You gotta change something there, brother

 

oh shit

 

Yeah, no points. If nobody follows it, I don't care lol. they just won't get points. And your surprise entrant for the girls can be literally anybody

 

yeah, I had very specific ideas about how both Rumbles will go and didn't want anyone to get something similar in before me

 

Dashboard Confessional playing in the Wells Fargo Center parking lot right now

 

I changed mine to two obvious guys even though I think the NXT guys I picked would be better surprises.

Will have to spend some time on the picks tonight.

This show has to be huge. It needs to be everyone talking about it in a positive way. WWE has been in an undeniable rut lately.

 

It doesn't at all though. They are making record profits at something like $600 million this year, and that doesn't take into account the tv deal.

-Bryan Alvarez yesterday

 

Dunne has been on nxt sure, but id never call him an nxt guy

**Briefly describe Kofi's annual spot
***GM/Commissioners do not count. NXT guys do not count.
Spot Monkey can't come from the Rumble, obviously.

 

Yeah but I mainly mean the bad press with Enzo and the myriad of injuries that have derailed the story and the universally agreed upon lackluster 25th anniversary Raw.

 

the show most likely stink, and let’s be real. You will still watch it.

 

If you haven't learned by now that WWE has zero sense of urgency when it comes to matters like this, I don't know what to tell ya. I'd say a good 70% of all our posts on the forum these past five years you could file in the cabinet labeled "Bitching 'Bout WWE" and yet here we all still are, filling out match cards for a pixelated championship belt.

 

Speak for yourself, Mick!













I never fill out the prediction cards...

 

WWE absolutely does not give a fuck about putting out total dog shit for a huge show.

That's actually how MOST of the big 4 ppvs go these days.

 

Wow, I'm enjoying an Asking Alexandria song

 

And fuck, Samoa Joe NEEDS to go into broadcasting when he retires

 

Same!

 

It' s just like being a blink-182 fan!

 

Black could honestly win all the awards.
