Official 2013 Royal Rumble Discussion Thread (Classic Vince McMahon Intro Video Inside)

[Fox]

Del Rio has some shnazzy tights.

[Droford]

what stops Ricardo from picking up del rio to his feet to break the 10 count?

[Ermaximus]

Ricardo has some fried chicken in that bucket. He plans to bribe Big Show to lay down for the 10 count.

[SammyG]

WTF is danging from Show's right elbow?

[CSL]

ahaha Show's sell job of that low blow

[Droford]

WTF is danging from Show's right elbow?


Bandage over a cut

[Nicky Fives]

Ricardo has some fried chicken in that bucket. He plans to bribe Big Show to lay down for the 10 count.

that would only work on Mark Henry.....

[Droford]

Del Rio's going to be the most electrified man in sports entertainment here shortly

[loopydate]

Apparently WWE built their set out of Venetian blinds

[James Steele]

THOSE LIGHTS ARE EXPENSIVE! WTF ARE YOU DOING BIG SHOW

[Outsider]

There is no better weapon in this match than lightweight, thin plastic.

[Theo Dious]

CZ-DUB! CZ-DUB!

[Droford]

Tables Lightbulbs and Computers

[James Steele]

holy shit!!!!


CZW! CZW! CZW! CZW!

[Rock Bottom]

Despite the "boring" nature of this match many people may criticize, I think this is a solid way to open a PPV, excluding opening up for the WHC (please delete that belt). Two solid upper card guys telling a pretty good story, even if it's a little slow paced. You don't want to open the show with a match that won't be topped later on anyway.

[loopydate]

CZW! CZW! CZW!

[Emperor Smeat]

Like how regardless of who grabs a table, the crowd is always cheering once they see it.

Big Show is the bad guy but got cheered for grabbing the table.

[Theo Dious]

WTF is danging from Show's right elbow?

Semen.

[James Steele]

Remember that JBL/Big Show Barbed Wire Steel Cage match?

[Droford]

sorta like a scaffold match

[James Steele]

Jesus. HOLY SHIT!

[Theo Dious]

This IS going to be Ziggler's cash-in, right?

[Outsider]

This looks promising.

OUCH.

Can't remember the last time I saw a bump like that.

[Krimzon7]

HOLY CACA

[Droford]

pick him up ricardo

[James Steele]

That camera angle ruined it. It looks way less of a fall now.

[Ermaximus]

HOLY SHIT!

[Nicky Fives]

I do not think too many 500-pound men could climb that scaffold thing..... props to Show, the guy is an athlete.....

[VSG]

Seriously thought that was it.

[el bobbo]

Nice fucking chokeslam.

[Theo Dious]

HOW DO YOU LEARN TO FALL OFF A 20 FOOT SET-PIECE???

[James Steele]

Wonder what those things are certified to hold weight wise...

[Keith]

LOL @ Del Rio: "Now".

[SammyG]

Haha, ok, he got up from that at 9. ok.

[CSL]

fucking hell, that bump was a bit awkward

[James Steele]

Big Show is by far the best "giant" of all time. Andre was more spectacle than worker. The Big Show can work anything.

[Theo Dious]

Nice fucking chokeslam.

*INSERT BEETLEJUICE JERKING HIS CROTCH WITH HORN SOUND EFFECTS*

[Fox]

OMG MOMENT!

[James Steele]

Guys, stay the fuck away from the Announcer's Table. Both of you have gotten that bastard thrown on you.

[Rock Bottom]

rofl "how could you do that? be a star"

[loopydate]

This is my Tipsters finish. Stay down, you son of a bitch!

[Outsider]

Why destroy the set on the first match? It's just untidy :(

[Ermaximus]

Shades of Mark Henry.

[Droford]

Del Rio needs to find a forklift

[James Steele]

Holy shit, they are pulling out all the stops for the opener. The Royal Rumble entrants are going to have to avoid all kinds of shit on their way to the ring and as they get thrown out.

[Theo Dious]

Big Show is by far the best "giant" of all time. Andre was more spectacle than worker. The Big Show can work anything.

*INSERT "BUT ANDRE COULD DO A DROPKICK WHEN HE WAS YOUNG!" FANBOY INSISTENCE HERE*

[Fox]

I sure miss the day of chair shots to the head.

[Arrogance]

Way more into this match than I thought I would be.

[Ermaximus]

Almost guaranteed that a Divas match will follow this. :y:

[Nicky Fives]

Del Rio needs to find a forklift

or duct tape..... both have worked before.....

[SammyG]

This match ain't bad

[Keith]

These two are having a damn good match.

[Krimzon7]

PRETTY HEELISH CHAIRSHOT

[Theo Dious]

GOD DAMN

[James Steele]

I love unique weapon moves. Remember when Undertaker would do that sick looking chair guillotine?

[Droford]

LOL lets rip off cena

[Corporate CockSnogger]

lol Duct tape again.

[Tazz Dan]

Cena Batista spot

[Arrogance]

lol duct tape

[VSG]

No not the duct tape finish again! :lol:

[Nicky Fives]

CALLED IT!!!!!!!

[Fox]

oh man the duct tape

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Big Show is by far the best "giant" of all time. Andre was more spectacle than worker. The Big Show can work anything.

No doubt. When Big Show is motivated he is pretty fricking great.


Also, are they really bringing back the Cena/Batista LMS finish?

[Ermaximus]

LOL DUCT TAPE? FFS! CENA/BATISTA MUCH?

[Krimzon7]

HAHAHA LIE CHEAT STEAL

[James Steele]

SON OF A BITCH!!!

Why are you re-using the absolute worst finish in the history of professional wrestling?

[Theo Dious]

lol Brilliant and rehashed...

[Crimson]

lol big show is like a walrus

[Savio]

Cole is acting like cena never did that

[CSL]

lol "does he have to fight the whole of Mexico?"

[Tazz Dan]

ALBERTOOOOOOOO

[Juan]

I've spent this whole match looking for a link with a decent stream. They all seem to freeze as soon as I close all the ads

[VSG]

Ok, that was a fantastic match. The spear through the barricade, the chair shot to the left arm, the cross-arm breaker and the duck tape all played nicely in progression and had a real story as compared to just Cena duct taping Batista's legs.

[Outsider]

If anyone called that ending, you're weird.

[Droford]

Itd be funny if they left Big Show taped to the ropes the whole night

[Theo Dious]

Now get the hell out here Ziggler.

[CSL]

people in Phoenix can count in Spanish? colour me surprised

[James Steele]

SON OF A BITCH!

That is the single stupidest fucking finish ever. A babyface shouldn't do something so god damned chickenshit.

[Evil Vito]

LOL JBL was channeling his feud with Eddie on commentary.

[Fox]

Apparently Big Show cannot do one sit up.

[KaosDarksol]

Didn't think we would see another last man standing match end in duct tape super del rio

[SammyG]

WHERE'S THE SHIELD, THAT WAS INJUSTICE

[James Steele]

Eddie Guerrero could, but Eddie could do anything and make it work.

[Theo Dious]

Itd be funny if they left Big Show taped to the ropes the whole night

LOL that would be awesome as fuck.

[James Steele]

Fuck. Ruined a great match with a stupid fucking finish. How can you have a title match on your 3rd biggest PPV end in duct tape?

[James Diesel]

Well, I don't think anyone called Duct Tape in Tipsters so that's good

[el bobbo]

SON OF A BITCH!

That is the single stupidest fucking finish ever. A babyface shouldn't do something so god damned chickenshit.

Lie. Cheat. Steal.

[Fox]

I've spent this whole match looking for a link with a decent stream. They all seem to freeze as soon as I close all the ads

Check rep

[Arrogance]

Well, no cash.

[Outsider]

What the hell is a Slim Jim?

[James Steele]

They've been showing those ads for awhile now. They might need do indiegogo like Jake The Snake.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Sup AJJJJJJJJ

[James Steele]

What the hell is a Slim Jim?

Beef Jerky stick.

[VSG]

Jimmy Steele, stop bitching already. Not very Texan.

[loopydate]

Itd be funny if they left Big Show taped to the ropes the whole night

I've always wanted to see one of those "I'm not leaving this ring until I get what I want" promos to last an entire night, where the guys in the subsequent matches have to work around the guy sitting in a chair in the middle of the ring.

[James Steele]

Jimmy Steele, stop bitching already.

No. It is a fucking stupid finish to a World Title match.

[James Steele]

They could make Ziggler tonight. Hope he wins it and breaks Rey's record.

[Nicky Fives]

why do they never mention the second winner to have won from #1?

[Theo Dious]

That is the single stupidest fucking finish ever. A babyface shouldn't do something so god damned chickenshit.

Dude, Austin won the 2001 Rumble with a damn chair.

[Tazz Dan]

Hahahaha Big E

[Droford]

my ziggy?

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PRpea5UOdSI/TndS94Oox9I/AAAAAAAASNk/tktO7xh4SWs/s1600/Ziggy.jpg

[el bobbo]

Holy shit. He sounds like that?

[VSG]

Choc Lesnar on the microphone!

[Keith]

The fuck?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Hahahaha Big E

[Skippord]

Big E is my favorite

[James Steele]

:lol:

Big E Langston's twitter gimmick has gone legit.

[Theo Dious]

Love listening to Big E talk.

[Ermaximus]

Dear God, don't ever give him a mic again.

[Evil Vito]

Big E is the man.

[Crimson]

It seems someone breaks the record for longest stay in the Rumble every year

[Nicky Fives]

BIG E. HAS CHARISMA!

[Tazz Dan]

Hahahaha Big E

Hahahaha Big E

[Krimzon7]

CALLING A HELL OF A SHOT DOLPH! I LOVE IT

[VSG]

lol oh shit he mentioned the title unification scenario.

[James Steele]

Dude, Austin won the 2001 Rumble with a damn chair.

Are you seriously comparing a steel chair to god damned DUCT TAPE??!?!

[Ermaximus]

Um Dolph, Jericho did that, minus it being at WM.

[Skippord]

Dear God, don't ever give him a mic again.
not actually how he talks

[Immortal Moose]

Dolph unifying the titles would be pretty awesome.

[James Steele]

Big E is going to be what they should have done with Brodus Clay.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Big E

[Crimson]

This years Rumble is already better to last years shitfest. Backstage promos!!

[James Steele]

*VINTAGE* Backstage promos!

Wow, that is a good factoid for Antonio to bring up.

[Tazz Dan]

Ain't nobody got time for that :rofl:

[CSL]

Darren Young looks and sounds like somebodies Nan

[Theo Dious]

lol the PTP seem to have stolen some personality.

[Krimzon7]

MILLIONS OF DOLLAS MILLIONS OF DOLLAS

[Droford]

I feel like they need the blue screen with their name behind them in graphic form instead of just black

[James Steele]

Hey John Cena, calm the fuck down.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

These remind me of the promos on that WCW video game character selection screen.

[loopydate]

Excellent Rumble promos. Would like to see some from people who haven't already been announced, though.

[Theo Dious]

Vintage RR promos!

[Droford]

29 Brogues for 29 fellas

[SammyG]

LOL that would be awesome as fuck.
I guess he'd win the Rumble that way, taped to the ropes.

[BigCrippyZ]

Can I please get a stream here? I'm in a wheelchair and can give great oral. :naughty:

[James Steele]

I really hope Sheamus turns heel again soon or adds some depth to his babyface character.

[James Diesel]

These remind me of WCW Thunder. lol

[SammyG]

This reminds me of those shitty ass intros to WCW Nitro and Thunder. The wrestlers' rants or whatever

[Arrogance]

Fuck, lost my stream.

[loopydate]

lol "I don't eat Fruity Pebbles"

[Emperor Smeat]

Ryback's voice sounds like that guy who does movie trailers.

[James Steele]

RYBACK - "I sure as hell don't eat Fruity Pebbles."

QUOTE OF THE YEAR

[Outsider]

Ryback has terrible teeth.

[Theo Dious]

Nice improvement from a Ryback promo.

[James Steele]

That is hilarious that the guy whose whole gimmick is "Feed me" professes his hatred of sweetened cereals.

[Rock Bottom]

wow, nice old school stuff from WWE, lol. had a little 80's/90's cheese to it.

[Droford]

yay for tipsters points

[Theo Dious]

40 minutes in and just one match so far, damn.

[CSL]

hey it's Clement Marfo and the Front Line

[James Steele]

YES!!! The Miz lost. He is a horrible fucking babyface.

[Theo Dious]

That is hilarious that the guy whose whole gimmick is "Feed me" professes his hatred of sweetened cereals.

Empty calories, Steele-man.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Time for Sandow and Kane to win me some points in the WWE Pool.

[Krimzon7]

RYBACK - "I sure as hell don't eat Fruity Pebbles."

QUOTE OF THE YEAR

I bet his stomach growled when he said that.

[James Steele]

Kinda think Rhodes Scholars win and Kane/DB part ways for singles runs at Elimination Chamber without actually breaking up.

[BigCrippyZ]

No streams for cripples huh?

[Droford]

hell fire and goat face

[Outsider]

I hate those belts.

[loopydate]

Love when DB covers his ears for Kane's pyro

"Y'all hug on Monday night. We fight on Friday night."

THE BRAND SPLIT IS STILL REAL TO JBL, DAMMIT!!!

[Nicky Fives]

Bryan needs a haircut

[Ermaximus]

LOL.

[loopydate]

Cody, did you learn nothing from Miz?

[Krimzon7]

a hair explosion versus a jacked up freddie mercury!

Mike tyson was a vegan...well he ate holyfield.


JBL IS GOD

[James Steele]

Cool spot with the low dropkick.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Kinda think Rhodes Scholars win and Kane/DB part ways for singles runs at Elimination Chamber without actually breaking up.

Really hope they do stay as allies after they eventually lose the belts. We already saw them feud before becoming a team so don't really want to see it again. Having an occasional, loose alliance between the two would be good and isn't really something you see often anymore.

[Keith]

Did Michael Cole say "Yes, Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys"?

I think Lawler meant Brian "The Beard" Wilson, no? LOL

[James Steele]

JBL should be on RAW.

[Nicky Fives]

Did Michael Cole say "Yes, Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys"?

I think Lawler meant Brian "The Beard" Wilson, no? LOL

do not think so as DB was in a surfboard.....

[loopydate]

Did Michael Cole say "Yes, Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys"?

I think Lawler meant Brian "The Beard" Wilson, no? LOL

No. Bryan had just used a surfboard.

[James Steele]

I love Josh Mathews, but that is just me not getting over him not winning Tough Enough. He would have fit in beautifully with the light heavyweight/cruiserweight division they had from 01-05.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I can't wait for the inevitable Ziggler vs Bryan feud, where DB goes for the suicide dive and Langston steps in front of him and doesn't budge, and DB goes down like he hit a wall.

[James Steele]

http://i.imgur.com/E1nU0pJ.jpg

WWE could have booked him as "The WWE Universe's little brother." if the WWE Universe had existed in 2002.

[Skippord]

These remind me of the promos on that WCW video game character selection screen.
The Giant said "I'M GONNA KILL YOU" on one of those and when I was a kid I thought it came from inside the room I was in and I was terrified

[loopydate]

I love Josh Mathews, but that is just me not getting over him not winning Tough Enough. He would have fit in beautifully with the light heavyweight/cruiserweight division they had from 01-05.

Josh and Taylor > Maven and Nidia

[Krimzon7]

COMMETARY BOTCH. CLASSBOOK WRESTLING RIGHT HERE.

[James Steele]

Y'know what the fuck Maven is doing right now?

http://www.pwmania.com/artman/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/maven-huffman-mugshot.jpg

Sucking dicks.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

How do you botch a neckbreaker?

[SammyG]

Like that

[James Steele]

Josh and Taylor > Maven and Nidia

I liked Nidia, but I agree. I always wondered what would have happened if Greg wouldn't have got hurt. I liked him too. Greg/Josh could have been the tag team that kept tag team wrestling alive during 00s.

[Evil Vito]

WOOOOO Hell No!

[James Steele]

WWE is going to do some clusterfuck multi-team ladder match for the tag titles at WrestleMania. It'll be awesome.

[Droford]

Rock/Punk next? or filler match?

[loopydate]

I love Team Hell No, but this would have been a good time to move the belts to Rhodes Scholars to set up the THN title chase for Mania.

[Outsider]

Oh fuck, does this mean it's Diva match time? Bugger.

[Theo Dious]

LOL "There goes Clark Gable."

[James Steele]

Also, Maven has apparently done some porn in his time away from wrestling.

[CSL]

Willie The Regals sighting

[Droford]

Rumble Time..hmm

[What Would Kevin Do?]

While the rumble match is usually last, I feel like Punk/Rock has to close.

[James Steele]

No filler. Just epic RUMBLE MATCH.

[Krimzon7]

Here's the numbers promo

[James Steele]

While the rumble match is usually last, I feel like Punk/Rock has to close.

Agreed. Plus, there is a lot more uncertainty with the title match than the Royal Rumble.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

They can have Cena win, have the Rock win, have the Shield attack the Rock, have Cena save him, then end the ppv with a staredown.

[Arrogance]

Damn, that's a lot of beef.

[Tommy Gunn]

Not this promo again -_-

[Theo Dious]

Who the fuck is this bitch that does these voiceovers for the Rumble every year?

[Keith]

I'm on Twitter, and I don't know why a couple people are saying Kurt Angle was spotted backstage at the Royal Rumble.

That ain't happening.

[CSL]

lol Squat Team sighting in 2013

[el bobbo]

No filler. Just epic RUMBLE MATCH.

Hour long Rumble, Divas match for a piss break, then Rock vs. Punk...

I'm in.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Although honestly, I'd still rather See Rock vs Ryback.

[Theo Dious]

Not this promo again -_-

Hey, it injects Heenan and Monsoon into the event.

[James Steele]

http://i.imgur.com/nc7wV.gif

[Tommy Gunn]

I'll be happy if someone new wins. If Orton, Cena or Fella win, fuck that no one wants to see that.

[el bobbo]

They can have Cena win, have the Rock win, have the Shield attack the Rock, have Cena save him, then end the ppv with a staredown.

No.

[James Steele]

This PPV theme song is catchy as fuck and works even though it shouldn't.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Rock/Punk being last definitely suggests a Rock win.</font>

[James Steele]

Hoping Triple H wins.

[Theo Dious]

Wow that title winner number has gone way down.

[James Steele]

I think Kofi winning would be a hell of a surprise. Dolph Ziggler should win this though.

[James Steele]

SHOW HIM YOUR PENIS

[James Steele]

Vince must have written this segment.

[Skippord]

how rad would it be if Kane whipped his cock out right here?

[Skippord]

my guy's about to start streaming Girls apparently

[Ermaximus]

Kane got #30 and Bryan got #2?

[Keith]

Autotune to Girls on 501?

Wut? lol

[James Steele]

Kane gonna enter at #30, destroy shit, go in a massive heel turn, and win the title at WrestleMania, and then go on to make everyone forget the convoluted backstory and just remember his utter reign of destruction.

[Droford]

Kofi Kingston for #2! PLZ

[Krimzon7]

Girls is coming on soon.

[loopydate]

:lol: "Your receiver will autotune to Girls on 501"

The joys of streaming without clearing your DVR schedule first.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

my guy's about to start streaming Girls apparently

lol same. Diva match better be next while I get another stream.

[James Steele]

Holy crap, I think I picked Dolph at #1 and Daniel Bryan at #2. I'm banking at Tipsters.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Nevermind he's just cancelled it.

[VSG]

Fuck Bo Dallas.

[Innovator]

I'd love to see Cena cost Rock the match, paying him back for Mania 27

[CSL]

fucking PAC on PPV sighting

[James Steele]

Triple H just looks weird with short hair. I just can't get used to it.

[Krimzon7]

it feels so good to see Brett kissing HBK's ass.

[Keith]

So we don't get to see Girls?

[CSL]

hey Ted DiBiase is still alive

[Ermaximus]

DIBIASE SIGHTING!

[James Steele]

Shit, I picked John Cena at #30 and DB at #2.

[Skippord]

I changed from the Girls guy to a different guy because I don't approve of watching the show Girls

[Nicky Fives]

WE WANT WRESTLING!!!!!

[Theo Dious]

Autotune to Girls on 501?

Wut? lol

Pacifc, people, Pacific.

[Outsider]

RUMBLE TIME.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Chico the brave: the story of scotch hall.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I'm only gonna post from my phone during this match. Typo's are to be expected.

[CSL]

tell you what, Hornswoggle's made meteoric strides when it comes to learning how to talk

[Theo Dious]

Can we fuck off with this Be a Star BS already.

[Rock Bottom]

does this mean a divas "intermission match" between the RR and the title match

[VSG]

ITS TIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!

[Ermaximus]

OH SHIT HERE WE GO!

[James Steele]

I really hope they use this to push Ziggler to the stratosphere.

[el bobbo]

Big E won't be number 2. Ok

[Tommy Gunn]

I'm here to show the woooooooooooooorld

[Fox]

Ziggler's intro needs pyro.

[Arrogance]

Come on Dolph, you've been carrying that fucking thing for too long without a payoff.

[VSG]

lol if Big E got #2

[Skippord]

tell you what, Hornswoggle's made meteoric strides when it comes to learning how to talk
Dr. Shelby's also a great speech therapist I heard
