Why would people want to skip Adam's recaps of stuff, they're absolutely the best part of these videos imo. Especially since it largely devolves into angry ranting.
“WALTER steps up to Omos, Chops him and Omos IMMEDIATELY dies!” God damn it Adam! I couldn’t breathe after hearing that! Amazing work as always, Adam!!
I haven't watched any wrestling in a while, but I always come back for the Royal Rumble, and hearing "let's get Ciampa out of NXT before more damage is done" made me realize that we truly are in the darkest timeline
@@kangoftherang7468 Been watching since '02 Left in 2017 but been watching since money in the bank Smackdown is very cool repetitive yeah but fun to watch Been watching AEW since 2021.Not been great for a couple of weeks but All out was the best ppv I ever saw
I really appreciate the preamble you start with in these videos Adam, never stop doing it where it's appropriate. Love the context it provides as much as the booking itself to be honest. Keep up the quality content.
For the record, I prefer listening to Adam talk about the real booking circumstances before he has a go at them. The only timestamps that have ever really been necessary are for skipping the native advertising.
Though I wouldn't like it if he's booking something that is current because I know the current situation I dont need a recap. For older bookings yeah sure you can remind us what it was like prior
@@blablablaa14 Frankly, I don't watch WWE and appreciate being given the context. For many like me, we don't need refreshers on 2002 storylines, but I realize others do, and Adam is funny anyway. It's really just when he's advertising against his will that I could go without it.
I agree with the ending for 3 main reasons. 1: There HAS to be a Edge vs AJ feud! They are 2 of the biggest names ever and it just has to happen before it is too late! 2: Big E winning would be "too simple" and Big:E vs Goldberg (IF E wins) has a nice ring to it! 3: Kevin Owens is the man, he deserves it so very much!
Why would anyone skip the recapping of the story that happened ? Adam's rants about stupid booking decisions are so good ... Plus the dude always cracks me up .
In my mind he did do a recap, but then after finishing the video and realizing that it ended up over 40 minutes long, Oli had him go back and re-tape the beginning to cut it out, with that as the excuse. That being said, give me the Blampied Cut of this video, because I want the rant restored!
@Brandon Mahon a never-ending gimmick / storyline sounds like a John Cena thing. Eventually people will get bored of it, if they're not starting to already
I mean, the Royal Rumble is a booker's dream. Callbacks, interactions for future feuds, the mini match between the final 2/3/4, the surprise entrants... booking the Rumble is actually easy.
I LOVE the preamble and historical context, all building up to what the shortcomings are and then "Let me have a go." very very good stuff please keep it
This would’ve been a far better royal rumble than the one we actually got. Watching this video after having watched the premium alive event. Very disappointed in this year’s royal rumble Adam you always book the storylines better well done great video very entertaining. Way better than the real royal rumble disappointment in WWE again
You should book Big E’s WWE title reign. Then wait for 4 years for Xavier Woods to get a world title reign, let wwe screw it up, then rebook that title reign Cheers Adam🙏🏻
@@destroyerofmorons Yeah, we once said that same thing about Jinder winning the title. Stop acting like the WWE Championship actually has any prestige or weight.
i love the 'big huge intro to provide historical context and background' especially the ones where you rant at WWE like in rebooking Reigns one because it's really funny
There's a lot of good here but honestly the thing I want the most is for Byron to finally get back at Corey Graves, Graves is a proper smug prick in and out of character and it'd be great to see Saxton finally get his own, maybe punctuate the beat down with a cheeky "Be a star" into the mic, Corey would be a perfect mid card heel assuming he actually wants to return to wrestling and they could replace him on commentary with I dunno, Wade Barrett, because I love that man and everything he does.
If he just became a wrestler, he'd be let go within a year. I know some people don't like his commentary work. Personally there has not been a new commentator who's impressed me in the last decade other than Graves and Excalibur.
Hmmm it's going to be a no from me dog. Byron is basically a slightly more upbeat version of David Otunga and so letting him do anything outside of commentary will most likely not get over at all.
Damn, I wished this is the one that actually happened instead of what we got yesterday. Usual WWE quality from their part at this point, and that's far from a compliment. For Adam, thank you for giving me hope because in an alternative timeline we get this Royal Rumble.
I'm curious how you would book Aces and Eights? I know it's not WWE but it was genuinely one of the most polarizing factions for wrestling fans at the time and I'm curious your thoughts on it. Keep up the good work!
🤚🏾 this guy appreciates the preambles. Every time. No exceptions. Just saying. Also this has clearly been recorded before Ronda was announced. In which case I'd have Ronda win (and Bayley doesn't return until Smackdown), by Bianca still wins in the chamber and makes it a triple threat at Mania.
@@yedffgd how dare you make a mistake. Like a human being. You know what i want you to do now? Just go on living your life, preferably happy, preferably learning & growing, preferably treating others well. YEAH I SAID IT!!!🔥🔥🔥
I like this everytime he does them, but I think Rey is going to do very well in the Rumble. They are going to promote the WWE2K22 cover star a little bit
I would love to hear Adam's take on booking the Hardys' run up to retirement, because I can't imagine either of them have more than a few more years left in them based on recent interviews, and they're absolute legends.
I actually enjoy the preamble more than the fantasy booking part. It's nice to have a fairly candid review of a certain angle, event or wrestler to set the scene.
Oh gosh, I'm enjoying this ridiculously. Your enthusiasm is infectious, reminds me why the Rumble was fun in the first place. I haven't watched one in a hot minute, this is actually making me want to watch WWE for the first time in like, 4 years.
Pie in the sky, I think they've finally shown that all the members of the New Day can work in a singles role. Would it not be an incredible final three to have the New Day friendship triple threat, where they all know each others' offense, they all want to push hard but not too hard, but as the match continues, one of them realizes, more than the others, that to win, they'll have to take things just a little more seriously. I don't think there's been a rumble final with a three-man team where all three could legitimately make it happen (Woods wouldn't win, but he would be stoked for this, you know he'd get tossed around that ring by E and kicked by Kofi any day)
It is now…they had to cancel the Eddie Kingston interview cause of scheduling issues…but Luke did have a 45 minute show with Angela discussing the rumble…
Adam Blampied, you still got it. Whether or not I agree with your ideas, you're always entertaining in how you tell the story behind them. Keep on being awesome! (for the record, in this case, I think this would be an overall really good and entertaining Royal Rumble if you were hired to book it)
This video really put into perspective how much of a pleasant surprise it would be to have Riddle turn on Randy. Orton had an incredible heel run the last couple years, why not do the unexpected and have heel Riddle. Could be one of the biggest swerves in the modern era if done right
I love the preambles you do, Adam. Especially with the rebooking videos as sometimes I would forget what happened during that time lol example of which was the Kane/John Cena storyline, I forgot a lot about that feud other than what they did to Zack Ryder.
I disagree with the Corey spot, I don't want Corey's big return to be a minute bit, he should be given a decent amount of time and if doesn't put on the lucky 13 Ill be an angy boy
Very, Very Nice! Wish I saw his Rumble instead of what I went to go actually see. (I was at the Rumble Live) Kinda spooky how Adam had AJ at #1 and Samy Zayn and Johnny from Jackass meet. (Especially since it happened that way.)
I booked the same thing for the ending of the Royale Rumble and Seth rollins match! But I had Seth Rollins win via KO interference. I think it's a very neat knot on the entire KO feud from many moons ago. And having the two heels just laugh about having a match at mania, making that team, and then locking it in at RR is two sweet. But in my booking Big E wins some match, maybe the elimination chamber to force himself into the KO and SR match. I think the best ending to the KO and SR feud HAS to be a multi man match, where they can FINALLY turn on each other.
16:22 to 17:00 was funny to me for some reason. Maybe just the way Adam described Byron getting payback on Corey, not sure, but that “that’s all that I can stands, I can’t stands no more” cracked me up the first time I saw it.
I’ll be in attendance! Can’t wait to be at the first live Rumble since 2020 and my first Rumble. Been giddy since I got the tickets! And got even more excited when this video popped up!
Why would people want to skip Adam's recaps of stuff, they're absolutely the best part of these videos imo. Especially since it largely devolves into angry ranting.
That's what I'm saying! Angry Adam rants are absolute gold.
His John Cena one was amazing
The booking of Kieth Lee one makes me laugh every single time
Even when I rewatch these vids I never skip the recaps
The recaps are the funniest part of the videos.
WWE must've heard Adam say "Nothing can kill my love for the Royal Rumble!" and then went "Hold my beer".
“WALTER steps up to Omos, Chops him and Omos IMMEDIATELY dies!” God damn it Adam! I couldn’t breathe after hearing that! Amazing work as always, Adam!!
Gunther*
@@noahp1124 NEVER!!! 😂😂😂
And also "... but he just, BANG! Both of them die!"
That was wonderful
He killed the Street Prophets twice, someone stop WALTER!

AEW has pushed WWE to be better in last couple of months and AEW has started to be abit pale

Do a "How Adam Would Book Big E's WWE Title reign"
I'm behind this
Do it
A thousand times yes
By not making him champion at all
Yes. It was worse than kofi's reign
"stop him, kill him, before he lays eggs"
I'm STILL laughing
I agree with the ending for 3 main reasons.
1: There HAS to be a Edge vs AJ feud! They are 2 of the biggest names ever and it just has to happen before it is too late!
2: Big E winning would be "too simple" and Big:E vs Goldberg (IF E wins) has a nice ring to it!

How depressing is it to watch this after the real rumble with how good this is and how they were perfectly capable of doing it.
Adam, how can you have Bryan Saxton get physical and not have him do the greatest finisher in the history of professional wrestling - The Saxtonation.
I LOVE the preamble and historical context, all building up to what the shortcomings are and then "Let me have a go." very very good stuff please keep it
Adam, never stop with your recaps! They’re incredible!

"Nothing WWE can do can dampen my enthusiasm for the Royal Rumble" pictures taken just before disaster. :)
I'm Watching this on the Tuesday after the rumble. and Man this would have been so much better.
“Can we just start this year with some happiness?”
The entire 2022 Royal Rumble: “Lmao no can do.”
Finn Baylor comment with the voice made me spit-take, lol

Has to come out at 13
NOT 12, ADAM
Even better. Unlucky 13 entirely of his own making because he pushed Saxton too far and got his comeuppance
You actually predicted the number 1 Royal Rumble entry. You're based.
WWE should be embarrassed watching this man obliterate an entire department. Last night was atrocious.
Gotta say, love the preambles. Great vid, happy rumble season
"Can we please give Big E some nice things in 2022?" I'm sad now
Very, Very Nice!
Wish I saw his Rumble instead of what I went to go actually see. (I was at the Rumble Live)
Kinda spooky how Adam had AJ at #1 and Samy Zayn and Johnny from Jackass meet. (Especially since it happened that way.)
I'd love to see how Adam would book Ospreay, Okada and Ibushi to AEW
One thing I loved about this, he left out over the top surprise people (like Impact/RoH/AEW wrestlers. He kept it grounded in reality
Phenomenal (forearm) booking 👏
Btw, that chokeslam variant you mentioned is the Tree Slam....and your Vince impression is perfect.
Just watched the mans rumble and i have to say, please Adam go do the writing stuff in wwe , that rumble was such a mess
1. WWE doesn't want their writers to be fans of the product.
2. Adam to big to be ghost.
3. * Blampied's voice * God is dead.
I booked the same thing for the ending of the Royale Rumble and Seth rollins match! But I had Seth Rollins win via KO interference. I think it's a very neat knot on the entire KO feud from many moons ago. And having the two heels just laugh about having a match at mania, making that team, and then locking it in at RR is two sweet. But in my booking Big E wins some match, maybe the elimination chamber to force himself into the KO and SR match. I think the best ending to the KO and SR feud HAS to be a multi man match, where they can FINALLY turn on each other.
Khali's Two Handed Choke Slam was called the Punjabi Plunge if I remember right... So for Omos this would be the Nigerian Nosedive.
Women's Rumble Overview starts at 0:57

Hi Adam
Hahahaha nice!🤣
Based.
How Adam would book... ACES and EIGHTS! First TNA BOOKING LETS GO!
How Adam Woud Book Wcw In Year 2001 or 2000
Some of this is better than what actually happened. Especially the part between the start and the finish
I want to see that Corey Graves - Byron Saxton spot now. That sounds great. 😅
0:10 Well that aged well
I really wish they had listened to this guy.
Minor correction though...asuka carried the women's division during the pandemic era.
*when a fan booking is better than the actuall matches*
#1 being AJ and #2 Being Theory was surprisingly close
Didn't know how much I wanted the AJ Styles Phenomenal Forearm running gag until Adam talked about it here.
Honestly seeing Byron Saxton beat the hell out of anyone on screen would be hilarious
That AJ Style running gag had me rolling. True comedy
Literally everything Adam said WWE did the opposite, LMAO
I like how watching this after the Rumble, he pretty much predicted the World Championship match and Universal Championship match, except backwards
anyone watching this after watching that dumpster fire of a PPV last night?
16:22 to 17:00 was funny to me for some reason. Maybe just the way Adam described Byron getting payback on Corey, not sure, but that “that’s all that I can stands, I can’t stands no more” cracked me up the first time I saw it.
I’ll be in attendance! Can’t wait to be at the first live Rumble since 2020 and my first Rumble. Been giddy since I got the tickets! And got even more excited when this video popped up!
First live Rumble since 2020 lol, incredible
Keep the recaps, love your context givings. They're very funny and good
I agree with you Adam. I'd love to see Owens Vs Rollins at Mania.
Adam booking a Royal Rumble. Even for 33 minutes and 30 seconds, all feels right with the world.
This would have been a hell of a lot better than what we got smh
even the men’s rumble was boring as hell
I love how Adam's Vince impression is just a really good Richard Nixon
