How Adam Would Book... Royal Rumble 2023 

I am genuinely impressed that Adam spent more time booking a Kofi/Ricochet/Escobar elimination escape spot than WWE probably spent booking last year's Rumble match

i love that almost a year ago everyone agreed "Cody Rhodes wins rumble and beats Reigns at Mania 39" and through sheer storytelling magic almost everyone has changed to "Cody can have next year, Sami Zayn win pls"

It's been 3 years since Adam Blampied joined Wrestle Talk & PFK, did the Board Games (No Rolls Barred) channel, and so much more. I'm happy for the guy and everything the PFK crew has done for us and enjoy Pro-Wrestling, even accepting the good, the bad & the ugly side of the business/sports entertainment.

I can’t wait for *in the words of Adam Blampied* “ADRENALINE IN MY SOUL, CODY’S WINNING THE RUMBLE - oh wait that didn’t work”

7:41 Adam should really get action figures and a toy ring to explain intricate spots

This look for Adam is surprisingly nostalgic... Thank you for all the content you've made, Adam.

The main reason I enjoy Adam's booking so much is because he always finds the best way to showcase as many wrestlers and their characters as possible.

Adam- “All generations of The Bloodline celebrate the Tribal Chief” well that aged faster than Rey Mysterio’s WWE title reign

Why is no one talking about the best line of the video? Seth Rollins saying "ask The Man, I can go all night long."

IT'S THE MOST RUMBLE-FUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

How about "How Adam would book the streak" who would Adam have from Takers first Mania to retirement?... Think that would be an epic video going through each year at Mania crafting the perfect list of opponents

The hair... Just the memories man :')

JR: “Oh my King!” King: “It’s him aaah!” JR: “Baw gawd it’s the return of the black haired plumpy!”

Imagine a Rumble going this deep before a 1st elimination, that would be new

never had I realized I wanted something so much and not known until Adam made the suggestion of Nakamura and Tajiri squaring off... I NEED TO SEE THAT!!!!!! Will WWE just consult Adam for occasional booking pitches already, the man is freaking UNREAL at this!

A small terrible part was hoping that during Logan and Jake’s beatdown on Cena, the next person to come out was Cena’s son, Fred Figglehorn

I love your booking videos, particularly Rumbles. However, it would be great if Rumble videos would have some sort of tracker at the bottom, like the faces of the wrestlers that have entered the Rumble with them being greyed out when they are eliminated. It would be a very helpful visual aid, particularly for people who have to pause the video due to something coming up and resume it later on.

And it's even more unfortunate that this will be the first year without a "How Adam Would Book: The Royal Rumble 2024"

I love that Adam’s prediction did indeed age immediately as his booking began with the bloodline acknowledgment ceremony that did not happen. Still a fantastic fantasy Rumble and I nearly died laughing at the Finn riding Priest to the ring portion. Serves me right for listening to this in the car.

I don't think I've ever been hurt more than when Adam reminded us that Edge and Cena's rivalry was seventeen years ago. I feel on death's door now.

The most anticipating episode of this series is finally here.

Sami deserves the world. Give him a real prize for the way he's carried the company over the past 6+ months

I think this is the first time… in a long time might I add, that I’m torn if I like WWE’s booking or Adam’s booking more 😂

I’m more intrigued by this year’s Rumble than I have been in a while and this video just hyped me up even more.

This would be the best rumble if it went this way! Hell of a job, Adam!

The best time of the year - made EVEN BETTER by all these wrestling talkshow and channels. YOU'RE ALL AWESOME!

Adam's hair brings back a lot of nostalgia.

adam's redemption arc on WT and PFK has been my favourite part of the last 3 years

Dude. How the F are you not the head writer and booker for the WWE and AEW? I know that you are not the one THEY want, but you are the one WE NEED!

Whilst I think Sami winning is a great choice, and makes alot of sense storyline wise, I think El Generico coming back to life and winning the Royal Rumble could be really exciting

In a rare twist, this would _not_ have been better than the rumble card we got

Gunther entering at number NEIN popped me more than it should.

Cody won and while cool, it’s kinda meh cuz we all knew he was already in the match so there was no point of him being the 30th entrant

Nicely-done. Almost every entrant gets a memorable moment, key eliminations set up further matches, it tells two separate stories that get resolved in a head-on collision at the end, and the fan favorite gets the win. Color me impressed!

Seeing Adam trying to act out that Kofi spot was comedy gold

I will be at the Rumble! 4hr road trip, here I come!

There is just one thing that i would love to see in this version of the rumble. Its Rock and Austin standing in the ring mirroring the 2001 rumble. Apart from that, fantastic booking, as usual

ITS FINALLY HERE!!!!!

Driving to the rumble and listening to this had been pure joy!

This is the best booking video I’ve seen you make in a while. Laughed several times and had a few surprises!!!

I need to see this idea you created for Kofi, Santos, and Ricochet at the actual Royal Rumble, that is a genius idea

Love you Adam. Thanks for always giving us such entertaining videos to watch.

i’ve been checking the page every day waiting for this

"Tajiri still has it as he showed in the cruiserweight classic"....7 years ago...times flies

It amazes me just how well you can book storylines. Banger after banger after banger 🔥

Never clicked faster on a notification

Adam: “Muta hits with his own green mist because he invented it.” The Great Kabuki: “And I took that personally.”

Oh, I got to tell you, it was perfect. Perfect. Everything, down to the last minute details

Videos like this releasing hype me up just as much for royal rumble season vs the actual buildup the show gives

I'm here from the post rumble to tell ya- You did it better. Your rumble actually tells a story. Real Rumble felt like it was just- building for Cody to come in and win.

that song and dance you did for Tajiri was impeccable

Been looking forward to this vid all week and of course it dind disappoint best wrestling Mind on RU-vid.

I really hope WWE realizes the Daniel Bryan-esque situation they're in and book Sami winning the rumble. Amazing booking as always

BRILLIANT! Gosh how I wish this would happen. No matter what Sami needs to pull the trigger on the Bloodline before they get him.

"Entering at number NEIN!!" 🤣🤣 You ruddy genius!

I really enjoy your booking. Also ACE, your performance of telling the story. Love it love it love it. ❤ cheers. This is brilliant

Problem is if you watch this before the rumble you’re always going to be disappointed at the real thing as it’s never as good Edit: accidentally skipped ahead and saw Blampied in the birthing position. I take it back.

All joking aside, it's great to see Plumpy with his natural locks again.

That spot with Dom, Gunter, and Braun would be amazing. Great booking as always.

I get more excited for this than I actually do for the rumble

Although I loved how the Bloodline story played out IRL at the rumble, I agree that with Adam that Sami should've eliminated Cody to win. This year's RR wasn't BAD, it was just slightly bland. There weren't many separate little stories going on, or memorable spots really (aside from Ricochet and LP), and the winner was predictable - which, could still work, but overall I felt it was a little underwhelming. Better than last year's though.

Amazing video. I'm super hyped! Hopefully it is anywhere near this good! Great time to be a wrestling fan

I’ve been rewatching all the other rumble content just waiting for this to come out.

I truly think Cody has to win the Rumble. This is a much longer story than Sami and Sami's story is unbelievable. But Cody is the guy who was overlooked for Roman. Roman was always Vince's guy. Cody thought he should be Vince's guy but he was never good enough. Now he goes out to prove his worth start a competitor to Vince and then he comes back to win the one thing that alluded him. And to truly be the guy, he has to beat the guy who was picked over him and end the historic reign of Roman.

Adam’s was better.

That introduction for finn balor (im not even gonna bother typing it tbh) was the best sentence ever formed in the english language.

I've always loved your videos about the royal rumble! Love the hair too!

What I want to happen is the last 2 is Zayn and Cody. Roman comes out and yells at Sami to eliminate Cody. Zayn and Cody look at each other and eliminate themselves at the same time forcing Roman to defend a title on each night at WrestleMania

Fastest I've ever clicked

thank you Adam, these are so enjoyable to watch and always bring a smile to my face. thank you

Loved this booking! Super creative and ties things together well with some great fun. Sooooo hyped for the rumble!

Sami Zayn should NOT win the rumble. He doesn’t have the look to be a main event level star and definitely not during wrestlemania season when you need to draw as many viewers as possible.

Adam would be great booking for ECW cause he loves to OVerbook things. I think we can all agree that Adam did it worse.

I needed something good going to work today, and I am so happy that Adam’s Royal Rumble was here. Thank you Adam and PFK!

Finally!!!! Been waiting for this since Christmas

WWE did it better

Horrible booking. Why would Sami Zayn just turn on Roman in the middle of the Rumble? If he would have won the Rumble it would have been better to have Roman turn on him at EC in Montreal for nuclear heat.

I wasn't against the booking of the actual match. But man the ending to Adam's booking made the hair on my arms stand up in anticipation. That would have been such good story telling

As a person at the Rumble, the Men's match was so good, that it kinda burnt out the crowd for the rest of the night.

Great video, sounds like a fun rumble

brilliant as always ...would love a big e return as well!

You had me sold at the Great Muta. Already I want to see this version of the Royal Rumble.

gaddamnit i miss you plumpy

When Adam said, "that was 17 years ago" I felt that!

So... Adam´s booking was better than the actual rumble

I was not expecting a reference to Ross Ulbricht in this video. Adam, you are full of surprises.

I look forward to those videos every year 😂

That final 2 would make that building NUCLEAR. People would lose voices and hearing from that Adam. Well done.

You booked the Hell outta this Rumble!!!! I want to see this 💪🏽

I have been refreshing Parts Funknown for the last week for this video

The camera shot of Sami kicking Roman would be GODLY

Beautiful!! My jaw dropped with the Helluva Kick spot. Popped me. Well done Adam!!

I love the booking the only thing I disagree with is your Mania planning, story wise it makes a lot more sense for Night 1 to be Roman/Rock, Roman wins marking the highest point of his reign as both champion and undisputed head of the table, then on Night 2 it comes crashing down against Sami who wins the unified belts from him

To channel Simon, I give this a Golden Up. ☝️

Lmao got me everyone looking at me as I burst into laughter NEIN! 9:00

Adam goes back to his natural hair colour. Adam heel turn confirmed

“it’s like 2006 all over again… that was 17 years ago.🙁” gosh adam is the goat

I have never so clearly envisioned a spot in my head more so than "OOOOOOOOAAAAAHHH-" *WHAM*

I've been waiting for this series for a month 😭😭😭😭😭

That’s an INSANE rumble!!
