I would actually like if WWE got away from the "early guy lasts a real long time in the Rumble" for awhile. Kinda wish late draws were made a bigger deal. #30 winning as often as #1 seems silly to me in the kayfabe universe. Although I guess that universe doesn't exist anymore.

Inquistr is not reliable at all. It's click bait pure and simple. And like Coffey, I'm sick of #1 lasting until the end

I feel the RR JTS a long time ago. The back-to-back wins, the double eliminations, Vince winning the whole damn thing, number 1 having as many wins as number 30, etc. RR is fun- but every year I grow less excited as I can pretty much predict the final 4 and winner. I want the RR to be completely random and have someone like Xavier Woods or Kofi or Fandango win. The RR needs a reset.

It feels like a risk to have Bryan at 1. I know he says he feels healthy but it just seems like a bad move. It increases the chances that something can happen. Look at Punk, randomly stricken down by Kofi Kingston entering the ring last year. You want Bryan healthy through Mania at least at this point.

Well they used to be. The early ones like when Hogan won his two rumbles was in the 20s numbers, Flair at 3 was a bit yeah ok he wont last, but 1995 one was slightly embarrasing at the number 1 pick winning. Numbers 1 - 10 shouldnt really be having any chance of being in the last 5 men.

 

One of my local news sites that has nothing to do with wrestling has printed a article where Bryan wants Brock at Mania. This is the first ive herd of considering Reigns has been written to win the Rumble for months.

I remember marking out during the 40-man Royal Rumble when the final two was Del Rio & Santino. I genuinely thought Santino might have a shot! I'm such a mark.

Kevin Nash got a massive pop when he came out Diesel. Pretty much creative should have booked him to win the Rumble.

I just get the sense the company has no idea what to do tomorrow. I think we could get a 1994 type finish to the Rumble match. Others have mentioned this but I can't think of a time in recent memory where they don't have a clear plan for Mania in sight (other than Hunter and Sting)

I hope WWE has the guts to finish with Bryan and Reigns as the final two.

the thing that makes the Rumble so hard to read this year is the apparent face turn for Brock.

It's been a while. Overproduced, predictable, with the same cutesy spots every year. And the whole "Winner of the Rumble gets a shot at Mania" actually worked as a detriment after a while, since obviously there are very few guys that could get the spot anyway. The Rumble used to be my favourite PPV. In 98 it became predictable. In 99 it became stupid and cutesy. In 00 it became overproduced and way cutesy (with the dance routine in the middle of the match).

Brock didn't turn face. He just acted like Brock.

Ummm, yeah, sure man!

Brock as a face should be like Stan Hansen as a face anyway. He acts the same way no matter if he's a heel/face it's just who is he going to destroy this time around.

I still do because I have an abudance of free time & there's not a ton of activity here. However, yeah, there's always stuff like that which makes me roll my eyes or shake my head. You learn fairly quickly which places you disagree with the majority. Twitter being one of them. :-)

What's wrong with fans having an issue with Reigns on that level? They're probably paying customers which is a damn good thing, and are involved with the product. Not how I'd go about voicing anything, but I don't see what's problematic about it.

f4wonline (is that a credible thing?) is reporting that Justin Gabriel has quit WWE.

 

I always thought he was a guy they could have done more with, and if this is true, hopefully he can reinvent himself on the indies.

Well that explains all of the "South African wrestler" jokes I have seen on my twitter feed. Yeah when he and Tyson went down NXT I figure they would be fine in the company. But Tyson showed people that personality that few got to see while all we saw from Gabriel was that he was this "extreme sports" guy but never saw any of it. Solid wrestler but spotty at times. Still remember how he was one of the more recent people that made the 450 splash look like a powerful manuever during the Nexus days

 

Rock is in Philadelphia and will likely make an appearance at the Rumble tomorrow. Maybe they convinced him to work Mania

 

damn, shouldn't have opened that spoiler.

 

oh well

 

 

Rock vs Brock has been Vince's wet dream for years now. Hmmm

 

Looking at whats in tonights Rumble is it pretty obvious the Outlaws are jobbing tonight?

 

I havent found one fan who has any positive thought about the Assentions move to the main roster at all.

 

Will WWE swerve us tonight with making us think Reigns is winning and it ends up being Bryan or are they just wanting Brock to be a face so they can have Reigns boo out of the building when he chucks Bryan out.
