The 2 hour kickoff show to the 4 hour show begins in less than half an hour!!!

[slik]

Not sure I will be able to handle 6 hours but will prob tune in for the last hour of the Kickoff Show at some point.

PPV itself should be really good.

[RP]

Hoping The Miz wins, probably going to be Goldberg.

[slik]

A lot of sign-pointing begins tonight

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Yours truly will be right here at TPWW during the Royal Rumble.

Please wait until after the show ends for autographs.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Wait. This is starting now and is on for 6 hours? I thought I still had like 3 more hours until it started. Weird.

[slik]

This is just the 2 hour pre-show....has like 3 matches on it. The real show starts in under 2 hours.

I'm watching Bobby Roode vs Shinsuke Nakamura because they both have sweet entrances.

wait, what the fuck, why are both brock and goldberg in the royal rumble?

thought they were supposed to fight eachother.

[Mercenary]

Ugh Bayley

Wrestlemania

[Sixx]

RP, how does HBK seem obvious?

i thought he was ted nugent now.

[Droford]

Funny they don't even qualify Charlotte being undefeated on PPV as being in title matches because I saw Bayley best Charlotte in a tag match at Battleground...

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

WWE should just cut down the pre-show after the fact to just the matches.

[RP]

He looks crosseyed for sure.

[Droford]

Every 2 minutes

Lets see if that holds

[Droford]

Undertaker will take the entire 2 minutes to get down that ramp..who ever is next might pass him

[Mercenary]

Willl JBL show us his porn interests again?

[Mercenary]

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvve

I got 71 pts on my post in Squared circle about the Miz coming out to Flight of the Valkyries so I really really want that to happen

1...Don't like Mickie James' attire
2...Why do they put their own adverts in the middle of their own matches on their own network!?
3...Naomi was pretty impressive there

*DING-DING-DING*

[A.J.K]

I got 71 pts on my post in Squared circle about the Miz coming out to Flight of the Valkyries so I really really want that to happen

if only he came out to the Final countdown, with a dragon cape, to get under bryan's skin. Only people who watched his Ring of Honor work will get this.

[Ruien]

Always tell myself I am fine sith Reigns being the top guy but then I hear him talk I want him gone. Like, not goNE to to the mid card but gone from.the WWE. Arg. Kevin Owens is such a mid card act too.

[RP]

I got 71 pts on my post in Squared circle about the Miz coming out to Flight of the Valkyries so I really really want that to happen

you got 71 points?

Hell ya. Ppv has finally started.

Fuck you STD. I know it started an hour ago.

Fuck you poit wait.. i can get in this ok? no fuck you.

Fuck you poit wait.. i can get in this ok? no fuck you.

You can still submit Tipsters picks. You'll just get no points for the preshow matches.

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE using 3 teams for the Royal Rumble ppv with the RAW team doing most of the show.

The plan for tonight is that the Raw announcers will do most of the show. The Smackdown announcers will do the Smackdown matches, and the 205 Live announcers will do the Neville vs. Rich Swann title match. Jerry Lawler will also be involved, doing the main event. Both Lawler and Shawn Michaels will be doing the preshow.

That ramp seems excessively long

Not watching right now but glad to hear that Gallows and Anderson win the tag titles. Actually watching ROH right now Matt Scurl vs Juice Robinson.

making a pizza, ready 4 the rumble

the demon nia jax taking on the boss

[erickman]

ads in the middle of matches ppvs are dead

[Dark One]

That ramp seems excessively long

Probably a logistics thing with the size of the dome.

[Jazzy Foot]

Nia and Sasha could have had an excellent tits match: first person to nipple cripple and make their opponent scream wins.

[Jazzy Foot]

Nia is quite fat though.

[Lock Jaw]

Noticed "Rowan" in the graphics of all the names scrolling by in the graphics.......

[Dark One]

They're never going to convince me that Nia Jax is "strong" and not just "round."

[Emperor Smeat]

They're never going to convince me that Nia Jax is "strong" and not just "round."

What if they tried to convince you that she's not like "most girls"?

[Droford]

Noticed "Rowan" in the graphics of all the names scrolling by in the graphics.......

Jack Gallagher is in there too

Jack Swagger
Konnor

[Lock Jaw]

I could still buy "round" dominating/ragdolling Sasha Banks, though.......

Sasha dead

[Emperor Smeat]

The Rollins stuff from last night's Takeover was pretty cool.

[Droford]

Lol at the clips of Styles from WCW

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Sasha vs Nia was not very good.

[slik]

People wonder why WWE goes to TX so much but honestly 80,000 fans for WM and 60,000 fans for the Royal Rumble should answer that.

[Mercenary]

That ramp seems excessively long

Four more guys will enter the rumble before Taker steps foot in the ring

HBK ENTRANCE IN TEXAS WOOOO!

[Mercenary]

HBK is 1 in the rumble!!!!!!!! Oh wait.....

[Locke]

Whoa, they gave HBK new next-gen pyro... cool...

[RP]

Whats the first match of the RR?

[Locke]

Hoping for some good anti-Trump signs but

[Poit]

Sounds pretty good for WWE Network's subscriber numbers if there were so many people trying to sign up tonight it brought down the subscription page.

Sucks for the production team though.

[rockman725]

You know, when they were doing the whole "beat up John Cena" thing over the summer, they really missed out on a great opportunity. Styles should have declared a "Beat Up John Cena Day" and they could have filmed Cena getting "beat up" by some rando at different points in the day and used it as video segments. Imagine seeing Cena get beat up while getting the morning paper, coffee at Starbucks, lunch at a Pavilion, at the grocery store or laundromat. It would have been great.

[Locke]

They sent HBK out there to gauge audience interest in who should win.

[DrA]

Anyone want to sign up for the Royal Rumble game, there are some good ass numbers still available. You don't have to do anything.

[Droford]

Renee should have picked Ambrose

[Lock Jaw]

For tonight or the whole year? Cause my July - December sabbaticals make that very easy for you.

[Locke]

Jari get iPad

[Ruien]

Hope Reigns and Owen close out the show so I don't need to watch the match.

[Locke]

Why does it say "Remember the Rumble"?

[Jari]

I really hope someone at WWE HQ read my idea on another forum and the Miz comes out to Daniel Bryan's theme music.

[Jari]

HEEL HEAT through the muthafucking roof right there.

[slik]

Cool pyro!

[Droford]

Bayley met with Jimmy Hart

[Locke]

Fuck Jari is outposting me.

[Ruien]

Will Taker get into the ring before the next guy comes out?

[Emperor Smeat]

Bit surprised the Women's title match is kicking off the show.

[Volare]

Charlotte got on my Tar Heel's colors. :)

[Locke]

How many of y'all think Bailey hot

[Locke]

Bailey look like the Napoleon Dynamite chick

[RP]

This is obviously ending with Nia Jax interfering and double DQ No contest

[Jari]

Will Taker get into the ring before the next guy comes out?

The length of the ramp almost guarantees a Taker #30 shout

[Jari]

Who do we all think is winning the Rumble? Can't look beyond Taker myself.

[slik]

I hope Charlotte wins.

[Savio]

It was up for grabs last year Cole.

[#1-norm-fan]

Michael Cole can't even remember shit that happened a year ago.

[Maluco]

I hope Charlotte wins.

Me too, think she is a great champ, just looks like a champion

Charlotte makes everyone else in her division look like shit. Bailey shouldn't be in the same ring with Charlotte.

How many of y'all think Bailey hotEverything besides
her face.

[Mercenary]

blood!

[GD]

Charlotte paying homage to her father with color.

[slik]

How did Charlotte get busted open?

[Locke]

Would have been cool if Bailey won on the moonsault counter instead of her winning on an inevitable finisher because you're only allowed to win with a finisher

[GD]

lol at the fan mouthing "fuck" :lol:

[Jari]

Charlotte makes everyone else in her division look like shit. Bailey shouldn't be in the same ring with Charlotte.

Still makes everything look so laboured and phony. See that reaching for turnbuckle when inches away from the ropes as an example.

[Volare]

Good finish.

[GD]

How did Charlotte get busted open?

She's a Flair, goddammit! Does she need a reason?

[#1-norm-fan]

So many dudes wrestle shirtless. Why not the women? #equality

[Ruien]

Why did Lana quit wrestling? She did the match at Mania and then called it a day.

[Dark One]

Kurt Angle should have won that match.

[Maluco]

The Royal Rumble event is my favorite of the year. Hopefully, they do justice to it.

I genuinely feel like they can't mess it up, based on star power alone. I feel like it has to be good. The actual rumble is most stacked since attitude era.

Cena and Styles is also a guaranteed quality match.

We are definitely getting some sort of surprise too because there is a lot of time for few matches

[Lock Jaw]

Bunch of botches in that match, but overall enjoyed it

[Frank Drebin]

Nice finish. Hope Charlotte holds onto the title thru WM.

[GD]

Charlotte is amazing.

[#1-norm-fan]

Your username is a lie!!!

Please change your name at once!

Name says WWF, not WWE. #STDpost

[Volare]

[Ruien]

Still makes everything look so laboured and phony. See that reaching for turnbuckle when inches away from the ropes as an example.

Ya but like half of the things Bailey did in that match looked aweful.

[Lock Jaw]

Think Bayley goes on a path to redemption and beats Nia Jax one on one and then fights Charlotte again at Mania and wins......

[Droford]

Gotta be changing the ring for cruisers

[Dark One]

So when does Asuka come out and murder Charlotte?

[Emperor Smeat]

How did Charlotte get busted open?

The spirit of Ric suddenly possessed her. :shifty:

Think she got kneed in the face from the moonsault counter.

[Frank Drebin]

Bunch of botches in that match, but overall enjoyed it

Was waiting for someone else to say it. Thought it was my mind.

[#1-norm-fan]

Forgot Charlotte has a pinfall finisher, too. Fucked me in tipsters.

[Frank Drebin]

So when does Asuka come out and murder Charlotte?

Raw after WM

[Volare]

Heyyyy the river walk, not too far away from Lackland AFB...good food, got fucked up and kicked out of Coyote Ugly's.

[Dark One]

Think Bayley goes on a path to redemption and beats Nia Jax one on one and then fights Charlotte again at Mania and wins......

Uuuuuuggggghhhhhhhh

[Lock Jaw]

Why they keep calling this WWE Champions app "new"..... been out for a long time it seems......

[Volare]

Universal title already....fuck.

[Frank Drebin]

I want Bayley to succeed and all but I'm not a fan.

[Dark One]

I wish they would lock this match in a shark cage and forget it up there.

[Frank Drebin]

Love the Rumble match so much, no matter what else is on the card I always find myself thinking "just get to the Rumble already"

[Droford]

This just gives Reigns time to recover for the Rumble

[Emperor Smeat]

Would be funny if they just kept Jericho in the cage for the rest of the show and only lower it whenever his number for the Rumble pops up.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns seem terrible. Jericho looks to be a shadow of who he used to be. Seems to have a really annoying voice now.

[GD]

I genuinely feel like they can't mess it up, based on star power alone. I feel like it has to be good. The actual rumble is most stacked since attitude era.

Cena and Styles is also a guaranteed quality match.

We are definitely getting some sort of surprise too because there is a lot of time for few matches

The only thing that can come close to making me sad tonight is Roman Reigns winning his first Universal Championship.

[GD]

That would be the greatest thing ever.

[Jazzy Foot]

Charlotte Flair has a great body and flexibility, whoooo!

[Droford]

There should be another Canadian best friend for KO

The WWE royal rumble 2017

[A.J.K]

There should be another Canadian best friend for KO

Christian or Lance Storm?

[Frank Drebin]

Ugh..."the guy" Ideal create a character name wasn't voice recorded so it's just a generic "the guy"

[#1-norm-fan]

Love the Rumble match so much, no matter what else is on the card I always find myself thinking "just get to the Rumble already"

Yeah. Mentioned in another thread how that year they did Rock vs Punk AFTER the rumble was shitty because the rumble match felt like it should have ended it. Anything after is just a letdown.

[Frank Drebin]

So does Emmalina debut tonight?

[slik]

Why is the Champ out before the Challenger

[Frank Drebin]

Roman gonna get booed for the rest of his career even if he solves world hunger.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

They should take out that quiet bit of Roman Reigns music. Makes the boos really clear.

[Dark One]

No DQ?

If KO's retaining, it's because Jericho drops a chain or a pipe or something from the shark cage, so Owens can job to Goldberg in a month.

[Droford]

They needed the WM 3 carts for entrance

[Poit]

Why is the Champ out before the Challenger

So his best friend can be locked in a cage during the challenger's entrance.

At least, that would make sense. Jericho isn't in the cage yet.

[Frank Drebin]

Why is the Champ out before the Challenger

Always hated that even though it really doesn't matter. Always liked knowing the champ is last to come out.

[Jari]

So does Emmalina debut tonight?

Does Noid still post here? He was weirdly obsessed with her from what I recall.

[Frank Drebin]

This is taking forever due to the long ass ramp. Taker is gonna take 45 mins. I hope he's 1 or 2.

[Jari]

No DQ?

If KO's retaining, it's because Jericho drops a chain or a pipe or something from the shark cage, so Owens can job to Goldberg in a month.

It's bad enough they're doing this gimmick just a couple of months after doing the same with Paul Ellering but they don't need to copy the finish as well.

[Droford]

Calling now

Jericho fakes being sick to get an to lower the cage in the middle of the match they stretcher him out and then he comes back

[A.J.K]

No DQ?

If KO's retaining, it's because Jericho drops a chain or a pipe or something from the shark cage, so Owens can job to Goldberg in a month.

or in a Russo Swerve, Jericho has a rope with a hook and bolt cutters and mcgyver's his way out of the cage.

[Frank Drebin]

Those floor seats look like the worst. Imagine being 30 rows back with no incline to be able to see over the head of the guy 20 rows in front of you. Why would you do that to yourself?

[#1-norm-fan]

Beat him up before going in the cage. Good idea.

[Frank Drebin]

The 8 year old in me wants him to get diarrhea and shit all over Roman.

That may be the only funny line Byron Saxton has had in his entire career.

Hate Reigns punches

[Locke]

Roman Reigns wearing body armor for the match tonight.

[Droford]

Will you settle for throwing up on him?

[Triple A]

whole match just going to be punches and kicks by reigns

god

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeah never liked it when that happens. Makes it imply the champ isn't special or the challenger being bigger than the belt for status.

[Frank Drebin]

They're just gonna keep looking up at Y2J every 30 seconds to make sure he's still up there aren't they?

[Lock Jaw]

Roman Reigns vs Kevin Owens? What is this, Monday Night RAW?

[#1-norm-fan]

Would have been funny if they just both beat the shit out of Reigns, Jericho got in the cage, it raised like 5 feet before Owens got the pin and the cage immediately lowered back down. LOL WASTE OF A CAGE.

[DrA]

I'd be nervous as hell of that shark cage falling on me if I was wrestling.

[Triple A]

huge urge to fast forward this match but can't... feel helpless

Has your name always been Locke? I am not at all recalling any kind of post count rivalry?

[Locke]

Is that site nodq.com still around, that was a big news site back in the day, I think I remember getting PPV screenshots from there.

[Droford]

He should have offered Roman a Coke

[Frank Drebin]

Will you settle for throwing up on him?

Hmmm...depends what he had for dinner but it's a likely yes.

whole match just going to be punches and kicks by reigns

god

Don't forget Cole screaming "SUPERMAN PUNCH" every time Roman does one. At least 15 of those upcoming.

[Droford]

Erector set?

[slik]

Jericho spotted reading "Escaping Shark Cages for Dummies" in his cage.

[Maluco]

Lol reigns fake reaction to "seeing" the chairs...terrible

[slik]

Tonight presents the opportunity for WWE to turn the crowd mic off twice in Texas within a year if Roman wins the belt.

[Frank Drebin]

YES!! I SEE SWAGGER'S NAME IN THE RUMBLE LOGO ON THE APRON. THIS IS AWESOME

[#1-norm-fan]

Would be cool if there was a camera in the cage on Jericho's face.

... and that was the only camera used the entire match.

[Locke]

"Lariato" tweet incoming

[Jari]

You know it's been a year and I still can't believe they let Reigns walk out of a Royal Rumble match, whilst the dastardly heel Owens dragged his body to the ring.

[Poit]

No DQ?

If KO's retaining, it's because Jericho drops a chain or a pipe or something from the shark cage, so Owens can job to Goldberg in a month.

Is Jericho wearing the US Championship? That would be a fitting weapon.

not really though........ very dangerous

What is with this game show policy of showing the crowd immediately after a big moment?

Jericho should do DDP Yoga in the cage

Brass knucks

Wonder what JBL is looking at on another browser window when he gets bored tonight.
