Stoychers Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Can't help but think The Rock's tweet is just a way to up buyrates/Network subscriptions and add to the intrigue that 'anyone could show up'. Despite that, I'm still rather looking forward to the Rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 It's amazing what one good episode of RAW does to us (myself included) because now we're all pumped 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I think having nearly half of the Rumble entrants be unknowns ups my interest. It's better than what they'd do in the past by having everyone in the Rumble fight for their spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better than what they'd do in the past by having everyone in the Rumble fight for their spot. Can't help but agree with this. You know at least 3 of the last 5 are going to be "mystery entries" to keep the suspense alive. If *spoiler* is true he is definitely one of those, Im saying he will get tossed by Reigns. Before Reigns is tossed by Fandango. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebbie Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Are you guys really advocating for ECW guys to pop up? There's a goddamn reunion show for those bums way too often. If they were worth a shit, they would already have cozy gigs in the WWE already. ECW was only successful because people love to think Heyman's word was the gospel. What a fucking con man.

I wouldn't mind a couple old ECW names, I'm not advocating for Hack Myers and Broadstreet Bully, but I'd pop for Sandman, Sabu or the bWo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Fuck, they should capitalize on the buzz and bring in Mero. And pay him more than Austin, Foley, and Big Show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECW was only successful because people love to think Heyman's word was the gospel. What a fucking con man. ECW was successful because WWF and WCW were absolute shite in the mid 90's before the Monday Night Wars started. They were successful because they introduced fans to guys like Eddy, Dean, Sabu, Rey Jr etc when WWF and WCW were still stuck in the mid 80's. If you weren't around at the time you wouldn't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is Mero health wise? Regardless he may have nuked that bridge already. Although his eskimo brothers have pretty good spots.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 No clue, but he was walking around fine on the stage, so I assume he could at least come down the ramp, get a pop, get in the ring. Then if necessary have someone safely baby him out of the ring. It's just, here's an ex-employee getting 20 million views, seems like a good idea to try and get some of that buzz.

_MJ_ Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) So let's assume El Patron's spoiler was true. And Daniel Bryan & are the last two left, and Bryan wins. Would the fans (not in Philly, but in general all fans before 'Mania) turn on Bryan for that, or would that help Bryan? I think the fans are still largely behind Bryan in that scenario. Punk's promos made "part-time veterans are fun but shouldn't be the focal point of the show" a talking point for more than just the hardcore fans, and I think a majority of fans would love to see the other guy show up, but still want their current favorite to win. The live crowd were going at part-time veterans long before Punk's podcast interviews, promos, or whatever. Also considering how openly Triple-H still take shots at Marc Mero (as recently as late 2014, if I'm remembering correctly) it would truly be a surprise to see him show up anytime soon. Good PR is good PR though. Edited January 25, 2015 by _MJ_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Beware. Someone at some point may post more potential spoilers and/or reddit douche predictions in here. See you at 11pm. I am excited. Favorite show of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I doubt spoiler shows up just to get tossed in the Rumble. Are there any up-and-coming heels he can help get over by slapping them around, mocking their gimmick, and/or impregnating their chick? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it's too short a link to what he did to piss off WWE in the first place, and that's the one area where WWE will NOT chase after media coverage.

Nice Guy Eddie Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Frankly, I don't think the guy mentioned in the spoiler will be in the rumble. Anyway, here's my guess for the final four. Bryan Reigns Luke Harper Rusev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The notion of Sting showing up in the Rumble is great because it underscore the idea that the only person you need to negotiate anything with in WWE is the guy running the soundboard and the tron video. He has permanent power of attorney for the company. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badfish69 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Sting and the guy mentioned in the spoiler facing down would be a pretty cool moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Money was tight when Rumble tix went on sale, so I didn't get any. I went on Stubhub hoping to find something today. The cheapest seats available are $300!That's completely bonkers for a product that seemingly everyone but me is down on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheapest seats available are $300! That's completely bonkers for a product that seemingly everyone but me is down on. We bought a bunch of tickets for Raw on Feb 2nd and they doubled in price within a week. Balcony seats going on Stub Hub for $60 and floor for 200+. Yeah it is still a hot ticket. Personally I would have skipped it for the price we paid but my daughter really wanted to go, and I know we will have a good time regardless.
