[Triple A]

So Jericho didn't get eliminated?

[Emperor Smeat]

Feels like Braun's elimination is going to be really anti-climatic with the way things are progressing so far (or him winning it).

[Droford]

Corbin eliminates Strowman!

[Savio]

Surprised Corbin got the elimination.

[Dark One]

Son of a bitch.

[Nicky Fives]

Of all people Corbin

[Dark One]

Good way to put Corbin over though.

[KIRA]

Corbin....really

[Evil Vito]

I've loved Baron Corbin of late

[Emperor Smeat]

Nevermind, the combo to get rid of Strowman was pretty cool.

[#1-norm-fan]

14 is the cursed number right?

[slik]

Is Jericho hurt?

Great clothesline from Corbin

[road doggy dogg]

this rumble getting ethnic/urban now yeahhh

[Triple A]

So Jericho didn't get eliminated?

help

[Sting Fan]

Corbin bores me but that was a good idea I reckon. Braun is still a monster and it keeps him away from the later stages that will be all about Brock, Goldberg, Orton, Jericho, Taker etc.

[Maluco]

Strowman looked great there though, good stuff so far. Seems well booked up to now

[Locke]

help
I DON'T NOW....

[road doggy dogg]

annoyed @ jericho's absence

why doesn't literally everyone just do this

[Droford]

Dann it miz

[Dark One]

Crazy to think that Miz has been in 10 Rumbles.

[slik]

The big names all in the 2nd half: Goldberg, Taker, Lesnar, Orton, Bray...

[Locke]

Maryse had to show up in San Antonio and get dressed up/makeup just to make that 5 second appearance with The Miz

[Sixx]

YO, ANY SURPRISE ENTRANTS YET???????

[Emperor Smeat]

YO, ANY SURPRISE ENTRANTS YET???????

Just Dillinger unless you meant Legends or some random guy like Shaq which would be no.

[Poit]

YO, ANY SURPRISE ENTRANTS YET???????

Tye Dillinger

[KIRA]

help

We don't know he just vanished I don't recall hear his elimination called either.

[Triple A]

YO, ANY SURPRISE ENTRANTS YET???????

Tye Dillinger #10

Mark Henry I guess

James Ellsworth I guess

[Locke]

Where's Jari the little bitch

[#1-norm-fan]

Not feeling this rumble in the first half.

[Droford]

There's your kofi avoids elimination spot

[Locke]

Last year Rusev hid for a long time

[Triple A]

#16... my number

smh... sheamus

[Emperor Smeat]

Not feeling this rumble in the first half.

Pace slowed down a lot once Strowman appeared and match turned into just a showcase for him. Still hasn't really recovered from it yet in terms of pace.

[Droford]

Jericho gonna win from #2 for me

[Dark One]

Really could use some surprises now, but they're clearly just killing time for the final four to be like Taker, Goldberg, Lesnar, and like Roman Reigns.

[Frank Drebin]

Not feeling this rumble in the first half.

Needs a certain Angle

[road doggy dogg]

sheamus gets a solid "shrug" from me

[road doggy dogg]

hey jericho is alive and around

[road doggy dogg]

feels weird seeing Sheamus with no Alberto of the River immediately near him

[Droford]

Jericho got ko punched and brogued

[Sixx]

daaaamn. how many surprise entrants were there supposed to be? wonder if i can still get it right.

[Locke]

Football stadium for wrestling event isn't that bad for indoor it seems

[KIRA]

Again we miss the chance to have Sheamus and Jack Gallagher cross paths

[road doggy dogg]

Big E very sexy

[Locke]

Funny that Miz is getting embarassed

[Locke]

Chris Jericho come back

[Locke]

Long hair suerfan has a "remember the ascension" sign

[road doggy dogg]

Lana super sexy

[Dark One]

Undashing Rusev gonna take it all.

[Frank Drebin]

Yah the last four are gonna be the big dogs or somethin. Kinda tame stuff but still no idea who wins which is cool.

[road doggy dogg]

"RUSEV IS MY FAVORITE DIVA" or w/e sign... not as funny as you think you are buddy...

[Dark One]

"Remember, these guys used to be buddies. League of Nations."

No, Cole. No one remembers that.

[Droford]

Time for another ring clearing probably Lesnar

[Sixx]

those 2 different games - casual and wrestling - i already lost both.

got the miz and big e. fuck, this was sooo important to me.

[Dark One]

Lots of nerds for Samoa Joe to eliminate.

[Dark One]

Cesaro gonna eliminate Sheamus so they can have a new Best of 47 series.

[road doggy dogg]

all right #19 let's go road doggy dogg

[Ruien]

Star power loaded on the backend but I doubt Taker or Goldberg could last long in the match due to physical condition.

[Locke]

Jericho fuck you

[KIRA]

Rusev drawing power from Cody Rhodes old mask to fuel his rampage

[Evil Vito]

Still have Taker, Goldberg, Lesnar, Woods, and all three Wyatts for 11 spots. Still room for surprises.

[Locke]

Hes literally right on the outside of the ring

did he tear his quad

[Locke]

I think jericho tore his quad

[Droford]

Cesarro dizzy as fuck

[Frank Drebin]

There's actually a limit to Cesaro ' s strength. I'll be damned.

[KIRA]

forgot Dean was still in

[Triple A]

Jericho fuck you

ur fucked......

Seamus has 0 eliminations also though I think and is just gonna get eliminated by Brock Lesnar

[Locke]

Jericho has moved

[RP]

no more surprise entrants btw unless some huge names arent in this thing

[Emperor Smeat]

Way too obvious whoever is next or next 1-2 numbers is going to clear house like Strowman did. WWE does like to do that 2-3 times per Rumble and ring is really full right now.

[RP]

Still got Orton, Cena, Reigns, Lesnar, Undertaker, Goldberg, AJ, KO

[Triple A]

Undertaker's entrance seems like it will take longer than 2 mins

[slik]

8 spots still have Orton, Taker, Lesnar, Goldberg to go + ?, ?, ?, ?

[Frank Drebin]

The fireflies never get old. So damned cool.

[Locke]

When they do the Wyatt entrance it surprised me how many people know that their phones have a flashlight function, feel like most people don't know that

[RP]

anyone notice the Miz is the first person getting destroyed by the new person coming in?

[slik]

Undertaker's entrance seems like it will take longer than 2 mins

I bet he is #30 to get around that

[Droford]

Continuity

[Triple A]

8 spots still have Orton, Taker, Lesnar, Goldberg to go + ?, ?, ?, ?

Dolph Ziggler I think

[KIRA]

BRAY!

[Dark One]

Some more nice continuity with the Wyatt/Woods moment.

[slik]

Apollo Crews sucks

[RP]

Man i hope there are 40 entrants in this thing

[Evil Vito]

Welp, there's one of the surprise spots wasted.

[Emperor Smeat]

Undertaker's entrance seems like it will take longer than 2 mins

He's probably going to get #28 or #29 and whoever is left for entrants will just run around him to get into the ring for their numbers.

[Droford]

Lol at Jericho peeking from the floor

[Dark One]

Apollo Crews?

They couldn't get Curt Hawkins?

[Triple A]

Jericho sneaking around

[KIRA]

What am I watching more continuity from last year actually mentioned

[Locke]

JERICHO HELL YES DOUBLE ELIMINATION

[Savio]

No Wyatt theme for Randy

[Locke]

Why did jericho spent so long outside though

[Sixx]

wait, aj is supposed to be in this?

even after wrestling cena before?

[road doggy dogg]

cesaro had kind of eliminations there right

[Locke]

kane

kane

kane

[Triple A]

JERICHO HELL YES DOUBLE ELIMINATION

Wonder how mine is counted... co-eliminated all 3 members of New Day

[A.J.K]

Getting discouraged about any surprises this year.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Jericho actually did something meaningful during the Rumble.

[RP]

I had Jericho as my lasting longest on Tipsters " Nailed it ! "

[road doggy dogg]

\_0__/

[KIRA]

He's probably going to get #28 or #29 and whoever is left for entrants will just run around him to get into the ring for their numbers.

It would be hilarious if taker as an active participant isn't a thing until his entrance is done

[road doggy dogg]

RKOS OUTTA NOWHERE

[#1-norm-fan]

Shamsaro EXPLODES at WrestleMania (Pre-show)

[Triple A]

wait, aj is supposed to be in this?

even after wrestling cena before?

Nah

[slik]

Randy Orton super-over

[slik]

Evil Heel Ziggler

[Dark One]

Give me Joe or Angle or give me death or something.

[road doggy dogg]

love randy orton's powerslam

[Theo Dious]

Umm we WILL see Rollins right

[A.J.K]

Give me Joe or Angle or give me death or something.

i have a bad feeling we will be let down this year.

[Frank Drebin]

Give me Joe or Angle or give me death or something.

:yes:

[KIRA]

The lead singer of Poison

I mean DOLPH

[Frank Drebin]

Doesn't Harper have his own music?

[slik]

no pop for Harper

5 spots left...Taker, Goldberg, Lesnar, ?, ?

[Dark One]

Poor Harper. Deafening silence because the crowd is waiting for something to fucking happen.

[#1-norm-fan]

Oh yeah. Rollins has to come out to do something. Probably attacks someone and takes their spot and then gets eliminated by Triple H.

[Dark One]

Good start to the rumble, but the last like 20-30 minutes have just been dudes filling space.

[Evil Vito]

Okay, I just popped huge for the lariat to Wyatt.

[Frank Drebin]

Lots of fodder for Brock/Taker/Lesnar...../Angle/Joe

[Dark One]

Singles Harper is my jam.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol Damn. They really loaded this rumble with the last 5. Jesus.

[Sixx]

why the fuck is rusev wearing make up?

[Emperor Smeat]

Can understand Taker and Goldberg not showing up early for health/stamina reasons but kind of deflating Brock is likely getting saved for last as well. Going to make the inevitable showdown between the three a lot more forced than it should be.

[KIRA]

Really hate Harper having newer jeans.

[Emperor Smeat]

Harper snapping against the Family was pretty cool.

[Crimson]

Finally, Brock. SAve this lackluster rumble

[slik]

The Beast is ready to Feast

[Locke]

Kram BERST into royal rumble

Hes entrant 7

GERGE: You can be entrant soda

[Dark One]

Finally, some stuff's gonna happen.

[RP]

My Jake The Snake surprise is still in play!

[Dark One]

Great continuity from Wrestlemania when Ambrose jobbed hard to Lesnar.

God damnit.

[road doggy dogg]

HERE COMES THE PAIN

[Frank Drebin]

Too bad they didn't set off Brock ' s corner pyro. Would have eliminated like 6 dudes.

[KIRA]

Erik Rowan need to be the Wyatts voice of reason

BROCK!!

[slik]

Taker, Goldberg, ?

[Dark One]

Ugh.

[Triple A]

only 1 possible surprise spot left...

[Frank Drebin]

Ffs....not enzo. Jesus.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Enzo vs Lesnar

#BeatUpEnzoDay

[Evil Vito]

Welp, Enzo. Last mystery spot has to be somebody big. Joe most likely but Angle or HBK would be lovely.

[Nicky Fives]

So Goldy, Taker & HHH final 3?

[road doggy dogg]

very demoralizing, bad "surprise" pick

[Sixx]

enzo amore dead

[KIRA]

LOL ENZO IS GONNA DIE

[Maluco]

Pleaseeeee be Angle

[Nicky Fives]

Angle/Lesnar face-off would be epic, not going to lie....

[slik]

Business has picked up

[Locke]

Goldberg pyro hell ya

[Dark One]

Welp, Enzo. Last mystery spot has to be somebody big. Joe most likely but Angle or HBK would be lovely.

It's going to be one of the Vaudevillains.

[Evil Vito]

AHAHAHAHAHA

[slik]

YESSSSSSSSSSS lol

[Sixx]

that immediate spear was way too fucking predictable

[Droford]

Way to make Lesnar look like a bitch

[RP]

I dont get it.

[Theo Dious]

Wow I can't beleive they went with that again.

[KIRA]

Everybody selling those suplexes like they got shot

[road doggy dogg]

suck it Lesnar hahaha

[Dark One]

I really hope Raw on Monday is just Brock Lesnar murdering people, like when he F5ed Cole out of his shoes.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Lesnar made to look like a fool again against Goldberg.

[Frank Drebin]

Cool. I liked that. Keep Goldberg with the upper hand over Brock.

[Dark One]

Lesnar going to wear a shirt and steel plate at Mania, Bret Hart style.

[Jazzy Foot]

Has Lesnar pissed off McMahon or something?

[Locke]

Long ass time between entrants feels like

[#1-norm-fan]

lol Squashed again

[RP]

so i dont even want to see Brock ever again. He's so weak. He's Ellsworth

[Triple A]

hmm

[slik]

Undertaker!

Who will be #30, Angle? Balor? Jerry Lawler?

[Crimson]

So who's 30

[Dark One]

#30 is going to be Simon Gotch.

[Nicky Fives]

No Kane in the Rumble is a bit shocking....

[RP]

Dont even bother putting Brock in WM. No one cares.

[Frank Drebin]

With taker being 29....30 might be cool.....cmon.....cmon...

[Dark One]

Would be cool for 30 to be Joe/Nakamura/Balor.

But it's going to be Hornswoggle.

[Maluco]

30 has to be Angle....Has to be

Place will come unglued.

Surely can't be some slub like Kane after Taker, Goldberg lesnar

[Sixx]

nah, but seriously. you could see that coming miles away. that goldberg is gonna trash brock again.

pffff

[Dark One]

No Kane in the Rumble is a bit shocking....

Oh. Wait. There's #30.

[Droford]

Lol at Goldberg's son of a bitch

[Poit]

I really hope Raw on Monday is just Brock Lesnar murdering people, like when he F5ed Cole out of his shoes.

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

[#1-norm-fan]

Lesnar coming back to eliminate Goldberg?

[RP]

30 is clearly Reigns

[Emperor Smeat]

Well that gets around the issue of Taker's slow ass entrance walk.

[Locke]

They aint even trying to sell these eliminations

[#1-norm-fan]

Hmm. They wouldn't go with just some nobody at 30, would they?

[Nicky Fives]

well then....

[Savio]

Ugh

[#1-norm-fan]

lol Didn't even let Taker make the walk.

[Jazzy Foot]

OK Undertaker is gonna win this now.

[Sting Fan]

Part of me wants to see Taker vs. GOldberg at Mania... I know it will be a trainwreck match but ya know.

Wait wtf... Wasnt Taker #30

As per the sign earlier when it Reigns it Bores...

[A.J.K]

roman stains

[Locke]

Go go jericho

[Droford]

Hahahaha

[Triple A]

lol.......

[Evil Vito]

BOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Crimson]

Ugh don't tell me Roman is going to win this

[RP]

Worst 30 ever

[Dark One]

Oh for fuck's sake.

[slik]

NO

JUST NO

STOP

NO

NO TO ROMAN

[Maluco]

Fuck sake, can't believe this

[Nicky Fives]

this isn't going to end well....

[Frank Drebin]

Christ. Worst. Case. Scenario.

[Dark One]

What a fucking joke.

[Locke]

Seth rollins about to show up

[Dark One]

Would have preferred Aiden English to this.

[GD]

Fucking Roman

[slik]

Oh god, the Undertaker/Roman rumors are true for WrestleMania

[Ruien]

Fuck. Bought this shit to see Angle. Rumble has been good regardless though.

[Crimson]

Welcome to the 2015 Rumble!

[Maluco]

Jericho wins, Reigns/Taker at Mania

[Droford]

Takers fat

[KIRA]

Goddamn it

[Sixx]

what a disappointing 30...

[Dark One]

Who in creative thought Roman Reigns as #30 was a good fucking idea?

[road doggy dogg]

i'm behind on comments but will just say

"lol reigns"

[Evil Vito]

Welp, I guess Strowman/Reigns is gonna be at the February PPV and Taker/Reigns is still on after all.

[erickman]

did somoa joe go back to tna

[#1-norm-fan]

lol What??? Reigns loses the title match and gets in the rumble? Ridiculous.

[Locke]

Reigns is wearing body armor for the Rumble

[Emperor Smeat]

Way to bring down the Rumble with Reigns taking the #30 spot. Might be even more deflating than the time Rey Mysterio came out at $30 instead of Bryan.

[Triple A]

what are they chanting, "this is bullshit"?

[Frank Drebin]

No surprises. Dillinger at 10 was destiny. Nothing else counts as far as I'm concerned. Bullshit.

[Destor]

Taker looks like shit. Keeps tripping over his own feet.

[Dark One]

Is the crowd chanting "This is bullshit?"

Tremendous.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: crowd chanting "this is bullshit"

Reigns is dead as a top star regardless of what the WWE thinks or wants.

[RP]

One of the worst Rumbles ever.

[Sting Fan]

At this point I think Reings would no sell a howitzer to the chest.

[Droford]

Lol

[Triple A]

lol feels like they are trolling every1...

[Maluco]

Nobody else who wrestled on main show gets in, how did this dick head get a chance?

And they wonder why people hate him..

[Dark One]

The "Least Predictable Rumble Ever" turns out to have the fewest surprises of any RUmble ever.

[slik]

bullshit chant lol

[slik]

Orton is winning I bet

[Triple A]

Orton gonna win

[Sixx]

now i want bray to win

[Locke]

What kind of message is it sending to the kids that the Undertaker is taking his elimination by Roman Reigns personally, guy is just trying to win the Royal Rumble match.

[Ruien]

LET'S GO WYATT!!!!!!

[Droford]

Dann it

[Locke]

Fucking gay ass super man puntch

[#1-norm-fan]

Reigns vs Taker at WrestleMania then? Just gonna forget about Braun?

[KIRA]

OH WTF

[Frank Drebin]

Bray gonna be the guy everyone gets behind because they don't want the other guy to win only to see the other guy win.

[Destor]

What kind of message is it sending to the kids that the Undertaker is taking his elimination by Roman Reigns personally, guy is just trying to win the Royal Rumble match.

It sends the message that you should take your job seriously and second place doesnt deserve to be celebrated

[Poit]

"It's not often you see the Big Dog outnumbered and hunted."

Other than every week on Raw.

[Droford]

Wyatts vs the Shield

[Dark One]

Rumble was floating around four stars at the start, dropped to three stars with a very bland middle, and has cratered to two stars with Reigns being surprise #30.

[Crimson]

I've always liked that DDT from the 2nd rope

[GD]

Fuck this bullshit

[Evil Vito]

Well, the betting odds favorite is still in. Getting to be the point where odds the day of the event essentially are spoilers.

[Sting Fan]

Well done WWE, actualy got a response out of me to see Reigns lose.

[RP]

WOEST EVER
