Re: WWE Royal Rumble 2014 LIVE Discussion Thread

I really, really want Batista to win the rumble now.

Purely for the butthurt that'll be the result of it. So many people have Bryan pegged to win this, despite the fact that

a) WWE have gone out of the way to not include him in the build and keep him with Bray. DB even said in a promo "Harper & Rowan are in the rumble, that leaves Bray for me". That indicates he has other plans for the evening.

b) A lot of people seem to think WWE can't be stupid enough to not capitalise on his popularity. And to that, I point you to the last 6 months of booking.

c) WWE brought back Batista for a reason. Batista has a big blockbuster film out this summer, he doesn't need this gig. Why now, why not 2 years ago? Batista has been pretty against PG in interviews, what convinced him to come back? Had to be something special planned for him, right? I doubt that plan is coming back with a load of hype, having instant interaction with the champ, and then putting Bryan over. C'mon son.

Now of course, if I'm wrong I'll take my defeat like a champ as always, but C'MON PEOPLE HE'S NOT GOING TO WIN!

----------------------------------------------------------------

In other news, Sky Bet have some hilarious odds going on. Billy Gunn at 33/1 is a personal highlight :lol:

Eh, he doesnt have to win the rumble to fulfill his hype. He could compete with ADR, or maybe even Reigns at Mania, and still keep momentum.

Re: WWE Royal Rumble 2014 LIVE Discussion Thread

I feel like Punk would be an obvious choice and that's why he's going to make it real close to the end only to be screwed by The Authority. Reigns will eliminate his partners and dominate but he's not quite ready for a win like this. Bryan is an obvious choice and would be perfect but we don't know if he'll even be in the match... tough one tonight which is great. Can't wait to enjoy it. I won't be out since I always watch the Rumble with at a friends, but enjoy the show guys!

The New Age Outlaws as the Tag Team Champions in 2014, never thought I'd see the day.

Re: WWE Royal Rumble 2014 Preview + LIVE Discussion Thread

Daniel Bryan is over as fuck as usual and hopefully the crowd stays like this 'cause that'll just make the rumble more epic.

And I think if Bryan loses this match he'll need to be in the rumble, but if he wins I don't know if he will be... so kinda hoping he loses. :p

The ideal situation is Daniel Bryan loses thanks to interference then later on takes out either Rowan or Harper and enters the Rumble in their place.

This would be a great way to push forward with everyone. Plus what better way for DB to get over then to finally dethrone Randy Orton at WrestleMania.
