**Official Royal Rumble Pool Thread** - Page 16 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Just throwing this out there, maybe instead of Runner-Up getting $40, you should have 8th place (or some other arbitrary #) in the Rumble get $40. That way, the mid-card guys are worth more and the "big" money winners don't necessarily have to come from the top picks in the draft. Makes the end of the draft more meaningful somewhat.

(I understand Santino finished 2nd last year, but historically it's going to be two top guys).

i mean we could change it to paying money for like the top 10 to give everyone a shot at some monies. i am seriously open to anything and i like your thinking.

Can you put me on the reserve list for the $100 random please. I'm only interested in doing it if there are 10 of us and not 6, thanks.

draft got a whole lot more interesting this week knowing that there could be a lot of weird **** that happens since "every superstar" is eligible. late round sleepers suddenly have a lot of value, especially if we just give money for finalists, maybe final 8? thoughts?

Matt you still have tons of time. gogogo! sign up for the high roller event too please so we can get 10 people.

In years past they had "qualifiers" for a few people and it was implied you had to do something. I don't want to spoil anything but I think they are mentioning it so fans know there will be some pops bigger than Diesel this year.

Basically what wesrwood said though.

Pops bigger than Diesel? That's not possible, sir. I demand you retract that statement or a defamation lawsuit will be filed against you.

I really hope Nash is in the rumble this year, after his GOAT fued with HHH I can't even imagine how big his pop will be.

Yeah I'm all set up for the first random but also in second, no checkmark!

Also, you think the last 8 or so spots for 2nd random will fill up?

edit: meh, or whatever just being a nit sorry. But I ask the second question cuz my friend wants to get in as well, but I'll give 2plus2ers a chance to get in before outsiders.

Its been open a couple weeks, if they havent decided they want to enter or seen it yet by now then what are they expecting? Invite your friend and lets get the 2nd filled first come first served imo otherwise it'll be awkward to run.

I had a dream last night where I had the first pick in the draft, took UNDRAFTED and he was the last guy left until UNDRAFTED came out 29th, buried him good, and then the 30th competitor was a broomstick (UNDRAFTED?) and they put on a 5 star match, but of course the broomstick lost in the end.

Speaking of the broomstick. Why don't people bring chairs or sledgehammers with them into the Rumble? It is no DQ but I don't recall anyone ever attempting a hardcore run.
