This match:

:banderas

 

That was a solid promo by Seth Rollins last night, and the match he had against Drew McIntyre was good too

Hopefully, Rollins wins the rumble match this Sunday after entering from an early spot :mark:

 

Supporting Seth to win the rumble this Sunday i just hope it's just him and not a 50/50 win tied with Drew or Braun.

For the record, I have Seth Rollins on my roster here :rollins

 

The Seth/Drew match was very good. I can imagine it been revisited once Seth has won the UV title:smile2:

 

Seth, and others, reacting to the Rumble match from last year. He even says he's not sure if he loves or hates his fire pants (hopefully he hates them) :lol

 

Latest betting odds from 5Dimes..

Spoiler: Men's Rumble betting odds

Current favorites to win the Men's Rumble...

Seth Rollins -110
Braun Strowman +265
Drew McIntyre +400

The others aren't close with the next one being Cena at +900 and then Owens at +3500

I don't see them having Drew winning the Rumble so it truly is between Rollins and Braun and personally I think Rollins will get the win.

We'll see how it goes come Sunday.

 

Who in their right mind wants to see Braun win the rumble lol

 

I remember last year Seth lost on the go-home show to a PPV and I thought for sure he would lose at the PPV (forget which PPV it was), and he won. I don't think they do it like that as much as they used to. Also, the win was an excuse me win after a small package; not exactly a big, dominating win. I could see it as just wanting to give Seth alittle bit of momentum if he's going to win the Rumble since it's not like he's been booked crazy strong recently. The gambling sites have been wrong in the past, too. We shall see. I'm fine with him winning and even not winning. It's on WWE. It's their terribly booked company, as we know.

WWE had an artist remake the popular 1991 Rumble poster for this year's Rumble:




:mark:

 

Why did Seth get put in his fire pants in that artwork? The fire pants are the WORST!!! :lmao

Otherwise, yeah, really cool. Love that Dean's part of it as well.

 

Yeah, I thought that, too. But I'm just so glad he's in it and in the front row that I'm willing to not care about it. :lol This is the best PPV poster they've done in ages. I love it.

 

4 years ago tonight, Rollins/Brock/Cena for the Title at the 2015 Royal Rumble. Crazy that was a full 4 years ago tonight. Rollins being a heel and still getting a standing O after the match.

:banderas



Just watched the match and even though I knew the result I still found my heart beating faster during the last few minutes of the match. Such a great match. Hasn't been a triple threat like it in WWE since then.

 

One of the best triple threat matches.

 

Those flame pants are pretty "90's" though. They technically fit the essence of the recreated poster, but still they're awful :lol

 

Alittle Tyler Black ROH action, teaming with Hideo Itami here (aka KENTA in ROH) vs. Austin Aries & Katsuhiko Nakajima. That God's Last Gift at the end. I really hope they let him start to do that move in WWE more.

 

Of course the usual entitled fan, as expected

 

Meh, don't really care about stuff like that anymore. It's boring.

So, where do you guys see Seth entering the Rumble today? I could see the case for him entering 1 or 2, but I have a feeling he enters around 9 or 10 for some reason.

Needless to say, I'm pumped for tonight. IT'S THE ROYAL RUMBLE.

Dude, you FUCKING called it :sodone

I predicted that Seth Rollins was going to enter at #8 to begin with, but I was only 2 spots off :lol

I think he'll enter #1 or #2 and go all the way to win it. He'll serve as the iron man for it.

With Balor, Styles and Bryan already in matches I think they'll need Rollins in the iron man spot. Wether Ambrose is out early as well, we will see.

Not sure when he'll enter but I think they'll give Mustafa Ali a good iron man run as well.

You were fucking right about Seth Rollins and Mustafa Ali being the top 2 ironmen :sodone

You were also right about Dean Ambrose being eliminated earlier to a lesser extent :nice
Edit:

I'll post more of my thoughts about Rollins later when I'm caught up with the rest of this fan thread.

Anyone else fuming from Dean, Joe, Nakamura and Ali's eliminations?

I didn't really mind any of their eliminations besides Mustafa Ali because Nia Jax had NO business eliminating him considering how he lasted an impressive 30 minutes.

Dean Ambrose lasted 12 minutes, which is fairly reasonable; but it still could've been way worse. Ambrose was in there for a decent period of time. Plus, Dean Ambrose got to compete in the same ring as Seth Rollins, Johnny Gargano, Samoa Joe, Kofi Kingston, Mustafa Ali, Drew McIntyre, Pete Dunne, Andrade, and Aleister Black. ALL of those names I mentioned are pretty solid wrestlers, so it was cool seeing Ambrose compete with those names with the full time he had. He at least got 1 elimination on Johnny Gargano.

Samoa Joe lasted 23 minutes, which is an impressive showing. He got to compete with most of those names I mentioned, and getting eliminated by Mustafa Ali was a good way to put him over in their mini-feud together. Samoa Joe also got 3 eliminations on Big E, Curt Hawkins, and No Way Jose; so at least he looked kinda dominant last night.

Shinsuke Nakamura lasted 17 minutes, which is a fairly impressive showing. He did pull double duty tonight since he beat Rusev for the United States title earlier on in the pre-show. Nakamura could've easily lasted a few minutes, but he didn't. He got a reasonable amount of TV time in the rumble. Plus, getting eliminated by Mustafa Ali was a good way to put him over. Hell, it would be a cool way of inserting Ali into the US title scene as a contender for Nakamura's belt. Shinsuke Nakamura also got 1 elimination over Kurt Angle, who is also a legendary Hall of Famer.

Basically, the only problem I had with any of those guys you mentioned was how Nia Jax eliminated Mustafa Ali; but they kinda made up for that by having Dolph Ziggler Superkick her, Rey Mysterio 619 her, and Randy Orton RKO her. They at least had the decency to have Ali last a half-hour too.

You're right about the wrestling though. The in-ring action throughout the rumble match was fucking enjoyable for the most part. Seriously, the number of great wrestlers in this rumble match is INSANE!! There were at least 3-5 pretty good wrestlers who shared the ring at the same time throughout most of this rumble. The booking/structure of the rumble match may have been awkward at times, but the action mostly made up for that.

I strongly recommend giving this men's rumble match a rewatch whenever you feel like it to see what I mean. It's better when you don't expect to see over-the-top surprise entrants, and just focus on the full-time current talents in this rumble match

This is too precious!

Also Seth rocking a fanny pack :lol

Seth Rollins and Sasha Banks making Ryan's day :banderas

Seth Rollins looked SO emotional when he cut his promo in the opening segment. You can tell that rumble win meant a lot to Rollins. Hell, even Triple H got emotional tonight because he's that proud of him roud

Seth Rollins went on to have a decent match with Dean Ambrose, AND he stood up to Brock Lesnar in the closing segment :mark:

Rollins getting "take his belt" chants and "slay the beast" chants last night :banderas

 

I think he'll enter #1 or #2 and go all the way to win it. He'll serve as the iron man for it.

With Balor, Styles and Bryan already in matches I think they'll need Rollins in the iron man spot. Wether Ambrose is out early as well, we will see.

Not sure when he'll enter but I think they'll give Mustafa Ali a good iron man run as well.

 

Yeah, I could see them allowing Ali to have a run tonight. Also, if Velveteen Dream and Aleister Black are in it tonight, I could also see them making their mark in the Rumble, as well. It's good for them to get some new blood in there, if they do that.

 

He's gotta be an early entrant. I've been getting that feeling the past month or so. But I expect he'll put on a hell of a performance.

As far as that entitled fan, looks like she deleted the tweet. Most likely because she was getting "hate" when it was really people telling her to get over herself :lol

 

Seth should pull a HBK and win from the number 1 spot, Can't really see anyone else winning tbh.

 

Barring some surprise entrant coming out of left field and taking the win, Braun is really the only other possible option I could see winning it.

Drew won't win it, specially with how his Axxess meet and greet was supposedly cancelled due to lack of attendance.

I think Rollins is winning it, doubt they'll go with Braun/Lesnar for Mania. Specially with, as I believe, Lesnar not really liking/respecting Braun.

 

Even if people don't like it, Rollins is the smart choice to win the Rumble and take the title off of Brock. He's got the fans on his side and he'll help make the title actually mean something again. He was able to do it with the IC title. Seth is also beatable so guys like Braun and Drew, or even Finn, will eventually get their chances at being Universal champion.

At this point, the title just needs to be off Brock and given some credibility. Seth is the right guy to do that.

 

Could be Rollins' night tonight. I think he'll enter at #6.

 

WE FUCKIN' DID IT, GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rollins
