WWE RAW 1/23/2012 - So Johnny Ace, a Funkasaurus and Y2J Walk Into a Bar...

[The Idiot]

I'm gonna start posting on here with you guys more often. Good stuff.

 

[Peoples_Champ]

World will end as we know it? How does this connect with a proposed Jericho-Punk angle?

Not sure how he's going to connect it, but I'm guessing post-match beatdown by Jericho to Punk.

 

[Remix]

ALL ABOUT THE NUMBERS! FUCKING YES! MARKING OUT RIGHT NOW!

 

[Peoples_Champ]

Kane breaks the record this year.

 

[Tymedragon]

430 Big Shows.

 

[Tyrath]

Kane breaks the record this year.

Hopeful he will actually be in it with his match with Cena being on the card.

 

[Harthan]

And there's that awkward pseudo-reference to Benoit that they're forced to include every year.

 

[Ellye]

If he's in, he really could break his record.

 

[Rudolf]

Did it say 13 consecutive Rumbles for Kane? Damn, he's been around for so long.

Hey, look, Mick!

 

[Peoples_Champ]

"For the first time in history, every WWE superstar is eligible to enter the RR"

So we're going to see some wrestlers doing double duty on Sunday?

 

[The Brain]

That percentage of Rumble winners winning the title at mania has been dropping for the past four years. The rumble win isn't as valuable as it once was I guess.

Probably because they don't have enough over guys to be in seperate matches and enough left over to participate in the Rumble and pop the crowd.

Supplanted in some ways by MITB. If you look at some of the winners in the years before MITB started up, they probably would have been MITB winners instead. I'm thinking Rey, Benoit, so on.

 

[Ellye]

Poor Cena and Eve.

Also, Ryder is so cheesy. But that's the point, I gather.

 

[Tyrath]

You're right. I just realized the last 3 winners did not win at Wrestlemania.

 

[Starchild]

I can honestly say I do not know who's going to win this year.

My money is on Jericho but I could just as easily see Barrett, Cena, Sheamus, or Orton winning. And there's even the possibility Punk loses the title only to win the Rumble...or since "everyone is eligible" he enters as champ and wins. My mind, it is boggled

 

[TJ Matics]

Ok, KANE has the best entrance is the WWE, Sorry Y2J

 

[The Brain]

You're right. I just realized the last 3 winners did not win at Wrestlemania.

Last four

 

[Peoples_Champ]

I would love to be a kid watching this era of WWE. Cena, Ryder, scary Kane - lots of entertainment.

 

[Ellye]

Zack sells his pain well.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

You're right. I just realized the last 3 winners did not win at Wrestlemania.

Last four winners if you consider Cena used his title shot at No Way Out.

 

[Peoples_Champ]

To be fair to Del Rio, he would have won the title at WM last year if Edge hadn't retired.

Lulz. Eve is out there.

 

[The Brain]

Good point. I remember when they started doing that video a few years ago and they always stressed that winning percentage at the end. It was in the 70s. Now its 55% and it isn't stressed quite as much.

 

[Ellye]

I believe Cena will end up interfering in the match, to "save" Ryder.
Ryder will be pissed and ungrateful.

This might really make Cena "embrace the hate".

 

[Tyrath]

Last four

Crap, my bad. I saw Cena was the winner and just assumed he'd won but I guess his wrestlemania record isn't as good as I assumed.
