Not enough #PeeWeeFacts so let's check out some highlights!:

Zach said:
The Legend of Randy "Pee Wee" Anderson

Pee Wee hits the ring like a house o' fire!

Pee Wee with a slap storm on arch-nemesis Sabu!

Pee Wee avoids elimination by superhuman-strong, cheat code embodiment RoboCop!

Pee Wee with a perfectly executed fireman's carry on the dastardly RoboCop!

Pee Wee Spinebuster!

Pee Wee goes right after the fresh entrant New Jack with another Pee Wee Spinebuster!

[lots of putting over the younger talent until...]

Pee Wee skins the cat!

Pee Wee shocks New Jack -- and the world! -- with the deadly Poison Mist! . . . and then Flair flops!

Pee Wee concusses himself with a quick headbutt to arch-nemesis Sabu before a struggle and elimination!

NeoGAF Vince McMahon's uninspired choice of Vince McMahon, always jealous of Randy Anderson's unmatched stature in the world of wrestling, immediately attacks Pee Wee... and eats a Pee Wee Spinebuster for his trouble!

Poison Mist to Vince McMahon!

NeoGAF Vince McMahon, knowing he'd been outclassed by the great Randy "Pee Wee" Anderson, called for reinforcements in scumbag Mr. Perfect. After a brief struggle, Mr. Perfect and Vince McMahon eliminated a cancer-stricken Pee Wee, before Pee Wee's longtime friend and confidant Berlyn won the WrassleGAF Memorial Avatar Rumble. After the match, Berlyn rechristened the event the RandallGAF Memorial Avatar Rumble.

May your legend never die, Pee Wee.

One cool thing about wrestling is how many fucking weird people have done it.

I mean imagine a final 8 of :

Greg Gagne
Erik Watts
Brain Damage
George Hackenschmidt
Big Vito
The Yeti
Nakamura
Drew Carey


Anything could happen

The Rumble is by far my favorite PPV, so its hard for me to not be hyped. I'm probably gonna just watch TakeOver on delay though, I'm not that interested in it.

I'm still afraid after those really dire and dull 2014 and 2015 Rumble matches.

Genuine question what was the last Rumble match where everyone seemed to enjoy the match itself? 2010 has high praise I think.

OH dear god. Just saw that Roman Reigns vs. The Undertaker is on the books as one of the headline matches for Mania right now. Dear god no. Even Taker could not carry Reigns to a good match and that's one sure fire way to make sure Reigns will never ever be seen as a babyface for life.

And based on the last few years, Taker can't carry anyone anyone.

We knew Roman or HHH would win in advance, so it was all just a waste of an hour to get to that point because as with most Rumbles, the journey there isn't worth it.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS FROM 2016:

Uh, Brock fucked up BRAUN

Busy weekend coming up for me, going to the Dominant Wrestling show in Dundee tomorrow with my brother and some of his mates, one of whom is bringing their son who's ecstatic to see Rey, makes me miss being a wrestling fan as a kid...

Will probably stay up to watch Takeover when I'm back home as well. Then on Sunday I will be going to the ICW awards show, not sure of my plans afterwards though, dunno if I'll be staying out to watch the Rumble or not, but I doubt I will.

I just realized the most consistently kayfabe thing in 2017 are tables. To this day they're still treated like they'll ruin a career and the wrestler has died when they go through one.

Here's my take on Roman.

I give up.

And that's ok because his in ring work is not bad and the reactions he gets are hilarious.

Him vs Taker might rival Lesnar vs Goldberg at XX for best worst crowd reaction ever especially if Reigns wins.

I'm all in for the absurdity of it all.

I'm disappointed that the Wrasslegaf Avatar Rumble doesn't have any mystery entrants.

Just imagine the pop if Bean Breath or Bionic Arm had put forward their selection of John Cena and... John Cena.

here's why Roman is great :

If you don't watch RAW and only read the recaps, you only have to watch him get booe'd out of the building once a month, while the commentators are struggling to make him look popular

it's like watching Curb Your Enthusiasm, but in wrestling

I don't know how you don't just crumble to the mat in a heap of tears after taking even a couple chops from [NAME REDACTED], Bob holly, and Eddie Guerrero. I checked and its still a solid 6 minutes of a "fuck you, kid" beat down, even though Eddie does relent on a chop or two. What a nice guy.

Channel4 in England did a profile of the Women leading up to the hell in the cell match:

Interesting to note they talk to finn balor who revealed that shoulder injury was a lot worse. He dislocated his shoulder, tore his bicep, pectoral, labium and a broken socket.

Seth probably felt horrible after this :(

You know, about 75% of the enjoyment I get out of wrestling now is just the surrounding jokes that come up on here and through things like the Lapsed Fan.

Posting the same pics of wrestlers who definitely won't be in the rumble carrying luggage in public transport areas is good stuff.

I'm excited for the Royal Rumble.

It's kind of amazing how Cena and Batista hit the floor at the same time together. It would have been awkward if Cena had blatantly landed first but they gave the win to Batista then.

Yeah that worked out incredibly well for them

If Vince didn't blow out his knees it would've been one of the greats

Him blowing out his quads is what makes it. Like he's so committed to the angle that he's sitting up with his hands on his hips. I love it maggle
