So, that's what we open with. The rest of the show will consist of matches we've seen two dozen times previously.
Bon Appétit

If this ends in Braun winning the Rumble, then I get it. If this is just a filler storyline for this show only, then it's lazy. Who the fuck wants Brock vs Kane? They probably think both Rumbles are the selling point, so who gives a shit about the rest of the show (they aren't wrong)?
As long as we don't have to suffer through Brock vs Roman again (not holding my breath on that one)

Braun just murdered a bunch of indy security guards. HOW THE FUCK IS BRAUN NOT WORLD CHAMPION?? Oh that's right, because the title only needs to be seen once every 6 months.
If this ends with Braun destroying the entire roster, then I'll be happy.

Dana needs to dress like Debra in 99 every week in order to make me care that she's out there. This is not one of those weeks.
On an unrelated note, it's mind boggling how awful Booker T is at commentary.

The Bellas, Jacqueline, Terri Runnels, Torrie Wilson (fuck yeah), Maria Kanellis, Michelle McCool & Kelly Kelly will be on the show next week. I'm sure a few of them will be in the Rumble. Which is a sentence I can't believe I'm saying in 2018.
I love how RD Evans from ROH has taken the Jimmy Jacobs role of backstage guy who gives directions.

So, they got the MLK win out of the way in the first hour.

Haha Braun destroyed catering & Curt Hawkins.
Dude randomly holding a chocolate cake acted like a statue when Braun looked at him. Braun took some cake & left.
Fuck what I said about this at the beginning of the show, this is fucking great!

Booooo, that Cole toss was fucking lame. I was yelling MURDER!! at my TV.
Chris Jericho was just mentioned in the list of names of people who are supposed to be on the show next Monday. Interesting.

And, if I might be so bold, that was a really weak spot they did with Cole ... ffs do something more interesting than throwing him safely into a half-dozen indie guys.

I am not convinced that Jason is acting like a dope so much as he is a dope. For entertainment's sake I hope I'm being worked.

I think the 10-bell for MLK is super tacky.

Have they always done that? I don't remember a 10 bell for him in previous years. I know Vince says that MLK was his hero, but still.
Also I don't like how commentary is treating Michael Cole being shaken up after being thrown, what, 5 feet onto a group of 12 guys? This is when those bigger stages would come in handy.
Braun should've given him an atomic wedgie.

When talking about Sonya Deville, we got this Booker T gem.
Booker: Not since Ken Shamrock has someone made such an impact from the MMA world.
Graves: Umm, we have this guy Brock Lesnar?
Booker: But I'm talking about an original.
WTF??

Booker: But I'm talking about an original. WTF?? For MLK day, I'll do Booker a solid .... I think he was trying to indicate that she's the first one since Shamrock to come from an entirely MMA background (e.g., no pro wrestling) into the WWE ... Lesnar, obviously, started in WWE, then went to MMA (or UFC .... whatever), and then came back. The other two were on a one-way ride from MMA to WWE. Now, I'm guessing that still doesn't work as we have Dan Severin and Steve Blackmon ... and apparently Tank Abbot is anathema. |

Was that ending in honor of The Cranberries, because I don't know why they let it linger.

They really shouldn't do the "good thing there's no instant replay here" deal when on Smackdown Gable & Benjamin won the tag titles, but had it overturned DUE TO INSTANT REPLAY!
Also that ending was weird as fuck. I was waiting for Gallows & Anderson to turn on Finn and leave me really bummed, but they all just stood there.
Maybe Finn is concussed, so The Demon will be in the Rumble & win it?

There were 18 camera cuts in 17 seconds from the time Kurt's phone rang to Braun tipping over a semi truck.

Braun is a gazillion times more interesting than Brock.
