They discuss these topics: Royal Rumble preview, backstage stories about past Royal Rumble, Vince McMahon, TNA ratings, and much more with live calls throughout the show. This is a fascinating show with tons of insight into the inner-workings of WWE and how the Royal Rumble is put together and executed.<\/p>\n<p>Then, in the previously VIP-exclusive Aftershow, they continue their discussion including the Paul Heyman-Stephanie McMahon dynamic with backstage stories and predictions on Heyman&#8217;s future with WWE, how Brian Gewirtz got into power and behind the scenes stories on how he could hold court among dignitaries at meetings, and email questions including how meticulously the Rumble is booked in terms of elimination order, how pre-scripted are John Cena&#8217;s promos and who has helped him with them over the years, why are some wrestlers on Smackdown instead of Raw, and the best &#8220;saves&#8221; when things went wrong.<\/p>\n<p>SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Factor prepared meals designed by chefs and nutritionists.
