I like the work that went into it, better than your typical Photoshop job.

Yes, this year. I don't mind Santino, but there is nothing special about it at all

Punk has only won one match this year. Two if you count each step of his gauntlet match as separate matches.
But even if you do that, both wins were against Swagger so they don't even really count.
It's hard to point at something when you're looking the opposite way.

Which one of you made this?
Also....Triple H doesn't need to point.

Yeah, you almost always get out cheaper just straight up buying something than renting it at RAC.

Excellent, while the past two MITB events have been one of the best ppv events of each of their respective years i'm glad they are toning it back down, there's been too many cash ins to the point that they've lost their luster.
It works very well at WM, we'll likely lose the longer length MITB matches as a result but the fast flowing outings are a great early or opening match for WM and it's a better way to get the mid carders on the show without having a 10 man tag match that lasts less than a minute for example.
As for those RR posters i've always liked 2008 and 2005. I'll lump 1991,1992 and 2001 together as a good batch as well.
On a side note the dvd cover for RR2008 has a horribly inserted John Cena, HHH, HBK and Undertaker put into it.

I like the 91 cover, never saw that before. I also like the 2003, 2005 ( I still remember the promos for that one, glorious) and 08 ones.
10 and 12 are the worst.

I really like that one.
I remember they did a "if you build it, they will come" style advert for The Rumble one year, where they built a ring out in a field, and had the wrestlers run at it. I can never find that on on Youtube.

So who else is the Jericho not saying anything again tonight, and then winning the rumble on Sunday and still not saying anything, and then blasting everyone on Raw the next night.

The past couple weeks I watched the 91, 92, 99, and 01 Rumbles. Post Attitude and New Generation Rumbles don't interest me much on rewatches though.
Also funny to me how WWF/E decides to randomly assign what does or doesn't count as an elimination. For example:
- Macho Man eliminated himself in 1992 on a fuck up. But he was allowed back in because they explained you have to be eliminated by someone else.
- Vader eliminated like 50 people as an eliminated guy in his debut, including Shawn Michaels, who went on to win it. They were all allowed back in.
But then there's plenty more examples when someone eliminated was allowed to take someone out, or wrestlers were allowed to eliminate themselves. I believe Jake the Snake had Andre eliminate himself in one of the early Rumbles. Plenty of examples when eliminated wrestlers either directly or indirectly caused someone else to be eliminated, ALA Hogan and Sid in the 92 Rumble.
Just funny all these inconsistencies that pop up if you start watching different Rumbles. And oh yeah, and remember MAVEN WASN'T ELIMINATED, HE'S STILL ELIGIBLE!

Since WM sign pointing has been brought up i'd be a fool to miss the opportunity to rewatch Orton waiting for the fireworks back in 2009
Oh and here's the RR 2001 advert

As per the posters...
91/92 look pretty good. And of course, I did my poster off the 90 version.
As for the worst, it's easily 95. What were they thinking?
I was thinking of doing my new one off of a larger version of the 2010 poster, just so I'd have some room to put stuff.

Anyone get through for Wrestlemania Axxess tickets today? What a f*ckin fiasco that was. I got through for Punk VIP tickets but they said General Admission and had the GA prices (even though it was the VIP presale) so I didn't order them. Apparently Ticketmaster screwed up and they actually were VIP tickets and are honoring them for the GA prices!!! ARGH! Screwed me over on meeting Punk!

Can't wait for Jericho to win this year and point towards the sign in the sky. "YEAAAAAH BABY LET ME HEAR IT!"
Really glad I decided against AXXESS now. I was only doing it for the autograph anyway.

I agree that this years rumble adverts and posters suck.
The Rumble promo use to be fun and over the top and goofy. This year its just dumb and cheap.

Found this funny along with the Glaad and wrestlezone dig.

This is too good not to happen.
1) No one knows who is gonna make it.
2) We'll make it Saturday night or Sunday morning?

I miss the days of all 30 rasslers cuttin' rumble promos. Like so:
Starts for REAL a few minutes in.

It's a PPV go home show, and the Rumble one at that. Expect a lot of guys getting thrown over the top rope and Michael Cole saying "If that happens Sunday, he would be eliminated". I'd also expect a big brawl like they did on Smackdown, or a small battle royal. Something will happen to get a large number of mostly jobbers in the ring at the same time tonight.
you're saying you'd win even at being #1 entry? What about funkystudent or Bootaaay?
¿Que?

I just want to let you guys know now - I'm going to be paired with Jericho and we will win at the #30 slot.
I miss these, but they were eventually replaced with the backstage segments of people picking their numbers, but don't remember that in recent years either.

Doesn't Santino look like Paul Haymen in the poster?
