Is this a shoot? Or are you trying to work us into giving away our heat so we are forced to job the strap?
The best part about Josh is that the only unique thing about him is something that would get WWE a cease and desist letter from Disney within seconds.
My fear is that they're going to have Lesnar enter as 30, and have Roman survive the entire time until Lesnar. Or do something similarly stupid where Reigns throws Lesnar out one on one, to either a) win or b) gets hosed by HHH right afterward. Or, Bryan will enter and get thrown out and Reigns will win, which will more or less undo everything they've accomplished with him.
Though, Reigns allying with the Authority and throwing Bryan out of the Rumble would get NUCLEAR heat. Would also set up a Rollins / Reigns feud and an Ambrose / Reigns feud.
I think you need to have Roman get thrown out less then halfway through - people want that excitement and unpredictability for the Rumble.
How'd Goldberg do in that fight with Jericho again?
So I just spent 90 minutes watching this lecture on how sugar is poison. Sure is scary but based on how much data there is now, it's probably fucking true.
Sugar: The Bitter Truth
I bet Vince doesn't eat a lot of sugar.
Damage from HGH and Steroids can't say, but hey...even Arnold and Sly seem to be doing ok.
I cut back on sugar/carbs because my blood sugar levels weren't the best, but now the problem is..losing too much weight!
I'm going to disappear.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Taking some stiff chops isn't going to result in a dude going into business for himself. That's why hazing was such a big thing back in the day.
If you want to place your money on Bo Dallas or Curtis Axel in a fight vs josh by all means.
Plus I don't think anyone ever questioned Y2J being tough except knuckleheads at WCW.
The thing I like about this year's Rumble story is that it's murderer's row - Lesnar is participating and a guy like AJ is debuting in it because they're (storyline) throwing the kitchen sink at Reigns.
Bo Dallas and Chris Jericho aren't comparable like at all.
From upbringing to physical stature. Jericho even admitted in an interview he 'got lucky with a quick grab'
Didn't say that. Just looking at the "He's tall and threw a football, he must be a great fighter" thing.

Fucking LOL
Wouldn't the "quick grab" help my point? Shit like that happens in a fight, you can't predict it, regardless of one guy being bigger.
Unpredictability for the sake of it is terrible. The only two possible winners in this match are Reigns and Lesnar at the moment. Unless Jimmy Haitch enters this match, both Reigns and Lesnar need to be the final two remaining. Even if Jimmy Haitch enters, he should just become part of the final three, consisting of him, Reigns, and Lesnar.
I don't want to see no damn jobbers at the end of the Rumble. Folks in here pretending like there are so many viable winners or something.
And Reigns is officially number one. All that remains is Lesnar as number two, and we're in business baby girls. The prophecy is coming true.
As guy-who-only-watches-the-PPVs, this is the way to do thangs. Like on NXT. Reigns is Eva Marie. Embrace it.
ugh I didn't mean to spark a debate on which fake fighting person would win in a real fight when one is only a fake fight trainee while the other could possibly be FUCK.
WHo cares guys, its just a buncha social media bullshit. There are better things to talk about.
Like Becky!

One thing is for sure: Josh won't be featured in any UpUpDownDown segments.

Lesnar either wins or gets thrown out by his Mania opponent.
If he gets thrown out by Reigns, he's not facing him at Mania.
So clearly the answer is
Jericho had some Hart training where several wrestlers have said Bret could really fuck you up with a submission shoot style if he wanted to. Meaning he knew the holds and had the speed and athleticism to execute them. I can't imagine Bo learning that from Blackjack and definitely not IRS. Most of his training was WWE sanctioned.
Bo is also built like pudge. Even Bray has some signs of a burly build when you see how big his arms are. Bo is just built like an out of shape 20 something year old. I can't imagine him getting the drop on anyone with any kind of 'tough guy' reputation or any serious former athletes/

He basically looks like Vince McMahon's wet dream: Roman Reigns except white. That sounds more like a combination of Hayes and McMahon's wet dreams, actually.
Are you ribbing me? I'm fixing to shoot on this jabroni.
Don't get hot about it, Anth0ny.

Hitman -> (S)hitman -> Mr. Ass?
Alternatively, you could have the entire ring team up and throw him out. You could do a situation where Lesnar and Reigns beat the hell out of each other while everyone else stays back, Lesnar throws Reigns out, at which point 8 guys jump Lesnar and throw him out. I imagine if Lesnar loses, he gets thrown out by his WM opponent. (Guessing Owens, based on how strong they've made him look)
Reigns throwing Lesnar out as anything but a fluke is a terrible idea. Raid Boss Lesnar is best Lesnar.
A final four of HHH, Bryan, Wyatt, and Ambrose could have some legitimate tension. I guess it comes down to whether they clear Bryan or not.
Indeed. I can see Reigns cutting VICIOUS promos against the crowd.

It can't be worse than the Royal Rumble that Macho Man Randy Savage lost because he forgot he wasn't allowed to pin Yokozuna.
I honestly try to work it into my vocabulary at all times. It's so damn silly that I can't help but love it.
And that's a shoot.
Have you heard him speak? Guy is dumb as fuck too.

I remember when Vince and Bruno called a match in the mid-80s with an enhancement talent named "Kay Fabian"
Well, you're cheating by including someone who's injured. But were Bryan to return, then that final four has no tension. He's the obvious winner out of them as the returning superstar after a huge layoff.
The remaining three guys there consist of two who have no chance of winning this particular Rumble, and one who has already won it before which makes it unlikely he'll win it again, especially if it's in the face of a returning star. Haitch's storyline is with Reigns, so he's not going to win over Bryan when Reigns is already out of the Rumble halfway through. What's the point at that stage?
Most of the tension is in whether Reigns wins or not right now, since him and Lesnar are the only two viable winners currently in the match. It makes sense then to keep him in there until the final two or three competitors. That's regardless of who returns. He's the one who makes the winner unpredictable because while it makes sense Lesnar wins, you never know with Reigns as he's the top guy now.

Haven't been following much but I always get hyped for a Rumble match. Is there any reason they decided to go with this Sunday over next Sunday? They usually do it the week between the Super Bowl and Conference Championship games.
Bryan returned at the Rumble last year and they still put Reigns over him.

They'd be better off leaving Bryan out unless he wins it. He's been forgotten enough that the fans probably won't really care if he's not there. But if he's there and gets tossed again, the crowd could hijack the show again.

Bryan will never wrestle in WWE again. If I'm wrong, I'll shit in my hat.
For sure. But it won't require even that. All it will take is some unverified, baseless pre-Rumble scoopz from the dirtsheetz that Bryan may be a surprise entrant to spread through that crowd like a plague, get them whipped into a frenzy, and be mad when it doesn't happen.

Joke's on you when they bring back the legends royal rumble
Well, finished Raw. Making the show around Dad Rock Jericho was even worse than making it around Reigns.
Either way, even Lesnar returns doesn't do anything for me. And him feuding with Wyatt doesn't help.
New Day and Becky vs Charlotte were the stuff that connected with me. New Day continues to bring it every week.
The Rumble is going to be hard to watch. HHH or Roman winning is just not interesting. I'm not invested Roman the slightest so the main-event angles just do nothing for me. Given that there's barely any stories that aren't the main event the whole show just falls flat.
Oh well.
