The OAO WWE Royal Rumble 2005 Thread

[Guest Phenom]

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.

Someone who could be #30:

 

New Jack?

[Guest The Shadow Behind You]

This is the most anxious I've been for a PPV since WMX7. And it's the first PPV i've ordered since WMX7.

#30 will be Kurt Angle

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?

The 'mystery' entrant hopefully won't be #30 ... that's too predictable.

[Guest Phenom]

OMG DREW CAREY!

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.

SNH is on! NOW!

At the 1992 Rumble, Gorilla Monsoon made mention of the fact that no one who drew in the top 5 ever won the event.

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.

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.

[Guest Phenom]

Why did Rhyno shave his beard?

Longest chinlock ever.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

...Sunday Night Heat just froze on me.

[GreatWhiteNope 0]

For the benefit of those with low attention spans - this is a chinlock.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

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...

Amazing how long this Maven match has lasted, compared to previous Maven matches recently.
