| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Royal Rumble Vibes podcast. Yeah. Well, it's just sort of our instant reactions to the Royal Rumble, me and Hamfleur. But before we get into it, for a fan of this sort of thing, make sure you subscribe to What Cool Tressing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, Music and YouTube. Where we do daily wrestling podcast. We're not only review the Royal Rumble, but also Rawl Smackdown, the show formerly known as NXT 2B8. Oh, WW99-paper-views, premium live events. We have interviews round-table discussions and a roundup of the week complete with a lot of the good quiz, of course, on wrestle, which, as said, they're joined by Michael Hambler. Not necessarily to review the Royal Rumble, Well, we're saving that for Monday when Michael Sidgwick will be joining us. Live on YouTube. Indeed. But just sort of give our instant reaction, because it feels like yet again, this is one of the most divisive Rumble PLEs ever, and we're on one side of this, possibly influenced by the fact we just finished doing a live stream |
| 0:55.0 | with the wonderful Phil Chambers and Andy Murray. |
| 0:58.1 | And I don't know if we were having too much of a good time, basically. |
| 1:03.2 | I feel like I want to slink back into my seat like I do when we talk about the MFTs. |
| 1:07.6 | When you mention vibes, |
| 1:09.1 | I feel like the vibes are too good for us to offer full critical |
| 1:13.6 | analysis, which may upset those that didn't enjoy the show. |
| 1:16.7 | And as a full disclaimer, the fact that this started at 7 o'clock was finished sort of by |
| 1:24.0 | around 11. |
| 1:24.8 | And we had some other bits of content to produce. But we're sort of doing this well before 1am, which would, if you recall, typically with the same stream would start. Yes. That, this is where we are lymie Brits. We're, like, we're complaining about the time difference and stuff. This is where we are right in the splash zone of positivity, if you will. |
| 1:48.2 | Because, don't give me that look. |
| 1:50.4 | Because we couldn't be sort of more awake, prime time. |
| 1:55.4 | This was prime time viewing here in the UK. |
| 1:58.2 | So we're, you know, far more social time to be able to still talk about this and break this |
| 2:03.3 | down without, like, you know, daybreak happening outside the studio windows, as would |
| 2:08.0 | often be the case. |
| 2:09.2 | And why my eyes bleeding? |
| 2:10.7 | Like, that kind of stuff, you know. |
| 2:12.9 | Don't know why you're chirping up, birds. |
| 2:16.4 | When we would be leaving as the morning people were coming in, that kind of thing. |
| 2:21.2 | I just... |
| 2:26.0 | Vibes check. |
