Take a shot when:

1 – Something happens with the sole purpose to make Roman Reigns look really really strong.

2 – The commentators remind us Jericho is one of the favorites along with Brock and Roman.

3 – Kalisto wins the Rumble, but immediately loses his Wrestlemania Title Shot to Alberto Del Rio

4 – Brock Lesnar suplexes an opponent. [Good luck with this one, my friend]

5 – AJ Styles debuts.

6 – A Vince-McMahon-big-guy eliminates an Internet darling.

7 – AJ Styles does something. Anything!

8 – Big Show comes out. Because, for ****’s sake, it’s 2016 and he’s still here.

9 – Triple H eliminates Roman.

10 – TNA reports that they’ve signed every Royal Rumble participant to a verbal agreement.

I asked because I can't do timezones.

I thought I least knew what timezone I live in.

Apparently not.

Anyone know why the WWE advertise the PPVs as $55 through US cable companies?

Have never seen a PPV in Australia that expensive (outside of maybe one or two boxing main events). Where are they pulling that number from, didn't PPVs in the US used to be super cheap?

Throw in the conversion rate too.
About 75c atm i think.

Heel King jokes are funnier than face King jokes.

Exactly, according to them the Rumble costs about 80 bucks AUD in the US

Owens confirmed in Royal Rumble match.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Wow didn't realise Owens was doing the LMS match AND the Rumble.

Good worker. Also indicative of how few people the WWE had to fill the rumble

Been that way for years.

I don't want a headache so I'll be back in 3 hours.

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

So Sandow is back to the intellectual philosopher gimmick? I like that move

 

[Igloo]

The Ascension's music is so god damn great.

Fatal four way Tag match with the winners entering the rumble.

Dudleyz vs. Henry and Swagger vs. Sandow and Young vs. The Ascension


I'll go with the Dudleyz thanks

 

[DarkPhoenix]

The Ascension's music is so god damn great.

Jim Johnston, absolute legend

 

[GWBogan]

The Ascension's music is so god damn great.

That's the only thing good about them, unfortunately.

Sandow getting the biggest pop so far, something Reigns wishes he had.

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Sounds like a pretty loud smarky crowd. Pretty sure they were chanting Daniel Bryan during the panel.

Looks like it's gonna be one of those Rumbles

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Smarky crowd going by the Sandow love

Better than a clueless crowd who chants for Cena in non Cena matches

I just can't see the Rumble going any other way but Regins surviving all the way to the end then HHH comes in at #30 eliminates him and wins. Also Wyatt costing Brock the match which sets up Brock VS Braun at Wrestlemania.

Yep, nailed it.

I will be pleasantly surprised if anything outside that happens.

And holding out for the possibility of an AJ debut, hope they don't keep it til RAW

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Bubba mouthing at Swagger and Henry both of which are struggling to suppress giggles in response.

There's nothing worse than a crowd booing wrestlers because of percieved backstage politics.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Jack Swagger cool but **** off Mark Henry.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Cole: " Can you imagine what would happen if Reigns was eliminated first thing in the Rumble match, guaranteed a new champion!"

Well theres confirmation that won't happen

 

[Bellzzy]

I want Booker T back on commentary haha

Disagree
Cena continual pushes
Big Show Matches
"Heeeeeeey we want some..." Chants.
