They all are right, outside of the 2 day events and the Saudi ones?

Next Saudi one is I thought too bc I remember thinking it'd be nice not to have to try and watch at work don't remember about the rest but that's fucking great

Fuckin' nice, means I'm definitely staying up for it. Saturday shows are the way forward.

Supposedly the Saturday shows was an idea of Nick Khan. Something of his I actually agree with

At the moment, I'm most hyped for Seth vs Roman, much more than the Rumble matches. I'm not enthused about the women's one, the lineup is pretty meh. The men's one is always fun, but all my excitement is for my boys right now.

Men's Rumble, Roman/Seth and Lashley/Brock for me. One thing I'm glad about this year with the Rumble is I can't really predict who's winning it, unless I missed something. Like there isn't an obvious winner this year or a real stand-out. So I feel like they got more room to do a nice fresh winner this year hopefully. I think Roman & Seth will be MOTN.

Jericho should have won the Rumble. I would have had him win either the 2012-2013 ones personally. He was red hot both years, especially 2013 when he came in with Ziggler at the start. 2012 would have been nice because Sheamus was not that enticing of a choice at the time, although I do like him now.

I remember in the 2013 Rumble when Cena won and Ryback came second - I was in a Rumble pool, I got #30 in it, it was Ryback and then he came runner up. I was so mad

But Jericho was a legit surprise coming in at #2 in that Rumble, I wasn't expecting him at all and I remember I screamed a bit hahaha.

Yeah, I had just got in home in time for the PPV that night, and when the Rumble came up, and Jericho was 2, I was like OHHHHHHHH SHIT! I don't know if rumors popped up that day or nah, as I was out at a local race track for the day. But was so surprised. Love those moments.

The pop Jericho got was insane. Like it's not even like he'd been gone for long, and had been quite active in 2012. He got a pop like he'd been gone for years. I definitely would have had Jericho over Cena that year. The Rumble was quite deflated at the finish despite being an enjoyable one because Cena-Rock rematch was the obvious path.
