WWF Raw is War 1999 intro re-made with current WWE wrestlers in 2015:

[Fox318]

Casual WWE fans and kiddies don't buy $300+ seats to live events.
They buy $10 Cena T-shirts.

Or the network

 

[LoserMakesGood]

Doubt it. Outside of smarks, the casual WWE fan and the kiddies love him.

and none of these will be at the Rumble tonight

 

[Hasney]

It's going to turn out that Philly isn't great anymore. I can just see it.

Romans down to 1/9 best odds now.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Nah trust me. If Reigns wins, there will be more pops than boos. It's true.

 

[Macho Madness]

Nah trust me. If Reigns wins, there will be more pops than boos. It's true.

Oh okay. I trust you now.

 

[Masquerader]

Reigns will be booed if he wins. Hell, I'd even go so far as to say that the person who eliminates Bryan will experience a significant setback in their career. I'd also expect the ratings to go down even more should Bryan not win. Let's face it, should the WWE refuse to change (likely for the next 5-10 years), this Rumble'll be either a Godsend or a massacre. And it's so easy to guess who'd make the event a success.

 

[Ithil]

Doubt it. Outside of marks, the casual WWE fan and the kiddies love him.

Holy shit Reigns coems in to the Rumble last year and immediately clocks CM Punk in the head. Holy shit lololol.

They're in fuckin Philly.

Welp I'm probably fucked. After Austin won it in 97' the #5 spot became a desolate wasteland.

Maybe Drew Carey will return this year and eliminate himself again.

 

[Deadly Joker]

Nah trust me. If Reigns wins, there will be more pops than boos. It's true.

Ok. I'll trust you.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Need a CM Punk gif to represent #dead. He's not even on camera half the time!

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Just finished watching that match myself. Yeah, CM Punk was on his back for the majority of that match except for those comedy spots with Cesaro and Torito. That concussion didn't help matters.

Wanted to refresh my memory on how that crowd crapped all over the Rumble match following the D.Brine no-show at #30. The massive unacknowledged jeering. The Daniel Bryan chants. No! No! No! The ironic cheering when Mysterio got eliminated. The loudest Roman Reigns chant you ever heard only due to the fact that he WASN'T Batista.

So those aren't edited out on the Network? I might give the match a go then.

Maybe Ryan Styles will come in for the save.

 

[Dazzler]

Is the WWE Network working right now? I'm trying to sign up and it's crapping out on me

(I'm in Canada attempting to sign up via a proxy)

 

[serenewarfare]

Re-post from the Wrasslin OT.

According to Bryan Alvarez, there are two scripts out right now and three possible finishes to the Rumble.

 

[BassForever]

This number game is just for bragging rights ya? Give me a number I'll take part in it for fun

 

[Mahonay]

Maybe Ryan Styles will come in for the save.

He'll smash Mizdow over the head with an invisible chair. No regard for human life.

 

[Anth0ny]

Re-post from the Wrasslin OT.

According to Bryan Alvarez, there are two scripts out right now and three possible finishes to the Rumble.

Yeah, I think this is how it usually is. They swerve the people who make all the odds with one of them, and use the other.

Swerve script = Roman wins rumble
Joke script = Bryan wins rumble
Real script = Rock wins rumble

 

[Jazzy Network]

Re-post from the Wrasslin OT.

According to Bryan Alvarez, there are two scripts out right now and three possible finishes to the Rumble.

1. Roman Reigns eliminates Bryan
2. Roman Reigns eliminates Ambrose
3. Roman Reigns eliminates The Rock

Am I close?

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Any pools going on?

 

[Hasney]

Yeah, I think this is how it usually is. They swerve the people who make all the odds with one of them, and use the other.

Swerve script = Roman wins rumble
Joke script = Bryan wins rumble
Real script = Rock wins rumble

Except the betting markets are usually right. it's how MetsFan makes his "predictions".

 

[Aiii]

Off to bed, good luck to everyone in the lottery, I will see you all in the morning to rejoice over the rightful winner and the new WWE champ Cena. BELEE DAT!

 

[Verendus]

I think the best part of this thread will be seeing Bryan fans cry again.

Balee dat.

 

[slightconfuse]

Melterez report :

Spoiler

Kevin Nash

is winning the rumble

 

[NihonTiger90]

*scans everyone's avatars*

So Tyler Breeze won Sunny's Avatar Rumble, I assume?

 

[Hasney]

Melterz reporting now:

Spoiler

Nash jumped when he heard the news and his quads blown out. Scott Hall now to win.

 

[Fox318]

He'll smash Mizdow over the head with an invisible chair. No regard for human life.

[slightconfuse]

Breaking Meltzerz:

Spoiler

Scott hall found drunk in Akbar. Hogan going over brother

 

[Fried Food]

If Romans was better on the mic he could be huge. Doesn't he want to make it big?

 

[Fox318]

Breaking Meltzerz:

I really hope thats false

He was doing so much better with DDP.

 

[Hasney]

If Romans was better on the mic he could be huge. Doesn't he want to make it big?

I keep saying it., just let him speak normally and don't give him a shitty Vince-penned script. It might do wonders.

 

[Jimmy King]

I keep saying it., just let him speak normally and don't give him a shitty Vince-penned script. It might do wonders.

I have my doubts.

 

[Big One]

How many are you guys willing to bet Rollins wins the belt in the triple threat, only for the Rock to come out to Rock Bottom him to the mat? Reigns wins the Rumble.

Then at Fastlane the main event is Rock vs. Rollins for the belt. Rock wins.

Rock vs. Reigns at WM for the belt, brother!

Bryan vs. Brock still happens.

 

[Jamie OD]

29 and feelin' fine.

 

[Zach]

I look forward to the crowd reaction when Reigns (probably) wins. Really. I don't watch RAW so I'm not really in touch with the crowd reactions for some of the guys. I could see it going either way and I'm okay with that.

But really, in my opinion, they are fools to not have Bryan win the thing. That's sure-fire. Giving Reigns more time -- even a year -- isn't a bad thing. You'd know for sure if he's the guy by this time next year, whereas right now it's a gamble. Bryan seems to be universally liked/loved. Let him win. I'm assuming he has much less time left in the business so strike while the iron's hot or whatevs.

 

[Hasney]

I have my doubts.

Sufferin' sukkatash it's worth a shot.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Oh god. Forgot Mysterio was 30 last year. Waste of a fucking slot.

 

[Fox318]

29 and feelin' fine.

BAH GOD ITS DAVID ARQUETTE

 

[slightconfuse]

MR TMF arn anderson was #16

Felling good

 

[Hasney]

Oh god. Forgot Mysterio was 30 last year. Waste of a fucking slot.

Nothing wrong with Rey, dude shifts merch.

Being 30 in that environment though... Not the best idea.

Shit I missed the lottery :-(

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

There's heat. And then there's X-Pac Heat.

That's X-Pac Heat.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

The reaction was amazing.

 

[BassForever]

That mixture of boos and stunned silence was amazing

 

[LycanXIII]

Oh, I just remembered that we have a Kofi spot to look forward to.

 

[Big One]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MloKwaRH_ro

There's heat. And then there's X-Pac Heat.

That's X-Pac Heat.

I'm so glad this happened. I've been doing this for years whenever Rey Mysterio comes out to have a match. Same with Big Show, Kane, Mark Henry, Santino, and the Miz.

 

[Hex]

Oh god. Forgot Mysterio was 30 last year. Waste of a fucking slot.

That reaction he received was epic

 

[British Monsoon]

Number 9...no one has ever won the Rumble with that number, so I'm feeling confidant :|

 

[Linkified]

Number 9 is a very good number I can feel it in my bones.
