Hey, remember when "anything could happen"? The way This Fucking Company spoils everything these days just baffles me.

Considering the Rock posted it on his twitter and instagram account; anyone who is paying attention already knows of his coming. I don't think it was that much of a secret.
 

Aiii

So not worth it

I will laugh hard if Rock doesn't come out and this was a convenient way to sell subs. "Hey, Rock just said he was in Philli. Noone said he'd be in the Rumble".
 
People complained all through 2014 about Rock, Brock, and other guys not being advertised but showing up.

These people are idiots, fuck them.

That was more of a tease. WWE posting it pretty much makes it a flat out confirmation.

I got #6? Ain't nobody won from #6. I know Roman (I'm being nice and not calling him Superoman even though stro is gone and can't bitch about it), D.Brine and Orton won't be #6.

I'll probably wind up with either Kofi or The Miz.

On the bright side, I'm in contention to have the first guy eliminated in both the Avatar and Rumble Lottery draws in the same year.
That may well be unprecedented. So yeah, I hope #6 gets thrown out first.
 
Anyone complaining about them spoiling Rock's appearance (and possible win) is looking at it wrong. The amount of buys and/or Network subs that will be sold by the leak is infinitely more valuable than the shock factor of a surprise. Hell, if anything they should have announced weeks ago that he would be there.

Wow #7 has been some ass.

Since 2007:
Sabu Tommy Dreamer Zack Ryder John Morrison Mick Foley Titus O’Neil Jack Swagger

Except 2009 when Triple H went from 7 to 29 only to be eliminated by Orton

Exactly, doing it now is just half-arsed. At this point may as well surprise or announce it ages ago.

Honestly wouldn't even be staying up for this if it wasn't for the crowd. No matter who wins, a Philly crowd has the most potential to let me down tonight :(

This makes complete sense. And you're absolutely right... they should have hyped it up long before now.

they should have been promoting the rock's return at the royal rumble for MONTHS if this was the plan all along

it probably just happened today or yesterday. vince tore up the script and re-wrote it with rock winning the rumble.

You guys can stay salty, I'll be over here enjoying what I see.

There's no need for anyone to be salty if they watched NJPW on AXS this weekend.
Anything good that takes place tonight can be considered a bonus... or something to laugh at.

Screw it I'm watching the rumble tonight. I think I'll change my no WWE diet to one ppv a month, but we'll see if they can deliver tonight.

lucky 25 :D
 
#14 has to be the worst number in Rumble history. Holy shit:

2014: Kevin Nash
2013: Rey Mysterio
2012: Jinder Mahal
2011: Chris Masters
2010: Montel Vontavious Porter
2009: Finlay
2008: Umaga
2007: Jeff Hardy
2006: Joey Mercury
2005: Orlando Jordan
2004: Rikishi
2003: Eddie Guerrero
2002: Diamond Dallas Page
2001: The Godfather
2000: Bob Backlund
1999: Kurrgan
1998: Ken Shamrock
1997: Goldust
1996: Doug Gilbert
1995: Jacob Blu
1994: Doink the Clown
1993: The Berzerker
1992: Hercules
1991: Davey Boy Smith
1990: Haku
1989: Marty Jannetty
1988: Ron Bass
 
Real talk though. If this isn't zigglers year then I don't know what is. They've been building him so much and now he isn't burdened by the intercontinental title. It's time.

Zigglers contract is up in the Summer. He ain't doing shit the rest of the year, forget it the dream is dead.

I honestly think Zigglers MITB cash in was the biggest mark out moment for me since Jerichos debut on Raw.

I like how your number has Bob Backlund and Nash....in the 2000s.
