Royal Rumble 2001 Live Discussion - January 30, 2020

[Hoss]

I can't stand it when wrestlers get pushed

 

[Mox Girl]

yup this was great, thanks for a fun watch you guys

 

[Hoss]

Everyone should be midcard at best

 

[Smart Marx]

It's crazy to watch this match now and realize the writing was on the wall for his heel turn

I was just typing that. The foreshadowing is all here.

2002 autostarted

and Stacey

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Damn it really was, wasn't it?

 

[JakeYourBooty]

lol Tazz and Spike were champions?

 

[Smart Marx]

Also crazy that Austin won three Rumbles and fans came unglued for that shit every time

Once in a lifetime superstar and the story kept demanding he win and so the fans wanted him to. Funny how the Rock isn't even the champ yet so technically Austin beat the Rock here first and then again at Mania.

The Disturbed theme, while short-lived, was fucking awesome

That and his Alliance theme are my favorites.

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

I remember watching this match probably about 7 years ago and having the same thoughts then, I was like "wow he was already acting kinda heelish"

 

[Hoss]

lol Tazz and Spike were champions?

Ah man. I woulda loved to get more out of that team.

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

2002's rumble is super underrated

 

[Smart Marx]

We beat WM III

Hell yeah!

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

Rikishi and Austin killed it in that match
