I would legitimately mark out if it were Morrison or Kennedy. I'd jump out of my seat if it were MVP. Give me something unexpected, WWE. I am somewhat expecting The Dream to be one of the surprises.

Going to make some random predictions on the last ten guys.

1. Shawn Michaels. Gives him a chance to interact with a bunch of guys at once.

2. Kurt Angle. I can just see him trying to get more in on Baron Corbin. And they are going to be loading up this show. How he gets eliminated will be interesting, since I can’t see him taking a major bump.

3. Lucha House Party. We’ve had one guy enter three times, but we’ve never had three guys enter as one.

4. Jimmy Uso. Here comes the Ax.

5. Jey Uso. Here comes the Smasher.

6. Matt Hardy. Probably while Jeff is in the ring.

7. Shelton Benjamin. I think they want a bunch of black people in. And this could continue the old joke of Shawn Michaels eliminating him. I’d mark for a re-do of the springboard into the Sweet Chin Music spot.

8. Braun Strowman. You know he’s going to be in.

9. The Miz. I can see Miz entering and going a little while so he can enter the tag match already exhausted.

10. Curtis Axel. To Real American. Nah, just kidding — EC3.

In terms of Rumbles I enjoyed watching when they happened, 2012 has held up the worst. You had seven mystery entrants (Ricardo Rodriguez, Kharma, Lawler, Booker, Cole, Duggan, Road Dogg), a previously announced special appearance from Foley, and Ziggler and Big Show were in despite having world title opportunities earlier in the show.

But when you look at the other 20 entrants, there are just so many nondescript undercard guys. Alex Riley, Justin Gabriel, Primo and Epico, David Otunga, early Jinder Mahal, and Jey Uso but not Jimmy Uso.

The surprise entrants were fun in the moment, but watching back it really just highlights how weak the roster was at the time.

Bad News Gertner

What's great is the same people marking out over a surprise entrant from the past are the same people bitching about part timers taking up spots at Wrestlemania.

Emperor Smeat
01-25-2019, 06:30 PM
To be fair a bit, the main difference is how WWE handles it.

For the Rumble, part-timers usually don't have a major role in the match itself beyond being a nice surprise for the crowd and some crowd pleasing spots. Also usually are just replacing spots that would have went to low tier stars. Only Rumbles in recent years where WWE mishandled things was 2014 with Batista winning and the first Women's Rumble because McCool and the Bellas had way too much focus in it.

For Mania, WWE's biggest problem is having part-timers constantly hog up the marquee or notable spots on the card when that would have been more useful as a rub for some of their regular stars.

Bad News Gertner
01-25-2019, 06:39 PM
It's still taking away a PPV pay day from a regular.

Emperor Smeat
01-25-2019, 06:52 PM
True.

Not sure how pay breaks down for the Rumble itself outside of maybe the Final 4 and winner but I'd assume its a lesser evil than locking away "main event" level spots that have a much higher pay to part-timers.

Mr. Nerfect
01-25-2019, 06:53 PM
Eh, I think that's a generalization. I don't mind the part-timers and I don't honestly care who we get in the Rumble. Do people still get bonuses for PPVs?

A counterpoint to my own observation - ridiculous and detrimental to the main roster as it was, at least stuff was constantly happening.

Many recent Rumbles have been stacked with "important" people the company feels the need to protect and it leads to a pretty standard formula. Someone comes in, gets a shine, then stands around in the corner and does nothing until it's time to be eliminated.

Good for Hager. He needed something like that. It's hard to really get that WWE stank off him, but being a big-ass good ol' boy from Oklahoma that seems like he could accidentally win a fight against most people, trying to get a legit rep behind him is a good idea. They seem to be booking him in a clever way.

I've got no interest in seeing Hager in AEW right now, because of that WWE stank, but if he washes it off with this run in Bellator, MLW and maybe does some work with ROH and New Japan, I could get into him. I could buy him in a ROH World TV Title feud with Jeff Cobb and/or an IWGP US Title program with Juice Robinson.

Thanks for linking that. I am not too knowledgeable about MMA, but it seems like they made a smart decision giving him a scrub. Hager looks to be in great shape and healthy. Not sure if he left himself too open going for that submission. It looks like he can get guys down easy enough. That elbow looked vicious.

From a production standpoint, they seem to be taking care of Hager. Dropping a lot of his connections and the commentators took good care of him. It also sounds like the fight was actually in Perry. Lol at him doing the “We the People” taunt.

It's hard to really get that WWE stank off him, but being a big-ass good ol' boy from Oklahoma that seems like he could accidentally win a fight against most people, trying to get a legit rep behind him is a good idea. They seem to be booking him in a clever way.

I've got no interest in seeing Hager in AEW right now, because of that WWE stank, but if he washes it off with this run in Bellator, MLW and maybe does some work with ROH and New Japan, I could get into him. I could buy him in a ROH World TV Title feud with Jeff Cobb and/or an IWGP US Title program with Juice Robinson.

He's been working in Lucha Undergound also. As Jake Strong, He's their current Champion.

I don't blame him for being annoyed. Lesnar has shown countless times he can put on a good show when the match is well put together. He's had a good match with Reigns. Whoever decided that match should be them kicking out of each other's finishers a billion times should be fired.

Supposedly the reason for his reaction is due to Vince throwing out everything that was planned for the match the day of the show and wanting Lesnar to win which pissed off Lesnar, Reigns, and everyone else who worked on the match.

Vince McMahon is the promoter/head booker of WWE. He produced years of television programming to attempt the goal of audience manipulation. This stifled Brock and others creatively in order to support that goal. When you get to WrestleMania, the audience had already made up their mind before Brock even walked out there. Brock did tremendous work in 2017 -- with AJ Styles, in the Fatal 4-Way and did the best he was allowed to with Joe. I would be pissed off too if I put my star in the hands of a guy and it fucks up like that.

Either WWE told him to take down the tweet and/or something else is going on with Lars at the moment.

Lars also locked his account afterwards as well.

Lars Sullivan's Twitter account has deleted the Tweet that went up prior to the Royal Rumble PPV that read: "There has been a lot of speculation about Lars recently. It's true, he went missing several weeks ago and I was just able to contact him this morning. Lars wants everyone to know he is in a good place, and is sorry to everyone he's disappointed." The tweet was allegedly from his "social media representative."

Someone I was just reading suggested that Bryan is putting together a group of former NOAH guys. While I don't think that is the case, that would certainly be a more interesting way to take things than Bryan simply hijacking The Wyatt Family.

Samoa Joe and Cesaro are former NOAH guys on the SmackDown roster. Hideo Itami and Nigel McGuinness are on 205 Live. Kassius Ohno, War Raiders, Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong are in NXT.

Take out Strong & O'Reilly, who are a tag team in NXT and doing fine. The War Raiders are doing their own thing. Joe seems "too solo" for the act. Cesaro is with Sheamus. That leaves Itami, Ohno and Fish to join Bryan. I can imagine Ohno there in a flannel as a person who was ravaged by cheeseburgers. Itami & Ohno as a tag team could be pretty sick, actually.

The racial overtones are why Booker should have won.

If Booker was going to lose, chill with the racial shit and have a different finish. The whole "People like you don't beat people like me." and then...you beat him is awful. A pedigree, clean, then a full 10 seconds before you're pinned is also an abysmal finish.

It was shit all around. All that redemption build, all that racial shit, just to have Hunter go over in lazy fashion. I still feel the same way now as I did then.

I also like Sonya Deville. I haven't seen that much of her work, but I like her look and something about her makes me want to see her succeed. Maybe it's because she was thrown out there with an MMA gimmick just a few months before Rousey came in and she was still plenty green?

If they really want more soap opera storylines, then the Mandy Rose/Naomi/Usos/Sonya Deville stuff should have led to Jey pretending to be Jimmy to bed Mandy and Sonya revealing she has a secret lesbian crush on Mandy, who rejects Sonya, which leads to a three-way between her, Jimmy and Naomi. I mean, as PG as you can make that.

I thought that’s where they were going with the hotel stuff from the other week (with Jey going instead of Jimmy, especially when he was like “MY wife?”) but a guy pretending to be another guy in order to bed a women probably wouldn’t go over too well in certain circles.

I'm not having a go at Cornette either. I quite enjoy his shoots with other people, or on specific topics - he's far less negative when discussing wrestling's past, so things like a Timeline or Guest Booker shoot. I thought his proposed WM18 card in the Invasion Guest Booker looked like shit, but I appreciated the effort and enthusiasm, And stuff like him interviewing Bill Watts or Percy Pringle is a better sense of the man minus the vitriol.

However, I'm put off by his inability to admit when he's wrong. The level of hatred he has toward so much of modern wrestling...to the point where he says he doesn't care if Kenny Omega has the greatest wrestling match ever, because the fact he's had comedy matches in the past invalidates it...it's soured me on him even when he's talking about the past. If he can get a lot of his takes on modern wrestling wrong, who's to say he's right about the past either, and not equally clouded by prejudice?

It doesn't really bother me it's a monster heel killing the jobber, but the match needs to go as short as possible. Under a minute preferably. Jobber charges, eats a kick, power move, power move, finisher, 1-2-3.

If the heel is a "cocky" heel, the matches can drag on a little more as he has a more of a "cat with a mouse" feel, playing with his prey rather than destroying it as quickly as possible like the monster heel. More posing, feinting, out-maneuvering, etc.

Jeff Jarrett's punches are more entertaining to me than 80% of the dives we see on a weekly basis. I caught The Rumble of course and he was good but on Raw without the goofy costume he came off so much better working over Elias until the end of the segment. I would like to see a one on one between Double J and Elias down the line.

They are called enhancement talent for a reason. They're supposed to not only technically make your stars look impressive but physically as well. They should look like average joes cuz they get their asses kicked really badly lol.

Lol, no. It's more like the picture of the duck that you turn on your side and can no longer unsee the rabbit. It's something that's possibly even subconsciously there, but when it's pointed out to you it ruins it. Like people pointing out that Owen Wilson says "Wow" a lot. You start looking for it.

Ryback got really over crushing twerps every week

There are debates on these boards alone as to just how over Ryback did or didn't get. I've never been that impressed by him or his crowd reactions. That being said, I think it does work on modern audiences because of what they are conditioned to. Watching the Royal Rumble pre-show, everybody was gushing over how great Buddy Murphy is, but to me he's really boring and I can't see him having wide appeal.

I think the modern audience can be a terrible indicator of what is or isn't actually going to attract other people.

It doesn't really bother me it's a monster heel killing the jobber, but the match needs to go as short as possible. Under a minute preferably. Jobber charges, eats a kick, power move, power move, finisher, 1-2-3.

That's all salient, but the psychology of it is just wrong for me. Why would a scrub even dare to get in the ring with a monster heel? Shouldn't that be suicide?

This is going to be a weird example, but have you ever seen the Mortal Kombat movie? I don't know why this is springing to mind, but there's that guy that fights Goro, who is like the monster of the film. That guy isn't a fucking loser. He looks like a legit martial artist that can hold his own for a second there.

WWE just goes too corny with it with the James Ellsworths and the guys with absolutely no definition and obviously nothing at all. It doesn't even lend itself well in comparison, because even the average guy would look good compared to them. It's just very hokey to me. There are ways to do squashes that don't give the game away.

Add another to the list of people Nia Jax has injured or came very close to injuring.

Rajah.com reported that there was real heat on Nia Jax from R-Truth because she hurt his “face and ankle” during her attack. Apparently WWE turned it into an angle by recording R-Truth looking for her backstage.

Jerry “The King” Lawler later claimed the heat was real on his podcast saying:
“And this got real heat for real. She blasted poor R-Truth and knocked him face-first into that wall. He was hot, for real hot. They were having to hold him back there. She made it look good.”

Within the span of like 24 hours, she also came very close to injuring Io Shiari during the Women's Rumble and Mickie James during RAW. Shirai landed awkwardly from the toss Nia did to eliminate her and James almost hurt her arm from the double Samoan Drop.

Evil Vito

On one hand, Steph always makes sure she gets to be the one to announce milestones in the women's division, so it's very possible this will be confirmation that we'll be getting the first ever women's WM main event. If that's the extent of this segment, I'm cool with it.

But I have a feeling it'll be more than that. Becky will do something to piss Steph off and that tension is going to invariably result in Charlotte being added.

I think we could be headed for a WM30 type of build where they take all of the common IWC complaints about Charlotte and just use that to fuel the story. "ShoehornCharlotte" was trending because people don't want to see her added, and that's exactly why the company would want her added - they'll play off of the perception that she's the company's golden girl being unfairly inserted into the hero Becky's match.

And as much as I'd still prefer to see the straight up Ronda/Becky match we never got...the emotional payoff for the triple threat might be even better provided that they don't decide to have a WM finish so baffling that it would make last year's blush.

Mayo clinic says there is no full cure if you have the disease. You get rid of the infectious part but still have some of it remaining long afterwords.

A vaccine can prevent hepatitis B, but there's no cure if you have the condition. If you're infected, taking certain precautions can help prevent spreading the virus to others.

Doubt he's lying but he did have a very long bout fighting off and rehabbing from the disease.

Either way, by the time he's cured WWE was no longer interested in him as a wrestler and he wasn't interested anymore in going back to his usual style of wrestling. Him getting outed as having Hep B pretty much is where you can pinpoint when his active career ends.

Even if he didn't retire in 2011, about a year later is when the Abdullah the Butcher scandal occurs involving the Hep disease which probably would have killed whatever chance he had left of ever wrestling in the WWE.

Not familiar with the tournament rules, but often when they do these things, the title shot exists within that realm. It's likely he'd be able to challenge for a title in NXT, NXT UK or 205 Live -- providing he is eligible for the Crusierweight Title.

But...

I think it's revealed he's decided to go after the NXT North American Title.

Not surprising. No one knows who these guys are, and while they've got a ton of potential, most of them are severely overrated as workers.

He's good, but it is a dumb as hell name that will severely limit his career if not changed.

They just need to plug him into something that matters and he'll shine, but NXT doesn't matter. The downside is that the main roster doesn't matter either, but also gives guys less shine.

Yeah they backtracked that. The Last ad I saw on either NXT or SD just had "Why would you watch this" and it was just a big Question Mark without the band's name.

Saw no ads on any tv shows or for online ads. WWE network is usually heavy on ads on random sports sites.

Golddust. Undertaker. Mankind. Big Show. Big Poppa Pump.

Just naming a few, those are all pretty fucking stupid, too. And they all not only stuck, but you can't picture history without those names.

It's one of those things that sounded dumb at the onset, but actually seeing him with the "eccentric" gimmick in action, it is worlds better than Patrick Clark would have ever been. It is one of those names that grows on you. If they don't bury and put the generic "just another person" stink on the guy on the main roster like they do with most callups, eventually most folks will think the same way.
