Royal Rumble 2016 PBP and discussion

[Count Zero]

Didn't see a dedicated thread for the PPV, and figured we might not want to clog up the general discussion thread.

Please, no spoilers ! Only discuss what happens on air, kind ladies and gents !

Thread theme:



Who will be the big surprise(s) ? Will it be a terribly-kept secret or a true shocker ?

 

[Bonos]

Is Triple H a lock? Odds are crazy in his favor.

 

[Hitman81]

Just have it be a surprise. That's all I'm hoping for. I don't want to see Roman just overcome every thing and win and don't want to see HHH in tights ever again.

 

[Bebop]

can we make a note to either ban (potential) spoilers or require spoiler tags?

Ugh I really hope it is a true surprise - not Roman or HHH. Anyone but them will do.

And I hope beyond that, there is one true crazy surprise. Even if it's like a terribly-kept secret ... Daniel Bryan, or AJ Styles. Or something unexpected but not shocking ... like RVD, or Balor getting called up. Or something completely out of nowhere, like ... well, I don't even know. Something more wild than I can think of, haha ...

And as far as the finish, yeah ... anyone but Roman or HHH. So many people they could do amazing things with, with that push (Owens, Balor, hell AJ Styles if he debuts ... the shock value alone, how much that changes the entire landscape ...). Or so many feel-good stories (Daniel Bryan, Sami Zayn, Kalisto looool). Or so many solid / maybe mildly surprising choices (Lesnar, Ambrose, ADR).

HHH or RR are the most boring, stale options out of the dozen or so AMAZING other options they have already in-house, not to mention any of the big surprises they could go with.

Please don't screw this up tonight.

Good call. I edited main post, don't see an option for me to edit title tho

Lawler still with the tired short jokes on Kalisto. Renee laughed but even Graves as a heel announcer just shook his head in disapproval. The only thing that offends me more is that Lawler still insists on wearing Affliction-like gear when his co-panelists are in suits and dresses.

 

[Joseph Budden]

lets gooo Henry and Swagger

So basically they took Henry out of the Rumble so they can put him on a pre-show match that has the stakes that the winning team gets to go to the Rumble. Sounds more like a way to try to draw interest in the pre-show match.

The tags between Sandow and Young look like awkward high fives.

The Ascencion look like they stole Brie Bella's tights

Botched up finish

Social Outcasts need to be pushed to main event asap

You mean JOB Squad 2.0? Which is a shame because there is talent there.
