2024 Pro Wrestling Thread

I thought it was weird that Orton would be the last man standing two weeks in a row, then BAM, they do the Triple H special and have Knight take him down after the copyright flashes.

As for tomorrow, some of my humble predictions:

- If they main with the four-way, we get Dwayne at the end once Roman inevitably wins by shenanigans

- Women's Rumble will have the return of Naomi and debut of Jade. Probably the usual assortment of past stars, including Mickie since her hubby is there, and Tiffany, Lyra and Roxanne from NXT. Thinking Bayley wins to set up her vs. Iyo.

- Men's Rumble will have Bron, Carmelo and Trick from NXT, and either Carmelo or Trick will eliminate the other to continue that fuss. I could've seen Matt Cardona as a shock entry, but he's on Jericho's cruise. The ultimate feel-good would be Big E, though. Punk will win.

 

When I saw the pic of eladio on twitter i read el idilo and i thought we finally had andrade back. Whoops.

 

Has one of the Rumble matches ever not been the main event at its own PPV?

 

According to the Wiki gods: 1988 (Islanders/Young Stallions), 1996 (Bret/Taker), 1997 (Sid/Shawn), 1998 (Shawn/Taker), 2013 (Punk/Rock) and 2023 (Roman/Owens w/ the Sami split from the Bloodline).

 

Buh-bye, Vince.

 

Ha! When you go to the link where Vince's page should be among the other superstars:

 

Looks the Usos at No 1 and No 2 is almost a certainty

Looks like Bayley has 1 or 2 as well ….. wonder if she’ll have a best friend/bitter enemy to greet her ….

 

Predictions? Here’s mine:

Men’s RR: Gunther (Should be Cody, but they’ve been hinting so much at Rock-Reigns it’s pretty clear Cody’s not finishing his story this year)

Women’s RR: Bayley (after dumping Asuka or another DC member out behind their back toward the end)

 

I got Bayley and the Rock.

They want Mondays podcasts talking about “holy shit the rumble” instead of VKM….. time to pull the trigger, that’ll do it

 

I'm sticking with Punk and Bayley. If we are getting Rock/Roman, I think that'll be set up elsewhere -- perhaps even the Chamber, since the Aussies were pushing hard for Rock to be there. My thinking is the winner of the Rumble will get Seth (or whoever is the Raw champ if Seth can't make it), while the winner of the Chamber will get Roman.

I'm also thinking we'll get Andrade in the men's Rumble, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say we'll get AJ Lee in the women's Rumble. Especially since she's flirted with training lately, and the Punk family is back in good graces with WWE.

Speaking of Punk, a good video of him training at the PC. Nice nugget on Steve Corino saying Bron Breakker is the fastest he's ever seen running the ropes. I can attest to that from watching him play football for four years at Kennesaw State. For a guy his size, he's ridiculously fast.

 

Well, strike out Ronda for any surprise appearance in the Rumble.

 

Im sure that would be news to HHH, who is most definitely running creative
