Daniel Bryan obviously can't be in the Rumble because CM Punk is already the Anti-Authority underdog.

[FourFifty]

Oh shit... Here comes the tears...

[Cool King]

The buzzer is different this year.

[Corndad]

Mae Young is one tough son of a gun.

[#1-norm-fan]

Daniel Bryan obviously can't be in the Rumble because CM Punk is already the Anti-Authority underdog.

Luger/Hart ending 2.0

[Poit]

Wait a minute. They said that 62% of Rumble winners in the past decade have gone on to win the championship at Wrestlemania. How is that even possible? If you're talking about a once-per-year event over a decade, the percentage has to be a multiple of 10%.

[el bobbo]

I really fucking hate The Lumineers.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>And this tribute is the WWE production guys earning their money. Awesome.</font>

[Savio]

makes me feel sad

[KIRA]

she was quite the badass and coming off that tribute seeing Rey just makes me even sadder.

[Lock Jaw]

Rey Mysterio vs Alberto Del Rio

[Poit]

Man, that made me tear up on Smackdown, and now again.

[Cool King]

Wonderful tribute video.

[Lock Jaw]

Alberto Del Rio only fights other Mexicans

[Blonde Moment]

I think a great honor would have been to have two of their best woman wrestlers go out there and bust their asses for 10 min

[el bobbo]

Is it bad I have no desire to see that Title Match? Pumped for a lot of other stuff but that match. Eh.

Same here. That's kind of messed up, but no one wants to see Cena vs. Orton 2365341.

[Blonde Moment]

Alberto Del Rio only fights other Mexicans

Gotta go with what you know.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I choose to believe that the only reason Brock Lesnar doesn't appear on Raw each week is because he walks to work from wherever he last appeared.</font>

Benoit doesn't count

[slik]

That video was really good. Made me all sad and stuff. Damn WWE.

[Cool King]

Benoit doesn't count

What's a Benoit?

[#1-norm-fan]

Wait a minute. They said that 62% of Rumble winners in the past decade have gone on to win the championship at Wrestlemania. How is that even possible? If you're talking about a once-per-year event over a decade, the percentage has to be a multiple of 10%.

I didn't hear it. Are you sure they didn't say 60% though? Because that would actually be accurate.

Lex & Bret both were declared winners in '94.

[#1-norm-fan]

Lex & Bret both were declared winners in '94.

Past decade.

[blak23]

I don't care about anything Rey does anymore

[Cool King]

"Former royal match winners".

Oh Cole.

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm gonna need to see this match about 16 or 17 more times before they force me to care about it without actually writing a story.

[KIRA]

Lawler saying that Rey was in "bad trouble".

Is there such a thing as good trouble then?

[#1-norm-fan]

Is it bad I have no desire to see that Title Match? Pumped for a lot of other stuff but that match. Eh.

I have a desire to see Cena take the title. Heel Orton does not make me care about a WrestleMania WWE World Title match like I should.

[FourFifty]

If there are still unannounced Royal Rumble participants by the time Tipsters comes around, I'm going to call for Tyler Breeze to get the number 2 spot, just for his intro.

[rockman725]

Maybe they misspoke in the package and meant to say 2 decades. Too lazy to do the math to figure out if that would be correct

[Theo Dious]

With Heyman trailing in a car leaning out shouting Brocks praises.

Good God I would love to see that.

[FourFifty]

Maybe CM Punk eliminates a bunch of guys early and uses the time to get on the mic and talk about how he can SAVE you.

[FourFifty]

Jackson Hewitt presents a face getting thrown into the stairs.
One more reason to file your taxes at H&R Block.

[Theo Dious]

Is it bad I have no desire to see that Title Match? Pumped for a lot of other stuff but that match. Eh.

I never tend to care about title matches at the Rumble.

[Cool King]

I miss Ricardo Rodriguez.

[FourFifty]

They need to do that 619 block spot with Cesaro for the Giant Swing.

[blak23]

remember when the 619 was a finisher?

[Lock Jaw]

Every time Del Rio does that kick, JBL has to mention it winning the World Championship.

[Droford]

Maybe they misspoke in the package and meant to say 2 decades. Too lazy to do the math to figure out if that would be correct

6 of the last 10 have won a title at WM..but..Benoit is one and Rey Mysterio won the rumble but lost his spot to Orton at no way out in 06. He still won the title at WM but not using his rumble win (teddy long added him).

[FourFifty]

Judging from that splash I think it's fair to say I had no idea Tamina wore a mask...

[Poit]

Benoit doesn't count

Then it would be 56% or 67%. 62% isn't evenly divisible by 1/9.

I didn't hear it. Are you sure they didn't say 60% though? Because that would actually be accurate.

I'm pretty sure they said 62%.

[KIRA]

Maybe CM Punk eliminates a bunch of guys early and uses the time to get on the mic and talk about how he can SAVE you.

Still one of my top favorite rumbles ever for that reason alone absolutely classic.

[ClockShot]

Dancin' Dave is here again.

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty good math that I didn't really pay attention to or care about. So maybe it wasn't good. I dunno.

[Corndad]

Least for me. He has the look. Has gotten pushes as both Face and Heel and yet I could give 2 flying shits about Alberto Del Rio. I can't be the only one.

[FourFifty]

IS BATISTA GOING TO CUT ANOTHER PROMO!?!??!

[Lock Jaw]

HUG IT OUT

[Lock Jaw]

pock marks all over his back

[FourFifty]

....Do we even have a main event tonight?

[blak23]

that was not a batista bomb

[Lock Jaw]

Ruined his cool back tattoo

[dronepool]

Batista stole my jeans... that are 5 times my size.

[el bobbo]

Batista's body looks like Randy's kind of...

[Corndad]

The hell happened to Batista's Eye brows? lol They disappeared faster then Del Rio's push.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol Batista jeans are too fucking tight to do a BatistaBomb.

[Droford]

Snap your fingers Snap your neck

[KIRA]

yea his arms look much smaller

[DaVe]

Missing the goatee!

[blak23]

batista def lost a great deal of weight

[Innovator]

Lol Batista jeans are too fucking tight to do a BatistaBomb.

BATISTA DOESNT SIT DOWN ON $400 JEANS

[slik]

lol I love Batista.

Best part of RAW so far.

[Lock Jaw]

Right, like the guy in the $600 pair of jeans is going to do a full on Batista Bomb on Alberto Del Rio.... COME ON!

[#1-norm-fan]

....Do we even have a main event tonight?

Orton vs Kofi and the Orton/Cena stuff that follows probably.

[Lock Jaw]

Every match tonight should have ended with Batista coming out and doing a BATISTA BOMB

[Jura]

http://images1.fanpop.com/images/photos/1700000/Batista-some-chick-batista-1792375-639-426.jpg

[#1-norm-fan]

Batista's face looks really weird. It's distracting.

[Droford]

Batista should come out here and stare down Lesnar

[Corndad]

LOL Big Show mocking Heyman

[Innovator]

This is the man that was the main event of Survivor Series can glommed Bryan's heat.

[Lock Jaw]

Remember when Paul Heyman turned on Brock Lesnar and joined with The Big Show to go against Lesnar?

[KIRA]

Batista's face looks really weird. It's distracting. His weird baby head really clahes with the rest of his body its downright eerie.

[FourFifty]

THAT NEVER HAPPENED! #WhatTHEYwantYouToBelieve

[el bobbo]

get em Bork!

[Droford]

Eat
sleep
Show up
Leave

[Lock Jaw]

I hope Brock Lesnar breaks the ring by superplexing Big Show and they have the Royal Rumble in a broken ring.

[el bobbo]

Holy Shit. Big Show just tossed him out of the ring like a chair.

[Lock Jaw]

Just pull out a gun and shoot him

[Droford]

Lesnar! Get the TVs!

[FourFifty]

I stand by what I said a few weeks ago.

Shoulder block, shoulder block, punch, corner chop, throw, throw, choke slam, kick out at 2, basic brawler moves, basic brawler moves, top turnbuckle spot, KO Punch, kick out at 2, sissy slap, submission, get to the ropes, F5, pin.

There, you have the Lesnar/Show match right there.

[DaVe]

Batista should come out here and stare down Lesnar

Based on tonight I think Batista is about half the size of Lesnar now.

[KIRA]

This thing with Big Show will just manifest into sexual tension like it did with Kurt.

[#1-norm-fan]

Alright, at this point Cena probably shouldn't have even made the flight to come to work tonight.

[Droford]

I thought Daniel Bryan was going to be the Tax Slayer

[slik]

"We've never seen Brock Lesnar tossed around like that before"

Yes, we have. Thanks Cole.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Fuckkkkkkk, my DVR botched. Just now joining. What have I missed?

[FourFifty]

So the main event is this...

Randy Orton
Multi Time Champion, Third Gen Wrestler, Someone who cut his teeth with Triple H and Ric Flair grooming him, a hall of famer in the making

VS

Kofi Kingston
Held a few non-major titles, owes Alexander Russev a rubber match on NXT

[blak23]

AJ gets left

[#1-norm-fan]

I wish I could show up to a 3 hour work shift with 15 minutes left like it's no big deal.

[FourFifty]

#BadNewsFaceTurn?

[Lock Jaw]

Time for Naomi to pin AJ in a tag match

[slik]

Batista's face looks really weird. It's distracting.

His cheeks look different, not sure what it is. Maybe he was eating b4 he came out to the ring.

[Corndad]

Well that is interesting... Possible Rumble Spoiler....

Just showed a local ad for Event here in Pittsburgh over weekend with JERICHO and Sheamus as appearing

[#1-norm-fan]

So the main event is this...

Randy Orton
Multi Time Champion, Third Gen Wrestler, Someone who cut his teeth with Triple H and Ric Flair grooming him, a hall of famer in the making

VS

Kofi Kingston

lol. It's an episode of Raw, not a major PPV.

[Lock Jaw]

That part of the feud

[Droford]

HBK never threw cake in Diesels face

[Anybody Thrilla]

Orton v. Kingston is the main? Is it for the title? What did Batista do? What about Daniel Bryan? Shield?

[#1-norm-fan]

Champion in a non-title situation? Uh oh...

[Bad News Gertner]

Wanna stab that fucking douchebag with the sign "Here for Talent, not 4 Batista". Ugly fuck. Probably got an advance on his allowance for his ticket.

[slik]

WWE Creative Humor ‏@wwecreative_ish

Glad we chose to use one of Brock Lesnar's precious few appearance dates for this riveting segment. #RAWTonight

[Corndad]

Been a lack of Usos this week.

[Savio]

Wooo Naomi survives.....love her outfit.

[Droford]

Lol Cole talking over AJ screaming

[slik]

Orton v. Kingston is the main? Is it for the title? What did Batista do? What about Daniel Bryan? Shield?

Non-title I believe. Batista came out, cut a 60 second promo to Orton that was compromised of "I'm back. DEAL WITH IT" and walked off. He came out later and Spinebustered and Batista Bombed Del Rio.

Daniel Bryan claimed he was always infiltrating the Wyatt clan, The Shield defeated Langston/Rhodes.

[#1-norm-fan]

Hey, a black person won a match tonight! The dream lives!

[Lock Jaw]

I swear that all of AJ's "Total Diva" feuds have been the exact same formula.

Total Diva beats Tamina
Total Diva pins AJ in a tag team match
Total Diva pins AJ in one on one non-title match
AJ beats Total Diva at PPV for the title

[Lock Jaw]

Usos! YESSSSS

[Anybody Thrilla]

The Divas division is a complete joke. They really are assholes for that one.

[Krimzon7]

Serious Bizness right now: WHERE THE FUCK IS DOLPH ZIGGLER? How in the fuck can you find time to push Big E, Cawdy, Goldust and the New Age outlaws, but you can't find a way to put Dolph on TV? FFS even Fahn dahn gho and Xavier Rhodes got match time. KOfi is damn near main eventing, and Dolph is somewhere in the twitterverse.

Yes, the Rhodes boys have been amazing and they just fit with the shield and it's always good to see the nao, but goddamn use the active talent you've got.

[FourFifty]

WWE Network- DRINK!

[Lock Jaw]

Ryback gave Dolph Ziggler another serious concussion

[Droford]

Lol this again

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Fuck's sake they just showed this an hour ago.

-edit-

Okay seems like it's a different one.</font>

[Droford]

Its a different one

[Lock Jaw]

Someone should enter the Rumble with stilts. His feet will never touch the floor!

[FourFifty]

One year I want to see someone who is no where near the main event win the rumble. Like, Fandango, R-Truth, Tyler Breeze, or Kofi.

[Krimzon7]

Ryback gave Dolph Ziggler another serious concussion

Goddamn Ryback. He's careless, he's a stupid concussion machine!

OR...

Dolph is the Wes Welker of WWE.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I really thought Santino was gonna pull it off in 2011.

[FourFifty]

This needs to be interrupted with the Wyatt's DERP on the screen.

[Lock Jaw]

I had a dream... that I MADE A TAG TEAM MATCH, PLAYA

[Lock Jaw]

Holla holla

[KIRA]

So MLK day Kofi in the main event(total coincidence I'm sure)...Kofi either wins by dq or clean.

[Droford]

Someone should enter the Rumble with stilts. His feet will never touch the floor!
Zach Gowen could win every year if both feet have to touch the floor is enforced

[Lock Jaw]

Shut the hell up JBL

[FourFifty]

It's good to see WWE celebrate a man who did so much for civil rights....
BUT I'M AFRAID I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS!

I'm not meaning to be being racist but am I the only one that noticed that they let a white man curb stomp a black man on Martin Luther King Day? :-\

[Krimzon7]

Is that USO crip walking? Right after Dr. King's promo?

[#1-norm-fan]

Usos vs Wyatts... in kind of a tag feud between two actual, real, non-thrown together full-time tag teams. Awesome.

[Krimzon7]

It's good to see WWE celebrate a man who did so much for civil rights....

People are doing this with your legacyhttp://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/wblk.com/files/2014/01/Martin-Luther-King-Jr.jpg

[KIRA]

Also I 'm sure Vince celebrates this day by actively not saying "the coloreds" in his private life for at least most of the day.

[#1-norm-fan]

They cut the Wyatt's entrance??? Ridiculous!

[Krimzon7]

It's MLK Day...they let the Uso's Crip walk

[Droford]

I think the crowd died

Zeb Coulter should come out with the Prime Time Players in chains. The new Chain Gang. Everybody would enjoy that.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Luke Harper looks like an absolute lunatic. :heart:

[Corndad]

Crowds back.

[el bobbo]

Is Daniel Bryan not concussed?

[Krimzon7]

Byan's back.

[Lock Jaw]

Would laugh is Cena just doesn't show up

[Anybody Thrilla]

The Usos should've laid Bryan out for turning their theme song off.

[FourFifty]

Is Daniel Bryan not concussed?

The main page said he's been cleared to wrestle.

[Lock Jaw]

Keep thinking FourFifty is Gertner tonight because of the Bo Dallas avatar

[Droford]

Odds that Cena doesn't show cause Orton kidnapped him before the show and dumped him in the river...

[Anybody Thrilla]

Cena's with his dad at the hospital.

[slik]

Cena a no call no show.

Hope Maddox writes him up.

[Corndad]

Isn't part of Cena's character how he "always shows up" , yet the biggest show of the week and he is now about 3 hours late. Guy gotta get a clock or something.

[Lock Jaw]

Cena got lost along the way

[el bobbo]

The main page said he's been cleared to wrestle.

fucking noice!

[#1-norm-fan]

I'd hate how the Wyatts are being booked generically if it weren't for Bray always smiling like a crazy person in the end like he knows something.

Have the Outlaws done anything tonight?


Billy Gunn got beat by CM Punk with Road Dogg on commentary

[Lock Jaw]

Have the Outlaws done anything tonight?

Billy Gunn jobbed to CM Punk

[Anybody Thrilla]

This doesn't exactly feel like Shelton Benjamin/Triple H.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Awesome panel.

Aaaaaand no reaction for Kofi.

[Krimzon7]

who's the highest slotted african american on the card right now? Is it Big E? Mark Henry stays hurt...Jeez


EDIT: It's Roman Reigns

[Lock Jaw]

"The Wildcat" Kofi Kingston is a Main Event player

[FourFifty]

I'm looking forward to the rubber match between Kofi and Rusev.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Billy Gunn jobbed to CM Punk

Well that was a good free agent pick up on my end. :y:

[KIRA]

I HATE Kofis long tights and I don't know why.

[#1-norm-fan]

Can HBK, Flair and Duggan do guest commentary during the rumble match, too? That would be something.

[Lock Jaw]

Kofi Kingston's tights reminds me of a Game Genie

[Frank Drebin]

I just stopped in to tell you all "Good Luck" we're all counting on you.

[#1-norm-fan]

I HATE Kofis long tights and I don't know why.

I prefer them to generic tights that make him more like most of the roster. Anything that makes someone stand out in the slightest.

[Droford]

Kofi wins again, they should make it 3x at the rumble

[Krimzon7]

Ref sounds like Booker T when he's counting

[KIRA]

If only they would bring up when Kofi beat the hell out of Orton in what could've/should've been his intro to main event status.

[Lock Jaw]

Cena: "I made it to the show, boss! Can I have my paycheck now?"

[KIRA]

I prefer them to generic tights that make him more like most of the roster. Anything that makes someone stand out in the slightest.

granted

[Lock Jaw]

Ha ha, Orton no selling the SOS this week

[Krimzon7]

Is that a Ghostbuster's themed T Shirt?

[Droford]

Cena with a new shirt

[el bobbo]

Cena looks like a fucking cartoon.

[Lock Jaw]

Cena took so long to get there because he was getting a new shirt made

[KIRA]

SERIOUSLY CENA a minute till the 10 O'Clock mark REALLY?

[Droford]

Kofi heel turn on Cena for costing him the match

[Lock Jaw]

Kofi so happy that Cena costs him a match against the champion

[Anybody Thrilla]

Kofi wins again, they should make it 3x at the rumble

I don't think so. Orton should have won by DQ there.

Why did Kofi HELP Cena there?

[blak23]

so did randy win?

[el bobbo]

Kofi should be pissed. Cena cost him the match.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. "He definitely senses it"

[Krimzon7]

AND WHY THE FUCK DOES EVERY SUPERSTAR HAVE SOME TOWEL/HANKEY HANGING OUT OF THEIR SHIT?

[Droford]

The shield should pop in right now and beat them up

[#1-norm-fan]

Orton wins! Yay, whites!

[blak23]

Shouldve gave Kofi the win off distraction

[Anybody Thrilla]

Randy stole a car. By getting in on the passenger side. Shut up.

[Lock Jaw]

WHO WAS THE DRIVER?!

[Droford]

Who was driving the silver crossover

[Krimzon7]

Last Week's ending was so much better.

[KIRA]

Kofi pulled the car around!

[FourFifty]

Well, that finish was... not fun.

[Savio]

Aww no drive by

[Corndad]

There has to be more right?

[blak23]

That wasnt done very well

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The build up to the Rumble match itself has been horrendous. They've created no favorites except Batista. Punk is a possibility but it seems pretty clear he'll have a good run only to get screwed by Kane or The Authority.

Barring an unannounced Bryan entrance, Batista is winning.</font>

[Savio]

Boring finish

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hmph. Did Antonio Cesaro do anything tonight?

[KIRA]

Kofi just steps aside and gives it to Cena weird.

[Droford]

It'd be funny if security enforced the "no reentry" rule on the door and didn't let Cena back in

[el bobbo]

the fuck is this finish?

[KIRA]

Kofi should be pissed. Cena cost him the match.


Thats logical you fool why would the WWE want to do that?

[FourFifty]

Well, g'night TPWW.net. Gotta be at work at 4:30am tomorrow. Legit ugh. Only 2 more PPVs to stream until the network comes out.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm gonna give this Friday Night Tykes show a chance.

[FourFifty]

Hmph. Did Antonio Cesaro do anything tonight?

Nope :(

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handkerchief_code

wow. I, but they're....just wow.

[Droford]

That's why Cena has so many different shirt colors..ugh

He's had every color but grey and brown...

[Anybody Thrilla]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handkerchief_code

Yellow = "Watersports"

:lol:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Kofi: Thanks for getting me DQed Cena!

Cena: No problem buddy.

[Lock Jaw]

I like how last week Kofi pinned Orton with the SOS, and then this week he hit it and only got a 2 count and then Orton just popped up and no sold it.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That main event was pretty much ass, right?

[Droford]

It was kind of funny the number of times recently they've done wrestler Y gets distracted by wrestler z on the ramp/announce table (or just music playing) to let wrestler Q get a cheap victory and yet tonight the distraction ended up getting Q dq'ed..

[Anybody Thrilla]

Yeah, they've been overdoing that a bit.

[mike adamle]

Welp that raw sucked compared to last week.

[Emperor Smeat]

Watching a replay right now since I missed almost all of RAW last night.

So the Authority still keeps flip flopping between face and heel. :lol: Batista's first sentence ends up him wanting to invoke the title code.

Shield vs Cody/Goldy/Bigy was great.

:love: Emma. :nono: King thinking her dance is the hokey pokey

So all of a sudden its not ok for the Authority to attack wrestlers even though that's how the group formed.

:lol: Big Show imitating Heyman's voice.

The main event and ending was boring overall.

[XL]

Wait a minute. They said that 62% of Rumble winners in the past decade have gone on to win the championship at Wrestlemania. How is that even possible? If you're talking about a once-per-year event over a decade, the percentage has to be a multiple of 10%.
Nice catch.
I think a great honor would have been to have two of their best woman wrestlers go out there and bust their asses for 10 min
Pfffffffffft.
Same here. That's kind of messed up, but no one wants to see Cena vs. Orton 2365341.
But, but it's a ONE-ON-ONE REGULAR MATCH!!
Maybe they misspoke in the package and meant to say 2 decades. Too lazy to do the math to figure out if that would be correct
Wouldn't that give you multiples of 5% to work with?

Also, I thought Batista looked like Pitbulls when he first came out.

And, Orton should have come out and pushed Cena down the stairs to end the show.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Poit, maybe the percentage has to do with people who have won the event multiple times.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Also, Cena and Batista BOTH won that one time.

[XL]

Only they restarted the match and Batista won.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is that what happened? Its been so long.

I know that Cena's won at least two in that time though, right?

[XL]

It was when Vince came down and pulled both his hamstrings getting into the ring. Sat there, ordered the match to restart in "sudden death" and Batista won. Then he had the will he switch to SmackDown to take on JBL or will he face HHH? angle.

[XL]

And, yeah. Cena won last year and the year he came back as a surprise entrant.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Ah yes. Those were the days.

[XL]

I did it!!

2013: Cena - beat Rock at Mania 29
