Phillips is the best right now play by play. Cole is so terrible right now, you can tell he reads right from the script. Which is a shame bc I loved listening to him in Smackdown when I was younger and he did such an awesome job on the UK tournament last year.

Bout to watch the 03 Rumble, Lesnar wins this one. Dude was KOTR, headlined Summerslam, won the WWE title by beating the Rock, beat Taker clean in Hell of a Cell, won the Rumble, then headlined Wrestlemania and won the title. All in a year. Greatest first year in WWE history?

Also I forgot how absolutely jacked Kane was in his younger days. He went like 50 something minutes in the Rumble and was significantly active in it.

Kane was awesome in his prime. As a kid, Kane and Y2J were always my favorites.

I really like the rumble He Who Must Not Be named won. I believe that was 2004. Also I think the 2007 one was really fun with the last two being HBK vs Taker. It’s been a while since I truly enjoyed a rumble match. I hope this one will be good.

2007 was a great, great Rumble. 2008 was excellent too. 2003 started with Michaels and heel Jericho I am super excited.

2003 Jericho has the worst facial hair ever lol.

Oh this reminds me, the 98 RR i watched last night was the one where Michaels hurt his back in the Casket Match with Taker. I can't believe all he was doing after he got hurt.

I think he had two herniated discs and also two completely crushed discs. I think Michaels said that he was so doped up on pain pills he remembers nothing from WM match with Austin

Whoa Mysterio came out to some non 619 music that was weird.

Sounds about right. Isn't HBK your all time favorite?

During the 01 Rumble, they barely talked about Kane eliminating 11 men and setting a record. Thought that was interesting

Which Rumble was it where Maven(1st Tough Enough winner) unlimited Taker and Taker proceeded to murder him?

That may be one of my favorite Rumble moments ever.

Also yes 2008 was crazy. It was before Cena got super stale and no one even thought it was possible he’d be back so early from his injury. Truly shocking.

Trips was discussing JR and Lawler the other day. He discussed how they brought an energy and excitement that was just as important as the actual match. Those times are regrettably long gone. Heenan could do it too. Lawler and Heenan had an ability to make you hate the heel even more.

The face/heel commentor isnt something I need, I just wish the play by play was better. It is terrible how Cole just reads from the script and his awful "OH!" when a move happens while Graves or Booker talks

Wow they showed Punk and Vince’s limo blowing up in RAW’s opening package

Punk interrupting this would be the greatest segment ever

Punk's pipebomb was approved by Vince before he did it.

I've always wondered where the Vince limo thing was going, they just totally scrapped it when the Benoit stuff happened.
