oh here's Shawn Michaels in Triple H

arriving for work hi guys I'm sure after

the severity of the lawsuit labeled at

Vince mcmah just a few short days ago

you two will be looking as professional

as professional can be and not just

pretending everything's fine within your

organization

everything about Triple H's little

awkward promo just before the main show

got a going was more Awkward than every

single one of us meeting someone new for

the first time but then he says if

you're going to come and you want to

rumble you better be ready for the Royal

Rumble and I was thinking well yeah Paul

if I am ready to come for the Royal

Rumble and I am ready for the Royal

Rumble I'm hardly going to turn up out

your show and expect the Brazilian

rendition of L Miserables am

I now I know that he has gone from WWE

now but he's done more than enough over

the past 40 years that we can blame

every other production mistake that's

ever going to happen in the future on

his ass and sleep well at night but look

at that Tron there thank you very much

for spoiling roxan Perez's surprise

appearance in the women's Royal Rumble

not Kevin

dun do Smackdown Pat Smackdown Pat two

Inn a row where you came back and one of

the first things he said upon sitting

down was oh there's a lot to talk about

and oh Pat oh Pat Pat Pat smack my ass

and call me Pat as well aren't you right

there and I should say at this moment

fair play to the jist who did ask the

questions about Vince mcmah at the PO

show press conference and two fingers up

to Triple H for not only dodging those

questions and focusing on the positives

what a load of old TSH but also for

claiming he's not even read the lawsuit

well they do say your nose grows when

you tell a lie and there's a reason

Triple H's hunka is that Bloody big but

forget about that we're all hyped it's

women's Rumble time let's go let's see

who's coming out first and it's

Natalia oh but it's as if it was meant

to be because of you take the words I

moan as I just have there about natala

being number one in the women's Royal

Rumble and turn them around make them

back to front you get Naomi I moan

reverse it Naomi meaning Naomi shock

appearance at number two in the women's

Royal Rumble was meant to be which is a

bit of a WTF moment don't you think but

when those Sirens started playing the

arena I was thinking to myself Titus

O'Neal's going to be in the women's

Rumble cuz it's clear that somebody just

called the police but no it was Jordan

Grace with her thick Mama pump intro to

her theme who was entering the women's

Rumble match and she doesn't even go

here what is she doing here that's what

we're all asking ourselves but it's

clear that one thing's been happening

hasn't it Paul and Scott Paul and Scott

sitting in the tree fantasy booking

wrestling I am sad Magle Magle mag Magle

Magle mag Magle Magle mag Magle Magle

direct quote from magel Cole this time

when he says we've never had two Royal

Rumble winners but we did go overtime

one year with Batista and John Cena now

the first half of that quote there I was

thinking to myself Michael must be

speaking about the women's Roy Rumble

Match we've never had two winners of

that event at the same event if that

makes any sense but then he said that

second bit about John and about Dave

therefore I'm here to say Michael Cole

1994's here to say hello like when

you've had a poo you flushed the chain

then somehow that one comes right back

up and floats like something's never

floated before 94 wasn't a good time but

then our Lord and savior Jesus Christ he

gave a massive old few when Kyrie sing

came very close to stealing his gimmick

because that right there and I can't

believe I'm going to say this but we'll

try it on for size anyway is only the

second most significant cross- hanging

spot of all

time mag mag mag mag mag mag mag mag mag

mag mag maybe we'll try and eliminate

Nia together said Michael Cole when

Piper Nevan was the one who was getting

eliminated by two to three ladies at the

same time now this wouldn't have been so

bad if it didn't become clear literally

2 seconds after magal Cole said that the

Magle Cole was sat there with his forat

his script for the rumble event last

night right in front of his glasses

because who came out as the next

entrance a matter of seconds after he

said that there it was only Nia Jax

unless of course Michael Cole is a

psychic and he's the one I should have

called when I did call a psychic to

predict this year's Rumble Mystic

Michael I'm begging her to be wearing

the antlers it's been weeks valholl is

wearing the antlers that means she's

going to win the whole thing now if you

were sat there last night thinking why

the hell does Michael Cole care so much

about Valerie holler's Anders I'm here

to tell you it all balls down to one

random entrance on row where he

struggled to say the word antlerless and

Wade Barrett laughed at him and it's

turned into this thing why he would be

mistaken for thinking that Michael Cole

has a massive antler fetish but what

made this entire thing even better was

the fact that Valerie holler only lasted

5 seconds in the match and because of

our truth we did didn't really see her

elimination all that clearly and by the

way we're not giving our truth a WTF

moment for what he did in the women's

Rumble match because we all know

anything is possible when it comes to

our truth to the fact he thought he

could enter the women's Royal Rumble

match for him that's completely normal

it is it's so normal so we have

honorable WTF moments for roxan Perez

for Tiffy Strat and for live Morgan

entering the Royal Rumble in a rather

surprising fashion and maybe won for no

AJ Le showing up or no Sasha Banks

making their WWE returns as the rumors

suggested those two ladies would in once

again a rather surprising fashion

however the PS resistance when it came

to the shocking appearances in the

women's Rumble match for me it was the

one with the lady who took almost as

long as via to come to the WWE but now a

storm is coming and it's spaffed all

over the women's Rumble of 2024 Jade

Carill take a up Nia went and out Nia

went and up the Jade Carill is what I

say because that was one hell of an in

ring debut for the WWE for her where

Jade Cargill she proved that she can

Jade Caro I want to die Magle Magle

Magle Magle Magle Magle Magle Magle

Magle Magle Magle so then we get to the

moment where Michael Cole claims the

people need to stop complaining about

Roman Reigns defending his title so

little he's got one thing to say to

everybody in the world with a working

brain when Michael Cole said beat him

that's his resolution but to that I

would say Michael Cole book him book him

more so he's not defend the title once

every 177,000 months but speaking of the

big dog sorry I had to do it for Old

Time sake he was the youngest in that

oooo match by three whole years but

what's the referee doing here everybody

either Randy Orton has a sick backslide

on La KN yeah or La KN has just got an

exhausted pinfall on Randy Orton either

way one of the men's shoulders is pained

to the mat and ballocks the Cory Graves

for saying because both men's shoulders

were on the mat at the same time we

can't counter three count we've seen it

before man made a great mistake Cory

professional wrestling as a concept and

a form of entertainment has been around

for over s years at this point and now

after tens of match matches in over

three countries around the world this is

the moment a referee discovers the power

of sight and awareness and the power of

sight I feel sick and disgusted and

that's exactly what those bastards

wanted and bollocks to Shawn Michaels he

can jiggle those hips and gate those ass

cheeks until the cows come home cuz

there's a brand new Mr WrestleMania and

that man is the weakened because the end

of his name is spelled a little bit

weird because last night it was

announced that he is once again doing

the theme tune writing the theme tune

singing the theme tune for Wrestlemania

for the fifth WrestleMania in a row

forget about Shawn Michaels the next

thing on our Horizon when it comes to

the weekend is the Undertaker bloody

streak and then we've got to make the

fact that Jimmy and Jay USA were numbers

one and two in the men's Rumble match

and these uncultured swines that claim

to us the professional wrestling is

scripted there was a massive golden

Tombola and anything could have happened

and that's the thing that happened there

and that is the beauty of professional

wrestling imagine thinking that was

scripted man but now it's time for this

to return wanky wank wanky wank wanky

wank wanky wank wank wank wanky wank

welcome back to wanky wank the show

where you a sexual wank F I used to call

you that a few years ago and now it's

back because of reasons why the hell not

you tell me a WTF moment I have missed

and I give you all the credit because

I'm a wholesome baby boy and a big thank

you goes to Blake White House who exed

me the digital exclusive clip where

Grayson Waller and Austin Theory pluck

their numbers from the big golden

Tombola and we clearly see that Grayson

Waller gets a six but the match itself

he enters number three so as the

hurricane used to say what's up with

that yeah oh now Andro B shoot shock

entrance in the men's Rubble match is a

WTF moment enough all by itself but what

makes it even more over the WTF moment

is the fact they gave his theme the repo

man's voice at the start of it Simon

Miller is getting a bit hot and sweaty

into the color so he is as we all know

back in day that would go repo repo Repo

Man and now Andra goes ill EO Jeremy

Clarks and the Repo Man voice were on

the same apparently I'm terrible

terrible terrible at impersonations but

I do guess in the way the WWE retrieved

their leas property from aew that

Andrade is kind of a repo repo Repo Man

and the best in the world so that last

night was KY Kingston's 16th Royal

Rumble appearance of all time meaning

he's only two behind Kane in the alltime

appearance record in Royal Rumble

matches which means we're all closer to

death than we'd all like to admit sorry

for saying that but it's true and then

we have the fact that while KY was in

that match we didn't even get an attempt

at a kiry Kingston Royal Rumble spot

we're asking the question what else

could he do I can't give you an answer

but still May those spots rest in

peace Brun Breakers ever so slightly

shocking appearance it's a massive shame

though that we didn't get big baly

bastard Baron Corbin to appear alongside

of him so the their actual tag

team name in NXT watch the show if you

don't believe me so the

couldn't run wild across that Royal

Rumble the are a brilliant tag

team SmackDown patack down P what in the

blue hell was that you P Maki is

basically a professional wrestler pop

McAfee beat Austin theory on the

grandest age of the allall point at the

lovely big Bell in the sky for this

year's WrestleMania and he also does Pat

maafi jump off of things that shame up

man might jump off of they're really

high all of this knowledge in our brains

yeah Pat mcafe enters the Royal Rumble

sees OS and Brun breaker and a couple of

big more boys couple of big more boys a

couple more big boys and he eliminates

himself from the match as if he's Drew

Cary or some virgin like Drew carry and

the WTF moment here has to be what a

waste of a spot I guess this is where

Brock Lesnar was going to be in the

match him facing Braun facing OS which

makes all the sense in the world but

then that stuff came out about Brock

which is utterly Grizzly so they had to

scramble and fight an appearance but why

pick Pat and they not have Pat wrestle

like we know Pat could I guess we are

putting over Braun and omas's big scary

bastards but use someone else than Pat

we know what Pat can do this made no

sense and was a waste of time mag mag

mag mag mag mag mag mag mag mag mag item

27 said Michael Cole like he was working

behind the counter at your local Argos

look at the monitor not the sheet

replied Cory graes to Michael Cole after

he said item 27 now you'd think after

his Nia Jax bollocks earlier in the

night that Michael Cole would have

learned his lesson never mind the fact

he's been commentating for like 27 years

at this point something like that but he

went and did it again the layout's there

the monitors there he's looking at the

wrong bloody

thing oh the spirit of Kevin Dum was

alive and well during this men's Rumble

Match wasn't it imagine cutting away

from its clubing time the first time

it's clubing time has actually been said

before a clobbering time in over 10

years in a WWE ring now as we all know

Kevin has set the bar so low mainly

because he walks towards said bar and

because his teeth are that big it chops

said bar in half and the bar ends up on

the floor but still the new production

team just because Kevin put the bar

there doesn't mean you have to keep the

bar there bring the bar up because your

teeth are

normal yeah and we have to reserve a WTF

moment for there being no Dwayne The

Rock Johnson because once again there

was teasers no Hulk Hogan because he

kept said in those adverts he had one

more Rumble in him then I guess Triple H

said you can be in there but you have to

be in there with Gunther and he said

that doesn't work for me

brother and then we have to make a WTF

moment out of CM Punk hitting a pedigree

on Cody rhods in a WWE ring and then

turning to the announce table and saying

hey can you believe I'm doing that poo

and I was thinking what a l altitude

Pepsi plung bean I can't believe you're

doing that and we're going to end the

video on a double Debbie Downer first

and foremost WWE you need new music

people because three quarters of those

themes we heard last night something

that should get you out your seat for a

Royal Rumble Match they were about as

recognizable as this remote here what

did it even do nobody knows to get new

music people to produce better themes

and the second one the crowd in the

arena last night you were quiet so

you're a WTF moment it's the Royal

Rumble man it's the start of

WrestleMania season it's one of the best

every single bloody yeah it no it

sometimes lets us down last night kind

of let us down there was no real Biga

was there some VAV Voom but still you

were quiet all night long what's wrong

with you I've been Ross by
