Ronda Rousey will enter and win the women’s rumble in my opinion.

I’m not sure about 2 Rumble matches on one card if I’m honest. They don’t have enough relevant women to fill the match.

TBH, they dont have enough relevant men to fill a match...
 
Seen a clip the other day of Steph training so I wouldn't be surprised if she made herself an entrant or the last one.
Be good if they can get a couple of the likes of Trish, Lita, Torrie, Stacy in as a Rumble match isn't the same without some nostalgia.

Sadly my 10 year old has become a bit of a fan

I’ve gotten us tickets for a show in Dublin next year http://3arena.ie/artist/wwe-live1/2169

What are the chances there will be big names? And can anyone confirm if alcohol is served in wwe events?

Should be all the big names there, injuries permitting. Who does he like that he wants to be there?

Not sure know about beer. Last went to a show about 7 years ago and I think they served it.

You wont get any part timers except for triple H if youre lucky, doubt it though. That means no Lesnar or Cena. If reports are to be believed today, might not have Orton either.

Ful timers should all be there, injuries permitting. Beer was available at both shows I went to in Cardiff this year.

You’ll get most of the superstars there mate.

It will depend on whether the venue usually sells alcohol. I’ve seen WWE multiple times at the O2, Wembley and in Brighton and have always bought food and alcohol.
 
Bayley to belly is surely the worst finisher in WWE. “ooh no, I’m winded!!”

It honestly just fuels this hatred I have growing for her character.

Foley's Mandible Claw, Booker T's kick are proper joke. Even Attitude Adjustment is really a weak finisher.

Definitely agree on Mick Foley's being one of the worst.
Also Scotty Too Hotty's Worm, I would even add the Crossface variations as most of the time it's just holding hands under your nose.
My favourite finisher is the Canadian Destroyer by Petey Williams.

At least the Attitude Adjustment is somewhat impactful (even if one is never enough in big matches).

I hate recycled finishers, there was a time when seemingly every new wwe wrestler used the Overdrive (Randy Orton/MVPs original finisher) and thats an awful move.
 
So 30 woman Royal Rumble.... I feel like betting my house on it that Rousey is in it now because they don’t have 30 woman on the roster unless NXT is involved.

Trish Stratus
Nikki Bella
Brie Bella
Ronda Rousey

Anyone think of any others? there should be something like 10 more to come from somewhere, because 4 of The now roster will surely be missing for title fights. I think on both shows there are 21-22 female members.

Would be intresting if Asuka throws Ronda over the top then setting up a Ronda match which would then end the streak. However WWE Just had her beat Alexa clean so you would think that makes her the number 1 contender, however she is already entered in the royal rumble.

Just imagine the pop when this music hits at number 30

They need Rousey at number 30. Just go in eliminate everybody. then 30 comes out, Stephanie goes face to face with her and dominates Rousey and throws her over like garbage.
 
Bliss is a throwback to the 2005-08 Divas. Utter shite and she makes anyone in there with her look shite by association.

It's a RAW show, so you will get most the names from RAW. http://www.wwe.com/wwe-live-dublin-1 They have Dean Ambrose listed, but he's out for 9 months.

There is a Smackdown show in Germany the same day, so they won't be at your one.

TBH she's improved a lot in the ring, and she's probably one of the better girls on the mic and she's nailed her character. She's obviously got some issues with taking contact though, she did break her nose a few times at NXT, so probably worried about that.

None of these were issues at the time tbh. Dont remember anybody really complaining about it or it affecting the matches (even last night ones). It wasnt blatantly obvious.

I thought last night's match was terrible and there were two dropkicks that were hugely obvious where she completely whiffed them.

She's been in the business for four years. She performs better than some that have been in double that. I think it's clear she still needs to work on some stuff (a key one being her timing of taking strikes/offense. She anticipates the move and goes too early at times) but ultimately she's had some good matches during her time on the main roster and is still learning. Character wise she's brilliant and one of the best female talkers they have. Her strengths make up for her weaker areas. Improved a lot last year.

Doesn't the Claw have some scientific backing to it?

(One google session later)

This nerve hold which was known as the "mandibular nerve pinch," was first used in the 1960s by osteopathic physician-turned-wrestler Sam Sheppard. However, the hold is far more identified with Mankind, who often put a sock (which he called "Mr. Socko") or brown glove covering the two fingers used on his hand before using the move.

The Mandible Claw is something of an odd submission-style maneuver, mainly because it is one of only a handful of moves that can legitimately be applied to one's self. Foley's character Mankind once demonstrated this ability when, in a match against Ken Shamrock, Foley applied the hold against himself. The deranged Mankind did this in order to save face by causing himself to black-out instead of submitting to Shamrock's finishing submission hold, the Ankle Lock.

The move is also often met with the question "Why don't I just bite your goddamn fingers off?", famously asked by famed wrestling promoter and former Vice President of World Championship Wrestling Bill Watts when Foley first suggest using the move in his matches. This is often answered with the implication that the move is a nerve hold making it near impossible for the opponent to move their jaw let-alone bite down on the attacking wrestler.

Enough of your blasphemy :lol: I won’t have a bad word said about her. She’s on the same skill level as AJ Styles.:wenger:

But yeah she did fluff some shots on Monday. She isn’t the best technician in there, she is much improved and now she is more heal she has changed her move set. I think she is one of the best pace setters and storytellers in the woman’s division, it’s a bit like Paige, she just has good charisma and story telling timing. As where Sasha has a lot of skill in the ring but is horrible at telling the story of a match.

Isn't Rousey shooting a movie in Columbia or something during the Rumble? On top of that she hasn't even signed yet I don't think.

Why would they release the info that she has signed? The point is that it’s a surprise entry. Release that info and it spoils the surprise. Yeah she is filming mile 22 but I’m sure they can work round her schedule for a 10 minute segment if that.
