Royal Rumble 2017: PPV Discussion Thread - Page 11 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Great match. I loved everything about it, except the kick out of the stunner. Reigns/Strowman is something I can get behind. I guess this means we're getting either Owens/Jericho or Owens/Balor at WM for the Universal Championship.

Great match. Too many Roman superhero kickouts.

So pretty much a standard Reigns match.

There is also a list of names in the logo on the ring apron. With some of the names on there, I wouldn't put any stock in it

that match was still good, but man if you just take out brass knuckle spot (or have the ref be ko'd during it) its about 15x better

Strowman works pretty stiff right? A Strowman-Reigns program seems like someone is bound to get injured.

Meh Owens looked like he belonged in this match which is more than I can say about any Kevin Owens Universal Title Defense so far.

I saw Jack Gallagher going through there at the start of the show.

Great match between those guys. Glad it didn't come down to Jericho.

To whoever said "eventually drops an anvil on Roman's head", I lol'ed irl when Roman was going to do the spear thinking of an anvil falling as Jericho drops it on Roman's head. Too good.

I avoid all odds posts for this reason. It's one thing to find out, for example, that

But the odds just take all the surprise out of the matches.

Samoans have +100 head defense as evidenced by the headshrinkers

He didn't remove the monitors from the German announce table, then slammed Roman into the table, very close to the monitors.

Apparently Sting was in that graphic too. Def wouldn't give it too much credence.

Maybe Funkasaurus will come back and dance while Kid Rock plays in the background.

It looked like the one on the right side of the table (where Roman's head landed) was gone already.

I feel like my stream is a couple of minutes behind, so avoiding the thread mid-match now, but that KO/Reigns match was fantastic. I could totally get behind a Strowman/Reigns/KO 3way at Mania if that's where they are going.

It's so weird that they gave Backlund a run of over an hour when he was less over than anyone on the roster at the time.

Wait. Miz and Ambrose aren't on this card? So no IC match at the RR? Just wow

It will probably never happen, but I'd love to see Reigns in NJPW

Yeah this is confusing the hell out of me.

Rumble = 1 hour
Let's give Cena/AJ = 30 mins
Then 30 mins of promos "Member the rumble?"

Neville/Swann is going for an hour?
