RIPPA

It's amazing realizing how thin the roster really was in that 95-97 window and they have to go outside to fill the thirty man Rumble. Now they could, pretty easily, fill the 50 man GRR things with guys still left out.

So, Football365 (UK based football/soccer site) have written a piece imagining all 20 current Premier League managers taking part in a Royal Rumble, including a wonderful Mikel Arteta/Scott Steiner math promo. For those with an interest in both footy/graps ye may enjoy.

Very random thought: Making Davey Boy put over HBK for the Euro title in England after he dedicated the match to his dying sister is just about the most low key sick and fucked up things the company has ever done.

Still pisses me off to this very day. Fuck Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels for that.

Santino Marrela should've won the 2011 Royal Rumble. It would get over that even the underdog can have his day. You could have Santino lose the opportunity at Elimination Chamber but forever have him as a Royal Rumble match winner. Also the story going from the quickest elimination in the history of the Men's Royal Rumble at 2009 and going on to win it two years later.

And then going full circle by entering the Women's Rumble in 2020, so everyone hates him again now.

I know Anthony and we talked a few times about the Rumble and Elimination Chamber near misses, Santino could've had a great "serious" run if the company had the balls to pull the trigger.

I remember seeing somewhere years ago what the match ups would be if the runner up for the rumble and the title match at the rumble were flipped. I think it had Big Show vs Jeff Hardy back to back or something weird. The road not taken.

Just watching the 92 Rumble and it prompted a random thought (I don’t remember this ever being covered in one of those by the numbers videos). What’s the longest timeframe covered by Rumble appearances (not most appearances or biggest gap between appearances, just longest time between first and last appearances)? After some quick checks I’m thinking it’s Taker with 26 years (91-17) and possibly Jarrett in no.2 with 25 (94-19 - I would have completely forgotten him if I hadn’t looked up the 19 match).

Am I missing anyone? 

Charles Wright was in the 93 Rumble as Papa Shango and in the 2013 Rumble as Goodfather so he at 20 years. Mark Henry is in the 98 Rumble and the 2017 Rumble. Diesel is in 1994 and 2014. Gold Dust is in 1997 and 2018
