0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. Welcome to our Royal Rumble post show. It's John Pollock and waiting |
0:07.0 | lots to get into from tonight's show from the Alamo Dome. And we will be getting to |
0:12.1 | you as well for patrons that are out there. You will have the ability to call in afterwards. |
0:17.3 | But overall way, your impressions of this year's Royal Rumble. |
0:21.3 | The show overall, I thought was certainly a mixed bag. You know, we're strictly talking |
0:26.5 | about the centerpieces of these sort of shows. And that's the Rumble matches. I think |
0:30.6 | they got to their destinations perfectly fine. You know, for both matches, I think they |
0:35.0 | were highlighted by whether it was the final two or the final three whenever that took place. |

1:17.6 | The angle was phenomenal. The angle was, I think among among the best you have seen in |
1:22.6 | WWE in history. It's up there. It was a tremendous, tremendous angle. And coming out of it, |
1:31.0 | like you look at where this gets you to WrestleMania as well, because what you did tonight to |
1:38.5 | me was, yeah, among the biggest angles in company history, just in terms of effectiveness |
1:44.5 | and the satisfaction of seeing how much of buildup had been behind this and the reaction |
1:51.2 | to that chair shot. And then everything, the visual at the end, all of it was done so tremendously |
1:57.6 | well. You have J. Uso that really the J. Uso element is a two and a half year story itself |
