ROYAL RUMBLE – 2017

THE ROYAL RUMBLE – 2017

Below is the card, and our picks, for the 2017 Royal Rumble

 

KICKOFF SHOW

SHEAMUS and CESARO v. The BULLET CLUB (GALLOWS and ANDERSON)

We are picking Sheamus and Cesaro, who are, pound for pound, the most boring Tag Team in WWE.

MAIN CARD

NIA JAX v. SASHA BANKS

We’re going with Sasha Banks – not for any particular reason.  We really don’t care who wins.

BLISS/JAMES/NATALYA v. LYNCH/BELLA/NAOMI

We’re picking the heels – Bliss, James, and Natalya.  And would Natalya still be wrestling if she weren’t a Hart?

RICH SWAN v. NEVILLE

Neville.  They should reinvigorate the high-flying acrobat.

CHARLOTTE v. BAYLEY

The crowd loves Bayley, but you can never go wrong betting on Charlotte.  She’s a Flair.

KEVIN OWENS v. ROMAN REIGNS

Roman Reigns is supposed to be a Face, but gets booed; that says enough. Reigns lacks talent, ability, technique, and can barely talk.  Maybe, he can join BIG SHOW in retirement.

STYLES v. CENA

Let’s Go Cena.  He’s overdue for a PPV victory.  This should be the best match of the night.

THE MAIN EVENT – THE ROYAL RUMBLE

Some possible “unannounced” entrants – SHINSUKE NAKAMURA, FINN BAYLOR, SAMOA JOE, SHANE McMAHON, ZACH RYDER.

Our pick to win – RKO (outta nowhere).

2016 ROYAL RUMBLE

PREDICTIONS FOR 2016 ROYAL RUMBLE:
 
Kalisto v. Del Rio (US Championship) –  Del Rio
Becky Lynch v. Charlotte (Divas Championship) – Charlotte
Usos v. New Day (Tag Team Championship) – New Day
Ambrose v. Owens  (Intercontinental Championship) – Ambrose
Royal Rumble – Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Rock
 
Without Daniel Bryan, Cena, Rollins, and RKO, the product is suffering.  They need something radical for the Royal Rumble. They need a wildcard.
 
We cannot sit through another Sheamus v. Roman Reigns Championship match.  

RAW BRAWDCAST – April 6, 2015 (Austin, TX)

RAW BRAWDCAST – April 6, 2015 (Austin, TX)

Michael Cole is still absent from his Lesnar “injury” (translation: he’s on vacation), but JBL returned after unspecified “surgery” (he’s not on vacation). Byron Saxton filled in.   Continue reading RAW BRAWDCAST – April 6, 2015 (Austin, TX)

THE SMACK ON SMACKDOWN – April 2, 2015 (Fresno, CA)

The show began with repeat footage from Monday’s Fallout show – footage which was repeated several times on Monday Night RAW after it happened.  Michael Cole and JBL allegedly had surgery from Lesna’r’s violent rage.  But they’ll be back Monday.  Which one will have a (fake) neck brace?  Mike Phillips filled in for Michael Cole.   Continue reading THE SMACK ON SMACKDOWN – April 2, 2015 (Fresno, CA)

WRESTLEMANIA XXXI – March 29, 2015 (Santa Clara, CA)

In the Battle Royal, Big Show prevailed. The Giant won Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. But we’ll find out on Monday Night Raw what the future is for The Miz and Mizdow. When The Miz ordered his personal assistant, Mizdow, to leave the ring, Mizdow rebelled and eliminated The Miz. Mizdow was the last man eliminated from the Battle Royal. It would have been a miracle if Mizdow won, but JBL said that, “Miracles don’t work with Giants.” We’re not sure what that means. The Creative Team has some drama – perhaps a feud – planned for The Miz and Mizdow. Continue reading WRESTLEMANIA XXXI – March 29, 2015 (Santa Clara, CA)

RAW BRAWDCAST – February 23, 2015 (Nashville, TN)

The night began with RKO returning to the ring with the microphone. The Authority tried to recruit him. Booker T. said, “Randy is a man that walks to the beat of his own drummer.” He meant to say that he marches to the beat of his own drum. Can someone give this guy a script?
