[VSG]

Now someone sticky this thread so we can get started :kiss:

[Tazz Dan]

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO MAKE THIS

[el bobbo]

"The Heck"

Cursing like good old Road Doggy Dogg.

[Tazz Dan]

Also, stuck for your posting pleasure :kiss:

[el bobbo]

Does anyone have a list of confirmed entrants?

[VSG]

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO MAKE THIS

I LOVE YOU TOO :kiss:

I got a bunch of fries and wings all seasoned and ready to be put in the oven when the kickoff show begins. Can't wait for Wyatt/Bryan to be honest- that match makes or breaks Bryan's Road to Wrestlemania.

Also, Goldust has been teasing something on the kickoff show tonight so I will have a link to it in the first post. Hopefully it isn't as dumb or obvious as a heel turn because the tag team division has been actually invigorating recently. On the other hand, having a corporate tag team as champs to go along with a corporate WWE World champ would be something for a good follow up.

[VSG]

Does anyone have a list of confirmed entrants?

Batista
CM Punk (Director of Operations Kane declared Punk will enter the match at No. 1)
Alberto Del Rio
Big E Langston
The Miz
R-Truth
Xavier Woods
Kofi Kingston
Cody Rhodes
Goldust
Rey Mysterio
Fandango
Roman Reigns
Seth Rollins
Dean Ambrose
Erick Rowan
Luke Harper
Damien Sandow
Jimmy Uso
Jey Uso

I was sure I read another list that had 25 confirmed participants but this list has been going around the last day and today.

[Tazz Dan]

I just hit my supermarket for supplies for the event because my PPV provider had it starting at 10am here. Turns out it doesn't start until 12pm and I could have slept in :mad:

Seriously, too early a start for a Monday.

[Tazz Dan]

"The Heck"

Cursing like good old Road Doggy Dogg.

Oh, you didn't know?

[VSG]

At least you got it live! I need to ask WWE what happens if I get the network in Feb but I am in India during Wrestlemania. I don't want to wait 1-2 weeks to watch it on TV with ads.

[Tazz Dan]

I wish I could get the network from launch, we have to wait till late this year/next year here.

[el bobbo]

Oh, you didn't know?

Your BLEEP betta call somebodaaayyyy!!!!

[el bobbo]

I LOVE YOU TOO :kiss:

I made a shit ton of wings and some porksteaks. I also have a case of beer. This should be almost as good as 2012, when I actually went to the thing at Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

There wasn't one because theres one in Causal too.

[VSG]

That one has been around for 3-4 years now lol. Feel free to stick in Casual, we won't really mind.

[VSG]

Ohhh shit:

This wasn't a serious post, right?

[VSG]

That cancer has really messed you up if you have to ask that!

[FourFifty]

Does someone wanna come over to my house and do some dishes? I kinda told my wife I'd do some tonight, but I've been playing a drinking a game to pass the time until the Rumble starts. It's called "Drink until Adventure Time makes sense." I'm losing, and am in no shape to do dishes.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Always love the Rumble.</font

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>If Batista wins, we <s>riot</s> tune into Raw the next night anyway.</font> :(

[el bobbo]

These British commercials always fuck my shit up.

[FourFifty]

So this and the chamber will be the last two that people are streaming around these parts. It's the end of an era. The era of people asking "Can I get a stream"
However, when the show starts, I will be asking that :shifty:

[VSG]

lol if it was 2008 Batista I wouldn't mind him winning at all but he looks so weird now with the weight loss that I can't take his bobble head seriously anymore.

[VSG]

Says the guy that got a shitload of cash from Vinny Mac :roll:

[Innovator]

Ok, why do I have to call somebody if I don't know? It makes no fucking sense

[Innovator]

He's a cross between Pitbull and a baby

[el bobbo]

He's a cross between Pitbull and a baby

And a little bit of Randy Orton.

[Emperor Smeat]

Going to end up missing the Rumble tonight but won't be surprised if Batista really wins it and the crowd just shits all over whoever #30 is if Bryan doesn't show up.

[Innovator]

So a baby on hgh

[VSG]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Be8PmnJCIAAfFcn.jpg:large

Pre-show embedded in the first post now.

[el bobbo]

This Kick-off show streams better on my iPhone than on YouTube. Cool.

[VSG]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Pre-show is ON now

[Razzamajazz]

hbk with an excellent strategy for winning the rumble:

"Don't go over the top and have both feet touch the floor"

[el bobbo]

Hahahaha. Shawn's being a sarcastic dick on the kick-off.

[FourFifty]

Did Hacksaw forget that Jesse James is a second gen wrestler?

[el bobbo]

"If anyone wants to come down and join me, there's a spot right here for you." -Renee Young...

Yes. Yes I would join you.

[Fenix122]

just looked at the royal rumble wiki and it says the 2014 winner is yoshi tatsu.

[Razzamajazz]

why, those balls don't have any numbers on them!

[Frank Drebin]

no.....khali gets a spot....sigh

[FourFifty]

Calling it- Sandow for number 2 :(

[Frank Drebin]

So are these guys gonna cut a face promo even though they're the heels?

[el bobbo]

Oh you didn't know? You betta call somebodyyyyyyy

[Frank Drebin]

http://www.stretford-end.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Vince-McMahon-Upset.jpg

THERE ARE NO MORE "HEELS" AND "FACES"!!!!!

[el bobbo]

So are these guys gonna cut a face promo even though they're the heels?

yes.

[Frank Drebin]

Goldie likes gold....Cody only helps him get bronze.

#heelturn

[FourFifty]

SOMEONE (may have been me) has posted on wikipedia that Tyler Breeze wins.

[Frank Drebin]

Better change my tipsters pick

[Razzamajazz]

did they seriously put a break in the match to show a promo for the royal rumble ppv?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

New Age Outlaws could never really pull off being heels.

[FourFifty]

If Tyler's name is still there, can someone take a screen cap? Having issues with my computer.

[Tazz Dan]

http://imageshack.com/a/img802/2622/6h44.jpg

Speculate!

[Frank Drebin]

Tazz Dan getting the scoop on Ryan Clark

[Razzamajazz]

OH SHIT

[el bobbo]

Cody with the "Suck It."

[FourFifty]

So glad I changed my tipsters!

[VSG]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT

[el bobbo]

New Tag Team Champs.

[Tazz Dan]

Did the outlaws win???? Fuck yes!!!!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

HOLY SHIT!

Oh You Were Not Aware of This! Your posterior better contact someone at once!!!!!!

[Cuzziebro]

Hell yes! And picked it in Tipsters.

[VSG]

6 time tag team champions of the woooooooooorld

Still grinning like a Cheshire cat at the moment

[Tazz Dan]

I took a chance in tipsters with them. So pissed I didn't watch this now.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I expected CM Punk revenge in the tag team title match but I am glad for the result.

[owenbrown]

man a lot of people are gonna be pissed off here if they read Dolphins1925's twitter

[Frank Drebin]

So is Ziggler ok?

[VSG]

WTF Bryan is the curtain jerker. Sure hope that means he is in the Rumble as well.

[Cuzziebro]

Is that Optimus Prime with the voice over?

[Jordan]

Anyone got a good stream?

[GD]

I am very excited for this particular pay-per-view.

[GD]

The main event is on first :yes:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

yess! yess! yess! yess!

[VSG]

What a bloody reaction :D

[teamXtremist]

Ur going down bray

[Kingofdaswing]

Purchased this PPV, as I do with all the WWE "Major" PPV's. Best card in a long time. Hopefully it lives up to it..

[Razzamajazz]

will we see the spiderwalk again?

[FourFifty]

Any streams up?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Don't use BigEvents.TV. Paid 8 bucks for a supposedly reliable stream and got gypped. First time I've ever had issues with them.</font>

[VSG]

Possible spoilers because I am a douche

Are you fucking kidding me here? TD, can you please delete his post?

Either SammyG is Dolphins1925 from Reddit or stole this info from Dolphins1925's Twitter

Don't quote him, you dumbass.

[slik]

Did not expect the Outlaws to win.

Just read Dolphin's predictions...interesting.

[RVDmark]

Anyone help a bro out with a stream?

[teamXtremist]

Also surprised bth NAo winning but yeah Bryan's got this

[#1-norm-fan]

Showing up a little late. Am I hallucinating or are The New Age Outlaws the WWE TAG team CHAMPIONS of the WOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRLD?

[Stealth-Icon]

Could I get a steam please?

[rockman725]

I'm thinking the New Age Outlaws should change their name to the Golden Age Outlaws. It's just more appropriate.

[teamXtremist]

Bryan raping wyatt

[Hanso Amore]

stream please

[Innovator]

CURB STOMP

[Tazz Dan]

No spoilers assholes, even if it is speculation from that dolphins cunt.

[el bobbo]

Check your rep if you requested a stream.

[GD]

"Husky Harris" chants :p

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm not feeling this Rumble like I should be. I think it's because I fear the inevitable Batista rumble win letdown.

[Tazz Dan]

DB gets concussed and comes back to win the rumble.

[teamXtremist]

Great opening match

[Tazz Dan]

I'm not feeling this Rumble like I should be. I think it's because I fear the inevitable Batista rumble win letdown.

I'm the same, and I picked him in tipsters, but I'm hoping he doesn't win.

[el bobbo]

Bray got some air on that senton.

[#1-norm-fan]

Goddamn, I love Bray Wyatt.

[teamXtremist]

I am also hoping Batista is eliminated

[Razzamajazz]

WOOOOOOOOO SPIDER WALK

[Razzamajazz]

yes cole, nobody remembers the exorcist because it's from the early 70s

[#1-norm-fan]

Someone's gonna take advantage and hit Bray with a move of some sort mid-creepy spider walk.

[Tazz Dan]

Bryan is hulking up!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

theres a stream group join it.

[teamXtremist]

Jesus holy shit

[Razzamajazz]

uh oh, blood

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

blood

[Cuzziebro]

Sick Tornado DDT

[el bobbo]

Bray's mouth is fucking bleeding like crazy.

[el bobbo]

Bray's going to have to see a dentist tomorrow.

[teamXtremist]

Bryan should of went to the submission there

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

He bite his tounge I think.

[Tazz Dan]

What a fucking clothesline!

[#1-norm-fan]

This seems like an unusually long opening match.

[el bobbo]

He just bit the fuck out of his hand.

[Cuzziebro]

Holy SHIT!

[teamXtremist]

Match of the year

[#1-norm-fan]

If Bryan has to win this match, I either want it to be via quick roll up or by Wyatt passing out in the Yes lock with a sick smile on his face just before he loses consciousness.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

HOLY SHIT WHAT A REVERSAL

[Razzamajazz]

wow

[VSG]

This seems like an unusually long opening match.

Stop complaining and enjoy this match. Absolutely incredible! I was skeptical of Bray Wyatt being able to handle a match of this caliber and intensity but I am SO glad he proved me wrong!

[GD]

That was an impressive "Sister Abigail".

[#1-norm-fan]

HOLY FUCK!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Best Rumble Opener in.....ever

[el bobbo]

God Damn

[slik]

Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch

[ron the dial]

dang. main event caliber opener there.

[VSG]

Excellent match, now let Bryan enter the Rumble and tear some shit up before I get upset :D

[Droford]

some WM main eventer potential there

/talking about Bray Wyatt

[Kingofdaswing]

I wish they didnt blow their load so quickly with this storyline. This could have stolen the show at WM. No doubt in my mind.

Great match, I would not want to follow that.

[GD]

VSG seems to have become a massive dick as of late.

[#1-norm-fan]

FUCK YES!!!!!!!! CLEAN WIN FOR BRAY!!!!!!!!!!

[VSG]

VSG seems to have become a massive dick as of late.

??

[Savio]

Does the WWE not realize the reaction they are getting with Daniel Bryan?

[teamXtremist]

Bray can go.

[Nark Order]

MOTY candidate already. My god.

[SammyG]

WAAAHHHHHH SPOILERS WAHHHHHHH

[SammyG]

My bad, though, shouldn't have posted that. OH WELL. RASSLIN!

[GD]

Your language seems to have changed a lot.

[VSG]

Sup, Narc? Say hi to the others there if you are having a TPDub party.

[teamXtremist]

Here comes the pain

[Razzamajazz]

lesnar fan is there

[VSG]

Your language seems to have changed a lot.

lol come on now, don't tell me you got upset by language here?

[owenbrown]

So are Lesnar/Show gonna break the ring tonight?

[James Steele]

Does the WWE not realize the reaction they are getting with Daniel Bryan?

He is so over he can lose clean and easily come back from it. It isn't like he got buried in this match.

[GD]

lol come on now, don't tell me you got upset by language here?

Yes.

[teamXtremist]

Flair is the man

[FourFifty]

Wikipedia, once again, says Tyler Breeze. Also, there is no more slot for "winner." It's now "Vince's Flavor Of The Month"

[slik]

Narc, hope you guys enjoy the show.

[GD]

So are Lesnar/Show gonna break the ring tonight?

That will make for a very interesting short Rumble match.

[Nark Order]

Sup, Narc? Say hi to the others there if you are having a TPDub party.

Oh yeah, baybay. Me, Luscious Lou, The Fraze, Poit, and like 9 other people here. I said "hi" for you. I aim to please.

[teamXtremist]

SUNDAY!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

well....HERE COMES THE PAIN!

[rob11]

I remember their Survivor Series 02 match being one of my favorite matches from a story telling viewpoint. Brock F5ing Big Show was awesome.

[teamXtremist]

Lesnar with some stiff shots

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yes.

man up dude. this is a wrestling forum.

[VSG]

This is one PACKED card, kinda wish I bought this now.

Oh yeah, baybay. Me, Luscious Lou, The Fraze, Poit, and like 9 other people here. I said "hi" for you. I aim to please.

:kiss:

[Razzamajazz]

man up dude. this is a wrestling forum.

lol

[rob11]

I just need to see an F5 on the chair and I will be happy.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Lawler False Fact #1

[GD]

man up dude. this is a wrestling forum.

Yeah, well that's just like your opinion.

[teamXtremist]

Ring the fuckn bell

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It was Survivor Series 2002.

[Razzamajazz]

this is great

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

hhahaha wmd

[#1-norm-fan]

Does the WWE not realize the reaction they are getting with Daniel Bryan?

Judging from them letting Bray go over clean there, I think they realize Bray can be a pretty big fucking deal and wanna treat him as such.

[FourFifty]

I'm spending more time re-editing wikipedia to say Tyler Breeze is winning the rumble than I am watching the PPV.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. What a strange start to this match.

[VSG]

In a way, this slow paced match works well after that opener.

[teamXtremist]

F-5 is gold

[GD]

Holy mother of GOD! That was fucking AWESOME!

[rob11]

That was more of an FU but awesomeeee

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Brock Dominates. Fuck yeah.

[el bobbo]

Lesnar murdered Big Show.

[VSG]

lol nvm I take my last post back.

[FourFifty]

Lesnar with the f5. Tipseters are good to me so far!

[Kingofdaswing]

That match was horrible haha but served its purpose. JBL needs to shut the hell up, seriously, he's terrible.

[rob11]

Yes, on the chair!

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Damn.

[el bobbo]

Please have the WWE WHC match on next.

[Tazz Dan]

Awesome F-5

[teamXtremist]

Match could of been way better but damn time constraints

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Both of those first matches were fucking perfectly done. Just sayin'.

[Razzamajazz]

does lesnar have a tramp stamp?

[#1-norm-fan]

Please have the WWE WHC match on next.

... Just noticing that this is the only other match on the card other than the Rumble.

Has there ever been another PPV where EVERY match was main event level?

[teamXtremist]

Somebody call shows mamma

[James Steele]

does lesnar have a tramp stamp?

Apparently he does. I noticed it too.

[Tazz Dan]

Kudos to Big Show for taking this.

[Droford]

Who will save Big Show?

[James Steele]

I really hate these assholes in the front row cheering for Brock.

[FourFifty]

Dead man for the save?

[James Steele]

Brock's tramp stamp says "Kill 'Em All".

[teamXtremist]

Is show crying

[Tazz Dan]

Who will save Big Show?

What Would Kevin Do?

[GD]

This tops Bret's chair shots to Vince at Mania 26.

[Razzamajazz]

Apparently he does. I noticed it too.

looks like it says "burn in hell"

[Razzamajazz]

or kill em all

[el bobbo]

I hate Cena more than I hate Macklemore.

[rob11]

He did turn him in the air, wow! I thought he simply dropped him.

[Razzamajazz]

holy shit the chair actually broke

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

he broke the damn chair on big shows back!

[rockman725]

So who's gonna be the next big man that Lesnar has to dominate before Taker arrives? Ryback?

[GSP]

Anyone got a stream? Firstrow keeps telling me browser doesn't support live video now. Pissing me off. Missed the video for that entire match

[GD]

And Big Show retires from wrestling forever.

[Nark Order]

Man. Brock is kind of a dick.

[VSG]

Ads on a PPV, lads.

[Droford]

They should have had IRS cameo in these Tax Commercials

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

SammyG should be banned.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Did Ambrose just say "How do you know I don't have 2 numbers"?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I love Brock. His whole character and mindset is HURT HURT HURT HURT HURT IS HE DEAD YET? NO? HURT HURT HURT. and it's glorious.</font>

[Droford]

Ambrose will win the Rumble..he has all the numbers!

[VSG]

Ambrose is just so natural on the mic

[teamXtremist]

Lol the shield -nobody has two numbers !Ambrose -I have all the numberslol

[slik]

Dissension between Ambrose and Reigns...

still predicting ROMAN REIGNS eliminates the most people in the Rumble tonight.

[#1-norm-fan]

That was one of Randy's better promos in a while.

[VSG]

Hmm Orton/Wyatt coming up in the near future maybe?

[Savio]

Only one number matters....3.....3-M-B

[teamXtremist]

Lol duck dynasty reject

[SammyG]

SammyG should be banned.
:(:(:(:'(:'(:'(:'(

[el bobbo]

YES!!!

WHC match up now.

[GD]

This is far from "one of the most anticipated rematches of all time" , Michael Cole.

[el bobbo]

The Duck Dynasty reject insult was great.

[GSP]

Any streams?

[SammyG]

Plenty, GSP.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Thank god the title match isn't closing as had been reported. Still keeps the slim hope of a Bryan win alive!</font>

[slik]

I guess that means Aerosmith (I'm assuming that was Aerosmith) will be doing one of the WM themes.

[el bobbo]

This is what we're missing at the Grammys

http://www.uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/lorde.gif

[Tazz Dan]

Any streams?

Here (http://www.wwe.com)

[el bobbo]

I don't think I've been excited about anyone who has won the Royal Rumble since the year that Edge came back.

[GD]

The champion comes out first as per traditional championship match rules.

[owenbrown]

Orton vs Cena... I predict this match will have the following sponsors...

[GSP]

Never mind it finally worked again

[rockman725]

Well I guess this match is going to be about 45 min of nothing, or the Rumble is going to be having one STINGing surprise...a lot of time left

[Droford]

I would enjoy a Kofi heel turn on Cena to cost him the match, that'd be funny

[FourFifty]

According to wikipedia, Tyler Breeze is going to win the rumble after drawing number 450....

[el bobbo]

http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/164/files/2014/01/emma.gif

Emma has 15134123 times more charisma than Lorde.

[#1-norm-fan]

Cena winning this match and Taker making a return to win the Rumble would be... just super.

[James Steele]

Who is that having spasms at the Grammys?

[FourFifty]

http://www.wrestleenigma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/tyler-breeze-entrance.gif

[el bobbo]

Holy fuck. All I heard were boos for Cena's music.

[el bobbo]

Who is that having spasms at the Grammys?

Lorde.

[James Steele]

FFS, WWE couldn't do better than neon green and pink?

[#1-norm-fan]

Well I guess this match is going to be about 45 min of nothing, or the Rumble is going to be having one STINGing surprise...a lot of time left

Brodus Clay vs Xavier Woods filler match to break the "night of main events" combo.

[James Steele]

Also, there is some aquamarine thrown in for good measure.

[Razzamajazz]

i got me a 3rd row seat for the elimination chamber :cool:

[FourFifty]

Emma has 15134123 times more charisma than Lorde.

Who?

[el bobbo]

Who?

The chick who sings that "Royals" song.

[rob11]

Daniel Bryan chants :lol:
