Royal Rumble Pool: 2023! - Page 6 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Even tho i don't have 30, I'd love to hear the glass break for #30 and see Stone Cold come through the curtain, stun everyone, and win the Rumble, earning a title shot at Wrestlemania.

True but isnt he a bit out of match shape, esp a gruelling one like the Rumble?

I reckon he will come out in the last 10 of 30...

Then again I dont watch shows week to week and am talking out of my ass

Anywho, thanks all looking forward to it!!!

The Rumble is only grueling if you make it grueling. You can also just gently try to push someone over the top for minutes at a time. Plenty of lazy long performances in the history of the match.

Unofficial but was tracking. I think Gunther got most eliminations with 5. Definitely Gunther last longer and obv Cody Rhodes with the win.

One entrant had 1 in both mens pools, and someone else had 30 in both mens pools. Crazy.

I just scrapped my message, after seeing wiki has Cody with 5 eliminations also.

We will keep an eye on that.

But with JBBUF having 1 in both pools and NJPW having 30 in both, accounting will be fairly easy.

Thought I was in good shape with #1 in the Women's. But after Gunther I'm definitely getting Trish at #1

Assuming most eliminations is a split, payouts for the Mens match look like:

$10 pool

NJPW $175
JBBUF $125

$100 Pool

NJPW $1100
JBBUF $400

I had Cody eliminating Gunther, Dominik, Austin Theory and Logan Paul with half to Braun Strowman. It certainly looked like Ricochet helped eliminate Strowman but maybe he was trying to save him lol I dunno.

Nah, honestly I thought you were exactly right when you posted it. The logic checked out. But their booking of the Rumbles tonight was pretty button-mashy.

Getting the number one in the women’s high roller was a helluva sweat with a happy ending.

So possibly very dumb question. Conventional logic would say Rhea Rhipley 'survived the longest' in the rumble, she won.

But officially, both Rhea and Liv went 1:01:03 (according to wikipedia).

Is that market a chop? I probably should have had an answer on this before hand.

I’m biased because I have Rhea, but I was thinking of this before it got to the end and assumed the winner would be the longest, as they weren’t actually eliminated.
