The most stupendous of all Royal Rumbles (NO WOMEN ALLOWED!) 12pm eastern - Page 2

Amazing how they meshed different clips of completely non-related stuff all together to make people think HHH & John Cena are actually in the middle of some kind of feud.

If anyone else said "Big Match Cena", I'd think they were making a really bad joke. With Booker, I believe that he believes JBL said that over and over.

'Celebrate Saudi Arabias progression' without any women matches.

I can feel the historic progression.

Wow, the champ's actually coming out last here. Interesting.

I heard that HHH has a lot riding on this match. Like ???

This is the first event in Saudi history that women and men can attend together.

First wrestling event - pretty sure I read somewhere they've allowed women into football matches and other sports events for well... at least a few months.

I guess Cena is too busy to go through matches beforehand, since he always talks through what should happen while it's going on?

Some googling says that you're correct. Women were allowed into stadiums starting this year.

My bad.

This match really exposes both guys as the guys that need to have good workers in there with them to get a good-great match. This has been pretty bad so far.

edit: 5ks w/million dollar man fist drop was pretty cool from trips.

Cole saying "THAT'S CLASSIC DX" was cringeworthy bad. Proud of his never ending ability to outdo himself.

Nah, you're point is still kinda valid since it's so recent - it may not be the first, but it's still among the first for 'Saudia Arabias progression'.

Yea, I was going to make a comment about how the guys in the two front rows show no enthusiasm, but then I realized that might just be because they're rightfully bored too.

Edit: One of the guys counted along with the ref just because he was so excited when he realized this match was over.

You know Graves can be a good heel announcer, but when he does this bull**** where he plays objective fan watching he's useless. Might as well have Cole just yap the whole time saying the wrong moves and randomly getting excited about a bunny

Hey at least it ended with a coolish spot and with the right guy winning. That's...something

"A hard earned and well deserved victory for that man John Cena", god shut up Graves. Lawler is rolling over in his grave.

So are these announcers calling this like they are broadcasting to Saudi Arabia, or are they broadcasting to the USA? Some of these calls are ridiculous and insulting.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT. THE GAME JUST KICKED OUT OF AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!!!!

(like, even in kayfabe, that's just not that surprising anymore. Aside from a random Baron Corbin squash or something, when's the last time one single AA won a match?)

How the hell did that match on a Friday afternoon get so many posts?

Taker and Brock have both basically squashed Cena. Cena beats HHH, who has basically lost every year at Mania except for Sting. HHH is the worst of all time and no longer worthy of his big Mania spot?
