WWE ROYAL RUMBLE

KALISTO, GRAN METALIK & LINCE DORADO vs. TJP, JACK GALLAGHER & DREW GULAK (13:20): Gran Metalik is awesome. He should just go back to Mexico because his awesomeness is meaningless when he's stuck wrestling in a match like this before a mostly empty arena an hour and a half before the show even starts. 205Live has been a total disaster and it got worse last week when the WWE fired the 205Live champ, Enzo Amore, for raping a 19 year old. This was superfluous fun while it lasted. **

THE REVIVAL vs. LUKE GALLOWS & KARL ANDERSON (9:10): Remember how great The Revival were on NXT? Yeah, what happened? -No Stars-

BOBBY ROODE vs. MOJO RAWLEY (7:45): Ah...the coveted U.S. title. Roode's entrance is cool. 1/2*

AJ STYLES vs. KEVIN OWENS & SAMI ZAYN (15:55): Good match. I'd have rather seen a singles match between any of these three. This all seems to be leading to either a Shane vs. Owens match (which already happened at Hell in a Cell) or a Shane vs. Daniel Bryan match (which can't happen because Bryan isn't cleared to wrestle). So what is the point? **1/2

THE USO'S vs. CHAD GABLE & SHELTON BENJAMIN "2 OUT OF 3 FALLS" (13:55): The first fall was excellent and action packed by the end...then The Uso's quickly did a roll-up for the second fall and won and it was quickly over. The WWE really needs to start giving matches more time...although they gave two hours plus to the Rumbles and they were both too long. But this match deserved more. **1/2

MEN'S ROYAL RUMBLE (SHINSUKE NAKAMURA) (1:05:33): My pick won. The crowd booed Reigns like he was Hitler. Rey Mysterio and The Hurricane, Shane Helms, were surprises. Finn Balor lasted most of the match. Reigns and Nakamura were the last two left. This was slow in spots and too long but the crowd was great and loud and it was entertaining. **1/2

CAESARO & SHEAMUS vs. SETH ROLLINS & JUSTIN JORDAN (12:49): Jordan got hurt and dazed and so most of this was a 2 on 1 match and Caesaro and Sheamus won the tag titles. This was a bore. After the Rumble the crowd was dead and tired. *

BROCK LESNAR vs. KANE vs. BRAUN STROWMAN (10:55): Wow. Only ten minutes? Kane sucks. They broke tables and two announce tables. Lesnar pinned Kane. It was just okay. **

WOMEN'S ROYAL RUMBLE (ASUKA) (59:10): A women's Rumble match is a good idea. What's not a good idea is having two Rumble's on one show. It's too much of the same thing (two hour's worth). The problem with this match was that a bunch of old stars came out like Trish Stratus, Lita, Michelle McCool, Jackie, and Vickie Guerrero. They all got big pops but turned the match into a sloppy mess. The final three were the Bella twins and Asuka. Since the Bella twins don't even wrestle anymore it was obvious that Asuka was winning, robbing the finale of any drama. Ronda Rousey showed up after the Rumble and pointed to the Wrestlemania sign. So...why wasn't she just in the Rumble? Weird. *1/2
