Television Tho Prop Grops Throps

I’m in work at 6.... tempted to get some sleep now then watch it live and go straight to work after. Probs not the best idea but I love the Rumble.
 
After the drizzling shits that was Raw 25, I'm being wildly optimistic on the surprises front in the hope that WWE will atone for such a disappointing show.

Oh, I just took mine from the page before (albeit they were predicting Takeover too). To add in your additional questions, I'll go - number 27 = Shinsuke Nakamura and length of time of 'Ironman' (Elias in my predictions) = 48 minutes.
 
I was trying to think of the last Rumble match I enjoyed and couldn't remember who won in '06. It was Rey! How could I forget?! The last one that I thought was probably a decent watch was '07, though, so I'm not expecting much tonight.

I wish more Rumbles were like the '01 one. That had to be the best one ever.
 
I'm thinking of starting my Network membership up again to watch this tonight.
 
Made a couple of edits to my predictions.

I also have a feeling Undertaker will make an appearance towards the end and cost both Reigns and Cena the match.

Reckon Ziggler returns tonight. Also have a feeling the King comes in. His clothing is a bit of a giveaway imo
 
Can't take this match seriously. There's literally no one in the arena.
 
If Askua wins the womens rumble and miz wins the mens it actually makes sense and seeing as wwe aren't particularly creative i could see it happening. Should i stick a tenner on 33/1? :nervous:

EDIT: the last time i ignored a hunch at 33/1 Lesnar ended the streak.

Surprised Brock was 33/1.
How are you getting on watching every PPV on the network?

Sorry I meant it as how far have you got in watching them all. A few months ago you said that we’re going try and watch them all

Oh :lol:.

I made it to Royal Rumble '92 but then i transferred to days and didn't have the same time i had before. I still intend to go through them all but it's going to take a lot longer.

Though, considering his history, maybe it's best he stays away from the Rumble!

I think with a super hot philly crowd, he is entering at number 30. If that happens it will come down to him and nakamura imo as even wwe aren't stupid enough to eliminate him unless its to somebody else they love.

I still don't think he'll be in it. If he does return, he has to win, surely? Knowing WWE, though, they'll use him to put someone else over and everyone will just shit on the PPV again. I don't think they'd risk it a 3rd time.

I'd love to be wrong, though!

There is exactly nothing i like about the mixed tag challenge.

I haven’t even looked at the results, expect Strowman and Bliss to win

Is the Woman’s royal rumble over the 2nd rope? Or haven’t they said yet

Why are they putting Styles V Kami 1st should be the tag match. Also just hope Ziggler doesn’t answer the US open challenge want him at no 30 not had a pop for last entry for a while

I just realised Kami is Sami and Kevin. I thought it was a new female backstage interviewer or something.
