Royal Rumble 2017: PPV Discussion Thread - Page 5 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

You missed a couple weeks ago, when Ziggler was heeling it up in Memphis by claiming he was responsible for King's heart attack, then superkicked him in the chest.

This is A+ heel work.

Next year the Rumble is back in Philly (site of 2015 Rumble). Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I still think Jericho should have won by default when he entered #30.

That would've lived up to the hype. Such a great troll.

Taker is def getting eliminated by not reaching the ring prior to the next entrant being announced. That ramp is so long!

cue ref running forever down long ramp then sliding 3/4 way into the ring to make a count dot gif

Despite having been to Germany twice, and knowing many German people, I still can't not hear Keegan Michael Keye as Frontbutt doing the German accent.

This feels like the one belt least likely to change hands tonight.

I don't think a big giant type guy ever wins the rumble, but I'm not an expert.

Also, having the winner auto-main event WM makes it hard to imagine Braun winning.

How's the commentary with Saxton and this other dude? Is Cole still worse than being forced to drink a pint of aids infected period blood?

You were like 14 or something at the time, right? You had rumble pools at that age?

Graves is quite good. Saxton is meh. Cole is still pretty much as you described.

I'm watching this with my wife and a bunch of her family members who don't watch wrestling. They are all really into it though and I'm having a great time pretending each near fall could be the end of the match. Sometimes you forget the joy of watching wrestling as a true mark.

Honestly Charlotte seems like a difficult person to book, she's literally bigger, stronger, faster and more coordinated than every other woman on the roster.

Big John Studd won in 1989....that's the closest I can think of. Big Show and Kane have both gotten second.

Yeah, always had friends over for PPVs and everyone threw in $5 for Rumble pools.
