Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, etc. didn't act like he's going to lose.

In kayfabe, John Cena is the best. He doesn't expect to lose. And he doesn't. Becuase he's John Cena. And his opponents aren't.

Wayne Gretzky shows respect to say the Islanders, who are coming off an amazing run of cup victories, before going into the finals.

He doesn't call them some team from Long Island.

Wayne Gretzky doesn’t take the regular season off and then come back only in the Stanley Cup finals.

Those guys don't call the other teams garbage because all it means is that they are beating garbage.

 

[NYR]

These promos are unbearable.

 

[truly101]

Strowman has his Diesel moment, Elsworth ties Santinos record.

 

[Sanjuro]

I'm hoping there isn't a woman or too many NXT characters. Want to see some throwbacks in the Rumble!

KANE KWILL KWIN KTHE KRUMBLE

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

And we know how well that went.

"Top 15 moments"

It's just 15 random facts.

Pretty sure the video was actually called top 30 facts on YouTube.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I wish they would save the rematch for WM. But they won't.

That was better than Omega and Okada to me.

You trippin. The last 15 minutes of Okada/Omega are a masterclass in match build and storytelling (with Omega unable to hit what the crowd knew would've actually ended the match). Cena/Styles was cool, but they were just dropping bombs and kicking out after the submission struggle.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Oh fuck Sabu! In 2017!

 

[Lothar]

Haha, they actually had Batista win twice.

Fuck that burying piece of crap

 

[Violence Jack]

Some of you people are out of your damned minds. Okada and Omega wrapped up a year long story and had some of the best in-ring psychology in wrestling history. AJ/Cena 2 was a nonstop spot fest capped off by about a dozen finishers kicked out of by each guy.

To each their own I guess.

I didn't like that it took so long to get good, and I absolutely hated that Omega never got to pull off the One Winged Angel. But once it got good, it stayed great until the end.

Shawn should win the Rumble and legit auction off his title shot.

 

[Data West]

I hope Miz wins

 

[Kurt Angle]

I'm hoping there isn't a woman

typical trumpatriot

"Go Home!!"

 

[Bronx-Man]

Well, here we go.

Yeah this. That match was fun but it was a spotfest with typical spotfest pacing.

Omega vs Okada was on another level.

 

[friskykillface]

Bork gonna win

 

[Fox318]

LETS GO CESARO

CESARO VS BIG MATCH JOHN

 

[Brinbe]

def gonna be there in philly next year

 

[Toki767]

They could really push Joe hard if he debuted and won the Rumble on the same night.

But of course they won't.

 

[krae_man]

If Jericho is in for more then 5 minutes, he passes HHH's cumulative record.

He'll probably get eliminated quickly.

 

[International Iron Man]

I love Shane but they're just wasting a AJ WM match if thats the route they're going.

Agreed but I'm not of the mind that it will be shitty either. It would be at minimum a 3.5* match. AJ can definitely carry.

 

[Tom Nook]

RR at Philly next year.

 

[Raw64life]

Hope the smart money is wrong. Orton winning would be boring. He's already won it before and would gain nothing from winning it.

 

[Morfeo]

My body is REGGIE!

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I'm ready.

 

[Kaladin]

#1 Brock Lesnar

#2 Goldberg

 

[Sanjuro]

typical trumpatriot

Fuck women!

Nah, there just isn't a believable threat right now. At least not one they have marketed as such. They also wasted Beth last time.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Chances they're wrong?

Reasonably high. Seems like Stro Man / Reigns seems obvious and that wasn't what Meltzer had predicted.

 

[Jerm411]

Cena enters at 30, wins, beats Owens at WM for number 17......holy shit please no lol....I was just joking....

 

[klonere]

I have made peace with never getting heel Cena. The world doesn't need it.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

LET'S GOOOOOO

 

[njean777]

I really see Goldberg winning, I mean he kind of alluded to it with another championship run

 

[slightconfuse]

Conrad!!!!

 

[Bluekaveli]

typical trumpatriot

Shouldn't you be getting ready to enter?

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Here's the rumble lottery line up.

We had a total of 34 entrants into the 2017 WrassleGaf Royal Ramble Lethal Lottery. I used a random number generator to pick a number between 1 and 30 for each of the first group of 30. I made sure there was no overlap. I then went and did a random number between 1 and 30 for each of the overflow participants. Some numbers are assigned to two people...that's just how it goes.

I've found in the past this can add extra enjoyment to the Rumble as you find yourself rooting for someone you never thought you would before.

Root for whoever comes out at your number to win and enjoy the Rumble!

I thought they got rid of Lillian?

Ah the Rumble. What a fun match

 

[Foggy]

Shut up fog, I'll eat all of your chips next time

YOU GODDAMN SON OF A BITCH

 

[Bronx-Man]

Oh wow, Big Cass at #1.

 

[Ithil]

Did WWE just use "anniversary" correctly?

 

[excelsiorlef]

Also for all Styles did kicking out of AAs, Cena kicked out of the forearm, the Styles Clash and basically no sold a second.

 

[Kahoona]

Please don't pull any bullshit like last year with Roman.

 

[Fox318]

#1 Brock Lesnar

#2 Goldberg

ITS A SHOOT

Those guys don't call the other teams garbage because all it means is that they are beating garbage.

Exactly. And people wonder why new talent and guys from other promotions never get truly over despite being so good.

That's Jojo

We want FUNAKI
