Guest Phenom Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 The Royal Rumble. It begins with two men battling it out in the ring. Every 90 seconds, the melee is joined by another. Then another, and another until it’s grown into a 30-man battle. At the end, the last man standing is awarded a main event at WrestleMania and a shot at either the WWE Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship. Pretty good for a match that was once for bragging rights only. In its nearly 20-year history, the Royal Rumble has been one of the cornerstone events in WWE and has been responsible for some of the greatest moments in the history of the sport. Who can forget Ric Flair’s astounding win at the 1992 Rumble? Or the controversy that ensued when Bret Hart and Lex Luger landed on the mat at the same time? Or last year’s incredible victory by Chris Benoit, who entered the Rumble at No. 1 and lasted all the way to the end? Each year, the Royal Rumble promises — and delivers — unpredictability. This is, undoubtedly, the best PPV since July. I'm serious.
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 This is the most anxious I've been for a PPV since WMX7. And it's the first PPV i've ordered since WMX7.
DangerousDamon Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 Anyboyd ever notice that in every Royal Rumble, they hype up the fact the person who drew number 1 has NO chance of winning, but they never say anything about the number 2 guy even though he starts at the same time as the number one guy?
Sonic Reducer Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 The 'mystery' entrant hopefully won't be #30 ... that's too predictable.
Exslade ZX Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 Anyboyd ever notice that in every Royal Rumble, they hype up the fact the person who drew number 1 has NO chance of winning, but they never say anything about the number 2 guy even though he starts at the same time as the number one guy? Lol, yes, I've always thought that was funny as hell. Oooo wow, he walked out to the ring first. That's a whole minute of air he's lost. Yea, sure.
Guest AndrewisyourHero Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 At the 1992 Rumble, Gorilla Monsoon made mention of the fact that no one who drew in the top 5 ever won the event.
Guest Phenom Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 At the 1992 Rumble, Gorilla Monsoon made mention of the fact that no one who drew in the top 5 ever won the event. Well that sure changed, didn't it?
Guest Phenom Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 Any show called 'Boom' must be good. It MUST. It's a rule.

Guest Rrrsh Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 I really love that Video package with Trips and Randy.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 Maven vs Rhyno! What a SNH match.
cawthon777 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 Who can forget Ric Flair’s astounding win at the 1992 Rumble? Who can remember that Flair's record was broken the following year by Bob Backlund and that record was broken last year by Benoit? Not the WWE.
iliketurtles Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 This is, undoubtedly, the best PPV since July. I'm serious. What was so good in July?
Guest Phenom Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 This is, undoubtedly, the best PPV since July. I'm serious. What was so good in July? Vengence. It was pretty good.

CBright7831 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 I've always wondered, why do some Rumble participants run down to the ring? I would walk slowely. Take my time. Walk around the ring. Study everyone. And then get in.
ChrisMWaters Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 ...Sunday Night Heat just froze on me.
GreatWhiteNope Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 For the benefit of those with low attention spans - this is a chinlock.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 I ordered RR. First PPV I've ordered in a long time too, but I saved up a bit of money from Christmas to pay for it so...
tpww7 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 Remember AIM Chat TSMRoyalRumbleChat Come in damnit!
ChrisMWaters Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 Amazing how long this Maven match has lasted, compared to previous Maven matches recently.
