[The Q]

Come on Mandy Rose...

 

[The Q]

PS This is still more legitimate than yesterday's BS football games. I'm getting excited about this shit again.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Come on Mandy Rose...

I'm still not sold on Rose I guess to each their own.I'm hoping Asuka wins the Rumble

 

[The Q]

I will shameless admit I root for her cause she's hot.

She's got some Trish Stratus to her.

I fully expect Asuka to win the RR. They've been hyping and pushing her for months now.

Theres so many rumors right now its hard to call imo.Hell theres Rousey rumors floating around.Could be changes before and during the rumble.I will admit I am a big fan fan of Asuka/Kana.Shes had some great matches over the years.The tag match with Kenny Omega,Her match vs Tajari,vs Suzuki,Not sure Ive seen another oman on the roster in a barbed wire match.Asuka/Cross,Bayley,Moon,Cros and the Iconic duo.Her in ring skill is impressive


Did you catch the spot where Bayley was yelling directions to Rose recently. on RAW?Think they both caught a little heat over that.

Damn it.

No I missed that.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Damn it.

No I missed that.

Bayley was a little too loud yelling for Mandy to "cover Me!" You could hear it on TV not good for either.Think the clips on youtube

If you ever want to see some great matches efore the WWe she had some great matches Buzz saws
tajiri

Barbed wire match was good


Kana/Asuka Omega was a great match

The Asuka Cross last woman standing match at NXT.Was probably one of the best woman matches I've seen in quite a while

Predict who is going to set the record for women's inaugural 30 women Royal Rumble match? Next year (or next time they do it), we can add cumulative

1. Longest time in a single women's Royal Rumble match? - (Rey Mysterio holds the men's)
2. Shortest time spent in a single Women's Royal Rumble match? - (Santino Marella holds the men's)
3. Most eliminations in a single Women's Royal Rumble match? - (Roman Reigns holds the men's)
4. Who is going to be the winner of the 1st Women's Royal Rumble match - ("Hacksaw" Jim Duggan was the men's)

My guesses

1. Asuka (35-40 minutes) - They are pushing her and fans will want to see her.
2. Lana? (seconds to < minute) - This could be anybody, but I think Lana would have great reaction to it.
3. Nia Jax (8-10) - A muscle seems to always have most eliminations but rarely wins.
4. Asuka - I think Raw will win as Carmella will cash in MITB between now and WM. I would have guessed Paige if she was still in it. Asuka will make a great WM match with whoever. I would be shocked if they waste the inaugural RR on the MITB briefcase holder.

 

[The Q]

How on earth did anyone beat MO from men on a mission for fastest exit?

 

[iowajerms]

What are the chances of John Cena getting it in the year he retires and becoming #1 in most "World Heavyweight Championships"?

Strowman/Lesnar storyline might be worn out by WM.

 

[Judge Fudge]

How on earth did anyone beat MO from men on a mission for fastest exit?

Oh Santino

 

[iowajerms]

How on earth did anyone beat MO from men on a mission for fastest exit?

Mo is actually 3rd, and tied.

Santino (2009) was 1 second
The Warlord (1989) was 2 seconds
Mo (1995) and Owen Hart (1995) are 3 seconds
Bushwhacker Luke (1991), Jerry Lawler (1997), Titus O'Neil (2015) are 4 seconds

Listing this as a spoiler so it doesn't hint at who's mentioned in the other post

Spoiler

After getting booed out of the building last time it'll be great seeing the crowd give him the positive reaction he deserves this time.

Watching Takeover Philly

That was a great opening vid.

Why not have either Paul E. or Graves do color to cover for McGunniess?

Why you trying to ruin Corey Graves' voice like that?

 

[Judge Fudge]

Why you trying to ruin Corey Graves' voice like that?

I'm just saying. Have a backup plan. If one guy is down. Make sure you have another that can do it.

Joe?

Owens has done some good commetatory before.

Heyman?

Lawler?

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Looks like Fox is out of the woman rumble due to injury.
