I miss the Rumble qualifier matches.Or the ones where they used to fight for the 30th spot.
I can live without Rumble qualification matches. There's 30 spots to fill after all.I miss Royal Rumble qualification matches.

What I miss are qualification matches for more important things like King of the Ring tournaments, MITB ladder matches and Elimination Chamber main events.
Lately we just get 'token figurehead du jour' throwing people into these things on whims instead of having wrestlers EARN their spot. I hate that shit.
Jan 24 Observer Radio
Wrestling Observer Radio with Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer returns tonight to talk all the news in wrestling and MMA including Raw from Monday night, the go-home show for Rumble, a look at the PPV leading into WrestleMania, Cena, Lauranitis, Punk and more, plus UFC ratings thoughts from the weekend, King Mo's drug test failure, your questions and more!
With the MITB match being at WM again this year, hopefully they have MITB Qualifying matches.
Fucking assholes. They should have done this for WM 27.WWE officials have apparently decided to drop the Money in the Bank pay-per-view this July and replace it with another concept – the TLC pay-per-view. As noted before, they have been planning to bring the Money in the Bank ladder match back at WrestleMania this year.
Unless the schedule changes again, Vengeance will be replacing TLC in December for this year.

Oooo, I forgot about this. Hopefully they scale it back to six people, but if not I'm still happy that we won't have two people running around with briefcases later this year.
Speculation: Dolph Ziggler will win MITB
After we noted a few weeks ago that WWE reached an agreement with "The Luke & Duane Show" to feature the song "Just Take Care, Spike Your Hair (The Broski of the Week Song)" on WWE programming. Speculation now is that Ryder may be away filming episodes of his "Z! True Long Island Story" YouTube show for the Network. Again, none of this is confirmed - just talk.
WWE has just pulled Ryder from his appearance with Kelly Kelly at this weekend's Wizard World Comic Con in New Orleans.

Just heard from my good pal Papa Shango. He tells me he has one of the guest spots in this year's Royal Rumble match. Great news.
What no Kama Mustafa?
If they make it more scripted it could be good. I'm picturing it like Entourage with the Big O, Chiapetta, and Sanford as his Drama/Turtle/EI guess WWE network is strapped for Ideas if they are converting his youtube show for the network.

Okay the best part about this news is that Wade Barrett isfriends with Papa Shango.
I'm picturing Wade Barrett in a safari outfit wandering the wilds of Parts Unknown, looking to enhance his wrestling abilities with dark voodoo magic. In fact, this needs to be a series of vignettes. Get on it creative.

How many times are we going to hear, "Can you imagine X wrestler in the main event at Wrestlemania?!?!?!" during the PPV?

Bu-but Santino was totally gonna win against Del Rio!I'm probably the only one here who hates joke characters in the Rumble.
Such a waste.

I like seeing legends stop by for one night only, but you can keep Hornswoggle and Santino out of the Rumble thank you very much.Bu-but Santino was totally gonna win against Del Rio!
Part of the problem with joke characters (and even legends returning for a one-off) is that is wastes valuable time and slots for people to pick up a meaningful feud. The Rumble is a perfect time to launch feuds that'll serve through Mania.

I would agree with you except I'd be taking a hypocritical viewpoint given that most of the active roster is comprised of joke characters right now. Given the choice between a Papa Shango cameo and the likes of Camacho, Curt Hawkins, Johnny Curtis or Mr. Losing Streak Drew McIntyre... I'll take the cameo every day of the week.I'm probably the only one here who hates joke characters in the Rumble.

Still sounds better than "Can you imagine X wrestler in an 11-minute curtain jerk appearance at Mania where they get completely decimated and land no offense despite heading to the ring with not one but two lackeys - one of whom hails from Planet Funk."How many times are we going to hear, "Can you imagine X wrestler in the main event at Wrestlemania?!?!?!" during the PPV?
Is Sin Cara still in WWE? I don't even know what happened to him.
If he's still in, will he return at the Rumble?

I miss when wrestlers looked like actual "Men" and not little pretty boys like we have today.

Well back then you actually had to learn how to fight/wrestle for real even though it was all a work. You had to protect yourself. These days if you even think of injuring an opponent your fucking gone. Plus everyone was on the juice.
These days it's not just tough ass blue collar people trying to make a living. It really is more like becoming an actor.
