Niners Fan in CT Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Not defending Hunter but even though his answer was obvious bullshit if you are the COO of WWE what are you supposed to say? "My father-in-law couldn't pass up the boatload of cash and couldn't have cared less if women are on the card or not" doesn't have much of a ring to it..

BrianS81177 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 On 4/22/2018 at 11:45 AM, Brian Fowler said: So we have 18 confirmed men for the Rumble (Daniel Bryan, Braun Strowman, Big Show, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Elias, Baron Corbin, Big E, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Apollo Crews, Shelton Benjamin, Sin Cara, Chad Gable, Goldust, Titus O’Neil, Mojo Rawley, Dolph Ziggler). 4 not confirmed but on the poster (Mark Henry, Shane McMahons, Rey Mysterio, Great Khali). And one spot guaranteed to the winner of the KSA tryouts they are holding. The rest of the card has 23 people announced plus the to be determined CW challenger. I'm assuming most of them not named Brock are doing double duty. Isn't Rey still recovering from a torn bicep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was confirmed for the match on wwe.com Wednesday, so I guess he's ready enough to go at least a few minutes if not to start actually working again.

Pedantic alert: Triple H on screen is the COO, but real life he's Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative. They don't actually have a COO, but Vince is CEO, and George Barrios and Michelle Wilson are each a Co-President. Then Stephanie is Chief Brand Officer, then Paul is the fifth person listed on the corporate page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 BTW - regarding show length Meltzer mentioned on the radio show this morning that don't be surprised if the show is longer than 5 hours since tradition is to have a one hour intermission (for a prayer break) I mean I can't see the WWE agreeing to that due to the live broadcast nature of the show but who knows.

Technico Support Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 They'll have to restrain Vince during the prayer break, lest he perform a hilarious~! bit where he challenges Allah to a match. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Those seats are way too nice to put pictures of wrestlers faces on them. And you thought getting those collector edition chairs through airport security was a pain in the ass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I would love it if someone airbrushed some wrestling stuff on at least one of those chairs. Just some really gaudy mall airbrush kiosk type stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I get the reasons people don't want to watch this show, be it the absolutely valid political issues, or feeling like it's going to be nothing matches, or pique that this is being aired and not things like Starrcade, or anger over the feeling that they treated Wrestlemania as a set-up show for this...BUT after seeing everyone go on record as to why they're blowing this show off I'm now rooting for every title to change hands, AJ and Nak to get 45 minutes, Cena and Roman to turn heel and form a faction, the Undertaker to do a 20 minute out of character retirement speech, and like fucking Kenny Omega to win the Rumble. 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'm almost certain the Universal title will, because it'll get a palatable reaction in a place like KSA, rather than a 'Mania crowd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 The Saudi elite being the ones to react to Roman as a face sounds like a plotline from Arrested Development. 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'd love to see Nak win the title here. I was lukewarm on him prior to Mania. But now I'm a huge fan of his Perineum Uppercut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
