jonnybgoode82 Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Anyone think they will do two Rumbles this year with the brand split? Just done a little mathematics and if they have some guys pull double duty, throw in some cruiserweights to the RAW side and some special guests to the SD side then they can make 30 guys for each brand. In fact I could see them doing three Rumbles and having a Women's one with everyone not a champion in it. They could easily pull off a 15-woman Rumble. With it being the Alamodome and likely to be a marathon event on the WWE Network, I could see it being something they do to really hammer the Rumble concept into the ground,
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted December 28, 2016 Paid Members Posted December 28, 2016 I was pondering this earlier. It'd be one way to keep the Survivor Series as the only place Raw & Smackdown wrestlers can wrestle each other, but then each rumble would have some absolute nobodies involved in it.
PSF Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 I think a more likely scenario would be a women's rumble on Raw to set up Barley vs Charlotte at the RR PPV.
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted December 28, 2016 Paid Members Posted December 28, 2016 Maybe it'll be like 2004 when the Rumble was on Smackdown the Thursday following the Rumble PPV that was won by Eddie. I can't for the life of me remember why they didn't have one at the Royal Rumble PPV, though.

I can't for the life of me remember why they didn't have one at the Royal Rumble PPV, though. That was because Beniot won it in 04 and was on smackdown at the time, he then defected to raw so smackdown had there own mini rumble on tv to crown there own number 1 contender, this set up that belting Eddie/Brock match at no way out.

Ben who? I think you've missed the joke. It was a great run into that year's Mania though.
TildeGuy~! Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Anyone seen Rusev on Xavier Woods' gaming channel? He's named himself Roman Reigns because he never loses. Brilliant.
King Pitcos Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 I love Rusev in these videos. Kofi at the end of his game with Rusev was so good as well. Has Woods ever had Anderson and Gallows on this? I dunno what their gaming is like, but they're a million times better on podcasts and YouTube messabouts than they are at wrestling shows, so this could be a way to get them over with at least a few more WWE viewers.
Really Big Shoe Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Now Mike Goldberg is leaving the UFC are WWE interested in bringing him in again?. I think him and Mauro on SmackDown would be good or they could replace Cole and have Mike as the lead announcer on Raw. Otherwise I'm guessing he'll likely turn up at Bellator.
Paid Members GlennCullen Posted January 1, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 1, 2017 Cole isn't going anywhere, surely? They offered him a truck load of money before, doubt he'd get any where near that now though. He took a dump on his one NFL game as well, didn't he? Poor Goldy.
dopper Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Anyone seen Rusev on Xavier Woods' gaming channel? He's named himself Roman Reigns because he never loses. Brilliant. I'm looking forward to the inevitable Neville vs Rusev final in that FIFA tournament more than I have any WWE matches for quite a while.
Porkchopcash Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Woman, in her prime was possibly the best looking valet ever. (Nancy). She ever wrestle? Strange pick in men like.
WyattSheepMask Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 She didn't have many matches. She was part of a mixed tag Singapore Cane match in ECW in 94 (with Sandman vs Peaches & Cairo), and had some sort of strap match against Jaquelene in WCW in 97
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 2, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 2, 2017 Just listening to the Sunny episode of Something To Wrestle With and of course the subject of Ron Simmons coming to the WWF in 1996 comes up. Conrad asks Bruce why, when they brought Simmons in as Faarooq and paired him with Sunny, why they had Ron wear that goofy blue gladiator helmet. And Bruce said it was to hide Ron's receding hairline and make him look younger. I love that. It can't be the real reason, can it? There were way worse receders than Ron Simmons' over the years. Fuck, Hulk Hogan was the biggest star in wrestling for decades and he looked 50 when he was in his late 20s. I just love the idea that Simmons would see the baby blue gladiator helmet as the preferable and less embarrassing option over letting the world see he was going a bit thin on top.
