I'm going to go shovel snow in order to prepare for the possibility of the legendary shovel later

I'd laugh so hard if Triple H is out here getting a title reign in 2016, after having wrestled about 3 times in the last two years. Wouldn't even be upset, would just laugh.

 

[Pugz]

roman will eliminate triple h too!

 

[CameronCrazy06]

HHH is the odds on favorite in betting markets right now. Smart money late could push that to someone else but he's 1 of 3 guys who could win probably

 

[Teagz]

Why the hell is this on at the same time as the football games tonight? Don't they usually wait and have the Rumble during the bye week?

BB is getting antsy, so I'll go ahead and post this now:

1's and 6's: elcheato
2's and 7's: CameronCrazy06
3's and 8's: Teagz
4's and 9's: Big Bid'ness
5's and 0's: Papa Pugz

Winner is the person who correctly picks what slot the Royal Rumble winner comes from. Post which one you want. I'll just take the last one remaining.

BUMP

 

[Pugz]

how many casino chips does the winner get

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I might throw stacks on Hunter tonight but I'm nervous

 

[elcheato]

Lesnar is scheduled to appear just about every week leading up to Wrestlemania starting now, except for tomorrow night and a couple weeks in late feb-early march. Think that means he is not winning. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

So your logic is that if he was winning, he'd be appearing tomorrow? Not criticizing the logic, just curious. I'm trying to throw a bet together.

 

[elcheato]

Yes, that is my logic. I can't imagine they'd have him win the belt and then not appear tomorrow. Now maybe they just aren't advertising him to create suspense, but with their recent attendance numbers and ratings, I think they would advertise him if he was actually showing up. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Have they announced who's #2 yet? Usually the pair that starts is a pair that has history (the subtle shoutout to Awesome Truth last year was amazing), but with the whole Roman storyline, things might be different this year

I could see them throwing Big Show out there

 

[elcheato]

probably someone strong who just beats him down for a while. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I'd love a swerve tonight where HHH and Reigns are the last two, and Reigns joins the Authority to keep his title, but no way

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Only 13 people have been announced for the Rumble + 2 kickoff show spots and that tag match

 

[elcheato]

I'd love a swerve tonight where HHH and Reigns are the last two, and Reigns joins the Authority to keep his title, but no way

I'd love a swerve where neither of those to win, because they don't need to feud for a title for it to be high profile.. 
 
Seriously, give Bray Wyatt the belt and have him feud with Lesnar, and have him BEAT Lesnar at Mania. Now you've established a new main event player for years.
