Jericho is very much the Bobby Heenan of this Rumble.

Stone Cold Steve Austin as a porn star would either make the Attitude Era go on 10 years or be the reason the company is dead. No middle ground.

Why does Michaels keep doing superkicks as a standard move? It’s the 1991 version.

Seriously, past winners entering early is the theme of this Rumble.

I hope Taker comes in at #30 and immediately eliminates himself again. Just now remembered that was this game and maaaaaaaaan, I’m excited!

The NBA and other professional sports leagues are a different animal profit wise than WWE. That being said, I’d guess Reigns makes more than $5 million per. Sure but if it’s not at least $10m, dude’s being ripped off. Simple as.

Yes, Okada can have 80 star matches with Billy & Omega in AEW. Or have enough money to buy an island in WWE. But what sets either company apart is the ability to hang with his BFF Chuck Taylor. I mean, it’s not like AEW is cheapening these talent either. Especially since they were outbid on Ibushi, White and Ospreay. And just to add to this; you’d hope people who work for WWE should be able to buy an island. Roman Reigns is their top guy and he’s being paid the same a year as freaking Bismack Biyombo.

I've said this for years, WWE's treatment of Cena, after how Taker, Austin, Rock etc have been is super weird to me. I'm not even expecting Superman Cena again but it just feels like Cena losing should mean more than it does and it doesn't. So yeah, if, say, Cena won the US title and vacated it, I'd be down. Give him something to chew on instead of "Austin Theory poked him a bit" and boom, match! He’s won the US title like 6 times. I say either do that with the IC title or just give him his well deserved #17 The more broader point being basically give him a bone. He's more than earned it and all the losses are just making it hard for me to potentially invest in anything he's in, especially if he's going to give as much effort as he did with Theory last year.

But the big thing here that no one talks about is that Endeavor is 100% using WWE to prop up UFC because UFC isn't profitable right now..so do they want to take on more high dollar contracts? Honestly, I haven't either but it makes a lot of sense. You're not seeing them talking about WWE contracts or new deals being made, most of the focus on TKO's end is about UFC and the shows coming up because, like, WWE doesn't need the help. Rumble's going to do well, Perth's selling well, WrestleMania just needs the one match to sell the rest of its seats. UFC can't seem to get matches happening for various reasons so I get it.
