I think Priest is fine right now. He's way too tough looking to have the soft gimmick he had before. I don't mind that they're making him out to be crazy when he gets mad

So you'd say you're a big fan of the DAMIAN side....dun dun dun

 

[Chris]

I like the cuddly Priest side myself, seems like a nice bloke

I think this may have already been reported, but this is cool.

Not that it's saying a lot but he looked more natural in the ring than Shane did for sure

Yeah I thought he looked good, like both times he's shut me up. Whilst he was in it, he did some quality stuff. I just think the way they handled the surprise entrants was not that good. Shane/Bad Bunny coming out so late & Brock clearing house. Just felt so weird lmao.

 

[Chris]

Bad Bunny just felt like another entrant tbh which is a way is good i guess, he didn't see out of place or anything but they weren't really hype for him on commentary either outside of at first with the end of the match feeling so rushed

His destroyer is actually NICE. That sell by Riddle too

 

[Hoss]

I prefer the nightlife Damian Priest gimmick when he had all the bitches in the jacuzzi.

Wow. Bad Bunny has more to himself than I thought. I'm getting more impressed with his work.

The original plan for the Men's Rumble winner was Riddle, PWInsider.com has learned. Plans were changed over the course of the week a ton of times with the final decision to have Brock Lesnar enter and win as a surprise. At one point, there was a pitch for Randy Orton to win as well, but Riddle was the frontrunner until the switch to Brock was made.

Lol helluva surprise that Brock Lesnar winning the Rumble huh

 

[Deezy]

`Switch to Brock....like that wasn't the plan the whole time.

Vince lost the plot. People would be annoyed. GameSpot had a recap/results article, and one writer said: "Brock Lesnar being in the Rumble is rather predictable."

I would have been majorly excited over Riddle winning, the crowd would have been all over it as well. Definitely a winner that would have shocked me, as he wasn't really someone I was considering all that much.

I would be, too. Brock winning is akin to Bryan entering the Rumble, and expected to win, but when Reigns got the win, they BOO'ed him out of the building. This is a repeat of THAT.
