When was thr last time the winner was actually a big surprise? When Cena returned at the 2008 rumble?
They are making nearly 4 million a week on the media deal alone and TK is worth well over a billion dollars. You take risks when you have that kind of money. Sometimes they pay off - like when they went to Wembley Stadium - sometimes it doesn’t.
We have 15 now.

Last year we did both the men's and women's Rumble. Doing something where folks put in money would be cool, just not sure how we do it.

Probably Cena.
I didn't understand why they announced Charlotte for the rumble, let her return be a big surprise. Especially since she's probably going to win.
So NXT announced they are going to run the Brady Music Center AEW ran a couple of weeks ago if anyone's interested in going.
Ah I was wanting to be a nice guy and let other people play if we had enough. I’m happy to stay in, though.
It looked amazing on tv, I thought.
It had Hammerstein vibes. The Cincinnati crowd wasn't as good as the Hammerstein shows were, but it looked and sounded good on TV. It's a shame that the upper deck can't see the ring on the floor though, so AEW never even put those seats up for sale.

Collision- 250,000
Raw on January 20th- 3,000,000- huge number but that's a 50% drop since in three weeks.

Fun little fact, the last episode of WCW Nitro was episode #286 and took place on March 26, 2001. Episode #286 of Dynamite will also take place on March 26.
Congrats to the newest WWE hall of famer

Wow!! He's gotten a lot smaller.
Since Triple H picks who goes in, I didn't think about him going in solo anytime soon. Smart to do it now though when they're in a boom period and it's like he can do no wrong at the moment. He was honestly my favorite wrestler for a long while. There was a promo he cut right after losing the title where he made it seem like he couldn't live without it, as if he was addicted to the championship and would do anything to reclaim it. You just don't see that kind of passion now. Even Drew, who we all love, has never shown that kind of passion about wanting to be champion again. The title just felt much more important in the early 2000's.
That’s b/c along with the golden age (hogan/warrior/savage/flair/etc) you had several of the all time greats going for the gold at that time (rock/austin/jericho/hhh/etc) so it felt more important b/c it certainly was to stand out among a stacked roster
Billy Gunn - 61
Bobby Lashley - 48
Chris Jericho - 54
Christian Cage - 51
Adam Copeland - 51
Dustin Rhodes - 55
Jeff Jarrett - 57
Shelton Benjamin - 49
A few are thriving and still look great but when did AEW become a retirement home for the unwanted? WCW vibes here.
Was listening to a wrestling stream this morning and someone fantasy booked next year's Rumble. On Raw, Cole brought up Sami being 0-11 against Drew. Whether we like it or not, the RR is in Saudi Arabia. Who do they love the most there? Sami. Make Drew champion in the fall, have Sami win the Rumble to an insane ovation and challenge Drew. Sami (0-11) vs Drew for the title, night one. Sami finally wins. Even if he holds it until SummerSlam, I love that idea.
