So last year’s Rumble experiment with forty guys failed miserably and they went back to the standard 30. Unfortunately, that’s about the only really notable thing about this year’s Rumble.
Review #772 – Venture Kid (Switch)
Benjamin, it’s the Venture Kid. I hear he doesn’t like beets.
Royal Ramble 2011
Ten years ago, we had the “BIGGEST” Royal Rumble ever, as for the first (and only) time ever, forty men would be entering the Royal Rumble and… well, that sure was something, I guess.
There were some other matches… only a couple at most… slim pickings for this year.
Royal Ramble 2010
Fun fact: I actually bought the DVD release for this show. I don’t know why, but I’d imagine it might have something to do with wanting to have all the Royal Rumbles on DVD since I also had the Royal Rumble set from 2007 or 08, I believe. Never went beyond that, I’m afraid.
Anyway, on with the show, I suppose…
Sunday Gimmick Table #14 – Pocket Arcade Game (Brick Game)
It’s one of those brick game things, but in tiny Game Boy form that fits in your pocket… and it comes with a keychain.
Royal Ramble 2009
Well, it’s the 2009 edition of the Royal Rumble and… well, I barely remember a bloody thing about this one, so we might as well get it over with.
AEW Dynamite (Jan. 20th, 2021): Jon Moxley Hits Puberty
See that Shaq picture on top? That was my face after watching last Monday’s RAW.
Anyway, we go from that to a GOOD show… though honestly, I’ve got little to say about this show because I was just enjoying the ride. So we’ll do the five point thing we usually do with the other show when it was worth watching and stick with that.

Royal Ramble 2008
Jumping ahead to 2008 and… well… this show is a total blank to me.
So we’re reaching the point with these Rumble shows where I barely remember anything on them. It’s this weird nebulous period where it’s neither particularly good nor was it notably awful. Mind you, this was after a year with a rather serious incident taking place that threatened to curtail the entire wrestling industry, so naturally, you blank out on the stuff that came afterwards… but, um, yeah… let’s give this another look and see if there’s anything worth remembering.
RAW (January 18th, 2021) – Fuck You And Fuck Your Show
Every year, WWE likes to do a tribute video to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as part of the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day festivities. It’s usually a touching tribute and this year’s video is no exception. I bring up this point because following this wonderfully-crafted tribute to one of the most influential figures in human history, we would get one of the worst editions of Monday Night RAW ever conceived.

Royal Ramble 2000
Live from Madison Square Garden in New York City… which means that we’re not going to have a hugely elaborate set because MSG is unique enough in its set-up that trying to turn this into a typical WWF set would be pretty darn stupid.
Anyway, we’ve got a packed show of sorts. HHH defends the WWF Title against Cactus Jack in a no-holds-barred match, Hardys and Dudleyz are in a tables match, two Intercontinental Co-Champions will enter and only one Champ will emerge… and let’s toss Bob Holly in there for good measure… and then there’s… yeah, we’ll get to that.
