Breaker is a fucking freak. At this point, why exactly is he not full time on the main roster??? He has the look, the heritage and my God he hits everything with such aggression and force. If he isn't holding one of the World Titles within 2 years, they need to fire the writers.

I was going to be a surprise entrant but plans were changed last minute.

Hogan was pulling Sid out, after Sid eliminated him, not the other way around. I remember because it's one of the earliest cases of WWE changing background audio to hide the fans booing Hogan.

Lawlers comedic timing was much better. He got into the ring, got thrown out, sat back down, put his headphones on in one fluid motion.

It probably wasn't intentional, but Punk and Cody being the last two in the Rumble was a huge F U to Tony for squandering opportunities with these two.

You can tell bron breakker is a Steiner, he was kicking some ass lol

"Everybody was walkin down like they're going to get the mail " 😂😂😂😂😂

Punk finished the match with a torn tricep also whilst injured did throw a few right forearm punches, hit a GTS, hit a pedigree and triple german suplexes. What a Legend!

The hot tag bit was a highlight of the Rumble for me haha.

One of the reasons why no one reacted to most of the entrances was that after WWE got rid of Jim Johnston all of the music sounds generic as hell. No gongs, no glass breaking, no “IF YOU SMELL!”, just bleh.

Still can't believe they gave Jordynne Grace a good showing in the womens' Rumble and acknowledged her feud with Naomi. You really can tell Trips is in charge.

The thing about the 80s--at least when I watched back then: Almost all of the TV shows were 85% "real wrestler" vs jobber. When Iron Mike Sharpe takes on Johnny Russell, Iron Mike looks like a badass. So when we FINALLY saw a bunch of established guys actually wrestle each other, we'd go crazy.

This Rumble desperately needed AJ, Randy, and Knight.

The ending was great but so sad knowing Punk was injured during the match and will miss Wrestlemania. That’s a real kick in the teeth

I think the issue with the Rumble matches was that everyone was waiting for surprises that never came.

Kane eliminated Booker T in 2007 and then Booker T came back in the ring and eliminated Kane shortly after.

CM Punk’s last match, Rumble 2014, he was eliminated by Corporate Kane, who Punk eliminated early. Punk started at number one and lasted until the last 4.

"I dont know if i want the villian in a movie to be overly concerned about things" Thats why i love Jim.

I don't agree with Jim's take on R-Truth, he's suuuuper over with me.

JIM : "AOP what does that stand for....Age of Prosthetics" 🤣🤣🤣

A big problem with both men and womens rumble was that alot of them had theme songs that either sounded the same as someone elses or unrecognizable, so no one knew who they were til they came out

Bron Breakker was amazing. But the WWE didn't gave him the attention that spot deserved,there was no youtube clip of his on the YT channel. He should have been focused way more.

Couldve sworn it was Hogan who had been already eliminated when he pulled Sid out.

When Jim was talking about Breaker being possibly presented as a cyborg, I immediately thought, A Genetic Freak.

For the most part, illegal eliminations have happened in the Rumble. The Vader spot Jim mentioned is probably the only example where it wasn't allowed.

Bron Breaker is bringing the spear back to looking lethal

Punk getting injured and missing WM is such a downer. I hope he comes back stronger so we get The Summer of Punk and Road to Wrestlemania we should have gotten back in 2012.

I really wish they'd get rid of the thing where a guy who's already eliminated is able to pull someone over the top rope and eliminate them. Always been my main pet peeve of the Rumble. Once a guy's out, he shouldn't be able to eliminate anyone else.

Jimmy Uso has the best crazy eyes of anyone in that family

Jim is right about Kross and Lashley. Vader got eliminated, then threw multiple people out but it didn’t count. Lashley should’ve been dumped from a distraction if they were gonna go for that angle.

Jim literally described Lawler’s exit in 1997. He jumped over while Bret had Austin in the sharpshooter,Bret got up and punched him right back over in like 3secs

Bron Breaker Rocky IV training montage dope

AOP - Age Of Prosthetics. Jim, your killing me!😅😂😅

Bron had energy in that ring! He was moving. So good.🎉

I laughed picturing Cody coming out and everyone getting excited. Then Brunson Reed comes out and everyone adjust their pillows and quietly return to their naps.

Bron Breakker looked really good in the Rumble. He was just running over everybody. I hope they finally call him up now and don't send him back to NXT. He's ready.

The rumble wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. The usos did not deliver as #1 and 2. The match didn’t get hot until Cody came in at #15. Wwe shot themselves in the foot not including Orton, styles, and Knight in the rumble. Hell, Jinder Mahal had a title match 2 weeks ago and wasn’t even in it to build on that heat.

Imagine if they gave Bron the goldberg push. A monster killing streak, crazy squash matches and build him up and up for a year. Would be money

Vince should've been the suprise #30 entrant in the women's rumble

16:25 That's the spot Lawler did in the 1997 Royal Rumble with Bret Hart.

"Pat Patterson may have got a tickle outta that" - one heck of a compliment

That’s hilarious! The wife and I fell asleep right at Karrion Kross coming out!!

The Bron Breaker stat of hitting the ropes at 23mph is complete bullshit. That is the same speed Usain Bolt averaged in his 100m world record run and we are expected to believe Bron achieved that in a few steps.

Jim actually thinks CM Punk is aging in reverse? I thought Punk looked older

It's become a thing for me now that every time a wrestler comes out, I identify then by Jim's respective nickname. "Oh there's Andraed OLIOLIOH", "it's Jane Cargill!", "here comes Shaky Nakamura".

You had the Hogan and Sid thing backwards lol

Personally, I think for at least this year, they leaned on “winner gets to main event WM” because that’s what Punks goal was in specific. He wanted that more than a title, but would have taken a shot at B to get his A

Punk saying that to Cody was almost akin to when Cena went to mock The Rock with an attempted People’s Elbow before that cost him in their first match. Not so much foreshadowing a heel turn, but more an overzealous misstep by a face against a bigger face. Alas, anything they may have been foreshadowing with that has been derailed with Punk’s tricep injury.

In 92, Sid dumped Hogan out, then Hogan pulled Sid out from the outside. Also, in 96, hbk eliminated both Yoko and Vader, then Vader came back in and threw everyone over the top except owen, who he threw through the ropes, then Monsoon came out to sort Vader out then everyone came back in.

WHERE was Trick Williams?!?! Melo was cool and Breakker was only there to fill someone else’s spot 🙃. A bunch of mid at best guys but Trick, who I guarantee would’ve been in the top 5 pops of the night, couldn’t get in? Did y’all see his segment on SD the night before?

Don’t let this years Royal Rumble distract you from the fact that to this day 9 years running… Curtis Axel has not been eliminated

Hogan pulled out Sid, Undertaker threw out Maven, Brock Lesnar costed Goldberg, Shawn Michaels also costed someone the Rumble as well.. the refs are only out there to confirm eliminations (that both feet touched the floor)

9:16 It's good that Jim sees a future in Carmelo Hayes.

Surprised they didn’t catch Punk’s injury. I saw it at the time as it was happening and was worried he was hurt and lo and behold he was.

As someone who lives in Hawaii, I was not expecting Brain Last to use the word haole.

Jim's take here explains why Smoky Mountain went out of business, and 1996 WWF was the lowest-drawing year ever...

I think Mcafee got thrown in because of Lesnars absence

Bad news pulled out piper in 1990

The nxt people were called “Dustys Kids” Punk pulled off a Double Entendre lowkey taking a shot at Seth lol

"Haoli's like you"😂😂

Wasn’t it Hogan pulling out Sid?

I was talking about this with my buddies about an hour after the rumble ended, I think the Pat’s spot was a last minute edition when Brock got pulled from it. That’s why it seems like nothing happened.

Pulling guys out of the rumble from the floor goes back to the 1990 rumble match when Bad News Brown pulled Roddy Piper out by his hair from the floor after being eliminated.

Trick Williams comes out on Friday to the best crowd reaction of the week. Jinder mahal recently in a world title match HHH: I need my guy pat in the rumble

This mens royal rumble has a huge hole in the middle before cody arrived that really dragged the wholenmatch down

The crowd wasn’t into it at the Royal Rumble

RTruth had the greatest hot tag in Royal Rumble match history!!!

I much rather watch a person walk to the ring, trying to have the spot light on them, before they go on their lil shine escapade upon entering the ring rather than them run, shine, then people lay around or playing slap ass in the corner for 20-30 seconds before the next competitor.

The level of excitement was much higher for this. But the aftermath of Punk getting injured now has everything in flux. It’s pretty poetic to that this is his first match on a WWE PPV in 10 years since the 2014 Royal Rumble and he gets hurt.

I love Ricochet, but him being in that final 4 over Gunther is unreal

Point of order, Hogan was pulling Sid out. Not the other way around.

I'm surprised Jim and Brian didn't talk about how incredibly gassed Punk was. I like Punk, but that was embarassing.

I feel kinda bad now but I said to my brother as Punk was running down "watch he gets hurt tonight"

It's here. BRON BREAKKER The next Paul Heyman guy

PLEASE do some more review of Vince MaMahon’s case! You guys are THE BEST ever at that!

r truth was effing gold. laughed so hard at his first spot

Cornette is so blinded by his punk tinted glasses that he can't see how boring that final exchange was.

Punk timeline fits Money in the Bank perfectly and with how much of a disaster the MITB winners have been the past two years give him that and he can re legitimatize that and become the only 3 time winner of the match

Brian, thank you for that “uch” after JC sang “like Mussolini”. Your Yiddish idioms make me smile in an ugly world. Thank you for them all, please keep them coming for all us old fans. 💪💥🔥

3:50 It's "90 seconds" but if you time it, they have a set list of spots before the countdown and can often end up being 2 minutes anyway (not clue why they don't do spots with people coming to the ring)

R- Truth is gold

I agree so much with Corny on the men’s Rumble… just a snorefest for most of it.

I was disappointed with this rumble, because l got badly carried away and convinced myself we were getting JOHN CENA, THE ROCK, STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN, BROCK LESNAR, BIG E, SHEAMUS, REY and BRAUN STROWMAN ha ha! That was probably way too optimistic, and obviously Lesnar is now GONE, but there were still way too many Raw lower mid carders who did nothing but make up the numbers, when they could have put out an all star cast that could have threaded together the rumble all the way through. That said it was a good ending, with an incredible effort by C M Punk to see the match through, l had no idea he was badly injured.

I miss the "Andrande oli oli o". 😂

20:57 „LIKEEEEE MUSSOLIIIIIIINIIII“ button

Hope Cody can finally finish his story. And it sucks for Punk. He can't catch a break. His much WM main event match still eludes him. His promo on Raw this week touching his cancer surviving friend and his failed stint at UFC was a brilliant touch. And Drew attacking him was icing on the cake.

After the match Punk tore his triceps again

Lawler being on commentary and getting a spot in the Royal Rumble in the past was great because he was on commentary and acted like he had it planned and was coming in at a good spot when some of the guys were down or tired and he was being cocky about it and when he came in, he got dumped back out. I thought that worked well. The spot with Pat McAfee was stupid. They should've just had him be #30, then he could've made a big deal about his chances winning it and been all excited and then he could've gone in and then got eliminated super quick. The comedy spot with R Truth throwing JD in after Bron attacked him and getting eliminated quick was funny though

They should make the Royal Rumble a 2 night event like Wrestlemania. Two rumble matches in one night is too much.

Why was Priest in the Rumble? He has the briefcase, can cash in anytime he wants, he doesn't need the WrestleMania spot.

The women cooked the men’s RR Dom is a future world champion I mean talk about “aura” Breakker’s speed power & explosiveness is kinda crazy. He was running laps around everyone in the ring

I like Gunther laying everyone out. A heel that doesn't just side with heels is the best heel.

The crowd might have been burned out by the time the mens rumble came on

The 3 biggest pops went to people Tony had on his roster. Meanwhile AEW did lower numbers than the midget wrestling. You can't make that up😂😂😂😂😂

Completely agree with Jim about the walking to the ring and lingering during entrance music

16:28 yes Jerry Lawler did almost this exactly at the rumble, wasn't 1 uppercut sadly, Bret hit him a couple of times and then uppercut him and he fly out of the ring, Pat should have done that as well, would had been a lot funnier and a great tribute to the King.

Bron Brekker was amazing

Survivor Series 2024 WWE vs TNA

Bron Breaker looked Amazing. Never seen in in action before the rumble but his Speed is ridiculous

Even listening to this on the way to work, I laughed at the R Truth moment. 😂
