I have to say Torrie Wilson looked as hot as ever (she must be drinking the same Elixir of Youth that Jennifer Aniston & Kate Beckinsale drink from) & I'd like WWE to re-instate the old Bra & Panties match for Torrie,Kelly Kelly & Mandy Rose to compete in.
Can’t see wwe ever bringing back bra & panties matches. They don’t fit in with their current WWE “Women’s Revolution” agenda with their women
The idea was written with tongue-in-cheek (which was why I only mentioned Torrie, Kelly Kelly & Mandy Rose) as anyone could see it was a form of sex-ploitation when WWE used to have the pillow-case,bra/panty,mud-wrestling matches as it was an excuse to have Torrie,Candice Michelle,Sable etc dress as scantily clad as possible.
This was in the era when Vince McMahon & co hired women on looks only with no wrestling experience or ability.Heck who remembers when Trish Stratus was screened as Vince McMahon's secretary to perve over & Lita & Edge's 'live sex show' which they certainly didn't show on Raw's 25th Anniversary last week.

Ah right
I wondered if they might follow the Women's Royal Rumble with a Women's E Chamber match, and it seems they are doing so

It does highlight how clueless WWE are (particularly with Balor) when he was arguably the stand-out performer in the men's Rumble (& lasting for over 50 minutes) & then he jobs out a day later to 'free-agent' Cena for an Elimination Chamber spot.If Balor doesn't get a EC spot either way then he would probably be better off on Smackdown (with Gallows/Anderson) where he can feud with Nakamura & AJ.
Asuka vs Sasha was probably the best match on Raw last night.
What also baffles me is that they re-package Matt Hardy into the Woken/Broken gimmick but they continue to have him as a wrestler who loses more matches than he wins.
Agree with Doddle about looking forward to the women's EC match.
thought the rumble ppv was good but almas v gargano nxt match was the best one of the weekend.
rey mysterio is rumoured to be the new gm for 205 live and he looked great at the rumble. shame he is no longer doing lucha underground.
past female stars looked liked they could run through the new generation.
couple of the best bits were kofi Kingston being boosted into the ring after one foot landing on Xavier woods. the other when Naomi ended up on the barrier then using a chair to get to the steps.
Bit late to the discussion regarding the rumble,I've only watched bits of it so far.This moment in the triple threat for the universal championship stood out!
Ronda may have gatecrashed the women's royal rumble winner moment but people shouldn't get too annoyed. Its mania season, they had to introduce her at some point!
Ivory inducted into the HOF this year?!? IVORY!!! That useless twat of a 'wrestler'. Utter joke. Never over. Could barely put two moves together. A reasonable talker - in truth. But HOF career? Not even close. Guess they've run out of women that justifiably belong in.
