Haha sounds like there is interest. I'll set something up.

We normally have one. I think Loonerty hosted? Unsure if just because he was mod or out of the goodness of his heart

Ok well I'm happy to wait. I'd prefer to just join. So will see what Loonerty wants to do.

As long as I get Kenny Omega

 

[Loonerty]

I ain't gonna run it, you go for it rota69

 

[Quivorir]

Turns out he has no heart.

Come join my one. I'm not sure how it went last time but hopefully I rally some trips and we should get something going.

could be the worst Rumbles in terms of star participants for years

as bad as 1993 (although that had Flair)

It’s has been interesting or odd that they are giving away Lashley vs Brock at the rumble and Roman vs Seth there to.

Most think it’s leading to Brock losing than winning the rumble but what if it’s flipped and Seth wins the belt off Roman and Roman enters himself in the rumble at 30 and wins.

Realistically the guys in the tag matches or other matches will probably end up in the rumble to ??

I can't wait for Kofi's big surviving elimination spot.

It's been done to death and the last couple have been pretty week.

 

[Loonerty]

wait it's on a Sunday? nice

Yes, I’m over it. Doubly so, since Naomi has been doing the same thing in the Women’s Rumble.

We were saved from this last year in the men's with Kofi missing, and in 2020 by Brock Lesnar tossing him straight out. (Misspelled Lesnar in OP Cleavy , for those with OCD).

Can't remember when Naomi did her tricks, but I doubt she does it this year. Likely to be turfed straight out by Sonya DeVille (either directly or indirectly).

Agree that it's grown tiresome.

 

[Cleavy]

apparently the Iiconics/Iinspiration turned down an offer from WWE to appear in the Rumble.

 

[Cleavy]

it's that time again for the yearly Rumble stats

bloody John Morrison for starting it

Can you blame them?

 

[Cleavy]

Can you blame them?

No. Weren’t they recently close contacts of Covid too?

 

[Senor M]

No. Weren’t they recently close contacts of Covid too?

That doesn’t mean much in the US anymore. Only 5 days.

Romero tested positive last week, missed Rampage and then was back for Dynamite.

 

[Cleavy]

from the list so far if Brock/Roman need to take someone out to steal their spot in the Rumble, then Dominik, Ricochet and Boogs better watch their backs.

 

[Shade]

Why is this on Saturday? better for us but I can't recall it ever being on Saturday

Reigns / Rollins on first.

Good call imo, crowd will be hot.
