Wrestling Discussion Thread III

Are we doing another Rumble sweepstakes again? I'd be keen if you lot are - no prizes, natch, but it's always a laugh.

Get on it Jay

I'll draw numbers on Sunday afternoon if folks are keen, then! Just post that you're in for it and I'll add you to the pot.

I am declaring for the Royal Rumble (sweepstakes).

Yeh I'm in as well even though I probably won't be watching the event.

Count me in

Will Balla know to pop his head in to draw Goldberg and win?

I miss watching Wrestling . . . I might actually check out the rumble. And then make my third attempt to properly get into NJPW.

You've also got the other promotions which might be easier for you to watch being in Japan as I hear Kento Miyahara always has a good match in All Japan or some Joshi with likes of Stardom that has had some good matches like last year a time limit draw between Syuri & Giulia.

Enter me in your sweepstakes too, and go watch AJPW's Toshiaki Kawada Vs Mitsuharu Misawa match from 3rd June 1994

Puro connoisseur Cappuccino Kid is in the Rumble, as is Smurf, Mas, Dusty, Buska, Jas and myself.

That's 4 numbers each at least and bugger it, I'll give the Grackler the final two.

Here are your numbers as according to a random number generator I used:

Jay - 3, 4, 12, 23

Mas - 5, 9, 16, 22

Smurf - 10, 13, 20, 26

Jas - 18, 19, 28, 30

Dusty - 1, 6, 7, 24

Buska - 15, 21, 25, 29,

Cappa - 2, 14, 17, 27,

The Grackler - 8, 11

Watch as I end up with Dolph Ziggler, Baron Corbin, Shelton Benjamin and Tucker.

I think this could be Tucker's year.

Imagine my face when I saw these numbers... now imagine it now.

It's mad that the winners of both of yesterdays rumbles are from spots that have only won it two maybe three times?

Two (Shawn Michaels 1995, Chris Benoit 2004) winners from number 1, one (Ric Flair 1992) from number 3.

Aye, the Rumble was a quality show all around, wasn't it? It's been ages since I've watched a PPV live and even longer since I've watched one without feeling knackered towards the end of the show, but I was into every match on the card and both Rumbles were top notch as well. Top stuff.

I'm very excited to see where this NJPW/AEW crossover is heading. Seeing Okada on AEW will be amazing, if it ever happens.

Meltzer seems to think Okada is coming and got Impact mixed in like FinJuice will be on impact soon.

Crying with laughter at Mick Foley's earlier Tweet where we wished The Big Show the best of luck with All Elite Wrestling, only for his autocorrect to change from the @AEW username to that of an SNP MP from Cowdenbeath.
