[Nicky Fives]

Kharma must know a good abortionist......

[Stealth-Icon]

I guess we will forget a Woman beat up the #1 contender

He already lost the match, so shouldn't be the # 1 contender anymore

[Blakeamus]

I guess we will forget a Woman beat up the #1 contender

When did that ever happened? :shifty:

[Jura]

lol Sheamus did Mr Kennedy's finisher.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>This might already be my favorite Rumble ever.</font>

[FourFifty]

You betta call somebody.

[Theo Dious]

Wow. A third of the field is going to surprise entrants.

[Bad Company]

Holy shitttttt

[Hanso Amore]

I dont know what is worse Nicky - that moronic comment or your horrible grammar

[Nicky Fives]

[Supreme Olajuwon]

SOMEBODYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[Dirk Ziggler]

Road dogg .... surprise of the night

[Nicky Fives]

I dont know what is worse Nicky - that moronic comment or your horrible grammar

what is the correct term for a person who performs an abortion then?

[Blakeamus]

fuck was hoping Jericho would of been 24

[LoDownM]

Would've been amazing if Billy Gun came out next.

[Stealth-Icon]

Who the hell is that?

[FourFifty]

An abortionist?

[Blakeamus]

Brodus Clay, Kane, Cena, Jericho, Orton, Swagger left?

[FourFifty]

STOP!



SWAGGER TIME!

[Nicky Fives]

An abortionist?

according to Hanso, that's grammatically incorrect.....

[FourFifty]

Yea, I doubt that Brodus is going to be in this Rumble.

[FourFifty]

according to Hanso, that's grammatically incorrect.....

He likes girls with penises.

[Blakeamus]

Yeah looks that way

[Nicky Fives]

new theme for Barrett...... I don't like it already.....

[FourFifty]

Hmph, I want to listen to End of Days now.

[Dirk Ziggler]

That's Barrets. New theme...his old one was better

[Volchok]

Was really hoping for a Billy Gunn return after Road Doggs. I so marked out for Road Dogg though.

[Stealth-Icon]

Kane should come out next and clear the ring and take the title for most toss outs.

[Testicle]

This has been shit so far.

[Hanso Amore]

according to Hanso, that's grammatically incorrect.....

No, Retard. You used NO instead of KNOW. You are so fucking dense you cant even tell what was wrong.

[Nicky Fives]

so much for #27......

[Hanso Amore]

He likes girls with penises.

Big words, from the guy with a Kane Tattoo.

[FourFifty]

I marked out for about 3 seconds to hear David's theme.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Love Otunga's gear. Huge improvement.

[Dirk Ziggler]

Don't feud guys. Be a star.

[Volchok]

lol loved how king basically said wwe.com was full of shit lol

[Nicky Fives]

There's your winner..... #28......

[FourFifty]

Fuck! I called him for 30!

[Jura]

Finally some real star power.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

No, Retard. You used NO instead of KNOW. You are so fucking dense you cant even tell what was wrong.

lol jesus calm down

[Dirk Ziggler]

Michael Cole fucked that line up

[Theo Dious]

So Jericho comes out last? And who else, Kane?

[FourFifty]

Also called for Barret to be the last one out.

[Emperor Smeat]

The flashing jacket is #29

[FourFifty]

Pretty sure I also called for Jericho to be the longest lasting one.

[Nicky Fives]

Triple H? Undertaker? Who's 30????

[CSL]

I'd have bet Jericho would be 30, wonder if we're going to get "something special"

[FourFifty]

Ryder for 30!

[CSL]

oh

[Nicky Fives]

Big Show?!?!?!?!

[Theo Dious]

Alright. I better hear a story stating that Kane specifically asked not to be in the Rumble match. Why the hell would they end a streak like his for no reason.

[FourFifty]

Well it's officially down to The Miz or Orton, good money on Orton.

[Double D]

The flashing jacket is #29

I call Jericho's jacket for the win.

[Hanso Amore]

Interesting final 4

[Stealth-Icon]

So Kane's streak of consecutive rumbles ends? lame

[Crimson]

Final 4 already..blah below avarage Rumble

[LoDownM]

They should've just done another 40 man RR this year with all the surprise entrants.

[Nicky Fives]

no Kane = Bullshit

[CSL]

that will have been a shock to the system for Jericho

[Nicky Fives]

FUCK!

[Theo Dious]

Wow no Hornswoggle tonight.

[FourFifty]

GOD DAMN IT! NO! ORTON IS OUT!

[Stealth-Icon]

Did the Miz ever get thrown out or is he hiding somewhere?

[Hanso Amore]

Did the Miz ever get thrown out or is he hiding somewhere?

SHow tossed him at the same time as Rhodes

[Crimson]

STOP STARING AT THE WRESTLEMANIA LOGO ITS RETARDEDDD

[FourFifty]

I wouldn't mind hearing Vince say 5 more people are headed on their way to the ring...........

[Dirk Ziggler]

Did the Miz ever get thrown out or is he hiding somewhere?

He's. Out

[Bad Company]

Crowd dead for Jericho Sheamus.

[Dirk Ziggler]

Crowd dead for Jericho Sheamus.

As is this thread

[Blakeamus]

There goes Kane's consecutive Rumble appearances...

[Blakeamus]

Crowd dead for Jericho Sheamus.

Should of kept Orton and Jericho the final two

[Hanso Amore]

Has to be the longest final two ever.

[Nicky Fives]

longest one-on-one final two ever......

[Stealth-Icon]

Long battle for the final two in the rumble.

[Bad Company]

Yeah crowd was hot for Orton. Also, this rumble has been fucking terrible.

[FourFifty]

I lost everything for the rumble match with tipsters.

[Sting Fan]

Wow, didnt pick that.

[Blakeamus]

WOW!!!

[Nicky Fives]

SHAY-MOOSE!!!!

[rated rjo]

....

[Theo Dious]

Woah!

[Juan]

WHAT>

[Stealth-Icon]

That sucked.

[FourFifty]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad Chris Jericho lost that match.

[Hanso Amore]

Ugh no. WOW.

Gotta be shitting me. All the build up...The End of the World, NO talking...And no payoff? Ugh.

[Bad Company]

wtf

[Blakeamus]

Looks like again the winner of the Rumble will go for the World Heavyweight title...

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Excellent Rumble.</font>

[FourFifty]

I'm just going to assume that Sheamus got that role because he said he'd be the middle person in a human centipede with Vince and Triple H.

[Blakeamus]

damn

[Emperor Smeat]

So close for Jericho to win.

Probably also a huge sign Bryan won't keep the title till Mania because no way the WWE uses up a main event match for that.

Rumble itself was great and so was the ppv overall.

[Testicle]

Ha. Awful PPV.

[Hanso Amore]

I dunno. Not a huge Sheamus fan. So he must be going after DB at Wrestlemania then. So Jericho can still go after punk.

DUnno, this whole Jericho return has been pretty disappointing. THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT. Push that angle for over a month. No payoff yet.

[Blakeamus]

Can't wait for RAW tomorrow night

[BizarroKing]

I actually like that Sheamus won, was unexpected.

[Dirk Ziggler]

I dunno. Not a huge Sheamus fan. So he must be going after DB at Wrestlemania then. So Jericho can still go after punk.

DUnno, this whole Jericho return has been pretty disappointing. THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT. Push that angle for over a month. No payoff yet.

Exactly. What a huge disappointment.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>-Rock vs. Cena
-Punk vs. Jericho
-Bryan vs. Sheamus
-MITB
-Del Rio vs. Orton (heard it rumored)

Could be a great Mania.</font>

[Crimson]

Bad Rumble . Comedy relief in it doesnt make it good.

[DirtyD]

Gosh.... Cole should've won.

[MoFo]

Love that Sheamus won, but thats one of the worst Rumbles yet...

[Jura]

I've been pondering a Jericho vs Taker at WM scenario for the past few weeks.

[Double D]

I like Sheamus and all, but Jericho winning only made sense. Guess that's why it didn't happen :/

[Hanso Amore]

Bryan vs Sheamus doesnt interest me at all for a WM match. And I dont think the WWE would push that. Bryan will probably lose the strap.

I liked the match. Was fun. Good Spots, lots of fun entrants, just dont love the ending.

[MIZantine Empire]

Jumpin' Jeff Farmer is going to make his much awaited WWE debut as part of Jericho's "It's going to be the end of the world as you know it" deal.
my avatar approves of this post

[Wake Up Call]

No Kane, No Cena, instead, Cole and Lawler.

Terrible Rumble.

[Shadrick]

<font color=goldenrod>Excellent Rumble.</font>

this. fuckin loved it.

and i'm not at all going to say "ah man wwe dropped the ball wit jericho return hurr hurr hurr" because we don't know where its going yet. he didnt even lose 15 minutes ago and people are like "wtf no pay off what the hell man." So your payoff was him just winning the rumble? that would have been predictable as hell...not saying wwe is above predictable, but they weren't going to foreshadow a winner THAT easily.

[CSL]

not sure why anybody was expecting Kane or Cena in the Rumble

[steveweiser]

So everyone here agrees jericho winning was a huge let down and dissapointed with all the hype, let's just remember that when we all diss TNA for its terrible booking, WWE was awful tonight

[CSL]

wasn't the best PPV/Rumble etc but how exactly do you reach the conclusion that it was "awful"?

[rated rjo]

Give people a surprising - and believable - Rumble winner and they still shit all over it. Note to WWE: there is nothing you do that people won't whine over.

WWE = THE JOHN CENA OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING ORGANIZATIONS

[XCaliber]

There were too many spots wasted for my liking especially all that comic relief crap I'm kind disappointed Jericho didn't win but he's been away for a while now and besides now he's a false prophet as a result lol.

[Crimson]

I give it a 2/10

[Mr. C]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sheamus won? That’s disappointing. I don’t see a matchup with Sheamus…not with Daniel Bryan, not with Punk, not with Henry if he takes it. The divergence from everything Jericho has been doing for the past month ending with him getting kicked off seems somewhat pointless.

The Rumble itself was quite terrific. Kingston's handstand was amazing. Rhodes dumping all the legends (which I was certain was leading to Goldust eliminating him :(). All three announcers being in there was my favorite part.

[Hanso Amore]

The "WAIT AND SEE WHERE IT GOES" with Jericho argument is silly. I have no problem with someone not being happy with this.

So after a Long build up to a return, with cryptic messages - we get a return where Jericho just acts silly and leaves....Ok....Odd. Lets see where it goes.

Cue 2-3 More weeks of him just acting like a fucking fool, crying, skipping out on matches with no explanation.

FINALLY he speaks, saying that at the Rumble, The World is coming to an end. The whole THEME of his return. At all is built up to....lose the match.

Sure, it could lead to something interesting, but by now, I dont really care. I am not as invested as I was, and I know plenty of others fans will be too. He came back after nearly two years, and now really has no Steam, or Goal. Its like, cool, Jericho came back and is midcarding.

[FourFifty]

If I'm right, I scored 300 points for tipsters. Got the two champion matches perfect, with the triple threat being worth double.

[Immortal Moose]

surprised by that end, and very much enjoyed the show.

edit: im not against that surprising ending

[Tazz Dan]

wasn't the best PPV/Rumble etc but how exactly do you reach the conclusion that it was "awful"?

Didn't get the results they were hoping for = awful PPV.

[DirtyD]

Not the egg mac-muffin of endings, but could have been worse.

[Hanso Amore]

I wasnt sure where they were going with the "ANYONE IS ELIGIBLE" thing, but seems like all that meant was announcers and a diva were allowed in...They pushed that phrase, but it really didnt lead to anything that hasnt happened before. Multiple times before.

[MoFo]

this. fuckin loved it.

and i'm not at all going to say "ah man wwe dropped the ball wit jericho return hurr hurr hurr" because we don't know where its going yet. he didnt even lose 15 minutes ago and people are like "wtf no pay off what the hell man." So your payoff was him just winning the rumble? that would have been predictable as hell...not saying wwe is above predictable, but they weren't going to foreshadow a winner THAT easily.


No, lets have it right, Jericho said very clearly on Raw

"THIS SUNDAY, AT THE RUMBLE, IT WILL BE THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT"

Nothing happened, ppl are underwhelmed, rightly so.

[FourFifty]

Loved Ricardo's entrance! Marked out so hard when I heard that music.

[Hanso Amore]

Had everything I look for in a rumble, its like they follow a formula.

- Surprise Returns
- Legends
- A Few Comedy bits (Ricardo is the highlight of the WHOLE night.)
- A Crazy Spot to stave off elimination

[Mr. Pierre]

Pretty good show overall I thought.

-Opener was ideal. Big Show curling Bryan was insane, and it was a good triple threat match. Put over Bryan perfectly, and props to Henry if he really is hurt. All three put on a good show.

-Divas was good. Cool spot from Kelly.

-Cena/Kane was excellent. These two definitely exceeded my expectations, and put on a helluva match. The post-match was done perfectly too. Everyone involved put on a great segment. Ryder vs. Kane at Mania is going to have an amazing payoff. :y:

-Punk/Ziggler wasn't as good as their match on RAW a few weeks back, but it was still good. The finish was a bit bizarre, but it made sense. The finish was just slower than I expected, and Ziggler was completely bitched out. He'll recover though. Good match.

-Rumble is always awesome. It's just a really fun match to watch. Road Dogg was awesome, Foley, Booker, Cobra vs. Socko, Ricardo, etc. The ending was a shocker and I have no idea where they are going with the SD side of things.

Overall I thought it was a solid PPV :y:

[Hanso Amore]

No, lets have it right, Jericho said very clearly on Raw

"THIS SUNDAY, AT THE RUMBLE, IT WILL BE THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT"

Nothing happened, ppl are underwhelmed, rightly so.

Exactly. Like that statement led two months of build up to tonight. All the Videos, the big return, the odd behavior. All lead to tonight. Then nothing really.

Like had it come to Orton and Sheamus at the end, and Sheamus winning, it would be more well received.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Am I the only one that loves the idea of DB vs Sheamus? The two of them work really well together. Plus, it's the same match that got bumped from Mania 2 years ago.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a ticket seller. I just think it's a great match, and could have a great build.

[Hanso Amore]

I think not putting Clay in was to "protect" him. If hes in it, and doesnt win, someone would have to eliminate him. This way he is still unbeaten, etc.

[Innovator]

I love Jericho, thought he'd win, but cmon people Sheamus has been in a holding pattern since September, FINALLY they pulled the trigger on him.

[steveweiser]

My problem was bryan is a terrible champion and it was a crappy finish to the cage match, divas match was meh, cena and kane finish in a countout then the entire build up with laurinitus and punk and he never got in the ring even with him being referee, absolutely pointless. A ridiculous squash match with funkasaurus and macintyre both could have been better utilised in the rumble, then the rumble itself as much as I enjoyed the comedy and a little nostalgia the finish was flat, all jerichos hype I wouldn't have minded if we had seen some development after the match but after his promises this was a HUGE let down

[Juan]

I'm ok with Jericho not winning. He's still gonna feud with Punk and that program will be money on its own.

[Corndad]

Will give my thoughts later but just a little nugget.

Last year what match got bumped from Mania? Bryan vs Sheamus. Yea. Year later. Looking like a Main Event for a Title. Wow.

[DirtyD]

I think not putting Clay in was to "protect" him. If hes in it, and doesnt win, someone would have to eliminate him. This way he is still unbeaten, etc.

I agree completely, I believe that's what they did with Kane as well.

[Cuzziebro]

The only thing wrong with the rumble was that they wasted too many spots with legends or 'Surprise Entrants'.

I marked out for Ricardo, Kharma and Road Dogg but that was it. All 3 commentators didn't need to be included. It was obvious they were not going to win nor last very long.

[Mr. Pierre]

I'm ok with Jericho not winning. He's still gonna feud with Punk and that program will be money on its own.

Exactly. Punk/Jericho doesn't need the Rumble attached to it to make it work. Especially if the Smackdown side has no "money" matches on the table right now, they need all the help they can get for the WHC match.

[Xero]

Was a fun Rumble. Wasn't the greatest, but far from the worst. Some fun spots. Marked for Kharma and Road Dogg. The finish was great. I expected Jericho or Sheamus. Kind of glad they went with Sheamus because it opens up more possibilities to get to Punk/Jericho instead of having the cop out of Rumble winner.

The rest of the card was okay. Divas match was shit. Cage match was okay. Cena/Kane was okay, bothered me that Cena was in superface mode coming out. Ziggler/Punk was awesome.

Okay PPV overall and was fun.

[Sting Fan]

Is anyone else wondering if there might be repercussions from Laurinitis counting as well as the ref?

I'm pretty sure he only hit the mat twice and I just wonder if some technicality might come out on Raw to have Punk stripped.

Dunno maybe it was just a complete fizzle :(

[The Show Off]

I'm disappointed that Chris Jericho didn't win, but that has nothing to do with it "making sense" to have him win or that his not winning is "wasting" his build up. I'm just disappointed that Jericho didn't win because I'm a mark for Jericho.

That all being said, I loved the match, especially the ending. Was it one of the best Royal Rumble matches of all time? No. But Jericho/Sheamus at the end of the 2012 might be better than HBK/Undertaker at the end of 2007. Not sure haven't seen that rumble in a while.

I don't know who Sheamus faces at Wrestlemania. As of right now the only guy that makes sense is Daniel Bryan or if the just throw him in some 4-way. I don't see how else you can do it. Sheamus/Orton doesn't make sense because their both faces and they've already feuded over the title to lukewarm results. Sheamus/Barrett doesn't make sense because I just don't think Wade is ready to be a champion yet, and they've been wrestling on Smackdown for a month now. Sheamus/Henry doesn't make sence because Henry is beat up right now and do be a Wrestlemania main event the match should either a "bankable match" or it should be a well performed match, Sheamus/Henry would be neither. That leaves us with Sheamus/Bryan because at least that match would be a good match and Daniel Bryan being a weasel heel is a great foil to Sheamus' bully face.

Unless of course the move Miz over to Smackdown some how and have Miz/Sheamus at Wrestlemania, that would work I suppose.

[Skippord]

pretty stoked Sheamus won

been incredible for awhile now, also I hope he tells a story of how his great aunt Agnes won a battle royal in Ireland

[BizarroKing]

So I guess this means Kharma gave birth? I doubt WWE would have let her do that if she was still preggers.

[Triple Naitch]

I like Sheamus. :(

[Hanso Amore]

So I guess this means Kharma gave birth? I doubt WWE would have let her do that if she was still preggers.

She must have. Which is odd, dont think the dates match up well. Unless she was 2-3 months along when she left the WWE. This is what confused me.

[James Steele]

Enjoyed the Rumble event. I'm pissed Triple H wasn't in it, but Sheamus winning makes sense and has me seriously interested in what the hell Jericho is going to do now.

[Xero]

She also could have lost it.

[Hanso Amore]

And people can complain all they want about the "too many surprise entrants" but come on, who go left out that is really at all worthwhile? Hawkins? Baretta? Reks?

No one would care about them. And Hacksaw, Lawler, Road Dogg, Booker, Foley and Kharma got some of the biggest reactions of the night. WAY more entertainment value.

[Ermaximus]

I like Sheamus. :(

Me too! :y: 3xN, you're the boss!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>People who complain about the entrants...fuck off. They all got more of a reaction than jobbers would have gotten.

The only entrant that had me scratching my head was Jey Uso. Dunno why they'd only enter one half of a tag team when they could put in any number of singles guys, but whatever.</font>

[Flash Funk]

My highlights: Kharma, Road Dogg, Johnny Ace, Kofi's handstand, and Sheamus

lowlights: McIntyre being the lamb, Cole and Lawler in the Rumble, Rock/Cena being shoved down our throats

[The Show Off]

She also could have lost it.

That's pretty grim...

Intresting note when I saw Beth Phoenix making her aggressive tags and when the announcers talked about her dominating as of late I said to my brother in law "It looks like they're building up Beth for her feud with Kharma at Wrestlemania." Though I didn't predict she'd show up at the Royal Rumble.

[Triple Naitch]

Hey guys, if there's anyone in the WWE who needs time to shine in Miami, it's Sheamus.

Trolling

[Destor]

This was the right call. The Jericho angle that comes form him losing will be good and he had nothign to gain from the win, he was already beyond established. this takes shemus from glorified midcarder to being considered top tier. very good show, excellent rumble, fun times.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

This was the right call. The Jericho angle that comes form him losing will be good and he had nothign to gain from the win, he was already beyond established. this takes shemus from glorified midcarder to being considered top tier. very good show, excellent rumble, fun times.

This Destor speaks the truth.

[Blitz]

Ricardo Rodriguez was easily the best thing tonight. Also, Sheamus won me $40 in my Rumble pool so good on him.

[Ermaximus]

Yea, Ricardo was easily a wtf moment.

[JimmyMess]

The only thing I'm proud of is saying Chris Jericho would be #29.... and that's not something to be very proud of :/

PS, I missed the ppv because I had to work! GAY GAY GAY GAY

[Destor]

Richardo was fucking awesome.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I enjoyed the Rumble. It was kinda dumb, but it was mindless fun. Dunno. Marked out like a fool at all the appropriate moments. Happy Sheamus won. Definitely not an all time classic, but enjoyable.

Yay!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Wasn't checking this thread when it happened so I'll ask this now. Did it seem like Camacho was supposed to catch Hunico when Kharma threw him out, but Camacho totally fucked it up?

Def seemed like it to me.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/aioFdCCSA3E" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

1:20. Camacho definitely sprinting like he missed his cue.

[Emperor Smeat]

Either he was meant to catch him or be something similar to the Divas spot where he falls down trying to catch him and Camacho still gets eliminated.

Probably would have ended up dropping him if the next spot where Kharma gets eliminated staid the same since he was in the same area.

[James Steele]

Kharma left in mid-May. It has been 9 months, so I would assume the child was born November/December and she was able to recoup quickly enough to return.

[Destor]

Kharma left in mid-May. It has been 9 months, so I would assume the child was born November/December and she was able to recoup quickly enough to return.
not like she had to lose the weight #nottryingtobeadickitsjustfuckingtrue

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah definitely think Camacho fucked up. I assumed the only reason he stayed out was to do a catch spot or something.</font>

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Even if she was horribly out of shape she could've just worn flannel like some people do.

holy hell its been that long already? where is the time going

[MIZantine Empire]

Is anyone else wondering if there might be repercussions from Laurinitis counting as well as the ref?

I'm pretty sure he only hit the mat twice and I just wonder if some technicality might come out on Raw to have Punk stripped.

Dunno maybe it was just a complete fizzle :(
i think the two count was just a product of him being johnny "slow effort of crawling" on the spot.

[MIZantine Empire]

People who complain about the entrants...fuck off. They all got more of a reaction than jobbers would have gotten.

The only entrant that had me scratching my head was Jey Uso. Dunno why they'd only enter one half of a tag team when they could put in any number of singles guys, but whatever.
didnt one of the usos get a dui or something? maybe it was punishment making him see his brother be a part of a big ppv payday, and him not being involved?

I kinda thought Kane would come in and clean house and then Cena would come down (not in the Rumble) and pull him out/cause him to be eliminated.
It does speak some volumes about the quality of the lower tier guys that they don't have enough people to fill out a rumble that they need to bring in Road Dogg/Duggan/4 Announcers/Foley..

[Juan]

They didn't NEED to bring those guys out. There are surprise entrants every year because people have come to expect them, not because they don't have the guys to fill the match

...ummm...no. they didnt "need" to use the legends/announcers, they chose to. they did it because after last year they realized exactly how well it worked. and they used it very well this year. it got massive pops live (and at the bar i was at lol) and it was exactly what it should: FUN. people like it, it works. that =/= "oh our roster sucks lets bring in a bunch of legends to fill the gaps."

[Destor]

They didn't NEED to bring those guys out. There are surprise entrants every year because people have come to expect them, not because they don't have the guys to fill the match
Waan knows

[Destor]

lol, you were quicker on the draw.

[Droford]

One year just for giggles they should let a surprise entrant win.

i said it last week on here this was THE year to have an upset win with Cena/Rock headlining (and of course they did infact do that.) the odds of a situation like this happening again anytime even remotely soon is slim at best.

[Xero]

Unless they book Punk vs. Austin the night after Mania for next year.

:shifty:

LOL, yes this is the new trend.

[Droford]

Ive been thinking that as well as Rock/Cena has worked out, they will find some match that they can book as the Main Event 1 year in advance of WM 29..probably involving Taker and a retirement match or something..

yeah now damn you all!

Punk vs Taker at WM 29 with 1 year of Build Up..lol

[Juan]

Also, I think the ending of the Punk/Ziggler with Laurinaitis made sense.

Johnny was planning on screwing Punk, but then he got the letter on Raw so he decided not to interfere in order not to lose his job. Seems pretty clear cut

[Destor]

MAKE SURE TO TUNE INTO TO THE RAW AFTER TO MANIA TO FIND OUT NEXT YEARS MAIN EVENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

get the heat off of him now so he can screw him later?

[Malfeitor]

I enjoyed the Rumble. Marked hard for Hacksaw and Road Dogg.

The handstand spot with Kofi was awesome.

Punk coming out wearing a Madball hoodie was too sick.

Overall, I'm happy.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Didn't get to watch the show. Sorta glad I didn't, to be honest. It seems like a Rumble that works best when you see the isolated bits. Ricardo Rodriguez entering sounds like a highlight to me. Also, the Kharma clip had me marking out.

[ZosoMetalManiac]

The Rumble match was fun. I marked out like mad for Road Dogg and Kharma. I was bummed Jericho didn't win, but oh well. I also enjoyed Punk/Ziggler too. Not the best PPV, but I still feel like it was worth the time.

[Lock Jaw]

Caught a replay starting somewhere during Kane/Cena.

Was meh.

Couple of great spots, but I dunno... it seemed to be missing something this year.

I greatly enjoy Sheamus and do not mind him winning, but am curious as to where Jericho goes from here.

Also, I would laugh if Sheamus goes against Daniel Bryan for the WHC at Mania. They got bumped from Mania last year. Now they would be main eventing.

Of course, I hope Daniel Bryan loses the title before Mania, but have no idea to whom.

[Lock Jaw]

Meanwhile, a few months ago:

[D Mac]

Dunno if this was mentioned in here before but was this one of the longest finals of the Rumble in recent memory? Seemed like Jericho and Sheamus went at it for 10 min at least. One of the best finals I can certainly recall besides Taker/Michaels.

[Dark One]

Caught a replay starting somewhere during Kane/Cena.

This was my feeling as well. I think it's possibly due to the sheer number of "surprise" entrants. They were fun, but it meant that there wasn't really much drama as far as who would win until a handful of main events came out near the end, and then it was a flurry of eliminations leaving us with the final 2.

There just wasn't really much mystery or focus on wrestler's making a solid run to it. I mean, about halfway through, Miz and Cody got lost in the shuffle and then when Show came out at 30, they were gone in an instant. It seemed like the first quarter was about Miz surviving and then Cody got a bit of the same storyline, and then it was a muddled mess up until the ring was cleared down to four.

It was fun, just not as engaging as years with some more drama and mystery.

[Autobahn]

The rumble was okay for what it was. Sheamus winning is great, it will help him more than it could help Jericho.

[Cool King]

I think as a whole, the PPV was ok. It wasn't the best but it was alright.

The Royal Rumble Match though had some good moments but I feel it wasn't as good as last years. I loved Ricardo Rodriguez and I liked the surprise entrants of Road Dogg, Jim Duggan and Kharma. I was surprised to see Kharma, as it doesn't feel that long since she was on tv, but time flies. I get the feeling that Kharma will be going after Beth now. I noticed that Beth was acting more dominant and arrogant than usual during her match. The way she slapped one of the Bella Twins to tag herself in and then claimed it was "her ring" and all that. I think that may have been the reason for the Diva's Match. Just to start all the Diva's from where they left off in May but now with a bit of a twist as Kharma is now a face.

Just like the majority of people, when someone gets a new entrance theme, they don't like it and I'm not quite feeling Barrett's theme at the moment. It doesn't seem to fit him but I'm sure it'll grow on me over time. Also, while on the topic of music, I was surprised to hear bagpipes during the Elimination Chamber promo with Sheamus, as we all know that bagpipes are mostly associated with Scotland. Maybe they were just going for a Celtic feel when they made the promo?

Anyway, back on topic and to the actual event, and I was both surprised and unhappy that Sheamus won. His win seemed to lack the "pizaz" of previous Rumble wins for me. With the previous years, when the last man was eliminated it was a big "Holy Shit!" moment. But when Sheamus won, I was more "Oh, Sheamus has won. :-\". The last time I was like that was in 2008 when Cena won.

But I am interested to see where Sheamus goes from here and hopefully we won't see him face Bryan at WrestleMania but I get the feeling we will. Possibly with someone else added to the match. My first thought is that being The Big Show, but we'll see.

As for Jericho. I really wanted him to win (So maybe that's explains why I felt a lack of "pizaz" for Sheamus' win) but I don't think that's him done now. I can see him claiming to face the WWE Champion at WrestleMania because he was the last Raw Superstar in the Rumble Match. That way, we'd still get the Punk/Jericho match at WrestleMania that everyone is sure will happen. Maybe tonight Jericho will explain himself for the way he was acting when he returned and eveything will be clearer to the audience.

But overall, it was a good PPV, but not the best Royal Rumble.

[whiteyford]

Wasn't checking this thread when it happened so I'll ask this now. Did it seem like Camacho was supposed to catch Hunico when Kharma threw him out, but Camacho totally fucked it up?

Def seemed like it to me.

When i 1st saw it i thought exactly the same but watching the replay it seemed more like he was trying in 'kayfabe' than as an actual spot. Like meatball said though even if was a fuck up he would have been eliminated during the Kharma part anyway.

[Shadrick]

She must have. Which is odd, dont think the dates match up well. Unless she was 2-3 months along when she left the WWE. This is what confused me.

She was 3 months

[Savio]

My computer blue screened during this :(........so how did we do in bingo?

[Savio]

Also i am pretty baffled Kane was not an entrant.

What the fuck is going on with Hogan's face/eyes?

[crusnik]

I didnae see the ppv or streams,but the way everyone was talking it was so-so.It might have been better if Drew Macintyre was in it and won because if he did he would have gotten fired and faced off againt d bryan in wm.Aso,have Booker in there but not Cole and King(especially Cole) Jericho winning would have been awesome too,but Sheamus is ok.

[OldSchoolFan]

Am I the only one who thinks Orton going like he did was a screw up and it was supposed to be him and Jericho at the end with Orton winning, as they may have it planned in a way that Jericho needed to lose... Just seemed odd that he was there then poof! Gone!

[Savio]

Would have loved to see Y2J attack Sheamus after the match then grab the mic and go on a tirade saying how he ruined his moment.

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

JABBA'S RUMBLE THOUGHTS

I'm thrilled Orton didn't win.

The Rumble match itself wasn't all that interesting. The guys I thought had a chance of winning weren't put in any real peril, until they were actually eliminated, aside from the final two men.

Why did they waste spots on Otunga, Primo, Epico, Michael Cole, and one of the Usos, when the likes of Drew McIntyre and Brodus Clay would've made much more compelling viewing, with how they've been handled recently?

The surprise entrants got the crowd going, but then were eliminated too quickly, killing the crowd until the next one.

I watched an interview with CM Punk where he said his mission was to make his match more entertaining than the Rumble, and he and Ziggler succeeded.

[XL]

Screw this "Wah-wah, boo-hoo, Jericho didn't win" jive. WHERE THE HELL WAS CHRISTIAN!?

[Double D]

What the fuck is going on with Hogan's face/eyes?

"Let me tell you something, Brother, It’s an electric stim you know? If the pain in my back is too bad and it goes to my head, there’s an electrical current that I can turn on that will cancel out any pain waves; it pretty much makes you so you don’t feel the pain. It’s not a drug, it’s just electricity. I’ve got like a garage door controller with all these buttons on how intense I want to make it, my nipples stand on end if I want to! And my wiener stands straight. It’s much better than Viagra!”

[Skippord]

Barrett's new music is by far the most disappointing thing about the Royal Rumble

sounds like it should be used in a Scooby Doo chase scene or something

[Big Vic]

I could barely hear it, cant find it up anywhere though.

[MIZantine Empire]

one thing i remember not being happy about, is the fact that miz and cody rhodes lasted a long time in the rumble, and it was awesome, but it just seemed kinda weird to have show come in, and all of a sudden bam both are eliminated. just didnt seem right.

[RVDmark]

I watched an interview with CM Punk where he said his mission was to make his match more entertaining than the Rumble, and he and Ziggler succeeded.


:y: If it wasn't for the weird Laurenitis / Ref Bump bits, easy MOTY candidate. Still MOTY so far, not saying much since were still in January (just).

[Ermaximus]

Is it me or does Khali return at the Rumble every year?

[Xero]

Yes, he does.

I thought he was done.

There was a collective groan when he came out.

[Xero]

That looks like a real haiku.

It is not one, though.

It could be one if I tried.

[Innovator]

Dammit Xero, ugh.

I read haiku as haku.

I miss that Samoan guy.

[Big Vic]

Rumble went Khali
But didn't know that he
will blow out his knee

[Lock Jaw]

I think what was missing from this Rumble was all the mini-stories and things during the match.

All the stories within the match seemed to revolve around the guest entrants and announcers.

Also, I think it was missing "star power". Miz, Sheamus, Orton, Jericho, and Big Show were the only "big" stars in the entire match.

[Lock Jaw]

So, in conclusion, this:

WHERE THE HELL WAS CHRISTIAN!?

[Xero]

Show was such a let down at 30.

[Jordan]

I agree Show was a letdown for 30, but he turned it around and worked it well I thought.

[Jordan]

I would have rather Kane entered at 30 and Cena take him out by interfering, bump him through a table or something.

[Big Vic]

Agreed^
There was a creative plan in place for the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view that would have seen John Cena enter, win the match and earn a title shot at WrestleMania 28. As the storyline would have gone, Cena would have been forced to choose between a WWE Title match or a match against The Rock at WrestleMania 28. Obviously that didn’t happen.
So glad that didn't happen.
