Royal Rumble 2018 - 7 p.m. ET start - Page 3 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Nope they've already confirmed that AJ/KO/Zayn is curtain jerking.

I do think there will be at least one match between the women and the men rumbles though.

It would be hilarious for them to put the women on last.

sigh slow pony

I definitely think Women's Rumble should have curtain jerked fwiw. Seems like the obviously correct decision.

Guessing that match might curtain-jerk rather than having two consecutive Rumble matches.

Odds a lock to win. 13 is gonna take it.

(I base this on nothing)

Gonna open a 14% abv beer and have an edible.

This will help my enjoyment of the show immensely.

This seems like an energetic crowd, even by Philadelphia standards.

I had assumed that AJ vs. KO and Sami was actually AJ vs. KO vs. Sami. This seems a lot worse.

Nah it's a great idea, remember how good Miz and Alex Riley vs John Cena was... I mean that wasn't literally the worst match to ever main event a PPV in the entire history of wrestling

I don't think Riley was actually an official participant in that match. I think it was just a functional handicap match.

It was like Yoko vs. Taker if Taker had risen above the odds.

Yeah this is correct it was called by Miz at the start of the match. Same outcome though.

Long story short I agree with you and the others saying that it being handicap is a terrible idea, and likely to be a waste of the insane level of talent in the ring.

Sami and Kevin Owens are great together because they both look like they would need directions to find a gym.

Pretty surprised the Women's Rumble didn't open.

One would assume this is so one or more of these guys can participate in the Rumble.

Please stop pretending that the pin at the end of that move is an actual false finish.

Ya maybe, but just don't put them on 2nd last and they could be in the Rumble anyway.

I'm guessing that maybe something is gonna happen that they want a hot crowd for.

I didn't know you were allowed to pin the illegal man. With your own shoulders down.

Weird ending assuming they aren’t going to rematch. Maybe they go with triple threat rematch but seems weird to break up Owens and zayn so quickly

Thought match was good though

Meh, the shoulders down seemed like the result of a partially-botched move, don't think that was booked. Also they weren't down for the full three-count.

The illegal man getting the decision isn't that uncommon, but the announcers did bother to bring attention to it.
