    Johnny Knoxville should win Royal Rumble.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88,570 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Could the mods please merge threads if they can with new updated version



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88,570 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Taker is going be there, supporting Mrs. TAKER McCool in the RR or Hall of Fame announcement?



  • Registered Users Posts: 3 RickyKid93


    If Vince Russo was still around, that would definitely be a possibility! I am really curious to see what they do with Knoxville though. Maybe some sort of table bump or something? I'm sure he'll have to take some sort of punishment to promote his new Jackass movie.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,471 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So we have 22 of the men and 21 of the women announced.

    Seeing the pictures on Raw reminded me Shayna was still there.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88,570 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Will Veer return or finally "come" at the RR



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,401 ✭✭✭✭~Rebel~


    Have to assume so, right?! And then probably never be seen again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,984 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    I see Omos has been announced for the men's rumble, I presume they'll do that spot where everyone crowds around him and he throws his hands up in the air and everyone goes flying.

    Loads of good workers on the entrance list for the men's, should be a good one hopefully.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88,570 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I think Styles could be a good bet as winner as a lot of talk on twitter of Styles "debut" anniversary at RR

    Could Sikoa show up the RR, helping Reigns as USOs not allowed?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,984 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    I'd love to see it but I'd be shocked if it happened.

    For months he's been playing second fiddle to Omos, who's the absolute drizzling **** in my opinion. Think Omos squashed him on Raw a few weeks back too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,251 ✭✭✭Lewis_Benson


    Id say its going to be Big Boss Man this year....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,401 ✭✭✭✭~Rebel~


    Have a feeling it might go to Austin Theory.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,471 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Looking at the list of entrants, no one really jumps out as a definite winner. And that's a good thing. There are possibilities but may be able to pick out final 4 if they're not eliminated earlier. Same for the women.

    Any returns from injury that could happen? Maybe Corey for a bit?



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,211 ✭✭✭LineOfBeauty


    In preparation for this show I've watched absolutely 0 WWE programming in the last month and a bit, and because of there lack of buzz their TV stuff never penetrates my timeline, as such I have absolutely no read whatsoever on whose is going to win this thing. All of which I actually think will contribute to my enjoyment of watching this show with friends, I'll throw down a cheeky bet on whoever I feel Vince may have a soft spot for tomorrow morning when he wakes up. On one hand, kinda fun that practically anyone can win it as a one night thing. On the other, sad that they've prepped absolutely nobody to win this thing.

    So will Mickie come out to Hardcore Country or her WWE theme? I would assume the WWE theme but since she's representing Impact her Impact music is a possibility.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,875 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    Vince doesn't want anything hardcore or indeed country on WWE programming. I'm just thinking I've no idea who is likely to win the men's either. I think a returning Bayley or Asuka might win the women's. Or Ronda as an outside bet.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,775 ✭✭✭bmorrissey


    Have been very much out of the loop in regards to WWE but the rumble has drawn me back in for now. It seems to be pretty underwhelming so far in regards to entrants for both sides.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,306 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    Was just thinking hopefully Asuka comes back and wins the thing, as things stand the women's RR sounds like a potential **** show.



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 53,174 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    I think Bayley too tbh, I know she's rumoured to be out past Mania but we've heard that before (see Cena, John - 2008 as exhibit A). Men's has the potential to be either really good or really terrible depending on how Vince is feeling😂

    I think Sasha or Liv for women's

    I think Sasha resigned to have RR win and WM winning moment

    I'm hoping Styles or Cesaro for men's RR



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,306 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    The men's rumble seems a bit redundant to me which is depressing. Are Roman or Brock going to actually lose at Mania? Not a chance I feel.

    So I'd rather they didn't go the fan appeasement angle by giving it to AJ or Finn because ultimately it won't matter anyway.



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 53,174 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    I'd sooner have, say Brock lose the title tomorrow night cos of Roman. Lashley skips off with the WWE Title and Brock goes on to face Roman at Mania, and the winner of the Rumble challenges Lashley. Wishful thinking I know right?



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,306 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    That sounds like the best scenario we can hope for.

    It's a pity is all I'm saying, Rumble winner used to mean something.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88,570 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Ringside News reports that Shane McMahon is set to return at the Royal Rumble in St. Louis. Whenever someone like Shane is brought back for the Rumble, it usually leads to a storyline for WrestleMania but it’s not confirmed yet that he will be wrestling at Mania.

    Earlier today, RSN reported that Bad Bunny is set to be at the Rumble on Saturday. Also, there are rumors that Ronda Rousey and Kairi Sane will be involved in the Women’s Rumble match.

    I know it says spoilers in the title but is it possible to put unconfirmed names in spoiler tags?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,313 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Hey guys been away the last few days and absolutely jaded and completely out of touch for the rumble this year and I'm disappointed with myself for it haha

    Anyway hoping to try catch up on things and watch it live tomorrow



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88,570 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I hope spoiler tag amendment worked @CastorTroy and sorry



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,471 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Thanks. Was just thinking this close to the Rumble, rumours become more likely. Of course they could just be sites looking for clicks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88,570 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Paige also cleared to be in the RR match

    Anyone else agree that the Rumble is the best ppv of the year?

    'Mania can be a long slog to watch. With this the Rumble matches can at least be fun.



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 53,174 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    It's always the one I look forward to most. Sometimes the Mania build (actually a lot recently lol) can be tedious or convoluted but the Rumble usually has some decent surprises in the match at least.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,875 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    Yeah I usually enjoy it. Great that it's on a Saturday night too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,532 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    My favourite and the fact it’s on a Saturday night is a massive plus.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,215 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    Great the way it's a Saturday alright. Don't mean to sound like I want jam on it too but would have even been better if it was 12am main show start. Hear this officially goes on to 4:30am which can easily be a 4:45am finish in reality.

    Gonna be having a few drinks while watching it and wouldn't mind starting now. But would be wrecked by the end. The Americans don't know how great they have it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,178 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,471 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I see his entry on the Wikipedia WWE Personnel page has him listed as "Inactive; contract dispute".

    Anyway, on topic, I enjoy the Rumble as well since you know there's a new entrant coming every 90 seconds or whatever, which is why backloading it kind of takes the interest out of it.

    Knowing there are only 5 left to some out and they're 5 names you know are in it, usually with someone like Randy and 2 or 3 others of his level isn't as interesting. Saving a surprise or 2 for near the end is a good idea.

    Of course we'll have the usual ones rolling to the outside for half the match and nothing being done about it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,254 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    That's grand, Ali. One less jobber in and more chance of a surprise or something.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88,570 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I know it won't happen but I'd love Lita and Jeff Hardy to win the rumbles

    Many online think Heyman will help Reigns win, cost Lesnar his title so he enters and wins the men's rumble leading to Reigns vs. Lesnar at WM



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,471 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So it's midnight kickoff and 1am main show.

    Open and close with a Rumble match?

    Just watching women react to the 2019 Rumble




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,401 ✭✭✭✭~Rebel~


    That was a really fun watch, particularly Carmella and Zelina.

    Still can't figure out what's going on with Zelina's accent though - she sounds sort of Australian, but googling, it seems she's born and raised in the US. Is it just since she won the Crown, and it's an attempted British accent or something, or is it her natural voice?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,037 ✭✭✭Harryd225


    I remember back about 20 years ago when wrestling used to be cool, everyone used to watch it.

    Nowadays any adults who watch it generally keep it on the down low, I've tried watching it a few times over the last few years and it actually just makes me sad how bad it's gotten.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,471 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Yeah I think she's just going for the British royalty with the accent since she's a queen.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,492 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    Wrestling is still pretty fun......outside of wwe

    WWE sucks these days. But the rumble matches tonight should be decent. Wwe has changed alot over the last twenty years. All for the worse.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,471 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Might watch a bit of the preshow before bed, but hope everyone enjoys the event overall. Will check in after I watch tomorrow.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,215 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    miz and maryse wrestling gear is gonna look quite dated as time goes by. Its very tacky as it is now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,215 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    Geez, it's already been 6 years since Aj Styles debuted. I remember that night. Where is the time going?



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,417 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    I'm gonna try stay up for some of it but I'm already sleepy and haven't even started 😂
