Can a mod delete the one I started.

My guess is that AA got thru until the end when either

a) The Uso's win by cheating

b) The Revival debut

Agent Coulson

Tag team turmoil is going to a complete cluster fcuk.

I can see AA run through all the teams , minus the Uso's fairly quickly.

Just a portion. I bet there will be 3 female matches after last night (havent watched yet) Id also guess Harper v Orton as well as Crews v Ziggler

PTH2009

full card

Women's Title: Alexa Bliss v Naomi

Becky Lynch vs Mickie James

Apollo Crews & Kalisto vs Dolph Ziggler

Luke Harper vs Randy Orton

World Title match, Becky vs Mickie James and Harper vs Orton the standouts. 2 on 1 handicap match could be good but dolph will prob run riot with his chair, other matches meh

Not sure if this is what you mean, but...

Two teams start. When one team gets beaten, they leave and another comes in. Keep going till all teams have come out and fought.

I'm kind of hoping AA run through everyone, think they've won and then BAM! Revival.

I'd be surprised if Orton/Harper doesn't get added at some point. I'd presume one of those women's matches will be pre-showed.

Chamber should be great, given people involved. Just wish it didn't look so, so painfully obvious who's winning...

JP Liz V1

So only 1 chamber match?

Yup.

CastorTroy

I think Ziggler match and Nikki/Nattie will be preshow.

Not a lot on the card interests me, to be honest. Chamber match, Becky and maybe Harper/Orton.
Harper has to show what he can do as a singles guy now if he'd going to have a decent run and become a contender. And he has to look good while losing. He'll probably tidy himself up as well, though don;' know when

CSF

With such a thin PPV card (so many of the upper card talents in the one match) they absolutely need to do something with the tag match to make it notable.

chopperbyrne

Three womens singles matches, each with their own story.

Certainly progress.

It'd be very hard for them to do, but I'd love to see the women have matches in a smaller ring, certainly one with shorter ropes.

Would make it much easier for them.

PTH2009

Anyone think Erik Rowan will interfere In the EC match and help bray win the title ?? He will also attack Harper who trys to cost bray the match

Mania we have Harper vs Erik Rowan and Orton vs Wyatt

Agent Coulson

Just realised this was on tonight I have said it before and I'll say it again it's PPV overkill right now from the WWE.

Lithium93_

I can't be arsed watching it live, college stuff taking priority right now, so I'll just read through here tomorrow morning.

CastorTroy

Will watch tomorrow evening. Like you, I forgot clean about it.

Same here, but I'll make an hour somewhere tomorrow for the Elimination Chamber itself, could go a couple of ways

jaykhunter

I just....can't do a PPV every 2 weeks. It's asking too much! On top of 5 hours of RAW/SD!

johnnyryan89

Think they could do us all a favour and stick the chamber match on first, only thing worth watching on this PPV unless the Revival decide to make an appearence in the tag match.

cian68

Not watching any of the TV makes these PPVs a breeze. Every couple of weeks I get to enjoy what is usually a pretty decent WWE show.

CastorTroy

You think the returning Mickie will get the win to show she was worth bringing back or will Becky get the win? I hope if Becky loses that it's due to shenanigans.

Mr.Nice Guy

I won't be watching live either. I think 2 events between Rumble and Mania is 1 too many.

I am curious what happens in the Ziggler handicap match which may be the worst booked storyline of the year so far. Will the heel overcome the odds and beat the two babyfaces - burying them both in the process - or will the two babyfaces prevail, doing absolutely nothing for them in the process? Fascinating.

DM_7

Hopefully Apollo goes heel and teams up with Dolph. They could be brilliant v Gable and Jordan.

FFS man, there's a betting thread could you not have kept odds in there? They're usually right and seeing this is bloody annoying

Mod Edit: removed betting odds

The Ayatolla

Orton was 1/25 to win the Rumble a few hours before it started so they're definitely spot on.

Lithium93_

Lads spoiler tags on odds, some of us like the surprise/not knowing element.

CastorTroy

Going by the prediction thread, Mojo's fighting Hawkins? How is that not the main event?

I agree on the betting odds. The Orton odds were posted in the Rumble thread to let everyone know he was favourite to win

Yeah, and it's far better that way too. It's nice to see that WWE's finally taking care to avoid overusing their novelty match concepts. Makes them more exciting.

Apologies won't ever post in thread again unsubsidised.

Be like that if you want but the odds are a clear indicator of who's going to win, it's why I stayed offline completely from the Tuesday before the Rumble and with good reason too, thought it would be safe since there's feck all interest in this event

The Ayatolla

Spoilers below:

Biggest surprise is Naomi winning the belt I guess?

Winners:
Bray Wyatt, American Alpha, Naomi, Randy Orton, Becky Lynch, Kalisto/Crews

Don't quote me then moan just ask me to delete it am sick of the backseat modify in the very infrequent times I do post on here, I am done with the wrestling forum thanks for ruining a long time posters experience.

So I'm not allowed tell you that you may have just ruined the main event for me and probably several others? You could obviously see from the ridiculous odds that it's clear indicator of what's going to happen, you could have just shown a bit more consideration for others since it's such an indicator

Are betting odds really that accurate?

Have a look at the odds yourself and then ask yourself that question when the event is over

Will do. Some of them line up with my predictions so it'll be interesting.

Mr.Nice Guy

The odds aren't always 100 per cent. Often they will throw in a result that people didn't see coming. I wouldn't be shocked if Vince books a Cena win since many expect a different outcome - then have Cena drop the title in a week or two.

I've no issue with someone posting the odds. I would have thought it was obvious who the favourite was considering who they have had Orton feuding with the last few months, plus the fact they gave away Cena and Orton for free on TV - with a finish. You don't need to be Paddy Power to work it out.

Yeah, it kinda became obvious immediately after the Rumble that they were building up to an Orton/Wyatt feud. I wouldn't be surprised if they turned it into a triple threat with Luke Harper for the WWE Championship at Mania and he ended up winning.

jaykhunter

Mod note: Please don't post betting odds outside of the betting thread. Even if storylines may be heading that way, odds are usually pretty accurate and so is crummy to see ahead of the event.

I didn't know the OSW guy moderated this board. Pretty cool.

Angron

Oh hey, new EC design? Looks more square than I remember (unless it looked like that last time and I just blanked on it).

Andersonisgod

I'm not complaining about Becky's outfit but I'm really not sure about it.

Andersonisgod

Pretty good opener, fairly solid work, shame about the positioning off the bump from the Mick Kick kinda spoiled that false finish.

Yeah at this stage she surely should have standard ring gear. She seems to change it slightly all the time.

Angron

RIP those panels.

Angron

Pretty crap match really. Nice for Kalisto to overcome the odds to win a handicap match (it's impossible to buy the "he has heart" stuff when it's 2 on 1 in his favour).


Okay, I love the crowd chanting "1 more time" for Dolph to wreck Apollo's ankle. It makes sense too, the crowd have no reason to cheer Apollo. He was brought up with no character, and in all the time he's been on the main roster he still hasn't progressed past "smiles a lot".
