[goodhelmet]

Here's the card...

 

Pre Show:

Cody Rhodes & Goldust vs. New Age Outlaws

 

PPV:

Daniel Bryan vs. Bray Wyatt

Big Show vs. Brock Lesnar

John Cena vs. Randy Orton

Royal Rumble Match (Batista Wins)

 

 

Predictions in bold.

[KrisZ]

Give me the Rhodes Boys, Wyatt, Brock, Orton, & Bryan to win the Rumble.

[Exposer]

I agree with Will across the board. I'm playing it safe tonight on predictions.

[hammerva]

Yeah I would say it is 90% certain that Batista is winning the rumble. Would love to see something different but I don't see it. The real interest are the 4 or 5 surprises tonight

[Dylan Waco]

Let's go beyond the safe zone.

 

"Surprise entrants" - I will go with Sheamus, Evan Bourne, Taker, Bryan and Jake. Some of those are reasonably safe, some of them not so much.

 

Most Eliminations - Reigns will win this, but Big E. might come close.

 

"Iron Man" - This will be Punk

 

30th Entrant - Undertaker

 

Final Five - Goldust, Punk, Reigns, Batista, Taker

 

I have flipped and flopped all over on who I think will win, but right this second I will go with Taker. The key prediction here is that I also predict I will be wrong

[KrisZ]

I'm hoping Sting shows up but I'm sure Jericho, Nash, & possibly Waltman will be in there

[Dylan Waco]

God I forgot about Nash

[goodhelmet]

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Pittsburgh usually one of the more subdued crowds?

[hammerva]

If by "subdued" you mean they hardly give a shit then you would be right

[Loss]

When I saw on Twitter that Nash had dyed his hair, my first thought was "He's working the Rumble".

[hammerva]

Ric Flair calling Daniel Bryan a whiner?

[Grimmas]

I am watching the preshow and I am confused. I haven't watched in a few weeks, but I thought The Outlaws turned heel on Punk? Why are they doing all the babyface stuff tonight?

[Loss]

Vince did recently say there are no faces and heels anymore.

[goodhelmet]

I got 2 words for you.... GOLDUST SENTON

 

 

And fuck commercials on a PPV.

[hammerva]

I don't know I seem to remember the Outlaws doing the same gimmick whether people hated them or loved them

 

I love watching Golddust do these "indy" moves on WWE shows like a Canadian destroyer. Most of them they are slow but solid. At this rate Goldy will start doing a shooting star press

[KrisZ]

OLD HEROES

[benj]

Fuck HHH.

[goodhelmet]

Well fuck... 0-1.

 

Match was fun but way too short. For the Rhodes brothers to lose in this match but survive all the other wars, shit just ain't fair.

[Dylan Waco]

Well that was awful. Far worse than any alleged burial of Daniel Bryan. I'm already pissed I paid for this show

[Grimmas]

I don't know if I can make it through this ppv. I know I was ready to be disappointed, but in the pre-show? Come on!

[Exposer]

Rhodes Brothers vs. New Age Outlaws -

 

Shitty way to have the Rhodes' lose the tag belts. As far as the match goes, it was fun. Cody and Goldust did some of their signature spots and Billy Gunn threw good punches.

[tim]

Depressingly unceremonious end to one of the best things that had been going in wrestling in years.

[hammerva]

I really hope that the Rhodes family is winning it back on RAW tomorrow because as good as they have looked they aren't going to have a solid run like the Rhodes did of great matches

 

Actually what really disappoints me is that the only surprise the whole night probably just happened

[Badlittlekitten]

Fuck HHH.

??

 

 

I have know problem with the Outlaws getting the straps at all. The Uso's beating them at Mania will be a good moment.

[DR Ackermann]

Wow. Losing that quick and clean to a washed up team like the Outlaws not only makes the Rhodes look bad, but everyone else in the tag division who couldn't get the job done in the last few months.
