If Taker enters the Rumble he has to win it, cause there us no way his body will survive getting thrown out of the ring.

Yeh, it would also be really anti-climactic for him to return just to lose the Rumble. His body is probably too much of a mess now to return for anything but it's just a thought I had.

 

[RBH]

Do PPV events still come with WWE Network? Thinking about subscribing/checking out the Rumble. I want to regularly start watching wrestling again.

Yup. $9.99/month with no contract or commitment.

 

[KidGalactus]

I hope Repoman shows up, guys.

It makes me so sad how poorly Taker has aged. He looks like he's 60 now.

 

[Macho Madness]

Yup. $9.99/month with no contract or commitment.

And if you sign up today, you get the Royal Rumble, the next NXT special, and the February PPV included.

 

[RiderKairuu]

Thanks guys. Guess I'm watching the Rumble tonight!

Someone help this poor child

LEARN HOW TO INTERNET!!

Can you guys teach me how to use the WWE Network from my phone? Michael Cole runs through the process way too quickly.

Yes

If you subscribe tonight, you will get two PPVs for your $9.99, as the next PPV (Fast Lane) is 22 Feb

However, there will then be no PPV until March 29 (Mania), so pay tonight, get two PPVs for $9.99, cancel the next month (as you are getting no PPV for that period)

Then subscribe again on March 29 and you will get 2 more PPVs for $9.99 (as Extreme Rules is April 26).

4 PPVs $19.98, then bail out.

No wonder their stock price is shit...

Download the WWE app. Usually there is a Network icon on the opening image.

That has more to do with their shitty US tv deal.

Which should have cost Step McMahon her job considering its believed she was the one leading negotiations

Instead of having a 6 month commitment, they should just block users from renewing for 30 days after cancelling.

 

[Keyser Soze]

This will only work during Mania season hough - due to the long ruin in they like to give Mania.The rest of the year PPVs are better placed to try and keep your contract rolling.

It is pretty handy getting 4 PPVs (and the NXT PPV) super cheap though.- for what should be the best time of the year for main WWE content

Never a good idea to block people from giving you money.

So how many numbers will be wasted in non-wrestlers, clown characters like Jim Duggan, and retired legends like mick foley?

Jim Duggan is the fucking worst.

 

[Angry Grimace]

It depends what you consider a clown character. Last year I think the only real joke entrant was the El Torito character (an unspeaking dwarf that is employed just to wrestle Hornswoggle).

But Mizdow is a joke character that has actual storylines and he'll be there.

 

[Jazzy Network]

I hope for the face turn of Mizdow and beat the shit out of The Miz.

 

[Linkified]

Hmmm that is the whole point, only a handful of current roster guys you legitimately "buy" winning the Rumble, so its best to pad for nostalgia.

You've just gotta embrace it, dude. The Royal Rumble is a gimmick match through and through, a marvel of wrestling ability and technical skill not so much.

 

[RBH]

Jim Duggan is the fucking worst.

People would pay good money to see Miz locked in a cage with Bork.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

As long as the announcers don't all get spots like in 2012, I'll be happy.

 

[Son Of D]

I hope for the face turn of Mizdow and beat the shit out of The Miz.

I'm expecting Miz to get eliminated but Sandow won't follow him out. Which will make Miz argue with Sandow from the outside causing Sandow to be eliminated.

 

[Zach]

I know we want Miz vs. Mizdow at Mania, but Mizdow eliminating himself after Miz is eliminated would be pretty good stuff. Or has he done something like that already?

 

[UberTag]

As long as the announcers don't all get spots like in 2012, I'll be happy.

I think we're safe from that happening so long as the Ascension don't find their way into the match after wrestling earlier in the night. You know JBL would be chomping at the bit to eliminate them.

I know we want Miz vs. Mizdow at Mania, but Mizdow eliminating himself after Miz is eliminated would be pretty good stuff. Or has he done something like that already?

Fairly certain that spot's already happened during a battle royal or two.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Guess who's sailing to Philly!

This is why Santino should have thrown Del Rio out. Made us all believe again.

You are a page and almost exactly 100 posts late

Oh, then yeah. Now's the time to turn face, I'd say.

Well... I guess he's already a face. Now's the time to turn on the Miz, I mean.

[UberTag]

In retrospect, considering how Del Rio was wasted at Mania XXVII in the opening match of the televised card despite his Rumble win, having Santino go over in the Rumble would have actually been the right call.

 

[Zach]

Nice Against Me! shirt.

 

[Verendus]

I balee I can fly.

This is a natural result of linking the RR to Wrestlemania though.

 

[notworksafe]

I'd love for DBryan to win but I just don't see it happening.

Bummer that I'll have to watch Reigns vs Bork at Wrestlemania.

Unless it's his dick, I can't think of anything he hasn't done.

Through the positive powers of New Day he will finally live up to his Wildcat slogan and fly! (with wires prepared by Big E and Xavier)

Is it true Norman Smiley is gonna be at the Rumble?

Norman Smiley Vs Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. Let's do this.

For some reason I always assumed wrestlers have private jets taking them around.

The top guys fly first class. Undercarders coach. The McMahons and their "inner circle" fly on the WWE jet.

So supposed dirt sheet site said the following, putting in spoiler tags.



scroll past if you dont want to be spoiled, IF TRUE. Take it for what its worth too.


Ready???

Spoiler

The Rock Returns tonight and will either be a number 1 contender for the title, or he will be in the actual Royal Rumble Match and win it. As a result it sets up the WM main event between Rock and Brock.
