Define irony: The New Age Outlaws won their first tag team titles in 1998, coming in as the hot new team, pointing out how old and busted the Road Warriors were throughout the entire feud. Fast-forward 16 years later and the Outlaws are now the old and busted team, yet somehow still in the tag title picture.
MAKE WAY! MAKE WAY! Your 2014 BoD Rumble winner has arrived. I will be accepting congratulatory posts below. To quote a fellow Rumble winner, YOU ALL PAY HOMAGE TO THE MAN!
Flair 92, no question. And I completely agree with you, he managed to be both a coward and asskicker at the same time. Him going at Barbarian with punches and chops, you had to respect that.
Between Rumble 92 and Wrestlemania 8, Heenan and Monsoon hit some ridiculous heights as straight man/comic guy. I think someone said you could just listen to the audio track of their commentary and still see everything in your mind.
I'm expecting Bryan to dump Hogan, Warrior, all members of DX, Punk, Sting and Undertaker tonight as Triple H's plan to make Bryan not over anymore goes into effect.
Thank you to all those hot young teams busting their asses, just so some retired pals of HHH can come in and win the belts.. I have a bad feeling about this night...
OK so if you show up to a royal rumble party with a Phil's BBQ party platter and a 30 pack of pbr you are a class act. I apparently choose my friends wisely
Pre-show has begun. We're minutes away from kicking off with the Old Age Outlaws.
ReplyDeleteI think a little piece of me dies when I see that a TAX SERVICE company has sponsored tonight's show.
ReplyDeleteThe set is identical to RAW.
ReplyDeleteHoly hell, Duggan, HBK, and Flair on the PPV panel? That's an eclectic mix.
ReplyDeleteI really hate their set designs for the last few years. They all look the same.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I miss how every event had their own feel.
ReplyDeleteHBK shaved...a little. Very classy.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking Duggan and Flair are going to have a "HOOOO!" and "WOOOO!" battle.
ReplyDeleteRoyal Rumble "I'm gonna win" promos or GTFO
ReplyDeleteWho put Skinner on the panel?
ReplyDeleteDuggan in a suit just looks bizarre.
ReplyDeleteWas that Michaels' subtle way of shitting all over this entire idea of "analysis"?
ReplyDeleteWWE did a sim of the Rumble match on 2k14 and Batista won. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk4znPqIIIo
ReplyDeleteThe thing is that these panels don't make much sense when the WWE sells this as entertainment and not as a legitimate activity.
ReplyDeleteRenee Young seems like the coolest woman in the world.
ReplyDeleteDamn quite the panel
ReplyDeleteEasy way to save $$$...
ReplyDeleteI'll join you Renee....
ReplyDeleteThat woman betting her money on Reigns is gonna lose it....
ReplyDeleteCant they be both....
ReplyDelete"a sim"
ReplyDeleteRenee Young is too good, I expect her to be pedigreed within the week.
ReplyDeleteRoad Dogg's second generation too, Hacksaw.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but they pound in threw various means that this stuff isn't real and then try to say that it is at the same time. Drives me nuts.
ReplyDeleteBig Ben is in attendance, I have a feeling Renee is locked in some bathroom at the moment....
ReplyDeleteOr be called a horse face or something. I'm sure they'll have Michael Cole bully her soon enough.
ReplyDeleteSomething something Renee Young something something interracial sex
ReplyDeleteInterns probably sat there for 10 hours until finally Batista won it.
ReplyDeleteMr. Cena is making a run-in tonight isn't he?
ReplyDeleteThat's a great setup for a no-holds-barred garbage brawl. Unfortunately, Cena/Orton has been billed all along as a straight wrestling match.
ReplyDeleteJBL seemed more over than Lawler, thats odd....
ReplyDeleteHere's a idea for Orton,after losing the title,how about continue this crazy batshit style of gimmick.
ReplyDeleteIf Vince Russo was booking this, Mr. Cena would turn on John and join Orton.
ReplyDeleteHow about he takes a vacation to Parts Unknown...
ReplyDeleteShit, Kane's not manning the tumbler.
ReplyDeleteId be down with that....
ReplyDeleteforever,well that's a nice idea.
ReplyDeleteId be fine if he did a HHH like job to Warrior at WM...
ReplyDeleteLook''s like all hope is gone.
ReplyDeleteSandow deserves to move up the card....
ReplyDeleteOr actually be on it.
ReplyDeleteDrop the interracial, and there's my line.
ReplyDeleteOBNOXIOUS FAKE LAUGHTER!
ReplyDeleteSo has it been stated whether or not Brock and Bryan are in the Rumble? Because the match becomes 16x more interesting with those two in the match.
ReplyDeleteWell, he'll be #2, seems like.
ReplyDeleteThere was a dreaded Daniel Bryan glitch they had to keep dealing with....
ReplyDeleteWhat's your favorite rumble perfomance
ReplyDeleteRic Flair takes the prize for me,the booking was perfect,Flair was badass and at the same time a coward for stealing and begging for mercy.
Bryan/Wyatt opens the show.
ReplyDeleteBryan's gotta be a surprise entrant.
ReplyDeleteI just re-watched '92 yesterday. It really is perfect.
ReplyDeleteWhich would be a nice way to showcase him, my guess is he gets dumped within a minute of Rumble starting...
ReplyDeleteYes! chants, which obviously means Vince is gonna call an audible and give Big Show a Royal Rumble win
ReplyDeleteAge has not been fair to Flair.
ReplyDeleteRko,Warrior gets 5 moves goodbye.On the next raw,Randy announces his retirement.It's sad cuz i loved his Legend killer stuff.
ReplyDeleteDefine irony: The New Age Outlaws won their first tag team titles in 1998, coming in as the hot new team, pointing out how old and busted the Road Warriors were throughout the entire feud.

ReplyDeleteNeither have his 30 ex wives....
ReplyDeleteKane in 01.
ReplyDeleteAnd even had comedy as floped around the ring and begged for mercy,it felt so authentic.
ReplyDeleteHey if they can help get the Rhodes over even more, it works....
ReplyDeleteAnd sadly winning more matches than the LOD!
ReplyDeleteHow come they don't just put the pre show on tv when you order the show?
ReplyDeleteI don't care how old NAO are, "Oh you didn't know?" is still fun as hell to yell.
ReplyDeleteSomeone tell the Outlaws they're heels. Oh well, they're just emulating their buddy Hunter.
ReplyDeletePretty sure that Rumble featured the best roster in the history of the Rumble too....
ReplyDeleteI'm still baffled that Road Dogg is younger than the Rumble favorite, Batista.
ReplyDeleteI know this guys are "too old" but at least they can work a crowd.
ReplyDeleteNew Age Outlaws: Graduates of the Hunter/Steph School of "We're Heels, Except When We're Not"
ReplyDeleteHeenan's commentary was a huge part of it too.
ReplyDeleteThey did this shtick when they were heels too, but they insulted the crowd. Not doing that here, though, so yeah, makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteYour PG Rating better call somebody!!!
ReplyDelete45 year old men telling the crowd to "suck it".
ReplyDeleteI knew Batista is old, but he's that old?!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are no longer "Heels" and "Faces".....
ReplyDeleteThe crowd does realize that NAO are the heels here right?
ReplyDeleteYep. 45. Road Dogg is 44.
ReplyDeletehttp://coedmagazine.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/pamela-anderson-gifs-12.gif
ReplyDeleteI haven't been this excited for a show that's probably going to piss me off since the last time I got excited for a show that pissed me off.
ReplyDeletePlenty of bullshit still, though.
ReplyDeletePat Patterson still booking shit....
ReplyDeleteTIL.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we know what Hunter and Steph told Vince so they could pull their shit.
ReplyDeleteand Goldust is 44.
ReplyDeleteOr his creditors.
ReplyDeleteDo you really want to tell Goldust to suck it?
ReplyDeleteThat giant Royal Rumble sign is almost a throwback to the hanging banners they used to use.
ReplyDeleteTake your top off, Billy. (no homo, not that there's anything wrong with that)
ReplyDeleteShawn's 2010, Kane's 2001, Benoit's 2004 and Punk's 2011.
ReplyDeleteThen we'd have to call him Mr. Man-tits.
ReplyDeleteI miss the hanging Raw is War. Reminds me of when I was young and free...full of hopes and dreams.
ReplyDeleteWays you can tell wrestling is fake: This match will magically end in less than 14 minutes.
ReplyDeleteI hope DBry shows up in a lucha outfit with his beard sticking out from under his mask and becomes a surprise contestant.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping Hogan could talk to Orton on the side about how to beat Warrior and we get the return of Horace!
ReplyDeleteCOMMERCIALS??
ReplyDeleteHighspot!
ReplyDelete15 minute time limit?
ReplyDeleteMAKE WAY! MAKE WAY! Your 2014 BoD Rumble winner has arrived. I will be accepting congratulatory posts below. To quote a fellow Rumble winner, YOU ALL PAY HOMAGE TO THE MAN!
ReplyDeleteWRESTLINGS NOT FAKEEEEEEEEEEE!
ReplyDelete/Arquette in Ready To Rumble
Commercials?!
ReplyDeleteYeah, pisses me off.
ReplyDeleteIf Flair was the protagonist,Heenan and Moonson were the supporting actors.
ReplyDeleteOnly in WWE
ReplyDeleteBilly Gunn, Road Dogg and Goldust were all on the Rumble 99 card. Cody Rhodes was 13 at the time.
ReplyDeleteI gotta admit this Cody/Goldust mash-up theme is awesome.
ReplyDeleteFlair 92, no question. And I completely agree with you, he managed to be both a coward and asskicker at the same time. Him going at Barbarian with punches and chops, you had to respect that.
ReplyDeleteIf they replaced Cody with Val Venus, this would be a perfect Heat main event from 1999.
ReplyDeleteWhat ever happened to Ric Flair Mortgages or whatever the hell it was?
ReplyDeleteWell, my specific TV isn't showing the pre show that you guys are all watching, but this pro bowl is quite something.
ReplyDeleteAnd we get a commerical in a PPV pre show on youtube in the middle of a match
ReplyDeleteA commercial break...ON THE PRE-SHOW?!
ReplyDeleteKane 2001, Shawn 2007, Punk 2010-2011
ReplyDeleteThey're telegraphing Batista's presence way too much. Either they're fucking retarded, or they're going to pull a fast one and have someone else win.
ReplyDeleteThey're fucking retarded
ReplyDeletecultstatus
ReplyDeleteGO TEAM RICE!
ReplyDelete(All 5 Saints are on his team. And I despise Deion.)
I know, I'm having to watch on my phone while also checking here.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds us to buy a pay-per-view that happens in less than 10 minutes.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Like I'd REALLY take financial advice from Flair.
ReplyDeleteGuys, we do this every PPV.
ReplyDeleteThey have commercials on the pre-show. It's not that weird.
Either way only Batista or Bryan have a shot at winning.
ReplyDeleteCan't it be all of the above?
ReplyDeleteBoo.
ReplyDeleteDid cole just say "a cook out at 2"?
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the pre-shows......
ReplyDeleteTake your fancy logic somewhere else, Cabs
ReplyDeleteWe may see Val this year!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't make it any less silly.
ReplyDeleteWWE ...NOW, FOREVER....FORGET ABOUT THEN....
ReplyDeleteyour time of the month?
ReplyDeleteI miss Moonson and Heenan.
ReplyDeleteWould people be upset if Punk somehow won the rumble?
ReplyDeleteDamn, Goldust is fucking tearing it up out there for a throwaway pre show match.
ReplyDeleteIf Renee is there then I'm there!
ReplyDeleteDoesnt mean I have to like it....
ReplyDeleteGoldust is awesome. Take note.
ReplyDeleteWhy are there no more time limit draws?? Good way to keep two guys looking strong and a good way to set up another match down the line..
ReplyDeletePlus Deion's team are playing in grey & neon yellow.
ReplyDeleteERICK ROWAN IS GOING TO MAIN EVENT WRESTLEMANIA!
ReplyDelete(BeardMoney gets a chubby)
No. He deserves the win more than Batista, at least.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you're not down with man-tits..
ReplyDeleteIf he dumped Bryan to win it, he could probably be biggest heel in the company again...
ReplyDeleteZanatude should have taken final 4 bets also.
ReplyDeleteReigns, Punk, Batista, Sheamus
Between Rumble 92 and Wrestlemania 8, Heenan and Monsoon hit some ridiculous heights as straight man/comic guy. I think someone said you could just listen to the audio track of their commentary and still see everything in your mind.
ReplyDeleteBryan, Punk, Batista, Sheamus
ReplyDeleteWow!!
ReplyDeleteBatista and The Shield
ReplyDeleteThis is the first ppv I've watched on tv with other people in over a decade. My friend and his "mark" brother are here.
ReplyDeleteCody is pretty good also. Footnote.
ReplyDeleteI'm expecting Bryan to dump Hogan, Warrior, all members of DX, Punk, Sting and Undertaker tonight as Triple H's plan to make Bryan not over anymore goes into effect.
ReplyDeleteGuess there's a few cheap fucks still undecided and need NAO/Rhodes to help em decide...
ReplyDeleteBryan and all three Wyatts
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. What year is this again?
ReplyDelete.............wow.
ReplyDelete... and NEW Tag Team Champions of the Wooooooooooooooooooorld!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to be in the club. The Friends of Hunter club, that is.
ReplyDeleteFUCK THAT.
ReplyDeleteWow, we're off to a great start tonight!
ReplyDeleteI like the Outlaws but that is kinda stupid. Unless they are just jobbing them back tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteNow if TNA did this, the IWC would be SHITTING on them
ReplyDelete3/4 of these guys were big parts of the show in 1998
ReplyDeleteOH FUCK ME
ReplyDeletethe IWC will shit over this too.
ReplyDeleteGreat, more politics...
ReplyDeleteLet the dissension begin.....
ReplyDeleteThe tag division has never been better, yet somehow somebody decided that the best option for the tag titles was a team that peaked 15 years ago.
ReplyDeleteIt's a catastrophe, a calamity, a goddamned nuclear apocalypse. It's the end of the world as we know it.
ReplyDeleteC'mon, the IWC is currently shitting all over this.
ReplyDeleteWhy, it's 1999, sir. Yeah, I don't get why an Acolyte is doing announcing either
ReplyDeleteNepotism at its finest (worst)
ReplyDeleteIt is gonna be weird seeing Goldust enter the rumble as something other than nostalgia spot.
ReplyDeleteThank you to all those hot young teams busting their asses, just so some retired pals of HHH can come in and win the belts.. I have a bad feeling about this night...
ReplyDeleteWell, didn't see that one coming
ReplyDeleteFameasser: Two-count for Dolph
ReplyDeleteFameasser: Three-count for someone significantly older
The WWE makes stupid decisions.
ReplyDeleteNo way they hold those longer then 2 weeks
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Gunn and Dogg won the titles?
ReplyDeleteJust do the opposite and I predict lots of success....
ReplyDeleteCody's awesome. His run with the mask in 2011 is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteIt's clear they are doing this to get the Usos over at WM.
ReplyDeleteHacksaw with a suit seems wrong.
ReplyDeleteDean Ambrose to job the IC title to a Bronco Buster and X-Factor soon?
ReplyDeleteThat's because Dolph does a Rocker Dropper. I keed.
ReplyDeleteIf he had it...
ReplyDeleteWell, it IS named after him. I think he knows how to execute it better.
ReplyDeleteIt's a dumb move, regardless of who's doing it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I fell fine.
ReplyDeleteor Los Matadores
ReplyDeleteThat is getting the job done....
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with that, nice to be given a reason to watch future preshows.
ReplyDeleteI've got Punk as my representative. #1 baby!
ReplyDeletewhoops. shows how much attention I'm paying.
ReplyDeleteIn 2014, Billy Gunn has a WWE title.
ReplyDeleteMeh, they wont hold it long and that was a pretty decent match all things considered.
ReplyDeleteOK so if you show up to a royal rumble party with a Phil's BBQ party platter and a 30 pack of pbr you are a class act. I apparently choose my friends wisely
ReplyDeleteI'm not watching - did he at least cut off the sleeves?
ReplyDeleteHe should have wore a wood grain tie.
ReplyDeleteReddit leaker called tag change. This is going to be a long night.
ReplyDelete"To everyone at home I have to say I can't be objective in this match"
ReplyDelete"When did you ever been objective"
"This isn't fair to Flair,this isn't fair to Flair"
"I never thought I would say this but thank you Roddy,that's a Kilt not a skirt."
Ric is just still pissed that The Giant beat him for the World title in 1996.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool. I mean Ambrose has the U.S. title, but hasn't defended it since the Stone Age.
ReplyDeleteRic Flair wrestled Brock Lesnar? When the Hell did that happen?
ReplyDelete
