Jenalysis Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Reigns vs Brock seems like a train wreck, if Brock does indeed win the title and take it to WM. However, we have yet to have The Shield be a threat to the world title. That could be interesting. I'm not sure if the actual match would be great, but having Brock brawl with The Shield every week would be my favorite build to a match ever. It would be like watching a plane collide with a train while a helicopter full of gasoline tried to fly through a hoop of fire. If HHH would just watch some Freebirds stuff, making the Shield the modern-day Freebirds , you could have Ambrose or Reigns be a threat to the world title (Rollins is easily the Buddy Roberts of the group)- while being threats to the tag belts as well. Elevates everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Remember when John Morrison was "a lock to win the 40-man Royal Rumble"? Bahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 If Kofi won I would love to see the IWC meltdown Monday morning. It would probably be worse than Batista winning it. I think other parts of the net like Kofi. I know that Meltzer thinks and I quote: "...a good worker like Kingston" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I hope we get 40 minutes of Cesaro. Maybe he will giant swing someone over the top rope to eliminate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I hope we get 40 minutes of Cesaro. Maybe he will giant swing someone over the top rope to eliminate them. If El Torito gets in the Rumble instead of Los Matadores, you know this is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scraylo187 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Why is everyone so afraid of a potential rejuvenated Kofi push? I mean wasn't Kofi as popular as Daniel Bryan on this board at one point? The board can be wrong if he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 What about Mark Henry by the way? Is he actually injured or is he just selling the Brock Lesnar attack from a couple of weeks ago? If he's not really injured, I don't think we can rule him out for a Rumble appearance, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batista fits in there perfectly. Look he's fitting right now. WWE Universe: AHHHH you broke my Wrestlemania Main Event!

Kaptain Kayfabe Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Man I was watching the 1994 Rumble last night and it was awful. Too many tag team guys in there, and I fear this year will be the same. I'm all for bumping the thing up to 40 guys and getting everyone a PPV pay day, but if it's going to be 30 I'd rather see El Torito and AJ Lee enter the thing than the Prime Time Players.

twiztor Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 #24, whoever that may be. edit: i just watched the '97 rumble the other night, and i loved the luchadores (and Terry FunK!) being in there. you knew they had no chance, but it really livened it up. having a "hometown hero" be a surprise (or not-so-surprise) entrant every year would add some more excitement to it.

thee Reverend Axl Future Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Upon further reflection, predicting a RR winner is just wankery, albeit fun wankery. I will just say who I wish would be the last few eliminate and the remaining Winner: Steven Regal, Kevin Sullivan, all three Shield members, CM Punk, Atsushi Onita, Antonio Cesaro, Daniel Bryan and ENZO AMORE. from the heart, RAF p.s. - I may actually venture to the Dark Heart of Square Nerd-dom to watch the event, the Blast Zone known as The Fox & Hound, in Center of Hostile City, yow.

The Natural Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hoping the surprises are good ones. The 2001 Royal Rumble had them (Honky Tonk Man/The Big Show/HAKU) and the 2002 Royal Rumble though the latter were announced in advance on TV (Mr. Perfect/Goldust) before the Royal Rumble.

scraylo187 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 WWE.com's predictions feature Roman pretty heavily, which I thought was interesting. It also means nothing, but I thought it was sort of cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallacy! Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Reigns will no doubt be the guy who gets the most eliminations and probably will last to the final four. In fact, if Daniel Bryan is in fact not in the match, I could see a smarky Pittsburgh crowd throwing all their support behind Reigns at the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
