Despite last year’s Rumble being absolute dog shit (Hi Shane 👋 ), the Rumble is always gonna get me so motherfucking pumped

Rumble is something I normally tune in for, dont know if I will this year.
Can you even order it as a standalone show now?

Going to a friend's place to watch the Rumble... but he is working so we'll be starting on a bit of a delay....
I always love the Rumble
The most consistently entertaining WWE ppv IMO
Re-watched the 2020 Rumble Match last night as a warm up. Excellent match.
Evil Vito
01-28-2023, 10:22 AM
A little pumped sounds right. I don’t watch more than choice clips here and there and so I have little to no investment in the stories.
But it’s the goddamn Rumble. It’s hard to screw those up (lol last year) but even a bad Rumble should usually have a few moments.
#1-norm-fan
01-28-2023, 01:16 PM
Pretty fucking pumped to read you guys talk about it and possibly seek it out if it sounds enjoyable.
#1-norm-fan
01-28-2023, 01:18 PM
I’m also in the “Fuck WWE sucking. It’s the Rumble!” boat but I watched a couple years ago and it really did put a damper on it not having a rooting interest at all. Only real draw for me outside a love for the match itself is the surprise entrants and I feel like any cool surprise entrants have been done to death or are dead.

Some people are speculating that the Rumble poster (seen above) is a hint at something ELECTRIFYING happening tonight
I’m waiting for the other half of the poster to be revealed to see who everyone is facing off against…

Rumble is something I normally tune in for, dont know if I will this year.
Can you even order it as a standalone show now?
Yes. Good ol’ Comcrap is still at it, hoping people will order it through them for $44.99 (+taxes), instead of realizing that as a customer of them they can watch it on Peacock for free. :lol::rofl:
DAMN iNATOR
01-28-2023, 02:56 PM
Also, normally I’d be in the so f’n pumped category, but something about this year’s card just feels... underwhelming to me. Don’t know if it’s the lack of current stars announced for the 2 Rumbles, or that Roman/K.O. will predictably end with Roman somehow retaining or what. I will probably tune in out of sheer boredom however.

Yeah they are the same company lol
Mr. Nerfect
01-28-2023, 03:39 PM
The Rumble has been greatly diminished. Can’t say I’ve been pumped for a Rumble in years. Doesn’t help that they do the Women’s Rumble on the same show. 2020 was a great match though.
Mr. Nerfect
01-28-2023, 03:44 PM
This has to be the third Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens match at the Rumble, right?
#1-norm-fan
01-28-2023, 03:58 PM
Yeah they are the same company lol
lol I know they’re both owned by NBC but if you’re a Comcast customer, you get Peacock, and thus WWE events for free? That seems odd…
Yeah. 3rd time for the title too. Pretty much a let’s get this out of the way match save for any Sami drama but I think that comes in the Rumble itself. I think HHH will deliver on a good Rumble Match. The rest I can probably pass on.

01-28-2023, 05:35 PM
yeah i agree screw ticket master they made every live show go up, still floor seats for wwe's 2nd biggest show
My Royal Rumble predictions:
Rhea
Cody (or Sami)
Roman
Bianca
Bray Wyatt
Match order per Fightful:
Men's Rumble
Bray vs LA Knight
Bianca vs Alexa
Women's Rumble
Roman vs KO
Lock Jaw
01-28-2023, 07:47 PM
Should swap the order of the men's and women's Rumble. Maybe even put the men's Rumble on after Roman cause come on, ain't nobody caring about that match more or believing that Owens is gonna win.....
#1-norm-fan
01-28-2023, 07:50 PM
Lol they gotta fuck up the ring somehow, right? That’s the only excuse to have that match last.
Evil Vito
01-28-2023, 07:58 PM
I love how in a world where everyone denies they’ll be in the Rumble, Matt Cardona’s openly been teasing it all day.
Nowadays, this means everyone assumes he won’t be. Which, ironically, would make it an even bigger surprise if he was.
My Royal Rumble predictions:
Rhea
Cody (or Sami)
Roman
Bianca
Bray Wyatt
My final four predictions for the Men's Rumble:
Jey, Sami, Cody, Seth
One wrestler expected to be in the Rumble tonight...

Would have to assume something big is going down

I can see 3 things happening in the main event, either Rock/SCSA show up, Cody or MAYBE Bray wins the Rumble and then comes out during the main, or Roman is just straight up losing a title tonight somehow.
Only 3 open spots for the men's rumble match

Would they rather go into it with 10 spots open and then be underwhelmed when most of those spots go to Alpha Academy, Street Profits, etc

Sepholio
01-28-2023, 10:00 PM
hmmmm....wonder why AJ nor either Gallow/Anderson were in....feels like this is a year they could really used the 40 man rumble tbh. Just shorten the time between entrants and move up the amount. There are more than enough bodies to justify it.

I think you’d want a heel at 30 to take advantage of the boos. That seems ripe for an unwanted mixed reaction.

Braun and Ricochet are pretty much a complete tag team if you think about it. They have like every achetype/role covered and pretty much any move is potentially in their arsenal. They should push them.

I know starpower in general is lacking in wrestling but even compared to this, the women’s rumble seems like it’s just gonna be a bunch of Otises.

I am gonna throw up if Walter tore Cody's pec lol but I think it's just a flesh wound.
Evil Vito
01-28-2023, 10:26 PM
I think Roman’s gonna be forced to defend the belts separately at Mania
Loses the WWE Title to Cody, beats Rock or Austin to retain the Universal
Cody gets his moment and gets to be the one to finally pin Roman, but Roman still keeps his 2.5 year Universal Title run going
Jordan
01-28-2023, 10:26 PM
Great Rumble that relied on logic and just kept the energy up the whole time. Great match.
Fignuts
01-28-2023, 10:26 PM
That was a really good rumble.
Proof you don't need to rely on surprise entrants
That was fun
1/1 for predictions so far
erickman
01-28-2023, 10:28 PM
all downhill now
Evil Vito
01-28-2023, 10:29 PM
There’s no way they don’t have something major planned for the main because otherwise the rest of the show will feel like an anticlimax following that belter of a Rumble
Triple A
01-28-2023, 10:29 PM
Thought that Rumble was kinda boring honestly for like the first 50 mins... looking on Twitter and a bunch of people calling it one of the best Rumbles of all time...
Gunther was amazing though.
Evil Vito
01-28-2023, 10:31 PM
Even tho Cody winning was the right call, if Gunther had won after all of that it would’ve been fully justified. That guy rules.

he was made tonight
I know it's not quite as big as they prefer but I wish they'd give The Alamodome a WrestleMania - it is ALWAYS a great host for the RR

I can see them taking that way out but man, that would take a lot of the wind out of the sails for the eventual de-throning of the final boss that they’ve built up. They really should go all or nothing. Kinda cheapens it if someone finally overcomes him but it isn’t “THE moment” only because the guy went for the wrong title.
Evil Vito
01-28-2023, 10:34 PM
When Cody takes the WWE Title off of Roman, Gunther should be the one to eventually take it off of Cody. Absolutely future world champion material.

That seems to happen every year except that year Reigns won and Danielson wasn’t in it. Then ever one said it was the worst. Recency bias is strong even with cynical wrestling fans.

Seemed passable from the last thing I saw but he tends to talk pretty straight to the point. Can’t really imagine him doing a 10 minute promo.
Then again, Roman doesn’t say much in his promos either. Heyman does 95% of the talking.
that made me think of blacklight mini golf

"1st ever Mountain Dew Pitch Black match". I suspect this match will end Bray's feuds moving forward.

Bray Wyatt return has been absolutely terrible from everything I’ve seen. And people were begging for him to return for over a year. Be careful what you wish for.

Yeah as a heel, fuck it. Give him a manager and have him stand there looking menacing. I was just wondering if he could work as a face.
Alexa Bliss is not scary, they need to stop with this narrative lol

Backstage. Watching two monitors on opposite sides of the room at the same time.

Imagine having a childhood celebrity crush and then marrying them. That’s pretty much what Alexa did with Ryan Cabrera, lame a crush as it may be. Props.
