Another year, another Rumble disappointment? Every year I've been hyped and I've been trying not to fall for it again but tonight has some potential to go one way or the other. Hoping for the better though.

Unless they book the match well, I don't wanna see Taker or any part timer win. Someone who debuts or a return is what we need.

 

Oh Punk

**Briefly describe Kofi's annual spot
***Angle does not count. Ellsworth does not count. NXT guys do not count.
****Name one of the two.

 

Can we DQ him for trying to cheat and get extra points?

 

If anything, i should get more points if Mojo DOES come out at #8

 

Mojo is gonna come out at 7, get knocked out immediately, then come back out at 9.

 

Only for the great Todd Chrisley to come out at 8?

 

Meltzer basically said that the whole shebang tonight will likely only run for for five hours. That'd put the show running from 5-10 including the preshow. Kinda weird that they even bother with a two hour preshow if the show isn't going to run much later than 10.

 

Ive accepted we are either getting a part-timer or a 2x winner out of this. But I'll be pleasantly surprised if they do boost someone like Joe or Sami

 

So the other 4 matches will get roughly an hour and a half? That makes more sense.

 

Thank god. He replied to a guy who asked about 4hrs (meaning the main show), so I was worried this thing was running til 11:30+.

Huge mistake for the RAW tag match to not be on the main card as the first match. But I guess just having all the womens matches to the pre-show looks bad.

 

I don't think the show (actual wrestling) will start right at 5, will it? I see it being done by like 10:40 tonight.

 

Yeah, Im betting 15mins each for the CW and Womens match. 20 for Roman/KO, and like 30 for Cena/AJ. Add a Seth backstage segment or two and it works nicely

 

Hot damn lol. Gonna watch night 1 from this year's until the pre show matches get going.

 

Can people actually bet on WWE matches? I didn't know that was a thing.

 

Not the full much, but its a good watch, other than the shit song. Favorite guys in the wrestling world rn.

 

Yes, Vegas does odds. But because of the whole scripted thing, you'll never find big odds.

 

His match against Rampage in PROGRESS in the last chapter was great. He also won the Atlas title off him so he should be appearing frequently in the short term.

 

Parking is a mess downtown between the rumble and pax south.

Parked 3/4ths of a mile away.

 

The NJPW gang in Yakuza 6

 

Yeah you can and I think you can only bet a max amount of dollars and its not much

 

I cant even imagine its that much fun. Unlike real sports, the element of surprise is pretty limited

 

Hosting a Rumble party at my house tonight and drinking has begun so if I remember to post tonight you're in for a treat, boys

 

Whats everyone best case scenario tonight? I of course wanna see Angle. But I really would love KO to retain and Jericho to win the rumble. Thats aint fuckin happenin though.
