Tried to change it up a bit this year - mostly as a result of having to rebuild my data. Huge credit to Harmonic Generator who pulled all the age related data last year. There is a little bit of leeway required with the weights and ages. Early January birthdays will cause a slight discrepancy. Also, I only hold one weight. So Yokozuna is heavier than he should be in 1993, etc.

Statistics rule. Nice one, rick. Looking forward to it this year, the winner's (for the time being at least) totally up in the air and it should be entertaining as hell with Brock and Goldie in there

You might want to edit that last paragraph chief, they all seem to be for 2009.

(EDIT- hang on, I think I mis-read it originally- assuming there was no way Duggan would've been in the 2009 Rumble...)

 

Tremendous post as per usual Rick, WrestleMania season has truly kicked off now.

That spot with Hassan where everyone stops what they're doing and teams up to kick some Arab-American ass is mental, I'd like to think the world's a vaguely (only vaguely) nicer place today. Luther Reigns is in on that beatdown with other lads. Luther fucking Reigns

 

why did it take 4 to eliminate Morrison in 2011?

Watched that last year when I trawled through every Rumble for data. It's one of the most uncomfortable parts of any Rumble. They only thing that comes close is Daniel Puder getting a shoe-in from Bob Holly and Psycho bollocks.

 

why did it take 4 to eliminate Morrison in 2011?

Didn't need four but was during that bit where the new Nexus are just dominating the Rumble.

I didn't mind the Puder spot that much really, found it funny just in an "oh, wrestling.." way, and I think someone here put it better before but Holly's salivating face as he's coming to the ring at getting to beat on a rookie makes me piss tbh. Hilarious. by far the best thing Holly's ever done

 

by most accounts Puder had a really foul attitude and thought he was the shit so that locker room was always gonna eat him up sooner or later

 

that Hassan spot belongs in the '80s though. Unreal
