Already announced 19 with assuming more to be added tonight. Stop with em and leave us with some surprises :snoop:

At least have someone like Ziggler beaten up backstage and not "cleared" to compete in the Rumble match, with the surprise being Joe knocked him out to put himself in it or some shyt.

So far 22 confirmed in the Rumble. Which means 8 open slots. :lupe:

So far they have 8 unknown spots. That should be enough.

Not really. I'm out after the Superbowl. This site is trolls and weirdos.

That's what they have the ignore function for. This section has always been pretty normal compared to the other sections. But it doesn't hurt to take breaks from here I guess. :yeshrug:

I'm not gonna make a separate thread about this so Ima put it here

Re: part timers

I feel like everybody is looking at this problem backwards. The real problem is there is too much WWE Wrestling programming, too many PPV's, and too many WWE Wrestlers. WWE has signed alot of people just to fucc with other promotions and hobble their progress. WWE has all this programming because they are extremely dependent on TV money and network subs to lie to stockholders. The "bigness" of the part timers, to me, just illustrates the continued validity of the "less is more" adage. They don't need to put Noam Dar and TJ Perkins on the front of the Rumble poster. Noam Dar and TJ Perkins need to not even be signed and they need to have a shorter show that requires less talent to be signed. They need to have less wrestlers and less shows, and someone else besides them needs to get investors go national (which WWE actively tries to stop by signing all these people that they end up wasting) so there's somewhere for the excess wrestlers to go

I'd really like to see the Miz or Bray win it. I just kinda want them to finally pull the trigger on Bray and get it over with...lol. And the Miz been on fire for a while. And he shat on Cena and AJ last week.

I have a good feeling that Miz will win it. He hasn't been doing that much since he lost the IC Title and he's been doing the best work of his career.

the only thing that makes me think a smackdown person won't win is that Elimination Chamber is right after this so they'll just start their set ups there. And Raw has all these people like Taker, Brock, Oldberg, Finn, Seff, even down to fukkin Strong Broham...where they'll need to coast for a few weeks on the winner just cutting promos and run ins.

How many surprise people yall want? 5-6 is enough. 2 joke ones (Snuka and Piper in 08), 2 returns but not a big deal (RVD, Shelton maybe), and 1-2 surprises (Nakamura and S'mo Joe). There have been plenty of good Rumbles with 0-1 slots left, i.e. they gave you the list of 29-30 entrants beforehand

Pout if you dont get a wacky rumble with 15 surprises, brehs. Undertaker winning this shyt anyway
