What I saw of the Royal Rumble last night, I enjoyed (though ultimately tapped out after Bryan/Styles). But there was one nit that I felt needed to be picked and didn't want to sift through the whole PPV thread to see if someone else picked up on it...
Michael Cole, during the NXT Takever recap, describing the end of the show as "Tommaso Ciampa celebrating with his long-time friend, Johnny Gargano".
Now, I know there's no way they could do justice to the entire two year history between Ciampa and Gargano in the span of a line, especially against the backdrop of setting up a clip from after the show. So why even attempt to set it up that way? Why not just say "While Ciampa and Gargano stood side-by-side as Champions" without having the "long-time friend" included? It just felt like it sanitized their history a little bit.
Done picking. Any other nits from the Rumble to pick out?
