WWE Royal Rumble 2014 Review! | WrestleTalk Extra

That Usos promo before this Rumble match...FORESHADOWING???

Sandy Hook happened 13 months prior to the 2014 Rumble, December 2012...

2014 was 2 years after Sandy Hook, lads.

I was there that night the booooos rained down.

You're absolutely right about the revisionist history being rewritten about Cena. He absolutely failed getting over as a babyface. He was booed as early as 2005 against Christian.

He was booed solidly for a decade. The only difference between Luger and Cena is that despite both failing as both faces, Vince kept pushing Cena regardless.

It reminds me now of all the young Star Wars fans who grew up with the awful prequels, but claim they were good out of nostalgia.

I want Oli to randomly have camera changes from single to wide where he just smiles into the camera when it’s single while Luke is talking and Luke slowly gets annoyed now. That little segment was hilarious.

Hihihihihuiihhuuiuguyuuiyy
Uiiyyuuuyyyuuuyyuuyyyuyyy

Going through the worst stage of my life as a young lad. Love this longform, podcast style content and your perspectives of this year and I ended up watching the whole thing. Cheered me up, thanks guys.

😂 WWE relationship is good again?. I stopped watching WWE around the same time the shield broke off. 5 years later a new company showed up and thanks to that WWE product got "good" again according to the WWE fans but have not watched WWE since then.

My biggest regret from this time is that I was doing WWE at the time, and although I was about an hour away on the train, I had NO idea that Progress was going on. What I would give to go back in time and shout at myself TOMMY F'ING END is on that card get on a train you idiot.

Sandy Hook was in December 2012, over a year before this.

The WORST Royal Rumble event Ever!

The only 2 good things about this are Punk Quits the Company and Roman Reigns breaking the record. Wish he would’ve won the Rumble that infamous year.

Loved the review!!

Already listened on Patreon when it came out…but wanted to support!❤

This made me become a patron, well played guys, well played....

Oli admitting he once farted into a build a bear completely broke me. If that doesn't sell the Patreon nothing will.

John Oliver had this cool sidebar when he was filling in as host of The Daily Show where he showed a clip of the Real Americans on Raw with Michael Cole succinctly calling out the hypocrisy of an anti-immigration stance in American in a 5 second sound bite, and then it flashes back to him and he's absolutely joyous, going "What is this beautiful thing that can give more insightful political commentary in 5 seconds than cable news can do in hours while I get to watch two people employing the most interesting looking fighting style I've ever seen?!" Massive paraphrasing from a faulty memory I'm sure (I saw it one time 10 years ago), but I remember loving that.

this was so enjoyable, is there a retro-review package pls, I just want more of these

It's a bit disingenuous to compare viewership stats from a decade ago, US cable subscriptions have dropped between 35 and 40 percent since 2014, and if memory serves me correctly a good chunk of those lost subscribers are people that watch scripted content, so NBA games would have a much lower viewership drop off.

I do really appreciate getting a tease of what is available.. thank you

I started watching WWE around 2002 but i started watching consistently from 2006 to 2009/10 then my interest fizzled out until 2014/15 watched consistently but then lost interest in 2018/19 got back into it by 2020

how did oli not get wolf of wall street?

damn i wish this had Olis "hot" take on wrestlemania 30 being just alright

Rey Mysterio: Daniel Bryan at 30... That doesnt work for me Hermano....

Almost 4 hours and no timestamps 😢

Releasing this video has done it's job. Spending close to 4 hours with Oli and Luke reviewing old PPVs and talking points was great.

Next pay I'll be pledging

Correction Big E beat Ambrose by countout Hell In A Cell 2013

Call the channel WrestlePunk at this point 😂

Roman is the one who should turned on the Shield and been heel.

This video made me join the patreon. Incredible research, such a fun watch.

I'm always look forward to Wrestletalk videos!! Patreon for life here!

I thought i was watching wrestletalk back then, but it must of been SolomonsterSoundsOff and KevinCastle show

Thanks for the freebie ❤

Couldn’t agree more with Ollie on the F&F6 take. It’s the best one out of all of them and it made me geek so hard when I saw Jason at then end

Hey long time viewer from India.. I tried subscribing to your patreon but couldn't.. the payment isn't going through PayPal or Mastercard debit card.. what to do @wrestletalk ?

NXT got good the moment Bo Dallas was setting up to fight Big E for the title. That's when the crowd started being more impactful (really hating on Bo) and when we first starting thinking "The people who are champs here will be major players in the main roster". After that Wyatts/Sami/Others came in and the ball started rolling

7 episodes good lord!!!

Its so wild how far away 2014 was. I was in college. I haven't been in college in forever
