Regarding B7 and 8:

 

Based on the amount of people that submit picks, everyone will be given a random entrant number via a random number generator (because we can't all pick from a hat). I'll post the results for everyone to see. Whoever has the entrant number of each Rumble's winner will get 4 points    
  

Everyone will have an equal number of entrants. So, most likely, there will be a few entrants that don't belong to anyone. If one of those wins. Welp. Too bad, I guess.

Considering I almost exclusively have Raw and SD on as background noise while I do other stuff... 3rd place is pretty decent!

 

Both RR matches are pretty hard to pick this year seeing as the build has been pretty quiet, pretty sure I'll be spectacularly wrong on these!

Fair enough. I linked a wiki article about it, though it may not have been that apparent depending on how the link showed up for you  

 

1 hour ago, Blackjak said:

Cheating Scandal?

 

tl;dr.... While at their home field during the 2017 and 2018 seasons  The Astros used video cameras and various audio cues (including hitting a bat against a trash can  ) to tip off their batters what pitches were coming at them. This gives an incredibly significant advantage and almost certainly is a reason they won  the World Series in 2017. Sign stealing (which is what they did) isn't technically illegal, but is frowned upon, especially to the degree that it happened and the penalties and fallout that have happened in the past couple weeks are pretty much unheard of in Baseball. 

 

So a heel wrestler or Manager referencing it for some cheap heat is not out of the question. Looking at you, Heyman. 

 

Honestly, I'm hoping Corbin puts a trash can over Roman, and hits it with a bat in a very baseball-just-hit-a-homerun manner.   

 

[Skaraarian 6]

Thanks, that makes a lot more sense!

 

Funny what is and isn't acceptable in different sports. When you compare it to the ball-tampering scandal in the cricket (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Australian_ball-tampering_scandal) where they were literally roughing up the ball with sandpaper, it almost doesn't sound that bad!

[Garlic Junior 136]

23 and 24 are sweet picks

 

PS Ilja v Finn was hype but I don't agree with the ending

 

PPS KLR vs Mia was HYPE and better than Finn v Ilja

 

PPPS Get well soon Wolfe, Drake MVP

[Blackjak 57]

You have different numbers for the women's match, if you didn't know. 

[MT 897]

Women's Rumble spoiler

 

Shayna should've won, but it's not surprising in the least that Charlotte won. There were so many opportunities for someone coming into the Rumble after Charlotte got tossed out to throw her back in the ring, and then throw her right back out over the top. People could've done it from the inside as well, but nope. That'd make too much sense.

 

Oh and major props to Beth for continuing after hitting her head like that. I sure hope she's alright.

[Garlic Junior 136]

Tamina and Zelina? I had no chance.

 

Women's Rumble:

 

 

I wondered why Beth was still in it after bleeding but I didn't see that coming.

 

 

God awful ending. Charlotte again proving herself incapable of hitting the major spots. If you mess it up THAT badly, don't repeat it. Do something different. Fucking amateur hour on one of the biggest stages. Awful.

 

Also Sarah Logan got fucked badly by booking.

 

Bianca looks like a star now.

 

Felt bad Nikki's elimination was a bit muted. Would have liked to see Alexa crawl under the ropes and scream a goodbye or something.

 

Why is Chelsea Green cosplaying as Sasha Banks? Also I thought she was in AEW??

You're probably thinking of Britt Baker.

 

Men's Rumble

 

 

Nice of them to give us half of a RR match. The beginning wasn't surprising in the slightest, but it was still boring as shit. Glad to see Drew got the win.

 

Also, that Edge moment when he first came out, I got teary eyed. And to see him be in the final 3? That's amazing.

Last major company she worked for was Impact.

 

Also her manager is cosplaying as Tony Khan
 

 

 

Rumbles itself

 

 

 

I've skipped every one of their segments for months, but that Roman/Corbin match was badass

 

Bianca Belair and Beth Phoenix were the Women's Rumble badasses. Beth looked better than half the women in there, and the blood made it even better.

 

Skipped both women's title matches. Fiend/Bryan suffered.

 

My hopes of a Brock/Walter meeting in the Rumble, dashed by Keith Lee and Braun Strowman ;_;

 

I loved that Edge called Randy "kid" after he tossed him out

 

Finally lighting the rocket under Droo, I approve

[Garlic Junior 136]

Matt Riddle & Like Gallows were infinitely better than the women's picks

[Garlic Junior 136]

 

Overall, I enjoyed the Men's Rumble a lot. I wondered how ridiculous they were gonna take the first half. Guarantee that if it were Reigns in that spot for the second half they'd make him go 14. THAT is the difference why Reigns never got over and others have.

[MT 897]

Men's Rumble spoiler

 

[Garlic Junior 136]

Can only assume it was intentional as it happened to him specifically several times

[Garlic Junior 136]

 

Caught up on some of the other matches. Lynch v Asuka was good. Dunno why people are calling the Universal match Bray Wyatt's best ever, was a total snoozefest.

[Psycho666Soldier 271]

Best ever?  I'm not sure about that.  But I definitely didn't think it was a snoozefest.

[Vic Boss 610]

I think the only thing I really loved from that match was the mid-air Sister Abigail.

[Psycho666Soldier 271]

 

I thought it was a really well-booked match with well-timed drama, good spots, and being able to tell a story and give a compelling match without relying on high spots.  But different strokes, I guess.

This for sure.  I think it beats everything else we've had so far.  Though, I did really like the first Rollins match other than the finish.
