The Natural Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Looking forward to The Shield's debut in the Royal Rumble match. Reigns is gonna have a big run in this. I'd like to see some Cesaro swings as well.
J.T. Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Yeah, it's Batista's match to lose. Catapults him into a title shot and also promotes summer release of Guardians of the Galaxy. Would be interesting to watch WWE go another route to the self-fulfulling prophecy by having Batista get dumped in the first two minutes and then keep everyone guessing until he won a MITB match. Dave will get the title at Wrestlemania and drop it at either Summerslam (just in time to do the morning talks to promote the movie), the RAW or Smackdown after SS, or the first PPV where it made booking sense for him to lose the belt.

RIPPA Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Bad News Barrett @WadeBarrett 1h I've given up my spot in this year's #RoyalRumble to make way for a WWE legend. It's top secret, but just between us, here's a clue: Voodoo.
jaedmc Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Just in time to fuck the Warrior up before the Hall of Fame ceremony. 3
RandomAct Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 OMG ITZ HOGAN! Better surprise.... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2hisj_wcw-yeti-a-halloween-havoc-95_news
Go2Sleep Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Papa Shango would be too obvious now, right? Boogeyman, maybe? Can Sullivan still move?
Bustronaut Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I had to slowly explain to someone why there's no way Hogan would be in the Rumble ever again. "Yeah, but wouldn't it be great as a surprise?" "He physically cannot be eliminated due to his health, he'd would be the winner by default, like when the Sheik won the gimmick battle royal" "Yeah but just think how cool it'd be!"
Skeeball Wizard Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Barrett teases a Papa Shango appearance on Twitter every year before the Rumble. I do however, hope this is boy who cried wolf being right now that its been done so many times.
RIPPA Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 There are so many threads going on this might have been covered elsewhere but this really probably is the most appropriate place. I guess Bryan was doing foreign media today and he was asked about if he was going to be in the Rumble. And his kayfabe answer was something like "I am trying to get in but Triple H is trying to prevent me from being in it." So there is that.
Gorman Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I had to slowly explain to someone why there's no way Hogan would be in the Rumble ever again. "Yeah, but wouldn't it be great as a surprise?" "He physically cannot be eliminated due to his health, he'd would be the winner by default, like when the Sheik won the gimmick battle royal" "Yeah but just think how cool it'd be!" The only way Hogan could win is if they do the finish I've been begging for: All 29 guys are out before No. 30 just walks in and wins the Rumble. You could do it with Hogan (poses, blows up Internet), Goldberg or Sting. The latter two could say, "I'm not going for the title, I want The Undertaker!" Everyone would be going so crazy that it would overshadow the fact that they didn't really throw anyone out to win the Rumble.
RonL21 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Suuure. "Kayfabe answer." i enjoyed this post a little too much 1
Bustronaut Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 It's interesting that the graphic said the winner gets a "championship match" not specifically a unified/WWE/world match
BEN! Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I miss this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MAUwQ3Wkn0 I want snarky prick Triple H to do one of these this year, "30 WWE Superstars compete in this year's Royal Rumble for the opportunity to challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 30! Participants include: CM Punk, The Ryback, Erick Rowan of The Wyatt Family, Darren Young of The Prime Time Players, "The All-American American" Real American Jack Swagger, Damien Sandow, Diego of Los Matadores, Prime Time Player Titus O'Neil, Shield guy Seth Rollins, From The Wyatt Family Luke Harper, One of "The Hounds Of Justice" Dean Ambrose of The Shield, "The Ultimate Underdog" Rey Mysterio, Fandango, Kofi Kingston, Bunkhouse Buck, Curtis Axel, Cody Rhodes, Antonio Cesaro of The Real Americans, An Uso, Goldust, El Torito, Xavier Woods, Big E Langston, Los Matadores Dieg...no, I said him already, uh, Tito?, The Miz, Alberto Del Rio, The Yeti, R-Truth, Another Uso, Roman Reigns of The Shield, and "The Animal" Batista! All of these Superstars along with some surprises but not Daniel Bryan are ready to rumble! It's the Royal Rumble! 5
JonnyLaw Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Y'all always get me with "an Uso". At least this year, "Another Uso" got in. 1
Curt McGirt Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I'm watching Inside MMA, and it would be great to have Ken Shamrock to show up in the Rumble. Then maybe have him kill some jobbers, cut some promos and get crushed by Lesnar for him to get heat back over a loss. Ken also has some great and totally carny blag these days and I think if Bas wasn't there (and would fucking destroy him) he'd probably have his position on the show. Those Shamrock brothers, they know how to talk shit. 1
Web Conn Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Add my name to the "Ben needs to book a wrestling promotion" petition.
The Green Meanie Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 No Barrett in the Rumble? That is bad news.
TerjeRUN Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Wade has stated he's stepping out of the Rumble for a legend to take his spot. The clue was voodoo. The notion that a wrestler would give up his chance to fight for a title shot at Wrestlemania for ANYBODY to take their place is pretty stupid. If I were Wade, I'd really start speaking up for myself more, consequences be dammed.
TheVileOne Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 F4W is saying its Sheamus vs. Bryan at WrestleMania, so maybe he won't be in the Rumble this year.
The Z Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 F4W is saying its Sheamus vs. Bryan at WrestleMania, so maybe he won't be in the Rumble this year. Third time's the charm? That seems highly unrealistic. I doub't Sheamus will come back as a heel and there's no way Daniel Bryan will turn heel. 1
Libs Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 PWInsider/Johnson is the one reporting the Bryan/Sheamus match, not F4W/Alvarez.
