The Rumble is upon us. I thoroughly enjoy watching the rumble matches themselves. Usually, except for 2001, a lot of the other matches on the card have been alright, or sucked. 2001 was phenomenal. The IC Title Ladder match with Jericho/Benoit is a classic and one of my favorites. Anyway, here we go.
New Age Outlaws vs the Ascension
Personally, I think they destroyed whatever credibility the Ascension had, on day one. They kicked ass in NXT but the new age Road Warrior gimmick was a bit much. I like their in ring skills, but stop giving them a mic. The Outlaws need to stay retired, even though I did get pumped when the nWo, APA and NAO were all in the ring. When you retire, sometimes it's best to stay that way.
Prediction: New Age Outlaws because WWE likes to bury potential
A New Day vs Cesaro/Kidd/Rose
I couldn't give a flying shit about this.
Prediction: Bathroom break or booze run.
Paige/Natalya vs the Bella Twins
All four of these women have a place in my bed. Paige is just so fucking hot. I enjoy Natalya's legs and ass, and implant bella is my favorite just because she's so much hotter than no boobs brie. I will probably just watch to see Nikki, Paige, and Natalya bend over a lot.
Prediction: Paige and Natalya
WWE Tag Team Championship
The Uso's vs Miz/Mizdow
I absolutely love what Sandow has done. Miz can go away. Uso's can go away, although their card with Rowan/Harper was perfection. Harper and Rowan should have won the Titles during that. But alas, WWE loves stupid shit. Anyway, Sandow. He took this stupid ass shitty gimmick and turned it into absolutely gold and silver and diamonds and anything else worth a fortune. I will be watching this one just to see what shenanigans he will be doing this time.
Prediction: The Uso's to retain, Miz turns on Mizdow and Sandow gets sent back to the pink trunks and back into the bury pit. Hopefully he can get sent to the IC Title picture.... but that would be logical.
WWE Championship
Brock Lesnar vs John Cena vs Seth Rollins
Stone Cold put it best. People need to start pushing the limits and the envelope and actually go outside the box. The brass ring is real, more people need it. Until then we are stuck with John Cena at the helm and there is nothing we can do about it. Brock needs to go away. The WWE's plan backfired. If he appeared on one raw a month, and defended at every pay per view, I could see it working out. But he doesn't. Wrestlemania cannot come soon enough, because then Brock is gone. The top prize in the company is no where in sight for people to want to fight for it. John Cena is constantly shoved in our faces and I can't stand it. Basic Thuganomics was much better than Hustle Loyalty and Respect. I get it, PG era, give the kids something to watch. But the kids can't get the WWE Network without mommy and daddy paying for it. I know my kids can't stay up til 10 or 11 on a monday night (depends on timezone) to watch raw. It's useless. He needs to just slowly fade away. Or turn heel. Please turn heel. Give us what we want!!!!! And Seth Rollins. He's holding on to that brief case like Ziggler did. However, I believe he will cash in at wrestle mania or right before MitB and win the title, just to ruin the title reign of the rumble winner. I understand that's the point. But after Brock, we need a long reigning Champ.
Prediction: Brock Lesnar
30 man Royal Rumble match
Ok, every year, plenty of cameo's are made. One of my favorites was from 2012 I believe, when Road Dogg and Kevin Nash came out. It was awesome. This year, I think the cameo's will include, and are not limited to: The Rock, The Dudley Boyz (no more TNA contract), Kurt Angle (I'm just hopeful even though I know it's impossible), RVD (Because they're in Philly........ECW.......), Undertaker (I know he won't, but that would be funny to me. He's so old now), Triple H (Only to be eliminated by Sting), Sting (See Triple H)....And maybe a few others, I don't know. But I enjoyed the 2001 Rumble because they used the weapons too.
I WANT Dolph, Dean, or Bray to win the rumble. I know they all can't win it. So my prediction is......
Prediction: Roman Reigns or Daniel Bryan. They've pushed Roman to win this thing in all the reports, leaks, etc. Daniel Bryan comes back and throws a wrench in the plans. What better comeback story than that? If Roman wins, the universe gets as pissed as they did when Bryan wasn't in the rumble last year. He will get boo'd out of the building. But, it's going to be between those two. I'd probably put money on Reigns just because. And come Wrestlemania, Reigns will win, only for Rollins to cash in that night and ruin his former team mates dreams. Thus creating the feud. Dean finds his way in and at some point we get an all Shield 3 way dance.
I'm kind of excited for it. I'll watch it. But the company has lost it's touch. We all know that. But I've watched since I was 5. I'm going to stay true til I can't stand it.
