I think the traffic on this forum right now speaks for itself in terms of excitement. I think I'm gonna buy this event.

I think the world title matches look very, very promising as well. I wouldn't want to skip those.

Only have like 3 friends that are really into wrestling, but having a Rumble viewing party and already have 8 people coming so I'd say interest is definitely up for this one

forum is rocking tonight, should hit fever pitch by rumble time. What's the most users we've had in this forum at one time. I remember seeing 58 users once during Raw.

I just pulled the trigger on the purchase. Crossing my fingers this will be paid for by pool proceeds.

I came home for the weekend and made my dad pay $10 more so we could watch it in hd.

guys,

just a reminder there is no way to watch this event without paying for it. I guess you are doing the old busto route of listening to the event without watching on PPV. I used to do that all the time. But there is ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY no other way to watch it.

Wrong thread, should be moved to Kayfabe thread.

I typed this into my browser but it didn't work. I think you got your poem wrong.

I sprung for the $10 more for HD as well. Totally worth it in my experience.

Hypothetical even money bet, would you take Jericho or the field?

I'm taking Jericho. He mentioned on Raw it's going to be the end of the world at Rumble, something big happening at the PPV

Also why would Jericho come back if he isn't guaranteed a big push? Not exactly hard up for cash + he's got a semi-successful rock band. To me this equals that he'll be in the main event at Wrestlemania, and the easiest way to guarantee that is winning the rumble

yeah ive got jericho as my pick to win, but dont think he wins more than 40%.

i always get crazy theories about now. but orton is close to 40% as well. after that the other 20% is mostly miz, adr, punk and sheamus

btw i did a pool with my mark friend fwiw. he makes me so jealous. i think in the month leading up to the rumble next time im gonna stay off all internet stuff because it just makes the event so much less fun knowing there are only a couple of guys that can win:

Me: Y2J, Orton, Punk, Sheamus, Henry, Barrett, Bryan, ADR

Him: Zig, Miz, Rhodes, McIntyre, Johnny Ace, HHH, Funkasaurus, RTruth

You realise this isnt the kayfabe thread, right?

There are lots of ways to guarantee the main event of WM for Jericho that doesnt mean winning the Rumble.

And fwiw there are a few things he could be offered to come back including closing out the streak in Taker's retirement.

Field edges Jericho in the Rumble imo.

Id assume all discussion will go in here during the PPV.

25th anniversary bodes well to have an epic Rumble match itself, which is why I don't think I'll regret ordering this for the HD goodness of ppv. However, I am really looking forward to the Punk/Dolph matchup. I understand it's probably a throwaway match, hell they might even have Dolph win it for a month or w/e, but I'm more interested in the match quality itself. These two dudes have the potential to put up a 25 minute five star classic but I don't know if they'll be up for it. :-/
