It irks me how they keep referring to it as "Royal Rumble" and not "the Royal Rumble".

Has anyone been released by the WWE more times than Jannetty?

What's more impressive is how often he was re hired

Is Roode in the same conversation as HBK?

Cynick brings up a good point. Rhoode is = HBM
Glad we settled that |

Roode doesn't seem to fit in NXT because his gimmick is too big for it. In my opinion. I think he should be in Kevin Owens' position.

Honestly after seeing Owens go up against Braun last night I really wanna see him get a babyface run. I think the dude could really pull it off. Unfortunately I feel like RAW is too busy now to fit Roode in, and even if you somehow found a place for him there you'd still have to find a way to turn Kevin and get Roode into that spot without it coming off as extremely forced. Personally I think the most natural place for Roode on the main roster would be Smackdown.

Right now RAW would be bad for Roode, but right not is not great on SmackDown either. Unless you have Roode destroy Dean Ambrose and then face John Cena for the Intercontinental Title at Mania or something. Not that thrilling and steps on a few toes, since they don't have much planned for Styles at the moment either.

I'd like to see Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe for the Universal Title at WrestleMania now, with Triple H working as Joe's manager. The odds of this happening? HAHAHA no, but I think that's a match for that belt that I'd actually like to see.

I used to think so, until you work out that exceptions being exceptions actually do prove the widespread applicability of rules.

The Undertaker looked like shit at the Royal Rumble. Roman Reigns is a bad visual match for him.

So, just wondering, are we going to see Asuka make her main roster debut before WM 33 or will it probably be @ or after the biggest show of the year? Any consensus opinions or anything? I think she could add yet another much needed boost to the SD! LIVE Women's roster, but am afraid they are probably going to waste time with her and wait until Mania or after for her to debut, possibly dropping the belt to whomever at NXT TakeOver: Orlando.

Turned 40 in 1989
Flair vs Steamboat wrestlewar 89(Voted match off the year) Flair vs Sting Starcade 89 Flair wins the 1992 Rumble Flair vs Savage WM 8 Flair vs Vader Starcade 93 Flair vs Steamboat Spring Stampede 94 So a couple highly respected matches til he was like 45. Past that middle to late 90s WCW wasn't really conducive to Flair having good matchrs.. |

Maluco is sort of right about not relying on older wrestlers as your main source for high profile matches at least in a modern WWE sense.
Historically it used to be the real big pushes and money making moments didn't happen till your late 30s but almost no company had as tough of a touring schedule as the WWE especially in modern times. Way too much wear & tear from it which affects older wrestlers a lot more. WWE's current trend for high profile matches to be a lot more high tempo and hard hitting also does no favor for older guys without needing to go in the part-timer route. Not even Cena is immune to this which is why he's been more of a part-timer in recent years because the wear & tear started to affect him a lot. Doesn't mean older stars can't produce great matches anymore but your going to be very limited on how many they can produce before breaking down (ex. Sting) or need long breaks (ex. Taker) in the WWE. Roode being 40 means his shelf life for top quality matches is going to be small and same goes for Nakamura and other older stars from NXT. |
