/asprowrestling/ General: RUIN RUMBLE EDITION

What if Vince is playing us all and delivers the best rumble in ages

The last two times VKM has made a stipulation we got SS 2014 (Great match) and Roman winning on Raw (Better than anything he's ever done).

Cautiously optimistic.

Will smarks be butthurt again when Jerigoat wins the Rumble?

>>863010
>Jericho
>winning anything
top kek

YFW AJ Styles debuts at the Rumble and wins it.

>>863028
Would they push AJ Styles higher than Cena?

So after being in the Royal Rumble for almost a year, do you think Curtis Axel will win it?

>Royal Rumble comes down to #30 with only three guys left in the ring
>Bray Wyatt intro hits
>In the darkness you hear "...anyone...but you"
>Lights come up and only Roman and Bray are in the ring
>Roman spins around to immediately get Sister Abigail'd
>Bray motions to Strowman and drags Roman to the edge of the ring
>Strowman reaches over and pulls Roman up and over the ropes, slams him down outside the ring
>Bray lifts the WWE Title, proclaims that the WWE is his now
>The Authority and Vinny come out, freaking the fuck out. This was worse than they hoped for.
>The Wyatt Family beat them down, Stephanie screams so much her titties jiggle for the audience
>Follow the Buzzards, etc.

Book it better than me senpai

>>863143
Pretty gud desu

>>863143
A second Ministry might be slightly interesting if the Wyatt family hasn't been proved to be a bunch of clowns time and time again, especially their leader. Harper's the only entertaining one of the bunch.

Book it. Book it all.

Big Show should win the Rumble and then win the Wrestlemania and then retire the next night on a special Big Show appreciation night of Raw

Royal Rumble Drinking Game:

>Swig every time Roman Reigns eliminates someone
>Chug if, later on, his "champions advantage" is the #30 spot
>Chug if Dean Ambrose eliminates Roman Reigns
>Drink if Kofi does another sick near-elimination stunt
>Drink for every surprise return
>Drink (and, if necessary, sob) again the day after if it turns out that return was one night only
>Chug two drinks if McMahon somehow commits Montreal tomfoolery to cost Roman the title in the match
>Pour one for a homie that lasted <5 seconds in the match
>Drink for NXT callup entrant

Any suggestions?

>>863143

>Rumble ring comes down to Reigns and the #28 entrant, HHH.
>Trips hits the pedigree on Ramen, getting ready to eliminate him in front of a clamoring Vince at ringside.
>Countdown reaches zero, horn sounds for #29
>IF YA SMELLLLLLLLL
>Everyone's favorite JaBrony rushes into the ring, beating down Haitch because of course Rock is gonna be face for his cuz
>Roman recovers, lines up a Superman Punch on Haitch
>Rock complements him with the most electrifying move in sports entertainment...the People's Elbow!
>Haitch rises up in a daze, stumbles toward the ropes, and is speared out by Reigns.
>Rock and Reigns stare out at Vinny Mac, who looks a bit crestfallen.
>Suddenly, Rock grabs Reigns, low blows, and rock bottoms him over the top rope and to the floor.
>Rock looks down at the fallen Reigns, smirks, then looks at Vince, who is grinning from ear to ear.
>Haitch stumbles over to Vince and gives Rock a thumbs up, then tosses him a pair of aviators.
>The Rock dons his shades and turns up his head like in his old heel days. All seems lost to the Authority as number 30 counts down.
>The buzzer sounds.

Does the Road to WrestlingMania still begin at the Rumble even if the challenger isn't determined by the bout?

>>863068
Do you think AJ Styles was only offered money? I have a feeling that all of this is a setup for Styles to win the Rumble.

I hope HHH comes in last and eliminates Roman with his golden shovel.

>>863445
It does when Roman loses and still gets a title shot at the Rumble anyway

I swear, if they ever make KO champ, the ratings are going to hit their records lows.

>>864127
Owens is the next Austin.
Accept it.

>>864124
tbf Roman Reigns vs Daniel Bryan was one of his better matches, in fact Reigns had everything going for him around Wrestlemania apart from the support of the fans. I actually liked this match as well as the Wrestlemania main event, it just felt bad because everyone was cheering for Brock and not him. I dunno, it made things interested at least. This is the reality era still I suppose and the that was the reality, he is the top face but then hes not really.

>>864108

God damn it I love Vince, but God damn it I hate Vince.

I recently watched all PPVs from elimination chamber to TLC in like 2-3 days, because I stopped watching this year before elimination chamber and I had to play catchup, but I didn't wanna go through weeks of Raw and Smackdown so I said fuck it, just watch all the PPVs

and I was seriously wondering, either these shows were all shit or I'm getting tired of wrestling

>>864123

>>864152
>WWE managed to get fans to hate the Rumble before it happened

I'm actually impressed.

Here's what's gonna happen at RR

Kurt angle comes in and eliminates rusev
Samo Joe comes in and eliminates Kurt angle
Sting comes in and eliminates Joe
Taker comes in and eliminates sting
Cena comes in and eliminates taker
Aj styles comes in and eliminates Cena
Nakameme comes in and eliminates styles
Dbry comes in and eliminates swagsuke
Roman eliminates dbry
Haitch eliminates Roman
Jericho eliminates new day and ambrose and wyatt family and haitch to win the RR

Reminder that the Rumble is soon, so I'll be doing the Entrant Bet again. Depending on how many matches this PPV has it might be instead of the usual /asp/ Predicts or at the same time (no point doing the prediction chart for 3-4 matches). Here's the one we had in 2014.

Both were similar in execution, CM Punk getting on the mic in the ring waiting for next rumble entry, though I'd say nexus one was better since there were more of them to go with the strength in numbers thing, just pisses me off when it was Super Cena who ended that =/
At least Cena didn't win, if I recall it was Del Rio.

>>864195
the order would go like this though


Some TLC with luchas Dudley's and Usos
Samoa Joe vs Finn for nxt title
Kurt angle vs rusev
New gay and big show vs Wyatt's

Sting vs taker
Haitch vs Roman

However there's something wrong with this.
Where is Dolph Ziggler, Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens, Social Outcasts and Brock Lesnar?

>Though not a member of the Bullet Club, Nakamura remains one of the most popular wrestlers outside of WWE. Displaying a flamboyant charisma comparable to Freddie Mercury, but possessing the brutal strikes of an elite fighter, Nakamura roomed with Daniel Bryan years ago in California when both were early into their sports-entertainment careers. During media tours for last year’s WrestleMania, Bryan even revealed he once proposed an inter-promotional match against Nakamura to WWE management.

He is doing this for big one money run so he can retire. He'll probably be upper mid card, maybe wrestle for the belt in a clusterfuck match or MITB but not win. I see him doing 2 years max.

not to mention he wont have to fly to japan for an extended period of time and miss family stuff, he can get home faster for a few days at least.

Considering he got eliminated from it the next night on Raw, no.
Or if you are a smartass that says it is not the same ring so it doesn't count, Hornswaggle has been in the rumble much longer, and Maven lasting a whole year didn't help him win it.

We're guaranteed a Reigns, Triple H, Jericho, Lesnar, and Cena final. The whole match is just going to be another "Look how strong Roman is" as he spears guys over the top rope for an hour. So much potential for a good rumble and they ruined it with Reigns.

Haitch wins just for a Wrestlemania match with Roman. Brock fights Rock at mania too.

>>865493
Ha, like you get to choose.

>>865638
Simple really. I collect your names the same way as /asp/ Predicts and use a RNG to determine everyone's place. First we only did the first 30 people, then so many people wanted in, we did 60 people (for the tag team edition). I figure this year HAS to be the Stable Edition, 4-5 people per entrant.

> Who 16-masterrace here?
Y'know, shit like that.

Winners will be the ones who's entrant wins, simple.

>>865667
Sounds simple enough, thanks!

The luck of the draw hasn't been good to be, since first year I got #26 (not bad) who was Ryback and the next year I got #7 (eh) who was Sin Cara.

>>865667
Alright so when do we get assigned entrance numbers

>>865719
I'm gonna open it a day earlier than the /asp/ Predicts (assuming I'm doing that, depending on the amount of matches we have this year). And I'll be adding the names as I go along, on Saturday / Sunday.

What's going to happen is the first 30 guys fill every spot, then the next 30 will be divided to their spots, I want even numbers. So it pays to get your name in as soon as possible.

>its another Best of NXT episode

>>864127

Things that prevent WWE from using a wrestler:

>murder-suicide
>ridiculously over-the-top known substance abuse

Beyond that, Vince'll drag even the dead to do his bidding. Not to mention the half-dead-who-should-have-been-granted-retirement-years-ago.

>>867023
that's all I wanted, here goes

post to follow

>>867023
>>867017
>>867024

this is designed to build intrigue and blow up the Wyatts as a main event level heel, if only for WM and to get Reigns over a little more (OP note: I don't like reigns, never have and thought he was 3rd best in shield. just dealing with cena2.0)

>rumble starts, usual stuff happens.
>Somewhere in between entrants 1-10 a Wyatt member comes out, maybe straw for his size.
>I think #1 would be ideal to set up the plan
>First Wyatt member is wearing a funky belt like type thing. Don't care what it actually is but the purpose is so he can attach himself to the top rope
>even when thrown out he's attached to the top rope so he can't go anywhere. hands/legs free to fight back but will take some shots.
>just picture like a strong belt around his waist and maybe handcuffed to the top rope? thought about just handcuffing like normal to top rope but that would lead to an ass whopping and I want a little realism
>rumble continues on
>other 2 wyatt members enter before #20 and do the same thing on the same side of the ring.
>now have 3 wyatt members attached to the top rope and impossible to eliminate. taking some shots but also nailing anyone that gets near the 3 of them.
>multiple clotheslines over top rope result in them never hitting the floor
>ring gets full of people and wyatts around #23
>ORLANDO, I'M HERE
>Bray unchains/unhooks the other members and they now have 4 v everyone else
>eliminate people like madmen
>ends with Reigns and the wyatts.
>reigns fights but is ultimately over powered and no more than 2 wyatts get eliminated
>new champ, Bray Wyatt

>spend entire run up to WM with bray on mic, essentially taking the role of vince in the fuck you reigns camp
>promos would be amazing and they can hide reigns shit promo ability

ends with wyatt putting over reigns (op note: unfortunately). Can even have vince pretend like he made a new ministry of darkness with the wyatts to end reigns reign.

>>867032
you can take bray face directly after this if you want but it adds a very credible heel (if built up right) AND should lead to the rumble being interested, assuming the announcers draw any attention to the plan and put over the nefarious tactics

make bray a worse dude to make reigns the guy that ends it.

never been done before but in the spirit of heels at the rumble (think lawler under the ring or Austin/Hart)

>>867032
>>867034

and in fact it would set up the next shitty, preWM ppv:

reigns vs the wyatt family (non bray) with a title shot at WM on the line. not sure if i like that since it will have him overcome the odds too soon but maybe some help from rock/ambrose someone will make it better?

>>867023
way to b8 me m8

>>867032
>>867034
>>867038
I agree that Brya and the rest of the Wyatts are the only credible heels that remain in the company. The league of nations are complete jobbers and have already proved that they cannot stand against Reigns. Having the Wyatts winning recently was a good start to making them threatening again, and they can prove their new force in the rumble as you said, eliminating most of the people, even Reigns and his friends (the usos and ambrose). I don't thing they need the belt thing, if Strowman enters first for the Wyatts he can hold on in the rings until the next Wyatt enters and with two Wyatts they can practically control the ring.

>>867070
ohhh, so you want same shit different day? 10-4

my idea is different and not done before. it shows intelligence and a plan all along, something which wrestling never has

for your idea why not even go full rumble troupe and have strawman come out first and then, GASP ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN AT THE RUMBLE here comes Rowan

>>867078
Or let Daniel return and win the Rumble. Then we have a 10/10 ppv

>>867090

>>867190
A little neck surgery can't stop American Dragon, the fucking guy has been cleared by NFL doctors (which deal more with concussions and have more experience than the WWE doctors). So if he let him return he will probably wrestle for the next 10 years without any serious injury, he just need to stop doing the diving headbutt.

>>867276
you missed my point. he might be medically cleared but I can guarnatee with the same level of certainty of your claims that every doctor has told him his quality of life will be effected down the road.

i don't like having that on my conscious. Seriously, watch mick foley walk sometime. breaks my heart and I cheered that fucker on like it was my job. remember vividly being in my friends basement, slice of pep/sausage/onion pizza in my mouth when Taker threw him off that cage. I wanted more, got more and now the fucker can't walk.

I don't want that guilt man. Loved me some D-bry and he did my favorite thing in wrestling too (turning with the belt) and he was an actual underdog.

having said all that I would love him to be a WM only performer maybe.....

>>867235
he was in his 40s though

>>867276
>(which deal more with concussions and have more experience than the WWE doctors
have you not watch the news in the last year? they are getting sued by the players a shit ton.

>>867287
The wrestlers know what they are doing, they put their bodies on the line to entertain people. Foley has stated that he will do all they things he did all over again if given the chance, so you shouldn't feel bad, they know the risks and they take them, not because of the money but because the love from the crowds.

>>867296
>you shouldn't feel bad
>not for the money but from the crowds

dude i get the high of performing in front of people, I do. i know he would do it all over again but it doesn't make me innocent in it. I'm older, smarter and more educated.

I don't want NFL players playing without the right safety equipment either

also I hate going back on the network to watch the shit I liked, literally is

What I mean is that they pretty much saved The Rock ass, when Austin got injured and Rocky was forced to lead the guys he only had his charisma, his technical skill was shit, thanks to Benoit, Guerrero and Malenko he could put some good matches and learned from them.

I'm a proud smark and I would support the fuck out of him as champ again. He's honestly too old for it but the state of the WWE is such shit that even flabby Fozzy Frontman would elevate the product.

>>871090
The only good version of Jericho as champ it's heel Jericho.

>>865641

>>867032
I'm the OP of that booking. Yours is good but it's awful similar to mine. The only difference is that instead of the typical Wyatt spookery, it's Wyatt domination. Still works, I like it.

>>871092
To be fair that's the only Jericho we've seen as champ.

I prefer him as a face. As a heel he always feels like he's trying too hard (except for his Undisputed Champ heel run which was GOAT).

love the guy to death, but I don't see him ever coming back to WWE. Which is a shame because I'd love to see camel clutch vs paragon hold at mania one day.

>>865425
>>865425

Go back to squaredcircle you faggot.

>>872945

I'm pretty sure he was on Raw in 2012.

>>872956
I don't think so. Last time I even heard about him was when Jinder Mahal was using the Camel Clutch as a finisher which I believe was in 2012.

Other then that I think WWE was going to make a Big Brother-esque show with old school wrestlers like Piper, Snuka and Sheik at some point and they asked people to vote on who they'd like to see in the house.

Hogan's scrubbed from WWE right now. Sheik was on Raw in 2009, I think. He's been on SmackDown a few times, too.

>>871769
I seriously hope you don't believe this. You're only setting yourself up for disappointment.

>>872981
i want to believe...

>>872978
He appeared once on RAW just to do the opening with Piper and Luis Guzmán. Then appeared once on Smackdown backstage with Slaughter. Meanwhile Piper has gotten to come out to the ring and do a staredown with The SHIELD on Piper's Pit. Even Rusev and Lana got to appear with him. Hell Slaughter got to fight Del Rio and Swagger in like 2010.

Sheik just gets to appear in backstage segments where they give him only a few lines and if he starts going off on Hogan they usually pan away and try to calm him down. If that's not proof enough Vince hates Sheik I don't know what is.

>>872997

Extremely Small given it seems wwe wants to avoid having the fans rebel after the past 2 rumbles

>person I want to win the rumble: Bray Wyat

>person who probably will win: Roman Reigns.

>>873195
>what the hell exactly happens that causes this ridiculous change when the only thing that's changed is their in the mainroster and in front of a bigger audience
They only gave the illusion that they could wrestle since their matches were rehearsed to death. Now they are on the main roster, they have little time to rehearse between house shows and fan events such that it exposes their mediocre ability.

>>875498
That explains why Undertaker only wrestles a couple of times per year

>>875480
i dont give a shit what these fags say, if bray wins I would mark the fuck out.

>>873195

Lots of things. Less time to prep/rehearse, less help from road agents, a lot more control from on high and vince being vince are the main ones. Being on the preshow doesn't help either - its the death slot and most workers know it.

Also the change in audience seems to throw some people. Its not just the size but the composition - raw/PPV crowds don't pop the same way or for the same thing as NXT crowds.

where is the download link?

>>875500
I actually would too, Bray deserves a title reign, the bastard has been the work horse for the company since all their stars are getting rekt

Why do they refuse to pull the trigger on a heel Ambrose?

The guy was born to be a heel and they lack a top heel so fucking hard right now. They even have the fucking setup with Reigns.

The only sensical answer is that they're afraid people will just keep cheering him but his character makes no sense as it is now.

>>875620
Because: who will they cheer over Ambrose?

Exactly.

>>875622
Ambrose its pretty over tbqh

If so do you really expect Brock to lose at rumble?

>>878089
There has been a few good ppvs and the year of Bryan is a recent great, if you want to enjoy wrestling again, watch Daniel Bryan road to Wrestlemania 30.

>>878166
yea im sure them using the yes chant for roman was really for bryan lol f

>>878329
Yes because Brock needs to do a program with someone else and you can't lock up your champion and your top draw for just one match while the rest of the card goes to shit. Brock doesn't even need the belt and he'll be a shittier transitional champion than Sheamus, at least Sheamus shows up every Raw and Smackdown.

Reigns doesn't even have to toss Brock out of the Rumble, it could be his actual opponent for Wrestlemania and while I see Roman showing up at #1 or #2 he'll be ducking out half of the match after he removes the initial wave of jobbers.

Besides, do you really want Brock to lose clean at Wrestlemania?

>>878334

>>878345

>bryan fanboys in a nutshell
yet if it was for bryan you would be calling them great fans hilarious.

>>878340

To be honest I want Lesnar to get fucked over by whoever his match at mania is going to be. I'd wish for Orton but he's injured.

I don't want Reigns to win either. To have this first ever title defense in a rumble to happen and have your champion retain would just be fucking lame as shit but I feel it will happen.

I don't even know who I'd have win to be honest. Ambrose is unlikely to even be in the rumble. Owens isn't built up well for a WM main event. I don't think Bray vs Reigns is a good enough draw for a mania main event. Cena is injured, Seth is injured, everyone is fucking injured.

The only thing I can even think of being half way decent would be the rock as a surprise entrant winning it. It's not like I watch RAW so I don't give a fuck about an absent champion until mania.

I'd just like to be pleasantly surprised for once. The rumble has been so fucking garbage for the past 3 or 4 years, probably more, I've lost count.

Not holding my breath though.

>>878368
Batista Vs Lesnar would be fucking amazing if he can still put out a good match. Heel Batista on Smackdown was awesome.

>>878368

>>878377

Honestly I have never watched a match of Tama Tonga's but I would love to see him in Lucha Underground just for how intimidating he looks.

It literally can't be worse than the last two.

Bryan's run at the top and when the Shield were about I guess. That period also had Brock's GOAT matches.

>AJ is old
He's 38. Jesus. He's a child compared to some.

>two generals for the same thing

Why?

>>884185
Why, he's not even old enough to have an unwarranted cushy spot at WrestleMania that allows him to kill off the heat of a promising rising star!

>>884196
Exactly. But seriously. He's younger than Peyton Manning. 38 is not exactly ancient.
