Royal Rumble 2013 Live Discussion - Jan. 27, 2013

the title looks like a toy. The title needs to go back to full size

 

[The Butcher]

Gotta give it to the Rumble. I don't even get this geekily excited for much other than this and WrestleMania.

 

[Slowdude]

Is the pre-show live stream working for anyone?
I mean i checked some other live streams and no problem, the youtube preshow livestream is just frozen.

 

[CDR]

If I was in charge of this, I'd have Cena interfere during the Punk-Rock match to help Rock win. Because, after all, it's supposed to be Rock vs. Cena at Mania. And then after that, I'd have Cena come out #30 but get jumped by Punk who ends up winning the Rumble, thus effectively setting up a triple threat match for the title at Mania.

 

[Ace Sleeper]

Even if Cena wins, the Royal Rumble is the best PPV of the year. Only 20 more minutes

it froze up for me too both on wwe.com and youtube. working now though.

 

[The Crock]

Just a reminder: Don't post links to streams, don't even ask for them -- it's against the rules.

On a different note, is the pre-show worth watching?

 

[hatehabsforever]

The pre-show is NOW! Still picking Randy Orton with the surprise win. Predictions for surprise entrants: Shelton Benjamin, Bill Gunn and...Bret Hart.

Ok, maybe not Bret Hart. But don't count out all the legends in Phoenix for the Fan Fest panels this weekend.

You forgot John Morrison.

Ditto. I'm probably more excited for this than WM 28.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Just got on youtube. Did I miss Cesaro vs Miz?

I believe they are making their entrance. I saw Cesaro for a couple of seconds frozen on my screen, now miz is frozen on my screen.

WWE your preshow live stream sucks.

 

[Ace Sleeper]

New Age Outlaws, Mark Henry OR Christian (don't think it'll be both), Jim Duggan and MAYBE Brock Lesnar.

Don't think most of the surprise entrants the dirt sheets are throwing out there are going to appear.

John Cena seems like the obvious winner in my opinion, but my surprise for shits and giggles pick is Brock Lesnar.

 

[kcoe24]

sorry Striker my friends don't tout.

 

[Ace Sleeper]

Also wouldn't be surprised to see Jericho show up since Ziggler is probably gonna be #1.

 

[kcoe24]

i like this nxt commentator (forgot his name) he needs to stop saying for the win all the time though.

Yes, considering Cesaro vs. Miz is the Pre-Show match. Although the commentary team sucks. Striker and I think Tony Dawson or something.

Wish they had Scott Stanford doing PBP. This Dawson guy doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

Claudio's character on the indies was never built around his strength, more his technical prowess and striking ability, but fuck me now I wonder why.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

Stop getting behind The Miz!

Also, I like Tony Dawson, he did a better job selling that neckbreaker than Michael Cole has selling... well... just about anything in the last two years.

yeah he actually seems to get excited during matches unlike Cole.

 

[The Butcher]

Well that was the easiest pick of the night next to Punk/Rock.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

Cesaro getting cheers after the win was cool.

Dawson saying "What a maneuver" gave me flashbacks of Vince's commentary days.

 

[The Butcher]

Tony Dawson looks like the guy who played Moe in the new Three Stooges movie.

 

[.]

Anyone else hear the "You ok?" after Miz fucked up his knee?

 

[#tamale]

Cesaro being awesome as usual. Miz did get that nice babyface comeback but he could not overcome the power of Cesaro. That backbreaker was sick.

Dawson did a good job commentating. Striker is really mediocre.

 

[Ace Sleeper]

Here we go!
