CM Punk & Wrestling's Best Storyline in Years...

[battlecatmeowstab212]

I can't take AJ Styles seriously because of his extreme conservative views (though I'm sure other wrestlers think like him, they're usually smart enough to keep quiet about it).

Is Styles that extremely conservative though? There's the "gay community" clip, but that sounds more surprised than angry and it's the shock jock DJs interviewing him who hang up on the caller and frame themselves to be homophobic.

He also used to call guys "faggot" loudly during matches and feuds, but I don't think he's done that since 2003.

I do think you should give his Highspots or 'Missing Matches' shoots a try. You can tell he's personality wise a down to Earth guy, so his perspective on the insanity that's been TNA during its entire run is the best description of what's gone on there that I've ever heard.

keeping that haircut is like taking TNA with him wherever he goes

Kenta/Breeze was dope. Breeze's new finisher looked awesome. Kenta needs one though. Let the man use the GTS.

He's a far right Christian zealot.

I know he's a practicing Christian, but where does this talk of him as a zealot come from?

Is anyone else excited about Tough Enough coming back? I definitely am.

[Brougham33]

Excited about the return as well. Personal favorite Tough Enough moment, Stone Cold and Naomi:

Are you guys thinking that the Royal Rumble won't close the PPV this year?

If they're going to build to Cena-Rusev, maybe Ryback eliminates Rusev from the Rumble match and Rusev later costs Cena the title because he's mad Cena got Ryback's job back?

Nah man.

That final shot of the winner of the Rumble pointing to the Wrestlemania sign is a staple.

[battlecatmeowstab212]

Let's have a thread wide game.

Which NUMBER do you think is going to win the Royal Rumble this year?
(no picking a number somebody else picks)

[LilLeftBrain]

gimme that 18

[Pizon]

I'm pulling for Bryan, so I'll go with 9.

[Brougham33]

17 belee dat.

[blastmaster]

12

[mike eagle]

20

[tehgiftofgab]

Edit** changing my pick to 6 and 23 runner up unless someone else wants it lol

[Sylissez]

I'll go with 16.

[battlecatmeowstab212]

I'm taking 26.

[hustler]

17. my favorite number. the day i was born. and its tiestos favorite number. also its the locker number i always use at the gym.

[zappy]

i'll take 5

[BigCat8]

Gimme 13.

[Kalel]

2.

[hustler]

17 has never won. most common is anywhere between 20-30. only 7 people who entered the match as one of the first ten competitors have ever won it. the first entrant has won the rumble twice.

steve austin hulk hogan and shawn michaels are the only competitors to have won back to back rumbles.
austin holds the record for most rumble wins with 3.

[battlecatmeowstab212]

steve austin is the only competitor to have won back to back rumbles,

Except for Hulk Hogan ('90, '91) and Shawn Michaels ('95, '96).

[ObeseJesus]

I'm assuming they don't want Bryan in there for the whole Rumble since he's fresh back from the injury, but he still needs to look like he overcame the odds so I'm guessing around 15.

that happened before my time

i always find it kinda lame when the 30th dude wins it. or anyone who came in super late for that matter. if you are in the 25-30 then you SHOULD win it. i know its all scripted but u know what i mean. also theres only ever like 4 dudes who realistically have a shot at winning it, so when kofi kingston runs out there, everyone is thinking the same thing..gee wonder how long till he gets knocked out so we can keep things moving along.

[blastmaster]

Kinda hope Orton just wins it.

[ObeseJesus]

^^Yeah, I'm hoping they do Orton's return right. Before they wrote him off TV, Orton was finally interesting for the first time in years. I'd take a #30 "surprise" Orton entrance with him running in and RKO-ing everyone in the Authority and winning over Reigns winning all day.

[Pizon]

The Rock is in Philly and reportedly staying at the WWE hotel. Surprise entrant? Could he actually win?

I know they've wanted Brock-Rock at Mania...

[blastmaster]

Tweener Orton RKOing everyone is he best possible Orton.

Perfect time for a Cena heel turn by the way since it looks like they are teasing a Brock face turn. Cena and Heyman swerve. Call the AA the FU again, diss the kids, make out sessions with Bella in the ring and drop the belt to Bryan at WM.
