can't wait to hear his opinion knowing no basis or rumours will get in the way of and honest and greay review
Joe Hendry may not have lasted long in the Men's Rumble, but he still made history as the first TNA Champion to enter the match, he made Sheamus believe (who then complained to Jacob Fatu for attacking Hendry, which was amazing), & he had one of the biggest pops of the whole show. Also, there's no shame in being able to say "It took Roman Reigns to eliminate the TNA World Champion from the Royal Rumble".
13:29 Don't forget the "CODY SUCKS EGGS" Somewhere, the ghost of Terry Funk must've changed the rules of KO's wardrobe. "I've changed the rules, wear this shirt now."
@ 100% agree. It's the best since the women's MITB ladder match last year, but I do think it's in a different league to most recent ladder matches in wrestling
They did a fun tease of Iyo Sky v Giulia. Giulia was partially trained by Iyo's sister, and Iyo was leaving Stardom just as Giulia was coming in so they never got to cross paths there.
@ Tbf, the announcers just treated it like two random Japanese Talents meeting. Perfect time for Barret or Cole to say "This is interesting, Giulia was actually trained by Iyo's sister" and get the story moving as not that many in North America watch Stardom.
@@ryanstewart4444Also, there were lots of women in the ring, so their blocking was majorly affected, Should there be less women or everyone was lying and they're the 2 standing, then it could've got a reaction
Penta being the ironman this year and some of the moments he had shows that WWE has something big planned for him. He was doing double team moves with Roman Reigns of all people.
This Rumble is gonna live on in my head forever. Mostly because this was my very first live wrestling show. I had a blast watching it, discovered I may have what it takes to be a commentator, and got to see some incredible matches.
With how long it was from the curtain to the ring I like how they used that for a comedy spot. When Piper came in to save Chelsea and Chelsea was tapping her wrist and yelling "hurry up" and it cuts to Piper just jogging in
The Rumble matches went about a combined 2.5 hours, so add on pre-match packages/ads and the post-match celebrations they took up about 3 hours total, leaving an hour for the last two matches (one being a WWE title match with a heated feud). That doesn't seem that bad to me. EDIT: The men's Rumble went 1:20 and it felt like it went way faster than the women's (1:10), probably because it was paced better and had less dead spots than the women's.
Charlotte winning was as predictable as when we saw Rousey and Lesnar enter their rumbles in 2022. She better put Tiffy over, bc if they feed her to Charlotte, tehy're wasting Tiffy
I remember first seeing Joe hendry in WCPW like 6 years ago or something. So happy to see him getting big these days. That man has some potential. I believe in Joe hendry
Anyone else notice that Roman was in the rumble for almost 5 minutes before the next 2 entrants got in? Gotta love the new ticker at the bottom proving that the 2-minute rule doesnt matter.
I've never seen a more stark disconnect between the IWC and the general public. To the general public, Jey Uso is second only to Cody as being the most popular person in the company right now. Meanwhile the IWC is choosing to ignore that and exclusively focus on his flaws.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Jey uso is definitely not my favorite, and despite what people may say, he's pretty good in the ring. He's no aj styles or anything but he's a reliable hand. He's super charismatic and is over as hell. The same things that they say about Jey could he said about The Rock too. "Just 5 moves and a catchphrase"
can I offer the point that being derivative of the men's titles actually hurts them somewhat, as they don't have the established history behind them to help carry the names. At least if they had original names it gives them more freedom to be their own thing, with their own legacy. Rather than just an in name only just because there's a men's one. Also would mean you wouldn't have to keep putting womens at the start of everything
@@TatsuChiI like the uniformity of belts. It keeps things streamlined and takes out the guesswork. AEW has the issue with having too many belts and I've felt confused in not knowing if it's a mid-card belt, a lower-card belt, a prop belt, and so forth. Keeping uniformity removes that issue.
I think that is what Brian is saying just have different names. I still think they should have just called it the Liberty Championship instead of Women's United States Championship - same idea but with a twist to make a fresh start for the women
There’s a right time and a wrong time to complain about how long the story goes. I think Cody should’ve won at Wrestlemania 39 because there’s gonna come a time when people are going to get tired of his reign (especially now with a bunch of interference) is (almost) the right time and complaining about a Rumble winner without the story unfolding after the fact is the wrong time.
For my money, Fat Lip is the best pop punk song there is. Bummed they retired, but musicians are only second to wrestlers when it comes to going back on retirements so maybe we'll see them again
So fun Fact with Bianca's appearance in this rumble her combined time has put her at 6th overall if you combine both mens and womens times. Shes roughly 4 minutes behind the H-Man himself. Roman to Punk: We were teaming a month ago Me: But Roman its every man for himself
it was a waste of a win. hes going after the world heavyweight championship. and that sob roman reigns can still challenge for the wwe championship 😒😒😒
@leelostickun5528 If you think Reigns isn't gonna face Rollins or Rock this year you're delusional. Punk's favour from Heyman is gonna keep Reigns out of the title match bare minimum.
To paraphrase what Santizap said about the women's royal rumble, "three days are certain in life... death, taxes, and Charlotte Flair winning everything." And if Jey wins at WrestleMania, I feel that the chase will be better than the actual reign.
@@melvinandrade2682 the chase is gonna be mediocre. He's never come close to main event caliber performances and he's never been a credible threat to Gunther so how are we supposed to believe he can win?
@@SchmergDergen To be fair, the only REAL main eventers are Roman, Cody, Punk and Brock (if he ever comes back). Everyone else is just various levels of midcard with guys like Owens, Rollins, Gunther and Drew being the guys who job to these main eventers but otherwise get presented as big deals. OK, Owens is a bit lower on the totem pole than Rollins and Drew as he's regularly sent back to the secondary championships as opposed to say fighting for the super midcard title currently held by Gunther. I grew up in the Hulkamania era where there was really just ONE main eventer. I guess three is better than one, although two are part timers...
Giulia and Stephanie are not facing off at Vengeance Day. Stephanie is facing Fallon for the NA championship. And Giulia is probably facing Bayley and Roxanne in a triple threat.
I like how KO played the role of Mick Foley in the ladder match. Basically being so brutal and forcing the baby face champ to unleash a bit of the dark side and give him more of an edge.
Now would be a good time for a “Charolette Flair in WWE” video because I’m dying to know how many times in her career has she taken a break then immediately got a world title shot upon returning
I'm one of those people who watched WWE throughout my childhood and stopped. but now that it's on Netflix, I've been getting back into it. but omg the shows are SO long, I can't get through an entire show
Feels like a lot of the anger towards this rumble is people projecting what they think WWE *should* be and criticizing it from a flawed perspective. Jey isn’t an in-ring savant at all, but he’s the most over babyface in the company. Obviously subjectively you can hate the ring work and the character, but the decision is a dope, bold decision by them.
He's so over despite the sort of limited in-ring ability as a singles wrestler. People seem to forget that so many WWE wrestlers who got super over weren't exactly the best in-ring generals like Hogan or Cena in his early years.
John Cena teetering like a looney tunes character when he and Jey go to the apron had me in stitches. It's still genuinely kinda crazy that we've come out on the other side where so many people, myself included, would've liked to see Cena win this one. He looked like he was having the time of his life out there.
Many people aren't fond of both rumble winners. But as Brian said, it's a way to give more fresh faces a chance. Let's just hope WWE doesn't botch this up!
@@seanomatopoeia Yeah, but a lot of fans who aren't ingrained in the online discussions or don't really pay attention to the wrestling itself don't seem to care based on how big the reactions are for him live.
As someone who didn't watch the Rumble PLE live and intentionally stayed away from social media over the weekend, I thank you for not giving away the winner in the thumbnail, Brian. I also agree that Jey winning was a big surprise as I thought it was going to be Cena. However, I'm curious to see how it all plays out. Who knows? Maybe we'll get an arc with Jey that is similar to that of what Sami did last year when it comes to toppling Gunther for the World Heavyweight Title. S/N: Essentially, the Alpha Academy got to keep their name after Gable disowned them and created American Made by teaming up with what used to be Diamond Mine.
Were definitely going to see Jimmy Uso win the US title and Jey Uso win the World title at Mania this year and it will be a cool visual for the brothers.
I will say that we often complain about WWE being too predictable. When the match was down to John Cena and Jey Uso, I was convinced that Cena was going to win. Imagine my surprise when he didn’t I was genuinely shocked!
I personally would love for Cena to face Bron Breakker at WM! Have him go for the one belt he's never had, the one the Undertaker never won in his whole career. Whether or not Cena wins the IC belt, I feel him facing Bron would help Bron's stock regardless.
Imo, Jey deserves the win. He's been proving himself since 2021. I get why people dont like it or because he lost to Gunther a week prior. But y'all forget that there are stories to tell with Jey for Mania
Honestly Brian, because of you I was actively looking out for that damn WM13 Battle Royal shot and I was shocked when they didn't use it! I think you may be right though that they snuck a couple of more recent ones but I genuinely don't know.
Jey Uso has crazy potential for this to either be a Shinsuke win where by SummerSlam its clear there is no desire to push him, or this can be the breakout moment. Even if he loses
I dont mind Jey winning. He just better bring it for WM and honestly Gunther is too good as a heel champ, so ill be sad when he loses. The bloodline storyline never ends
I'll agree they could've held off Crips going into the HoF. But while I will never be his greatest supporter, I cannot deny that he is more deserving than most. He was never less than a very skilled pro-wrestler. But yea, they could've given it a year or two. I am glad to learn that he didn't just put himself in.
I was there for the Rumble in person. DIY vs MCMG would have been a Takeover Classic around 2016 It sucks because they had to follow up a women’s Rumble match while the crowd was getting ready for the KO/Cody match The Men’s Rumble is one of the best I’ve ever seen
Brian I was at the Royal rumble Saturday and I got to tell you it was an amazing atmosphere The fact that we have the Royal rumble in my hometown Indianapolis Indiana I could say that I had fun me and my girlfriend took so much videos and pictures and we had fun I'm so happy that Jey Uso won the rumble even though I predicted John Cena to win
I like Speed's enthusiasm but Bad Bunny was a true hardcore wrestling fan. Speed is just someone that's rather pick soccer and be as close to his idol than took brutal bumps for 20 mins on a canvas. Not saying he was bad though but you know what I mean.
The Kaiser elimination (especially with the added context that he was technically eliminated by an already “eliminated” guy) was far funnier than it had any right to be lol my daughter and I were dying 😂🤣

My main critique of this Rumble is that it should not have been a 4+ hour show with only two matches on top of the two Rumble matches themselves.
They should’ve had at least 2 more matches, they did the same thing last year. Give the stars that weren’t gonna be in the rumble a match.
My main critique is if you're in the rumble look like you're doing something and not just hanging out in the corner.

So fun Fact with Bianca's appearance in this rumble her combined time has put her at 6th overall if you combine both mens and womens times. Shes roughly 4 minutes behind the H-Man himself.

I don’t get all the hate for Jey winning. Charlotte I get, but Jey deserves it.
He is a tag team guy not Top Guy
He's a jobber in any other era
Jey main events suck when he isn't being carried by a Samoan.
I'm willing to see how Jey goes. I won't jump onto bandwagons like everyone else.
One thing we know for sure, Elimination Chamber is going to be stacked.
being there in person was amazing. waited 20+ years to do that.
Were definitely going to see Jimmy Uso win the US title and Jey Uso win the World title at Mania this year and it will be a cool visual for the brothers.
That’d be cool for Jimmy too
Alexa bliss 2016 was everything!
I will say that we often complain about WWE being too predictable. When the match was down to John Cena and Jey Uso, I was convinced that Cena was going to win. Imagine my surprise when he didn’t I was genuinely shocked!
Same
I personally would love for Cena to face Bron Breakker at WM! Have him go for the one belt he's never had, the one the Undertaker never won in his whole career. Whether or not Cena wins the IC belt, I feel him facing Bron would help Bron's stock regardless.
I like the big heel move of CM Punk's favor taking Jay's spot at Mania.
Imo, Jey deserves the win. He's been proving himself since 2021. I get why people dont like it or because he lost to Gunther a week prior. But y'all forget that there are stories to tell with Jey for Mania
That double stomp was such a thing of beauty
Honestly Brian, because of you I was actively looking out for that damn WM13 Battle Royal shot and I was shocked when they didn't use it!
I think you may be right though that they snuck a couple of more recent ones but I genuinely don't know.
Pentas feet 100 percent touched...I cant believe fans did start booing...iam shocked
Now that Jey Uso won the Royal Rumble, does this mean Jimmy Uso is a "Marty Jennetty?"
Jimmy is a wrestlemania main eventer. He's no Jannety.
Did Jimmy escape through a barber shop window like a coward yet?
Jey Uso has crazy potential for this to either be a Shinsuke win where by SummerSlam its clear there is no desire to push him, or this can be the breakout moment. Even if he loses
Michael cole losing his voice sound
Like he was choking on popcorn.😂
I dont mind Jey winning. He just better bring it for WM and honestly Gunther is too good as a heel champ, so ill be sad when he loses. The bloodline storyline never ends
I'll agree they could've held off Crips going into the HoF. But while I will never be his greatest supporter, I cannot deny that he is more deserving than most. He was never less than a very skilled pro-wrestler.
But yea, they could've given it a year or two. I am glad to learn that he didn't just put himself in.
Hunter: _“Say my booking is predictable. One. More. Time.”_
Does this mean Jey is the only guy to win the Andre The giant memorial battle royal and win the royal rumble?
Technically Braun won Andre and Greatest Royal Rumble but I feel like it’s not canon in WWE
Awesome video I enjoyed it
Zoey Starks is under utilized
That Bump that Kevin Owens took.. My goodness that looked soo good.
My friends and I actually started a drinking game for every kip-up in the Women's Rumble. It was quite a night xD
I was there for the Rumble in person. DIY vs MCMG would have been a Takeover Classic around 2016
It sucks because they had to follow up a women’s Rumble match while the crowd was getting ready for the KO/Cody match
The Men’s Rumble is one of the best I’ve ever seen
Brian I was at the Royal rumble Saturday and I got to tell you it was an amazing atmosphere The fact that we have the Royal rumble in my hometown Indianapolis Indiana I could say that I had fun me and my girlfriend took so much videos and pictures and we had fun I'm so happy that Jey Uso won the rumble even though I predicted John Cena to win
I love when Joe Hendry entered he pointed at the one guy behind the entrance that had a sign for him
Holy Shit that ladder match though... some of the most vicious bumps I've ever seen, CR & KO put on a masterpiece of a show
Uso was so out of nowhere it almost offset the fact that everyone knew Flair was winning the second she was added.
I hope IShowSpeed goes the route of Bad Bunny and gets an amazing match down the line
I like Speed's enthusiasm but Bad Bunny was a true hardcore wrestling fan.
Speed is just someone that's rather pick soccer and be as close to his idol than took brutal bumps for 20 mins on a canvas. Not saying he was bad though but you know what I mean.
Thats a great take on Jey Uso winning the rumble
The Kaiser elimination (especially with the added context that he was technically eliminated by an already “eliminated” guy) was far funnier than it had any right to be lol my daughter and I were dying 😂🤣
Thanks for the review Brian
