re: WWE Royal Rumble Thread / 6 PM / Preshow 4 PM / WWEN

Takeover WM Weekend is gonna be ridiculous with I presume Black/Almas, Ciampa/Gargano, a bigass Sanity/Undisputed Era brawl, Shayna winning the women's title (she impressed the hell out of me last night), and probably a UK championship match of some sort.

Gotta find a way to get Dream on the show (shite, run Dream/Dunne), but that card is gonna be incredible.

All Canadians win
Seth JJA
Azuka eliminates Rousey start fued
Uso’s

Looks like the women's Rumble might be closing the show too.

Zero percent chance this happens.

Is it worth starting to make picks now or should i just wait til after WM?

I wasn't a big fan of that one.

I love the one that starts with Daniel Puder getting his arse whooped by Holly, Benoit and Eddie just watches and squirms. That whole Rumble had great little stories like that. 05, maybe?

---

the '11 Rumble's only real surprise entrants I think were Diesel and Booker T

with 40 spots you'd think there would've been more surprises in there

would like to change this to Roode pins Ziggler
