Yeah the promos are too long but they did that probably so they can have shorter duration for the matches especially both of the RR matches.

I KINDA get that...but then isn't that what the kickoff is for? I saw all these promo packages already. 

As for the men's rumble...it's not TERRIBLE. I'm about halfway through and I don't think it's bad or anything. the action is pretty good, lots of action and character beats, Omos is terrible but at least he's got personality to make up for it. A lot of the same issues that plagued the woman's rumble are present here, though. Still a lot of cutting away JUST as a move is about to happen. Like, when Boogs goes to toss Gable over, it's clearly building up to it, we know it's happening, I assume the producers in the truck know it, too...yet like, a second before it happens they cut to some random beatdown camera happening elsewhere in the rumble. cutting immediately back once the elimination concluded. 

At some point I think they're doing it on purpose. No way a professional would allow this shit to happen.
