Wrestling Thread 7: FTR Baldhausen • Page 119

Alright, haven't see anything from M.Lee yet so I'll go with this.

Royal Rumble card is here

The winners of the Rumble draws will also get 5pts added to their card. And for "surprise entrants", we are going with people not officially announced before the show starts at 7pm.

 

Meltzer is reporting Ronda vs Charlotte is happening at WrestleMania. Sounds like the plan is still Bianca/Becky. Not sure how they will get there. Its possible Ronda appears after the Rumble. Gonna be a silly show

 

Charlotte is in the rumble so one would think that Ronda eliminates Charlotte to set up that feud and then Charlotte interferes to eliminate Ronda and then Bianca can still win the RR

 

Just sounds like so much rushed, forced booking in order to crowbar in the main events they want at Mania

 

Or as we've called it for the last few years, The Royal Rumble!

It certainly does reek of "we're panicked our ratings are dropping" season as well, which usually crescendos with some hilarious Rumble or EC booking

 

Honestly, this is best case scenario. I don't know if it happens, but if they have to do the match, this is the best way to do it

 

Can’t wait to hate-watch tonight, it’ll be the first WWE I’ve watched since the last rumble

 

so basically what they do every year? haha

 

I would say the last few rumbles have been pretty well thought out, but we did have a few years from like 2012 - 2016 where non of it made any sense

 

Haha, I feel like it's turned up quite a few notches this year though, mostly because Roman had covid for that last PPV I guess.

 

I mean just a few years ago Roman Reigns eliminating Undertaker in the Rumble set up that year's main event so yeah haha

 

Jeez, Vince's mom passed away last week, it was just announced. She was 101.

 

God, that rumble was such a mess. The audacity to have Goldberg/Taker/Roman be the feature of it...Brock getting eliminated and just casually walking away...and then them having Roman as #30 in the ultimate troll after losing to KO earlier in the night.

Probably marks the single biggest turning point in the company too; Cena drops the belt to Bray and Randy takes it from him with his Rumble win. They drop KO to set up Goldberg/Brock. And then Roman/Taker main events over it all...instead of putting KO and Bray over big at Mania

 

Ronda is the OVERWHELIMG odds favorite to win the womens Rumble tonight. Brock is now ahead of Big E in the odds as the sole favorite to win the mens rumble

 

Remember when shinsuke won the rumble and everyone thought finn was going to win it the following year?

 

Prayer circle for Liv

 

I’m trying to fill out this card and I don’t even know who is still in the damn WWE

 

WWE desperately needing stars and competitors for Reigns.

Brock Lesnar will probably win.

 

Yeah, I watched it last night and was curious if they would go there. Whole watch was great. Becky is just such a dynamic personality and one of those people I could listen to talk about pretty much anything and find it enjoyable.

 

I had to go to the website to see who was on the roster. Didn’t know who the WWE champ was. I have no idea what’s going on.

is it still rumored that someone else from another company will be in the mens rumble?

 

Checking out Becky and Austin now

 

Watch Slapnuts Jeff Jarrett be the surprise

 

Had to look at the roster page too, and also completely baffled at the number of people who I have literally never heard of or seen before. Admittedly haven’t been keeping up with NXT UK or 2.0, but Alea James? Xyon Quinn? Duke Hudson? Who are these people???

 

I mean, Mickie James will be in the womens Rumble and she;s impact champ.

 

Yeah and then it was rumored there’d be someone in the mens.
