Yeah, I remember Dave reporting it because he became a sudden front-runner in the tipping. It’s not like there was any build to it, someone just knew and the sheets got wind of it that way.

Damb @Slik's favorite announcer powerbombing The Miz

Hearing voodoo child with the black and white might be nice for a one off

Please god

just want this to end

I was not aware that the Miz's heart was located in his right bicep. Learn something new every day.

That might normally mean something, but I think that is just what he wears always :rofl:

Wrestling has conditioned me to expect Maryse to do a Canadian Destroyer in that spot with Edge.

do not like hearing "the grit couple" over and over

Wish the next match was Wardlow vs. Marko Stunt

Shoot the Men's Royal Rumble directly into my veins

please tell me its only the rumble left. Please tell me theres not about to be a random tag team match. PLEASE.

match was insanely long...should have been 2 minutes

couples that spear together stay together shut the f*ck up corey

Fun story: Going to blow my own horn for a second. I’m pretty sure I’m responsible for Dolph Ziggler climbing the tipping in 2018. I just didn’t believe Shinsuke Nakamura was going to win, so I went around with a rationale that Dolph Ziggler would make sense because he’s established and they need him to be viable on house shows or whatever. Then Ziggler became this weird front-runner (or close to it) for a while.

I checked the tipping earlier. Bray Wyatt ranks higher than most people on the current roster, lol. There’s no real rumor he’s coming back, but I’ve seen people post it places as a complete fan theory (because he hasn’t appeared anywhere else I guess), and he was behind Big E, Drew McIntyre and maybe Brock Lesnar or something.

My point is: Sometimes the tipsters will reveal truths to you not evident on TV, but sometimes they’ll catch wind of something weird and out of the box that they can disguise as a weird sort of “long shot” bet to lure people in. But Bray Wyatt was ahead of even my pick earlier today.

Really hope they don’t have Lesnar win the Rumble.

2 minutes is more than enough time for Vito v Maryse.

J Lo and Owen Wilson movie looks non-good

Probably not the target audience

Bray winning is not a possibility imo.

Bray being in the match? I'd put that at more likely than not tbh. He brings star power they need right now. That would be a HUGE pop.

1 minute, 50 seconds of that is post-coital cuddles

Why are they doing a Sasha hype video AFTER she had and lost a match?

what is this

Roman Reigns isn’t your typical chickenshit. They’ve been teasing all sorts of things with him. He’s not scared of Brock. He kind of wants it.

Is this guy gonna be in the Royal Rumble

Groberg > Goldberg

Did Heyman actually overtly turn on Brock? I actually wouldn’t have seen that coming. I saw Roman costing Brock and Heyman being all frustrated by it. Didn’t think Brock being screwed would actually mean he’d win the Rumble. Could have seen him lose his shit and get told if he tries to get in, he’s suspended until past Mania.

AJ Styles baby!

AJ gonna be the work horse tonight. He's the man.

AJ needs another run with title ijs.

Did Styles just do the HBK pose?

Yep, handed Roman the belt to hit Lesnar, walked out with Roman smiling all happy their plan worked.

The Edge & Beth vs. Miz & Maryse stuff is not for us. It sucks as wrestling fans, but it’s for an entirely different audience to tentpole their reality shows around.

Re-iterating this

Nakamura :yes:

SHINSUKE IM STILL THE IC CHAMPION PLEASE REMEMBER ME NAKAMURAAAAAAAAAAA

It never ceases to amaze me how over Shinsuke STILL is with how badly WWE fucked his booking up.

STYLES NAKAMURA YES

Hmm. I don’t like it on the surface. My first reaction is “Why would they do that instead of hatching a plan that looks accidental?” But if the story is Roman actually wants Brock…look, Heyman can make it work.

If they’re all guffawed Brock comes after them? That’s bad storytelling. But if this is drawing a battle line? It’s taking Roman and Brock in a different direction.

plz Finn out next

Let's go Austin Theory

Here comes the future

How do they bring up Shinsuke winning the Rumble, but not that he picked to fight AJ Styles when that is who he is in the Rumble with lol

dude is the physical embodiment of charisma it can't be helped

Think I saw Austin Theory's first ever "pro" match in EVOLVE so have a soft spot for him :-)

wtf @ changing Bobby Roode's theme to this generic song... I guess that's his and Ziggler's theme

Damb @ Roode being in his third Rumble match

Robert Roode is quite the specimen:naughty::naughty:

forgot about bob roode

TNA chants

Can call him Robert Roode, can call him Bob Roode, but don't call him Bobby Roode lol

Gotta disagree with you here, man. They’ve looked after him. I think he could have been bigger and better used overall, don’t get me wrong — but the guy has had a really reputable career, made good money, got to get his family settled, is always featured and is actually pretty protected. When he last lost the IC Title to Strowman, he got beat because he went into an exposed turnbuckle — even though he was the heel. Braun was Universal Champion over Goldberg a few weeks later.

Pretty sure Naks feels respected by them. It may not be him and Tanahashi for the IC Title at Wrestle Kingdom in the main event, but the dude has a Hall of Fame spot waiting for him if he leaves on good terms.

Man I know most the guys in the ring rn are old but still WWE has so much raw talent they just need to use these guys right.

oh no @ Michael Cole probably repeatedly saying "Shin" during this

Holland's entrance music was odd.

crowd sounds tired

do not care for ridge holland

Fucking hell! Nakamura :nono:

Dude is one of the best carpenters in the business too. He sells like a motherfucker.

Shinsuke 1st man out :(

Keep burying the IC title. Won't be much longer until nobody remembers it still exists :(

Miz match should have been the second match or something... putting it in the "cool down" spot is dumb..... just drains the energy

Ridge Holland #1 of 5 unannounced participants

Oof @ Ridge Holland being one of the 5 unannounced

oh no they wasted one on ridge?

Seems as if the guy who's in charge of sweeting the crowd reaction is tired as well.

Montez Ford has singles star written all over him

I don't recognize half of these entrance themes :(

groaning @ Damian Priest... so boring 2 me

Damian Priest will main event WM within the next 2-3 years.

Some fan screaming Damien repeatedly :roll:

Be funny if Ridge just quietly replaced an already announced guy like Madcap Moss

Wouldn't be the first time WWE just abruptly swapped people

i like damian priest

MY BOY SAMI

I thought there were also 7 unannounced people in the mens match too? I counted earlier and the list I saw I swear only had 23 people on it. Oh well.

Oh shit Sami, Knoxville is next guaranteed!

Nah they announced 25 people as of last night

this is the best thing ever

johnny Knoxville waking the crowd up

Wow! Knoxville got quite the reaction :lol:

so good knoxville is the best

The original run of Jackass only had 25 episodes. MTV ran them for years on end. They sure got their money's worth.

Sami Zayn vs Knoxville is gonna be the celebrity comedy match at Mania this year.

it's gonna be a 6 star classic

the Knoxville cameo was fun

SHeamus doing a poor job training ridge. He should helped the Street Profits dump Damian.

Knoxville got out of that FAR better than Chris Pontius and Steve-O did against Umaga :rofl:

That's probably enough to give Johnny Knoxville a place in the Hall of Fame in a few years.

6 and a half if Meltzer is in a conference call with the Young Bucks when he announces it.

How are they going to be able to get Omos over the top rope?!?!?!?’v

Is it just me or was Omos entrances exactly the scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail of Lancelot charging the castle?

Jesus that ring post spot

My guess is he runs himself into the ropes when someone dodges him.

Pretty buzzed off of Fireball at this point. Makes it more fun.

Omos sucks

Otis could be a big part in eliminating Omos now that I think about it.

so many jobbers

NOID'S BOY

Isnt Ridge the biggest guy in the ring besides Omos?
