WWF Royal Rumble (2002) Watch Along Discussion

[Smart Marx]

The ref looking everywhere for the brass knuckles

I love they sold the gimmick with the refs always looking.

I can’t remember if it’s this one or the RVD match, but Regal hid a pair in the turnbuckle pad.

 

[Smart Marx]

This feud has been good so far, I don't remember much of this match but I'm sure it couldn't have been anyworse than decent with these two

Regal was fire the first 4 or so months of 2002.

I remember this match and the RVD match being good.

 

[Smart Marx]

What are we doing with X8v

 

[Chris]

THis is really the definition of a "good" midcard feud. It's not super memorable but it did it's job great and both guys came out of it looking better

 

[Chris]

And it didn't have dumb fuckery

 

[Chris]

What are we doing with X8v (Thread reply)

What about it?

 

[Smart Marx]

The RVD match is more memorable for me, but I think this feud was more solid. Worked to both of their strengths.

 

[Smart Marx]

What about it?

We just watched it a month or so back so didn’t know if we planned to watch it again.

 

[Chris]

I wish Edge was a little more creative with his "attack the face" offense though lol

 

[Chris]

Oh yeah I think by the time we get to X8 on this we'll wanna rewatch it again. I also didn't watch it lol I just chatted that night

 

[Smart Marx]

I think that DDT might do the Brit some favors.

 

[Chris]

With all our extra knowledge of the build and what not, I think it might feel weird to skip it lol

 

[Smart Marx]

I love X8 more than most so I’m down.

 

[Smart Marx]

With all our extra knowledge of the build and what not, I think it might feel weird to skip it lol

Agreed.

 

[Smart Marx]

King surprisingly good on commentary tonight. Nice bug reference.
