Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Had a look at the WWE roster page earlier and, because I'm that sad, tried to get 30 Rumble entrants out of the active/television regulars. They're gonna struggle unless they've got a good few returns and surprises lined up. They'd be absolutely buggered trying to do a 40-man this year. I'm also that sad, it's the kind of thing I love doing, so I'll give it a go.  1. John Cena 2. Dolph Ziggler 3. Sheamus 4. Antonio Cesaro 5. Randy Orton 6. Heath Slater 7. Drew McIntyre 8. Jinder Mahal 9. The Miz 10. Big E Langston 11. Ryback 12. Dean Ambrose 13. Seth Rollins 14. Roman Reigns 15. The Great Khali 16. Kofi Kingston 17. Wade Barrett 18. Justin Gabriel 19. Epico 20. Primo 21. Darren Young 22. Titus O'Neil 23. Kane 24. Daniel Bryan 25. Cody Rhodes 26. Damien Sandow 27. R-Truth 28. Tensai 29. Zach Ryder 30. Brodus Clay  Pretty easily done, although the middle seems a little weak with several tag teams, but they could fill up time with some good action and maybe even set up some feuds in the tag division. We've got Hell No/Rhodes Scholars doing double duty, but given how prominent all four are, can't imagine them not being in the Rumble. Same with Miz and Cesaro if they wind up working a US title match. Take out say 5 or 6 of the deadwood for the surprise entrants and it could be a strong Rumble. I think this year, all signs point towards Ryback winning the Rumble. Following that, it's Cena, but Cena already has a Rumble victory to his name, and there's a better way to get Cena to battle The Rock at Wrestlemania IMO, either through an Elimination Chamber or Vickie having him jump through hoops to get to The Rock. I think the world title match at Mania will either be Ryback vs. Show or Ryback vs. Ziggler. One of those years at the Rumble where there's not many good candidates to win, most of the top guys in it have already done it (Cena, Orton, Sheamus... and umm, yeah, not a very star studded Rumble this year, but I think the undercard makes up for that- we've got Rock for fuck's sake).

pol_pot_rick Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Does anyone know if a moratorium on using the WWF logo passed recently? I've seen the old WWF Attitude logo shown on SmackDown as well as online recently, unblurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted January 19, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 19, 2013 They reached a settlement, apparantly concluding that was simpler than the ballache of editing everything before launching a TV network (the one due some time in 2012.)

Jackpot Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Rock beats Punk. Â Undertaker wins the Rumble. Â Streak vs Title at Mania. Â Another of my far fetched ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Cena however dresses like a manchild and generally just looks idiotic. Â This has made me realise how much John Cena resembles the peplum hero, over the top infantile behaviour, an importance on incredible feats of strength, dresses like a pillock, etc. Cena is Steve Reeves or Reg Parks. Ziggler's the effeminate weak guy who spends too much time with the ladies and clearly isn't a real man. I don't know what that leaves Punk as, maybe the ugly dwarf.

hallicks Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Cena arranges shit to be dumped on Ziggler and AJ. Later, AJ makes weiner joke. Cena accuses AJ of being immature. Â Â Also I quite enjoyed some bloke in the crowd yelling "SUPER DRAGON!" during a quiet moment in a backstage bit on the 20th anniversary show.

Vamp Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I do think that if you're going to shout for an indy darling during a WWE show (and you're probably not because you're at least capable of reading this message showing basic cognitive function) then you could at least shout for someone relevant.

Slapnut Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I hardly think chanting "Kill Steen Kill" would get a different response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted January 21, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 21, 2013 I do think that if you're going to shout for an indy darling during a WWE show (and you're probably not because you're at least capable of reading this message showing basic cognitive function) then you could at least shout for someone relevant. Â If some one has shouted Super Dragon isn't it more likely to be a an in joke because of that bloke on Botchamania than really liking his ring work? Â I didn't see the show, but that was just the assumption I drew from the comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexy Dad Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Yeah the guy shouted it during a bit of silence, similar to the Botchamania clip of the guy shouting it in a silent room. Obviously it was a daft thing to do and he would have looked like an idiot but he has amused a fair few people on the Internet by the look of it.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted January 21, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 21, 2013 Yeah that Super Dragon thing seems to be a running joke with Botchamania. I don't think anyone actually still likes Super Dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
