That was dumb. I thought the wrestlers were going to pick the numbers on the show. That was 45 minutes of Royal Rumble By the Numbers :n:

New WWE Rivalry Episode:

Matt Hardy Vs. Edge.

Oh shit.

6 months in 2005 with Edge winning all but like one match hardly makes a rivalry

Not sure if it counts as irony but WWE stocks came very close to closing out the day on the low, low price of 9.99.

The same price the WWE has been touting as an amazing valve for the WWE Network and ridiculing people who pay more for their own ppvs.

According to NeoGAF, today was a year-low for the stocks.

The feud was meant to make a star (and could have easily made two, but Vince was oblivious the crowd's reactions to Hardy the Lesser.).

And it worked. It actually did more for Edge than them putting him over Benoit, Kane, and Shawn Michaels did.

It's a great line, without a shadow of a doubt.

I just want a consistent presentation, more than anything else. It's too much to ask from WWE creative, I know...

Tough Enough Season 1 is up on WWE Network. I wonder who will win?

Should have been Josh and Taylor

Oh shit ODB!

What?

best sign in a long time

God, shut the fuck up

I've had The Mountie's theme stuck in my head all day.

#YoureWelcome

5 moves I'm glad Cena isn't using.

Spear
Inverted suplex
Full nelson
Piledriver
Texas Clover Leaf

Thinking of making this its own thread. Dunno.

"Inverted Suplex".

Isn't every move that's not a standard vertical suplex called an inverted suplex these days?

Seriously, why do you dislike Droford so much?

I'm seeing on the front page that NAO are facing The Ascension at Royal Rumble. When was this match booked?

Raw. Cole announced it after the Ascension got creamed.

a band called The Mountain Goats made a song on Chavo Guerrero Sr

So many people on the roster, I still see little reason to not expand the Royal Rumble to 40 or even 50 men.... 2-3 normal matches on the card, then 2/3 of the PPV for the Rumble itself....

Mountain Goats > Chavo

If anyone is interested, WWE recently gave the Bleacher Report an inside look at Creative with Bryan's Road to Mania storyline as the feature piece given.

Does have some usual WWE BS/fluff at certain points like how they were always completely behind Bryan or implying Bastista winning the Rumble was never really about pushing Batista. Even has a small dig at Punk implying he was the roadblock to Triple H vs Bryan at Mania.

Looks like NXT is going to have another TakeOver in February instead of around WrestleMania time. So, I guess they will just have to steal the show from Fast Lane.

and you're off total divas.

KICKOUT AT--er...

Andy Dalton is great. If he wasn't so short he would be getting way more attention. Saw him vs Vordell last year and it was a great match.

Ignore my rambling I was a bit high when I was at the show.

I'd leave it at 30 men, but there is absolutely no reason that you should not have an awesome card outside the Rumble Match itself, making for an overall great and memorable PPV start to the calendar year.

You have the Rumble, then you obviously have a WWE World Title match, a Divas Title match, a Tag Title match, and either an IC or US Title match (I like the idea of at least one champion defending their belt on the show). Throw it one personal grudge match, and you could have a PPV for the ages.

I know people like the old-school feel of NXT only running shows every quarter, but I really feel like they could be doing one a month and really making the Network worth something.

Mmmf.
