Anyone here pumped for The Rumble?

 

Not really.

The only WWE Superstar I like atm is AJ Styles & he's already the WWE Champion.

So found this on Tumblr.

So, the show of shows, the grandest stage of them all, the show case of the immortals, the most glorious wrestling show of the year,  is only a week away.

5. IWGP heavyweight tag titles: K.E.S. defending against World Tag League winners Evil & Sanada
6. N.E.V.E.R. Openweight title: Minoru Suzuki defending against Hirooki Goto in a Hair vs. Hair match.
7. IWGP Jr. heavyweight title: Marty Scurll defending against Hiromu Takehashi, Kushida & Will Ospray in a fatal 4 way.
8. IWGP Intercontinental title: Hiroshi Tanahashi defending against Jay White
9. IWGP United States title: Kenny Omega defending against Chris Jericho in a no DQ match.
10. IWGP World Heavyweight title: Kazuchika Okada defending against 2017 G1 Climax winner Tetsuya Naito

So predictions are as follow:

1. Manabu Nakinishi
2. Roppongi 3K retain
3. War Machine/Elgin win the tag ttitles

The latest fruit of my random browsing on Google:

 

 

Alas, Cena could probably be hit with the Elements themselves... and still kick out at 2.

Some more in depth insight for next weeks WrestleKingdom show.

 

[Dan. 1,825]

They might actually give it to Rollins this year which I hope they do.

[Ziltoid the Omniscient 286]

For the Rumble im rooting for either Rollins or Nakamura cause those are my favorites right now.

[Dan. 1,825]

@Taiyang Xiao Long rumor mill has it that Rhonda Rousey will be in the woman's rumble.

[Ziltoid the Omniscient 286]

Even Ronda Rousey isnt ready for Asuka.

[Patty Thundersnow 4,129]

For the Men's Rumble, I'm thinking Shinsuke or Rollins, but it's really a crapshoot.

For the Women's Rumble, Asuka no doubt. I honestly don't see the WWE ending her win streak in a rumble match.

[Denim&Venöm 16,503]

Some interviews with the participants of the most talked about match in wrestling today.

Why can't WWE rivalries be this sophisticated? 

[Denim&Venöm 16,503]

For those that are interested, I have set up my annual wrestling awards. Voting is now open! Go nuts.

Voting ends on the 31st. 

 

[Scootaloo Is Best Filly 576]

I am really hoping for Strowman to win the rumble. I know he al ready has a title shot but I can see in my mind that lesnar wins after pinning Kane and than strowman becoming an entrant in the rumble as well.

Some Wrestle Kingdom 12 thoughts.

 

Spoiler

 

• My favorite match from what I saw of Wrestle Kingdom 12 was the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship match.
• Jericho/Omega was too predictable for me to find it exciting, TBH. 
• Okada/Naito was good but I would've liked to have seen Naito win for some reason.

I too really enjoyed the Jr. 4 way. After that my favorites would be the Never title match and the U.S. title match. 

Overall, not quite as good as last year's WrestleKingdom or even the one prior, but still a very solid show. And it did them big numbers. Just a hair under 35,000 in attendance, and over 25,000 new subscribers to their network. 

 

A lot of people wanted Naito to win. But in hind sight, it's probably best that he didn't. 

Also, some fun insight on how Kenny and Y2J planned out their match.

They announced officially that Bill Goldberg as the first inductee of the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2018.

Granted, his contributions to the world of pro wrestling are truly worthy of induction. However I feel that it should be the Undertaker headlining the HOF for this year. unless they plan on announcing it later or he's not officially retired yet.

Bill Goldberg def deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Undertaker will be put in there at some point. I think there's gonna be a Taker vs. Cena match at mania

I agree. I think that Taker will challenge Cena at the Raw 25th Anniversary Special Next Monday, since it's rumored that he will be there.

[Denim&Venöm 16,503]

Personally, me thinks they should've inducted him at WM 27 in Atlanta. Y'know, the place where he played for the Falcons and won the WCW world title?

When has WWE *ever* cared about things making sense?

Honestly, I think undertaker/Cena match for WM might be issued next week. I can’t wait till next week. Me growing up in Jersey I could not pass up the opportunity and bought tickets to the raw at Barclays center. Should be awesome!

I dunno. Odds makers have Cena winning the rumble so he could break Ric Flair's "record".

Which one?

 

Didn't John Cena already break Ric Flair's sixteen championship record?*

 

*I think Flair's won more but I mean as far as WWE is willing to recoginize.
