Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 3, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luther Reigns is in on that beatdown with other lads. Luther fucking Reigns 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. Â 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.

sj5522 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 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.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 3, 2017 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 3, 2017 It's interesting that the first person eliminated is always from the first five entrants. Well, maybe replace 'interesting' with 'obvious' but truly it does not bode well for you if you get an early number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
