LOOK AT THOSE WRASSLERS RUN OUT WITH MICS!!!!

 

[The Frankman]

Oh Lord we ran out of entrances?

Wait I don't see Ryback...

 

[Toki767]

Ziggler's the only smart one. He didn't go down.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Alex Riley sighting!

 

[slightconfuse]

Is Alex Riley in the rumble? Lol

 

[A.E Suggs]

Its the WUMBLE!

 

[Beast Legacy]

JTG is still employed

 

[Master Thespian]

Well that took entirely too long to get started.

Evillore is getting free advertising on WWE

 

[Mr. Robot]

Gotta end with Cena on the ring...

 

[Ithil]

Sadly, in the fracas John Cena was horribly killed. He will now only win the Rumble from number 2, not number 1. We are very sorry.

 

[Sabucin]

Alex Riley confirmed to win Royal Rumble!

 

[Bowser]

WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEDNESDAY ON WCW THUNDER!

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Ending with Cena, duh.

 

[Kaladin]

Easy with the quick camera movements and cuts.

 

[Brinbe]

Boring

 

[KissVibes]

Alex Riley was the first one tossed over. Fired confirmed.

 

[The Frankman]

Oh there was Ryback.

 

[Cousteau]

Alex Rileys wiki needs updating asap.thanks.

 

[Kaladin]

They actually ended this week with less than 5 minutes overrun.....maybe next week they can end with no overrun?

 

[Toki767]

That had to have been the worst closing segment for a go home Rumble show ever. Should have ended things with Rock and Punk.

 

[Ithil]

I bet half those guys aren't even in the Rumble.

 

[Skilotonn]

Oh there was Ryback.

He didn't need to talk again, it was time to feed.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Good to see the Mark of the WrassleGAF Beast in the crowd.

 

[The Frankman]

YES!

sounds like another shitty RAW, judging by the comments.

Yep.

Piss poor.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

YES!

That's so fucking creepy. Where do these come from? The DDP ones are the worst.

 

[A.E Suggs]

OH well I've seen worst claim games at the end of a show.

 

[Ithil]

I wish at the end of that we got

You are all WEIRDOS!

 

[UberTag]

Yes. I didn't start watching wrestling until 96 but a friend showed me some of his promo work from when he came back and it was fantastic.

It's the same RAW as ever. Carried by Punk.

Daniel Bryan didn't even have a match, did he?

 

[Lambda Pie]

It's the same RAW as ever. Carried by Punk.

i saw two and half shows this year and quit completely.

hell, i would rather rewatch every Newcastle match this season

 

[SoulPlaya]

Ryback will break Kane's record, but Kane will break HBK's record.

 

[Officerrob]

Guys, Cena's promo......I think I need to watch it again so I can properly evaluate just how abysmally awful it was. I'm a 35 year old man who has been watching wrestling since I was a young boy, and I think that was the worst promo I have ever seen.

Good god.

I'd rather watch AJ and Cena make out for 9 hours than rewatch our games. :'(

Theres only been 3 raws this year...

And Raw has never been that bad.

 

[Lambda Pie]

here's some Vader + Ric Flair insanity to ease the pain:

oh, i was counting the last show last year on the 31st.

so, one and a half RAWs.

 

[Penguin]

That was kind of a flat ending for Raw.. leading to the Rumble.

Alas.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Time to burn all my videogames, they're not cool anymore. Thank you John Cena.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Weak Raw. I liked Cena's promo there and one or two matches but that's it. The skits fell flat, weren't funny. Rock just yelled and insulted, his writer is terrible. Bad Raw

 

[slightconfuse]

Raw was pretty good I thought

3 beat the clock matches were good and lengthy

Graduation segment was great

Punk/rock stuff was good

Shield made rock bleed

I'm glad I didn't watch the cena promo

 

[Data West]

Watching some WCW 99. It's pretty cool how much Heenan puts over Benoit. WCW really was going to make him a star then they fucked it up.

 

[jmdajr]

Whatever number I get for Rumble Gaf, I hope its Cena!

Yay!

 

[Kaladin]

The Rumble match promotion has been pretty much by the books this year, like they don't really give a fuck about it.....so either A) the winner has been pre-determined a long time ago or B) the winner is a random jobber who will open Mania with their title shot.

It's John. John Cena.

Do the numbers for the WrassleGAF rumble get drawn the day of the Rumble?

 

[Ithil]

Middle of the road RAW. The Beat The Clock matches were good, the multiple squashes were not. Rock's early stuff fell flat, but his segment against Punk and the Shield was good. Punk's promo earlier was good, Maddox showing up was fun, and the video promo for the Shield was cool, and Cena's promo was atrocious, and the ending was bog standard. Hell No's super hug segment got a laugh out of me.

So yeah, middle of the road. Not a great job hyping the Rumble.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Just read the page of posts during Cena's promo. Typical overreaction and hyperbole. It was confusing at first but instead of instantly posting a shitty rage-filled one-upmanship type of reply I let it play out and see where he was going with it and it came out fine in the end. It had a build-up and there were a couple funny lines (and a couple duds). It was a decent promo. Good enough to end the go-home show before the RR? No, but that's not his fault. Rock and Punk should've been last but I guess Vince wanted to put the emphasis on the RR match itself. Going to bed.
