The Official Royal Rumble 2016 Thread

[Lock Jaw]

Testing the countdown and buzzer now

[Dark One]

Broncos won and I got a handjob, even if Roman eliminates all 29 other people, I think I'll still consider this day a success.

[Lock Jaw]

King just called me an idiot....

[Simple Fan]

Why is WWE waiting to bring Bayley up? Her character is more WWE-ready than anybody's.

I dont think this is so. Yeah shes ready in ring wise but I feel the main roster would eat her up. Her promos need some work to.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

COREY GRAVES IS THE FIRST POINTER!

[road doggy dogg]

Renee is my favourite thing about anything ever

[Fignuts]

Good start, showing off stephs rockin tits

[Jari]

I dont think this is so. Yeah shes ready in ring wise but I feel the main roster would eat her up. Her promos need some work to.

If they have any idea what they're doing, Sasha Banks wins the title at Wrestlemania, throws the Divas title in the trash the next night on Raw, debuts the WWE Women's Championship and then Bayley's music hits.

[Lock Jaw]

Cool.... damn cable company I work for.... their PPV channel not working.... just black....

[Jari]

"If you plan on paying for the Royal Rumble...you're an idiot"

Lawler telling it like it is

[Jari]

I thought it looked stupid at first, but the marble statue models during the matchup promos look cool.

Dean Ambrose's statue makes him look like a Kardashian.

[johnsmagic]

Is wrestlemania the only place they do a different stage set up now ?

[Lock Jaw]

Ok, rebooted my set top box.... working now....

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

yes to set question. Been like that for awhile when they got the HD screens they can show whatever they want.

[Fignuts]

Sweet. This match will be good

[Fignuts]

lol clt cabana head

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Glad this match is on first. Could mean both guys will pull double duty.</font>

[Jari]

During the kick off show I watched Owens/Steen vs Nakamura from RoH. Pretty hyped for this match now so glad it's opening the show.

[Icame4Hookers]

I don't know why WWE bother with gimmick match's now. since it's aimed at 13 year old fan boys and girls, Last Man standing just shuldn't be called that ahha

[Nark Order]

The loser of this match is winning the Rumble.

[owenbrown]

Cena wins

[Jari]

<font color=goldenrod>Glad this match is on first. Could mean both guys will pull double duty.</font>

Kind of amazed that it appears as though Sami Zayn is not going to appearing tonight to eliminate Owens from the Rumble and build to a match at Wrestlemania.

[Fignuts]

haha groping cole

[Dark One]

Ambrose / Owens heroes of the night by killing Michael Cole. BRING ON MAURO.

[Emperor Smeat]

Was that Cole randomly yelling at Dean to beat up Owens?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Cole is down! Is that why Joey Styles is there? Oh my god!

[Locke]

Oh god they put Byron Saxton at the announce table instead of Jerry Lawler... no...

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Fecal Matter chant #1.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Oh god they put Byron Saxton at the announce table instead of Jerry Lawler... no...

King is lazy AF.

[Lock Jaw]

If you sit on a chair for ten seconds, can you lose a Last Man Standing Match?

[road doggy dogg]

did JBL just say john cena vs umaga was one of the best matches he's ever seen

[Lock Jaw]

Dude in Apollo Crew t-shirt in front row "shocked" by Owens going through the chairs....

[Jari]

Kevin Owens is class

[road doggy dogg]

Dude in Apollo Crew t-shirt in front row "shocked" by Owens going through the chairs....

omg need that in gif... was looking at that guy and laughing

[Lock Jaw]

"I feel like you're wasting your time right now"

[Lock Jaw]

"I like your tattoo, it looks like The Rock's"

[Icame4Hookers]

If you sit on a chair for ten seconds, can you lose a Last Man Standing Match?

You earned the idiotic award,,, No because it's called "last man standing" keyword here "STANDING" he was sitting down.

[Fignuts]

lol at guys taunting owens

[road doggy dogg]

THANKSGIVING'S IN NOVEMBER, ASSHOLE

then guy starts singing Oh Canada lmao

[road doggy dogg]

lol those guys gonna get tossed I bet

[road doggy dogg]

[road doggy dogg]

really boring TPWW crowd 2nite

[Jari]

I reiterate Kevin Owens is brilliant

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Thought he was gonna go Dirty Deeds with the chair wrapped around his head for the win.

[Jari]

Fuck you Russo!

[Icame4Hookers]

What's the point in setting up two tables, and not using them???

logical WWE pg shit.

[Jari]

He really is. Would love him to have a marquee match at Mania

[Fignuts]

Haaaate you

[Emperor Smeat]

Holy Crap

[Fignuts]

Shiiiiiìiiiiiiiiiit

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Blimey</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

These guys don't care about the WWE Title I guess.

[Jari]

Fucking love that move.

[Fignuts]

really boring TPWW crowd 2nite

Prolly a lot of losers watching foosball

I'm here tho

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

AUSTINIZER!

[Jari]

He really is. Would love him to have a marquee match at Mania

Depending on the result here I would have no issue with facing off against Undertaker or Lesnar

[Fignuts]

O my fucking god

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>MOTY candidate</font>

[road doggy dogg]

through the tables baby

[Icame4Hookers]

Fuck this shit. Owens deserved that,

[road doggy dogg]

great match

"car revving" sounds so fucking stupid

[Nark Order]

Owens is winning the rumble. Mark my words.

[Jari]

Hell of a good match. Lets hope that's to the Royal Rumble match what Wyatt/Bryan was to it 2 years ago.

[Lock Jaw]

Woo! Called that end in Tipsters. Good match.

[Fignuts]

Right in front of the dudes yelling at him earlier too

[Emperor Smeat]

Really good match to start the show.

[slik]

great match, great crowd

[owenbrown]

oh hey commercials on a PPV :roll:

[James Steele]

Tremendous start to the programme.

[James Steele]

oh hey commercials on a PPV :roll:

WWE NETWORK SPECIAL

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Have my doubts I'll enjoy any other match tonight (Rumble included) more than I enjoyed that one. But we'll see.</font>

[road doggy dogg]

Tremendous start to the programme.

programme

shut the fuck up

[Locke]

oh hey commercials on a PPV :roll:
Calm down.

[Triple A]

crowd is good

[road doggy dogg]

wonder who those canadians were

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

That match was a lot of fun. Aided by an amped crowd.

[Simple Fan]

pretty good match, didnt want it to end.

[James Steele]

programme

shut the fuck up

No. I'm joining my British friends in sounding amazingly posh.

[road doggy dogg]

rip trombone

[road doggy dogg]

new day baby

[Jari]

Brock Lesnar fan in the front row again. Still wearing the same shirt.

[JT]

Anyone else having issues with WWE Network? We're not getting a feed here.

[Triple A]

shit @ James Steele avatars appearing in this thread

[James Steele]

Mine is working perfectly.

[Jari]

Anyone else having issues with WWE Network? We're not getting a feed here.

Been perfect for me so far, apart from repeating Ambrose's springboard clothesline move.

[road doggy dogg]

new day the best

[Locke]

I didn't know Orlando was such a "hot crowd"

[road doggy dogg]

inferring that he is having sex with trombone

[Fignuts]

Fucking love new day

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Anyone who doesn't love The New Day is a terrible person.</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Francesca 2: Electric Slide Trombone Bugaloo.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

A brotha has.... neeeeeedz

[road doggy dogg]

GOLDEN EYE

[owenbrown]

USE....NO!

[Fignuts]

Usos so boring and lame

[James Steele]

Xavier Woods needs a push.

[Fignuts]

Entrance sucks

[Triple A]

I get the same feeling during the Usos entrance as I do when watching McDonald's commercials, I think

[Jari]

Great start to the show. I'll try and remember that when HHH, Steph and Vince are celebrating Trips winning the Royal Rumble later on.

[slik]

<3 new day

[owenbrown]

Usos are the Jern Cena of the tag division

[Locke]

lol at JBL reacting to Big E smelling his hat

[DAMN iNATOR]

Would be semi-random, but hilarious IMO, if they trolled ISIS about not following up on their Survivor Series threat vis-à-vis

<iframe width="620" height="415" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dGfxoSZ0qjM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Maluco]

Entrance sucks

Takes away any excitement cause it takes so long. Crowd doesn't react to it at all and when the music does start up it is so bland. Genuinely hate their entrance.

[Locke]

What's with the flags on the Usos pants that say "Usos: Day 1"

[Dark One]

New girlfriend is into New Day. Probably a keeper.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What's with the flags on the Usos pants that say "Usos: Day 1"

Day 1 of their reign.

[road doggy dogg]

did he just crotch chop him

what

[Droford]

Anyone else having issues with WWE Network? We're not getting a feed here.

I was getting total divas earlier, couodnt get it to work..figures

[Lock Jaw]

I love The Usos, but even I will admit that they have not been able to recapture their magic since returning....

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Big E is a gem. Super impressed by him.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Finally acknowledging that was Umaga's move but ruined it so quickly again mentioning Rikishi.

[Locke]

Agree w/ Xavier Woods decision not to play trombone when fans chanted for it

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I love The Usos, but even I will admit that they have not been able to recapture their magic since returning....

They haven't had much 2 on 2 tag team matches since coming back with the Lucha Booties hanging around.

[Locke]

Annoyed by the guy with the "The guy behind me can't see" sign

[Shadrick]

Agree w/ Xavier Woods decision not to play trombone when fans chanted for it

yup, he's a heel.

[Lock Jaw]

Ha ha crew members scrambling away from the barricade.......

[Locke]

yup, he's a heel.
Unclear about the tone of your post, Shadrick.

[Emperor Smeat]

Was that a botch tag spot by Big E?


:y: New Day retains

[road doggy dogg]

BIG E BABY

[Lock Jaw]

Potentially 2/2 for Tipsters depending on which Uso I picked to get pinned....

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Big E is a beast. Good match.</font>

[Jari]

Hell of a finish big man

[Triple A]

cool

[Maluco]

Big E is a gem. Super impressed by him.

Totally agree. Think he could be a future world champ. So agile and so much charisma.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

and still DOUBLE U DOUBLE U EEEEEEEEEEE TAGGGG TEAMMMM CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[owenbrown]

not very PG there New Day :nono:

[road doggy dogg]

love new day's celebrations

[Lock Jaw]

I picked Jimmy Uso to be pinned.... was that Jimmy or Jey....

[slik]

good ending to the tag bout

great show so far

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

What I like about New Day is these guys are all smart, educated dudes and they've figured a way to get over with essentially no help along the way. Taken advantage of their opportunity. And they don't mind bombing the odd segment. They'll be back with something great soon worst case scenario.

[road doggy dogg]

create a superstar

what the fuck is that

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

They are a far cry from the Bobby Eatons of the world

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

24 Sting: HHHwinslol

[James Steele]

They need to do a shitload more WWE 24s.

[Lock Jaw]

Like this Rumble theme....

Unclear about the tone of your post, Shadrick.

nothing sarcastic or malevolent bud, just agreeing with you agreeing :y:

[Jari]

They did rehearsals for that HHH entrance at Wrestlemania and not one person pitched up and said "Lads, this looks a bit shit"

[road doggy dogg]

Wyatt Family seeming really cringey here

[Lock Jaw]

CHAMPIONSHIIIII

[Locke]

First time I think I've ever heard Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman, and Luke Harper talk I think.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

like this wyatt promo, but he's a total babyface

[Jari]

For anyone who hasn't already I would recommend listening to Jericho's podcast with Luke Harper. Funny guy and an interesting story of how he made it to the WWE/became part of the Wyatts.

And Jericho barely talks about his fucking band.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They did rehearsals for that HHH entrance at Wrestlemania and not one person pitched up and said "Lads, this looks a bit shit"

<img src="http://filmpjekijken.com/Content/upload/howardsimpsons.jpg" class="mainImage" data-bm="77">

[Lock Jaw]

Del Rio's torso freaks me out.....

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Nice Four Horsemen promo from The Wyatt Family.</font>

[Locke]

You'd think this was Night of Champions with how every single match is a title match

Like, what title is not on the line tonight?

[slik]

I want Kalisto to win the title back. I am hashtag team Kalisto twenty sixteen.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Rusev lol. It's nice to meet youuu!

[Lock Jaw]

Super Shredder Kallisto

[Locke]

Really funny how they put only Mexicans/non-Americans in the US title picture

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

That video package made Kalisto look like a giant pussy

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

but that bump to the outside was nasty.

[Icame4Hookers]

Triple H comes out to It's raining men, and starts getting down with Vince. calling it.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Really funny how they put only Mexicans/non-Americans in the US title picture

Kalisto is from Chicago dumb ass.

[slik]

Brock Lesnar guy cracking me up at ringside.

[Black Widow]

Kalisto is cool but i hate anything with Del Rio.

[road doggy dogg]

really like Kalisto's selling... flops a lot

[road doggy dogg]

digging this match... like the pacing

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>It's been known for a while but these announcers are fucking abysmal.</font>

[Lock Jaw]

Kallisto kicked out of the kick that beat John Cena!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Ziggler Killer Superkick.

[road doggy dogg]

that spinning DDT was one of the smoothest DDT's I've ever seen

[Jari]

Really funny how they put only Mexicans/non-Americans in the US title picture

Donald Trump must be seething

[owenbrown]

way to be talking loud, Del Rio :n:

[road doggy dogg]

Really find Del Rio character boring, but love his wrestling... like this match a lot

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, Del Rio so boring, but so good in the ring....

[Locke]

Kalisto is from Chicago dumb ass.
Why don't you negatively reputate me for it then...

[Jari]

Fuck it at this point I just want to see some good wrestling. And ADR is one of the best at it.

[Dark One]

Kalisto is dead. RIP

[Emperor Smeat]

Never understood why the WWE got rid of Rollins curb stomp if Del Rio does a similar move.

[Locke]

Woe! Woe! Tree of woe!

[Triple A]

I thought Kalisto won the title on some Raw... what happened with that... anyone...

[Jari]

I also enjoy the way he clearly has disregard for other Mexican wrestlers. You're never going to have Finn Balor putting Sheamus in an armbar and calling him a fucking idiot in Gaelic.

[Locke]

Drunk looking guy in front row... great crowd... lol

[Lock Jaw]

Good match, barring some Kallisto botches on his biggest spotlight

[Lock Jaw]

I thought Kalisto won the title on some Raw... what happened with that... anyone...

Lost it on Smackdown a few days later

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LUCHA LUCHA LUCHA LUCHA</font>

[Locke]

Weird

[Lock Jaw]

3/3 Tipsters

[My Final Heaven]

I thought Kalisto won the title on some Raw... what happened with that... anyone...
They hot shotted the title onto Kalisto on Raw, then back to Del Rio the next night on SD

[Emperor Smeat]

Decent match overall. Will laugh if Kalisto gets another 1-day reign with the belt.

[Locke]

It would be funny if these two just trade off having the title a bunch of times.

[slik]

Really find Del Rio character boring, but love his wrestling... like this match a lot


Me too

[slik]

Good match, three for three so far

Glad Kalisto won

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Kalisto blew a couple of spots but he didn't let the match get away from him. Pro performance, not always gonna be your best night at the office.

Crowd was into the finish.

[road doggy dogg]

jesus christ that corey graves guy might have the most punchable face ever

[Jari]

Kalisto kind of Sin Cara'ed that match

[Lock Jaw]

Damn... no good snacks in the house to eat..... I guess I have popcorn.... seems wrong to eat popcorn while watching rassling, though.... I guess better than nothing.... will make it....

[rockman725]

Why the hell are they playing hot potato with this belt? WTF, WCW booking on the US Title.

[Simple Fan]

Ehh, didnt like that match. Dont like Kalisto alk that much either. 50/50 booking continues.

[road doggy dogg]

Heyman baby

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>TPWW poster Heyman's posts are funnier when you read them in Paul Heyman's voice</font>

[My Final Heaven]

US Title match suprises me, legit thought it was going to be a HHH/Booker WM situation of del Rio calling Kalisto a pussy for weeks on end, then totally slaughtering him at the PPV.

[Lock Jaw]

Christian should win the Royal Rumble

to promote his new show

[road doggy dogg]

edge and christian show looks gr8

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I will watch every episode of that Edge & Christian show. Every single one.</font>

[Blonde Moment]

Steph is starting to bloat up

[James Steele]

Kalisto can be a huge star. E&C Show will either be really great or really horrible.

[Lock Jaw]

:heart: Becky Lynch time

[Jari]

There's no other matches besides the Rumble right? So these two should get about 20 minutes.

[road doggy dogg]

Jesus Christ they really need to change that fucking butterfly title belt if they want anyone to ever take any women's wrestler seriously

[Jari]

Tbh Charlotte's terrible so I may just watch something else while this is going on.

[Maluco]

Good video package and build to this woman's match I think.

Maybe back on track with Bella's out of the picture?

[Emperor Smeat]

NXT-like quality vibes with that hype package for Becky vs Charlotte.

[road doggy dogg]

Becky Lynch should come out dressed as Wind Ranger #dota #haha

[road doggy dogg]

Becky Lynch's music really really good

she seems like probably my fav women's wrestler

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I want to jump through the TV and hug Becky Lynch

or have sex with her</font>

[road doggy dogg]

Charlotte looks like she has grayscale

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Seems like they miss some of the suspense/drama of the championship ring announcment for the women because they don't announce weights.

[slik]

Any other matches before the RR match?

[James Steele]

I don't think so.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Flair

[Triple A]

Ric Flair sexual assault

[James Steele]

SPACE MOUNTAIN DISTRACTION

[slik]

sweet

can't wait for the RR

[road doggy dogg]

rofllllll flair

[Locke]

If I ever kiss a girl again I'm going to do that Ric Flair dance afterwards

[James Steele]

LOL @ JBL's defense of Flair

[Dark One]

Only way that's funnier is if Flair went off script.

[Locke]

Only way that's funnier is if Flair went off script.
Did you try that on your girlfriend after it happened

What did she think about Ric Flair Kiss Stealin

[James Steele]

really don't miss the Bella Twins at all. Like, I wouldn't care if I ever see them again.

[road doggy dogg]

Only way that's funnier is if Flair went off script.

wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the case

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>4 enjoyable matches in a row. Now to hope the Rumble doesn't suck.</font>

[Icame4Hookers]

The Divas should be allowed in the royal. it'd make it more interesting.

[road doggy dogg]

man

becky lynch is awesome

[Locke]

The Divas should be allowed in the royal. it'd make it more interesting.
They should be allowed to have any type of match besides singles/tag team/triple threat

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Love Becky</font>

[road doggy dogg]

I'm so tired of the Spear as a move... just retire it

[road doggy dogg]

Becky's suplexes so good

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Ric again

[Locke]

Why didn't WWE advertise that every title is on the line tonight

[road doggy dogg]

that was impressive strength

[Emperor Smeat]

Really good Divas title match.

[Fignuts]

Super dumb ending

[road doggy dogg]

ROFL the jacket

[Emperor Smeat]

Becky's suplexes so good

Yeup they are pretty cool.

Will they push Becky to overcome Charllotte at Mania or another face diva?

:D The BOSS
