[Stu]

Picks in bold :

Antonio Cesaro (c) vs. The Miz [Pffffffffffft]

Team Hell No (c) vs. Team Rhodes Scholars [I'm going for the upset. Rhodes Scholars are awesome and Hell No has run it's course]

John Cena wins the Royal Rumble [I want Big Bossman to win as well, guys, seriously, but WWE need to do this right and not have any silly power changes at the February PPV. THE ROYAL RUMBLE WINNER CHALLENGES FOR THE WWE TITLE AT WRESTLEMANIA. IT IS THE LAST MATCH ON THE CARD. THE ROYAL RUMBLE WINNER CAN'T 'LOSE' HIS PRIVILEGE IN SOME STUPID PRE MANIA MATCH. THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD ALWAYS WORK.

Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Big Show [Cementing his face turn, like]

CM Punk (c) vs. The Rock [Shut up, internet. Punk looks like an Ethiopian next to Woky]

[MattySlug]

Imagine Ric Flair Entering!!!

[Iceman]

Dont see The Rock winning....

mainly because Lesnar is supposed to return and help Punk and Heyman

[Stu]

If Rock's not winning then we are not getting Rock/Cena at WrestleMania. No way would he lose then lazily get the belt at Raw or Elimination Chamber. Cena getting the belt back after all this time and getting his win back on Rock is the only thing that will come close to matching last years number. Brock can interfere without it costing Rock the title.

Rock wins. I'll stake my reputation on it.

[Brother Leon]

This looks worth buying actually with the Royal Rumble and The Rock being back. I like what I have seen of Rhodes Scholars too.

How much is it? :suspect:

[Black Dagger]

£14.95 or you can stream it hehe.

[Brother Leon]

Not bad at all. Remember when PPVs used to be like 30 and ****.

[Black Dagger]

-remembers when they used to be on C4 and cut to adverts every 15 minutes :joker:-

[Iceman]

Royal Rumble 2000 was my first PPV I stumbled onto it on C4 one night :love:

[Iceman]

That brings us up to 29 and there's also the rumor of Christian which is 30.

[Black Dagger]

I'd love a load of returnees or surprise entrants, I'd rather have a nostalgic moment than people like JTG/Justin Gabriel/Insert other jobbers I've forgotten having places when they are never going to win.

[Iceman]

yeah I want random returnees too :(

I hate knowing all the entrants....

[Black Dagger]

MARK HENRY PLZ.

Would mark out for him to come back tonight. Not really excited over Carlito and Benjamin, the reactions they will get will worry me as well =(

[Iceman]

Oh no not Henry....unless he's dropped 150 pounds and has a believable gimmick.

[Black Dagger]

His Hall Of Pain run was amazing tbh, didn't that give Smackdown it's best ratings in years when he was champion :joker:

[Stu]

I thought the whole big man who'll smash your face in if you don't respect him gimmick was quite believable.

If Billy Gunn's not in this I'll chew my arm off. Carlito and Benjamin don't interest me in the slightest either.

0LmvsvHzfqQ

I'm all for the Hall Of Pain reopening it's doors tonight but this is what they need.

[Munchkins]

I watched this twice when i was younger omg :o

[Iceman]

I just never liked Mark Henry as champion.... for me he'll always be the guy that was Sexual Chocolate.... him and Mae Young should have been running this company as the best couple in wrestling...

[Ramsay]

AINT NO STOPPIN ME NOOOO /h

[Iceman]

So who's watching this tonight?

[Ramsay]

Me, was supposed to order it on box office with a friend but i've been commited with a big dirty flu so will have to watch it on my own on some dodgy stream :(

[Iceman]

Now you can watch with me :amazed:

Im going to my mates house down the country for WM though...

[Ramsay]

Im probably going to Limerick for WM. Some cinema there is having it on lol and its BYOB, win!!!

[Iceman]

there's a captain americas that does that up here but I wanna go see my mate down the bog.... 2 birds one stone kinda thing

[Alf]

Is Eugene coming back for the rumble?

http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTnv8YkNVWNCVtHyuUwvmBwuuO3t0qg9 ARxQmrPqjh7TLaHN8eC6Q

[Iceman]

I dont know depends how quick you can make it to Arizona....

[Stu]

Limerick? See you there.

[Iceman]

3 hours to go :)

[Brother Leon]

Shelton>>> Was ridiculously entertaining to watch. Pretty much stole the show in back to back MITB matches.

WWE ****ed him badly.

[Iceman]

I wish it would start now... Im absolutely wrecked.

[Stu]

4 cans of Boost for 3 quid in Centra.

Sorted. God bless taurine.

[Iceman]

Im just doing a college assignment....set myself a deadline of 1 so the time can fly in and I can sit here and stare at a blank screen with my name and class on it..... usually the way it works.

[Stu]

:joker:

"I'll wake at 6 and do it."
"I'll do it over breakfast."
"I'll do it in the library during the break."

I was so useless with college. I willingly failed modules so I could have a smoke and a munch at lunch instead of finish work and submit it.

Soooo are we using this thread for the live chat or the usual?

[Iceman]

Eh this one and i'll merge with the other one afterwards...

[Black Dagger]

I am staying up, so I should be around, just finding a half decent link. -most likely use 1st row-

[Iceman]

yeah firstrowsports and whsports for anyone looking... or if anyone gets a nice stream please share.

[Stu]

I have whsport open already in case it's harder to get on later on.

They have Rock and Shamrock from the 98 'Rumble on.

Can't wait for this. It's only the bloody Royal Rumble!

[Ramsay]

http://rajah.com/node/31944

Hahahhaah!!!
Good ol pervy Hulk, he just cant help himself

[Amy Jade]

Is Lita still around or Trish Stratus?

[Ramsay]

neither of them wrestle anymore but they do pop up now and again

[Amy Jade]

Awww I used to love Lita and the Hardyz, team extreme.

I blame my cousins.

[Ramsay]

Shamrock robbed!!! no!!! booooooo!!!!!!!!!!

[Stu]

**** sake :(.

[Stu]

Whose this old bird next to Mean Gene? I bet he's had sex with her.

[Ramsay]

Hate that ad they have of all the people in a bar talking about the rumble and then this dumb bitch goes ''my money is on ryback...or the shield''
****ING DUMB BITCH 3 PEOPLE CANT WIN ARGH

[Stu]

http://www.firstrow1.eu/watch/165869/1/watch-wwe-royal-rumble-2013.html

Seems better quality than anything on whsport.

And yeah that advert is gay. Wrestling fans don't look that good, they can't afford to eat in restaurants, and they don't talk about ****ing Ryback when they eat.

[Ramsay]

http://tykestv.eu/streams/premgames/premgames-1/

this is also better than whsports

[Iceman]

this is also better than whsports
I like this one. It has that rocking Sky Box Office background jam going on.

I've always pictured these cool cats in the studio. "Alright guys, let's lay it down for Sky, mmm Daddy".

[Ramsay]

:joker::joker: that's probably exactly what they do hahah

[Black Dagger]

Yeah, WH was pissing me off and it had that big dock off chat box buzzing. This 1st row link is decent -sticks with it until it goes to a black screen-

[Stu]

Let's ****ing do this.

[Black Dagger]

And we are ready. :amazed:

OMG, starting with the WHC, and why is it LMS, they just had one...

[Ramsay]

ziggler has to win though doesnt he? then cash in on the world heavyweight championship and win the wwe title with the rumble win

[Ramsay]

but i bet it'll be cena :/

[Stu]

Bret Hart is back from the dead!

[Stu]

Mexico's Bret Hart!

[Iceman]

ziggler has to win though doesnt he? then cash in on the world heavyweight championship and win the wwe title with the rumble win

Thats what I thought...

OMG Bret Hart :o

[Black Dagger]

BRET.

He looks about 80 years old.

[Ramsay]

Poor Bret looks ancient

[Iceman]

who won the pre-match?

[Stu]

Cesaro.

[Black Dagger]

Cesaro <3

OMG, Ricardo :love:

He's an amaze face.

[Ramsay]

Lilian Garcia is 46, FOURTY ****ING SIX. so crazy

[Ramsay]

I miss his cars

[Stu]

I'm going to call Ricardo sitting on Big Show. I'm not even sure is that legal.

[Stu]

That WrestleMania logo is the best one ever even if they nicked it from Chicago Town pizzas.

[Iceman]

Really hope Ziggler cashes in

[Iceman]

much prefer face del rio

[Stu]

Yeah man he's rocking. And because he's character's fresh I can re appreciate what a good hand he is in the ring.

[Black Dagger]

much prefer face del rio

Same, I'm more invested in him, he got stale as a heel, his feud with Sheamus was ****ing dull.

[Iceman]

I can see this stage coming apart tonight

[Stu]

JBL loves a good ol fight.

[Iceman]

That was actually a nice spot..

[Black Dagger]

Get off ricardo!!!.

[Stu]

I. Hate. That. Spot. So. Godamn. Much.

[Black Dagger]

Didn't they do this spot for Cena/Batista?

[Ramsay]

DUCT TAPE? are you serious? REALLY?

http://bobsbigbeerbelly.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/katbatistaer.png

[Stu]

Sweet spot but as a finish? Mehhhhhhh.

Great opener though from two guys I had zero interest in half a year ago :).

[Iceman]

oh god LOL

[Iceman]

Yeah same Stu, im interested in Del Rio for the first time since he debuted....

[Ramsay]

[Black Dagger]

Do love this theme song as well.

[Ramsay]

king '' thanks to the heavy for their single....WAT....makes a good man'' :laugh: wtf

[Stu]

Dolph would be the biggest star ever. Pft they should just do it. Screw Rock/Cena II. Nobody wants to see Cena beat Rock.

[Iceman]

Unifies them and bam the next night on RAW Y2J returns and they have a feud to see who's the best undispute Champion EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR and I mean EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Black Dagger]

PTP :worship:

If Shelton is coming back, he should manage em tbh.

[Stu]

Was Cena trying to do a Hulk promo there? What the hell was that?

Soooo bad.

[Ramsay]

wrestlingforum crashes at the mention of unify

[Iceman]

wade barrett bores me to tears

[Ramsay]

Was Cena trying to do a Hulk promo there? What the hell was that?

Soooo bad.

his last promo was raw was bonkers too, hopefully this is a gimmick change where he's becoming more and more like bob backland every week

[Stu]

his last promo was raw was bonkers too, hopefully this is a gimmick change where he's becoming more and more like bob backland every week
I would mark!

Ryback's a bit surreal comedy isn't he. That promo will give children nightmares.

[Ramsay]

[Black Dagger]

DAMIEN :worship:

Hope they take the titles, Hell No has run it's course.

INJUSTICE

[Black Dagger]

Urgh, the actual ****.

[Ramsay]

Raw Roulette :amazed:

[Black Dagger]

Bo Dallas :bored:

Bland, dull *******. He's by far the worst on the NXT roster. His mic skills are ****e.

[Black Dagger]

WHAT, THE ACTUAL ****.

Divas match going on after this? :joker:

[Iceman]

let's all pretend Austin is #30

[Ramsay]

[Black Dagger]

[Iceman]

[Black Dagger]

I remember David retweeted me once, that was nice.

[Ramsay]

Goldust and Cody working together :love:

[Iceman]

heath slater lost to lita.

That's all. Ever.

[Black Dagger]

God I hate this wanker.

[Ramsay]

oh god sheamus running down to the ring like he scored a goal playing football in secondary school

[Stu]

The only way I'd be interested in Sheamus again is if they done an IRA angle with him. We never did find out why Vince's limo blew up.

Crowd are hot. Can't wait for Rock/Punk.

[Iceman]

it's albert

[Iceman]

[Black Dagger]

PRINCE ALBERT.

[Black Dagger]

Remember the Zoo Crew, that was nice.

[Ramsay]

[Black Dagger]

There is like a 40 second gap between entrants.

[Ramsay]

[Black Dagger]

I call Ryder or Mahal.

[Iceman]

Rikishi>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Black Dagger]

Well I was wrong.

[Ramsay]

Rey Rey getting fat fat

[Iceman]

poor goldust:(

[Black Dagger]

-He's going to retire soon because he's constantly injured, could count as a curse-

[Stu]

Rey's at a more pointless position in this company now than he ever was in the old WCW.

God I love WCW, I'm watching more of it after this. 2000 Nitro >>>

[Iceman]

unmask him, that'll put buyrates through the roof LOL

[Black Dagger]

More jobbers. (Does like Young though)

[Black Dagger]

Another moment for Kofi.

[Black Dagger]

Bo Dallas, eliminate this pleb quickly.

[Stu]

And here comes Bo Dallas. A sort of sedative.

[Ramsay]

If Kofi was smart he'd just sit on that table until the end

[Stu]

HAHA! **** you Kofi.

[Stu]

WORLD FULL OF ****ING WIN!

Yes!

[Black Dagger]

GODFATHER. :worship:

[Ramsay]

[Iceman]

[Ramsay]

[Stu]

Yeah Bo deck him.

[Black Dagger]

LMAO, **** off Khali

[Ramsay]

[Ramsay]

http://www.wrestlingforum.com/signaturepics/sigpic180356_4.gif

[Black Dagger]

The fact Cena or Ryback are winning :bored:

[Stu]

Come on guise I'm Ryder woo woo woo we can still do this!

No **** off.

[Black Dagger]

Well done Ryder, you've got TV time, now you might stop whining like a twat on Twitter.

[Ramsay]

ah ah ah stream died

[Ramsay]

what happened where bryan go

[Stu]

Streams back.

[Black Dagger]

what happened where bryan go

Erm, he was like just dry humping Kane...

[Stu]

Godamn it's almost over. I want more surprises. It's been great but I'm greedy. Feels like something bigs missing.

[Iceman]

that awkward moment when your the Miz and Bo Dallas is on PPV for longer than you...

[Ramsay]

damn i missed it

[Ramsay]

28 - Miz
29 - ??
30 - Ryback

[Black Dagger]

LMAO, they are just trolling us now.

Defo no more surprises coming

Miz/Ryback/?

[Stu]

Cena/Rock staredown ends the show, right?

[Iceman]

Cena/Rock staredown ends the show, right?

without a doubt

[Black Dagger]

Cena/Rock staredown ends the show, right?

Correct. Painfully obvious.

[Iceman]

maybe Lesnar???

[Stu]

It's been an alright Rumble but it's forgettable stuff and really highlights the lack of depth on the roster.

[Stu]

*sigh*

[Black Dagger]

LMFAO Sin Cara.

Oh dear.

[Iceman]

oh **** right off you ****ing immigrant

[Ramsay]

Sin Cara snoooorefest, Ryback next surely

[Stu]

Oh my god they're actually pushing Bo Dallas.

Why?

[Black Dagger]

**** off Bo Dallas.

[Black Dagger]

Is Richie dead or st? That should have been his spot.

[Black Dagger]

I hate the people this senile **** pushes to the moon. Ryback is awful

[Ramsay]

Ryback and Cena will be final 2 :bored:

[Stu]

Jericho and Ziggler put on a hell of a performance throughout. Well done, lads.

[Ramsay]

Yeah Jericho has still got it

[Ramsay]

Ziggler is the future you can tell Y2J loves him lol

[Iceman]

lets go goldberg

[Black Dagger]

Urgh, utterly disgusting.

[Stu]

Annnnnnnnnnnd the match is dead.

[Ramsay]

oh **** off you ginger ****
come on ryback, urgh

[Ramsay]

the exact same way he eliminated jericho last year too, pfffft

[Stu]

Fans want Ziggler to do well. He is our chosen guy. Why not go with what we say?

He'll win the title in a bollocks manner in an opening match or dirty cash in and have a crappy run with it :(.

[Ramsay]

It should be special it should of been him unifying them at WM :(

[Ramsay]

cena will ''overcome'' the odds :(
