Is there any chance Nakamura is in the Rumble? I haven't been following NXT so I don't know if it makes sense for him to make the jump right now or not.

 

Guys think there's a chance Chris Hero shows up tonight in some capacity besides sitting in the crowd?

 

I've thought about this, and I don't think they would debut him in the Rumble for one reason, he wouldn't be able to do his pose in the ring. As weird as it sounds, in my mind they would want to get that over and have it be a spectacle of sorts. You'd want him to do it right off the bat. Unless he's number 1 or no ones in the ring, couldn't do it in the Rumble.

 

They're upset that I didn't wait for Nikki.

I don't think there's a zero percent chance of him showing up but I think it's highly unlikely we get more than Joe and the off chance of Tye debuting. Nakamura seems like a Raw (or Smackdown) after WM kinda debut, where he can have more a full impact than a Rumble appearance. Joe, you have him come in and have him start destroying everyone in that ring, you get a good idea of what he's like. Tye, you have people chanting 10 10 10 and that's probably good enough. I'd think they'd want the full spectacle of Nakamura for a first impression.

That's just the way I picture it, at least. It could happen but I personally don't see it.

 

I actually buy this a lot.

 

Agreed. when they did it with Sami last year, it made sense because KO was in the ring and they were starting up that rivalry. Who in the Rumble would have any connection with Nakamura within the WWE multiverse? A Nak/Joe showdown in the Rumble would be, odd...

Also, even if Nak loses to Roode, he's getting a rematch. I dont see him doing double duty leading into WM.

It'd actually make more sense to bump up Roode after he loses to Nak. Cause the Glorious music hit at the Rumble would probably be enough to get him over to start

 

Fuck, now I want Roode in the Rumble. Counts down 3...2...1... and the piano's hit. 40-50k people singing his song.

Be especially great if he hits on an even number, because my girlfriend hates his theme

I hope this is wrong. Being a season behind on Netflix is no way to grow...and even worse if Season 3 is on there before they even tape Season 4

 

I wish LU would leave El Rey, I don't have that shit and don't know anyone who gets that channel

If Nak drops the belt sat night does that sway your guys opinion though?

 

I don't see Joe and Nak leaving NXT at the same time. And I'm convinced Joe is an entrant.

 

I think Nakamura will be on the main roster by Wrestlemania

 

Surprise entrance!

 

Yeah pretty sure you can't do this.

 

I'd like to go back and add the Owens v Ambrose last man standing match to my 2016 MOTY list.

tough shit

 

Id like to add Baron Corbin to my 2016 worst gimmick list

 

We should've had a category for worst ring gear. Corbin would've won in a landslide.

 

Baron Corbin is better than all of you

 

Thats not sayin much
