    A case of beer, a couple dozen stunners and a hell yeah..... oh wait that was someone else.

    Well if sheamus could wear a 5:15 tee, I'm sure they can have Reigns do the beers, stunners, routine

    By having Vince get knocked out and another ref coming in to do the count. Or just have it thrown out as a non contest with no real reason why.

    This is gonna be car crash television, Reigns to retain via Tater Tots, I uh mean by DQ when LoN jump him and Vince gets knocked down during said melee, and Stephanie emasulates the living daylights out of him with multiple slaps, another Ref hoofs it to the ring, oh and a cameo by Dean Ambrose during the title match to boot

    LON to become more insignificant tonight.

    Seen as we're guessing how it goes tonight, heres my scenario:

    Vince gets knocked out, Reigns covers, crowd counts to about 7, New ref is in the ring, 1, 2, HHH runs to ringside, drags new ref out and lays him out, HHH pedigrees Reigns, drags sheamus over him, Vince is awake now, and with the slowest count ever, we get to 2, Ambrose appears from nowhere, stops the count, Ambrose and Reigns go at it with Sheamus and HHH, LON appear now, its 4-2, do do do do do, Joooooohn Cena is on the way, to help Reigns and Ambrose clear the ring as we go off the air.

    I am so, so, so sick and tired of seeing babyfaces being made look like chumps by Stephanie. It is beyond ridiculous at this point.

    Can you imagine that segment that just occurred happening with Brock Lesnar? No. He's one of the few stars they have left. Funny that. Almost as if there's a connection.

    I thought these guys were supposed to be 'superstars'. A superstar does not fear getting the sack, or get bitched at constantly and told they are totally expendable.

    Ugh. It's not worth getting upset about at this point. Same old, same old.

    I find Ambrose very annoying.

    Same, thought I was the only one. He had me interested back in 2014 during his feud with Rollins but he's so stale now.

    Yep, gimmick seems to be make puns and lose.

    Ric Flair makes my skin crawl.

    New Day and Y2J, I've been dreaming of this!


  • Registered Users Posts: 838 ✭✭✭A Rogue Hobo


    Did anyone notice the camera just caught Vince trying to discreetly flip off the crowd?

    Leading the PG Era by example: Vinny Mac.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,116 ✭✭✭Professional Griefer


    WHY PIN HIM YOU PUNCHED THE ****ING REF???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,220 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Why the hell does Reigns look surprised? He does realise he just knocked out the ref.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,220 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    HHH time?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,220 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Wow, what a mess that was. A clusterfúck of epic proportions.

    Best part was Steph jiggling down to the ring.

    Edit: Interesting twist thrown in at the end though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,475 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Oh great, now they've ruined the Rumble match again this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,116 ✭✭✭Professional Griefer


    HOLY ****!!

    edit: Reigns to win anyways then beat Rock at WM?

    I was watching without sound as watching without sound is pretty hilarious as it looks stupid. But what did Vincent say at the end?

    The title is on the line in the Rumble

    They've ruined the Rumble. One of the few highlights of the year, and they've ruined it

    They've made the Rumble very straight forward again. Guarantee Lesnar wins by last eliminating Reigns (due to Triple H interference).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,542 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Raw would have been good if it wasn't for the typical Reigns ****e. It's like they're actively trying to out****e the previous weeks opening promo.

    It's ok though. Next week Brock is back to save us all. Genuinely think we are gonna see a Reigns heelturn at Rumble which is the only way him winning the Rumble again is remotely acceptable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,689 ✭✭✭sky88


    So im guessing roman will be the first entrant and go all the way untill hes eliminated by hhh. I just hope its not a hhh title win or roman overcoming the odds again from the number 1 entrant.

    I was looking forward to the rumble asit wasnt obvious who was the winner, i guess its just going to be the centered around roman overcoming the odds. Could be the 3rd disappointing rumble in a row :(

    Impressive. They waited until the Rumble to ruin the match the last two years, getting in early I see.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,882 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Ah jaysus, my favourite ppv match of the year, ruined for the 2nd year in a row, if he wins, he wins, and if he loses, he'll probably go on to win it back at mania, most likely against Lesnar.

    I'm surprised the reaction is that this has ruined the Rumble; I marked a little for the announcement and am super excited now for the match (mind, I always am, as its my favorite match of the year).

    I think it makes the Rumble match pretty interesting, in that now we're not looking at someone to face Reigns at Mania (which made a few people ineligible to win) but looking at crowning a champion. That opens the field a lot. You could have Brock or Cena, the super obvious. You could go with a Tier two guy who hasn't been lined up for a 1 vs 1 feud, but can now get the title without hurting/facing Reigns. Given it's potentially only till Mania, it could go on anyone, from Jericho to Ambrose to Owens. Or imagine a surprise Bryan return in which he wins the title!

    I really like the title being defended in the Rumble. Unlike other years, it's not painfully obvious now who is going to win imo.

    Given their booking patterns for years now this is really naive imo.

    Roman going over 4 guys at once wasn't enough, have him go over 29 dammit!

    They've made the Rumble all about one man and the entire Rumble now will be whether he can "overcome the odds" and then he either wins, or gets screwed.

    It's so tedious, artificial and I couldn't give a ****.

    Horrendous company.
