That first 30 mins was not entertaining with Brock tossing everyone out like Jabronis
Second half was fun with the mighty return of Edge and Drew looking like an animal but yeah they did not book this right at all
Shout to Drew tho he looked like a star

There have been worse Rumbles, but yeah, can't say I am terribly fond of how they handled large portions of this.
Glad they had someone new win it, though, and not in fluke fashion. Kudos on that.

Edge was really good. That is the only thing positive I can say about that pile of shit.

I think this may compete with 1999 & 2015.

That brock sequence was genuinely. genuinely one of the worst things I've ever seen WWE or any wrestling company pull. I'd rather watch the sincere but poorly put together lunacy of a TNA big stupid red cage match or a reverse battle royal than watch Brock tank like 15 guys as he gets more and more gassed, and you just know they consider stuff like Keith Lee lasting 20 more seconds than other people or Kofi getting moves in on Brock as star making for Keith and vengeance for Kofi even if Brock ended up eliminating them anyways.

The ending saved it from being worse than the 2015 one, but nothing justifies how bad the first half was
It's a testament to how expendable almost the entire WWE Roster is that they would do that to them.

I found the Brock half very compelling. There were real stakes attached. I prefer it to the formula of Newest Entrant Does His Spots followed by a million skin-the-cats.

I enjoyed it, they went a little too long with the Brock stuff, but I liked what they were going for. They made Drew look like a f***ing beast

The thing is the only interesting stuff was cut away too fast Kofi getting his revenge on Brock was short, Braun/Lee matching Brock in power was good but short but everything else Brock just murking people

I liked the 2nd half, but the first was baaaad and I don't care enough about Drew to feel anything for him winning other than "uhhh okay"

The “let’s have Brock kill everyone” portion was awful and I hated myself for watching it. Once Brock was gone, I enjoyed everything after.
I have to at least put it ahead of 2014 and 2015.

The ending matters. There have been very good Rumbles with awful endings. This made a star, which is what the Rumble should do.

They should have pulled the trigger on Keith eliminating Brock. The Brock thing went too long but if it had been shorter I think would have been interesting and at least something different from other years.

I like trying something new and I enjoyed building up the villain story for a rumble so shrug. Not like most rumbles are not filled with filler eliminations.
