I want to be clear about this toxx because last year it wasn't clear:

I will :toxx: that my "Number Team" will win the rumble, but this is a multi part deal

1) If both people win I will have to do nothing.
2) If one wins then I will write out a promo detailing why Lord of Hats sucks
3) If neither wins, I will write out the promo, then I will record myself actually saying it, upload it to youtube and then share it here.

Why LordofHats? I played Mafia and Awful Big Brother and we both talk about wrestling so I'm assuming he posts here as well, if he doesn't then I can pick someone else.

If Ronda Rousey is a surprise entrant in the Women's Rumble, I will donate $25 to Transform Cincy, a local non-profit that provides free clothing and wardrobe styling for transgender and gender non-conforming youth.

If Ronda Rousey wins the Women's Rumble, I will up the donation to $50. :toxx:

I plan on watching the card this weekend and want to make a donation to an LGBTQIA+ charity based on the match outcome, using a sliding scale as follows:

If winner is between:

-Entry 1-5: $10x entry number (i.e. if winner is #3, $30 donation)
-Entry 6-10: $5x entry number
-Entry 11-15: $3x entry number
-Entry 16-30: $2x entry number

Thoughts on charity are welcome!

:toxx:

Edit: Haven't gotten any responses thus far, so right now the charity of choice is the National Center for Transgender Equality. If any posters have thoughts about potentially better avenues for donation, again, thoughts are welcome.

THE LIAR
So, Bianca Belair came out at number 2 and my first thought was, that's cool. She'll probably last for a decent chunk of time, here. I mostly hoped she would get to look cool, maybe do a cool hair whip spot and that was pretty much all I thought of it. Then as the match went on and the eliminations started rolling on, Belair started getting eliminations and I noticed she was getting to have a lot of shine spots, here. She got to eliminate both of Fire and Desire (although that was more Sonya's fault). It was when she eliminated Team Dewey's pick, the unquestionably incredible, the former DDT Iron Heavy Metal Champion, haver of THE WWE Woman's Match of 2019 (or so I'm told by people who are in the know about this thing), Candace LeRae that I realized, Bianca is putting in a drat good effort, here. When Tamina, who is known for sucking and being big, came out, she kicked some people, went for Bianca Belair, Belair ducked her kick and the two faced each other, I realized Belair was just as big as Tamina, was getting in her face, talking trash, daring her to attack, and something occurred to me.

Bianca Belair is a fuckin' badass.

So Bianca eliminates Tamina, and then all of the riff-raff gets eliminated either by Bianca or Alexa until the ring is eventually back to just 1 and 2. Bianca and Alexa fight out to the outside, Alexa grabs hold of Bianca's braid to keep from being eliminated, and Bianca eventually uses her hair as a reel to smack Alexa into the ringpost and eliminate her. The Rumble's half over, Bianca has come in from #2 to last for close to half an hour, she's picked up 8 eliminations (by the end of the match she'll be sharing this record with someone else). She's doing extremely well on a very big stage.

Then Charlotte Flair's music hits. And while Charlotte makes her entrance, the camera keeps going back to Belair to show her reaction. And this is the moment I realized, Belair is a loving star in the making. Go back and watch this sequence, from Alexa's elimination until Charlotte gets in the ring. Belair's facial reactions are so great. When she eliminates Bliss, she's triumphant. When Charlotte's music hits, first, she's incredulous. She can't believe that her reward for all she's done is to immediately face Charlotte, to the point where she has to laugh about it. It sinks in just how bad of a position she's in, and she slumps over in the corner, desperate, exhausted. Then after a few seconds, she nods a couple times, tells herself, "you can do this.", pulls herself up on the ropes and by the time Charlotte's entering the ring, she's determined. She goes through an entire emotional arc in about thirty seconds with nothing but her facial expressions alone and it's so loving great.

Bianca's part in the Rumble is more or less over at this point - there's an undercurrent that when she was going up against midcarders and other NXT wrestlers, she was able to stand above them, but then one former champion after another starts coming out and she still puts up a fight, but she just winds up out of her depth, up until she's eliminated by Charlotte, but frankly, the moment where she's eliminated is where the Rumble starts slowly going downhill anyway. I don't think I'm saying anything too controversial here when I say Bianca was the star of this Rumble. I also don't think I'm saying anything too controversial by saying Belair could be a big, big star if WWE doesn't screw her up. Her offense looks really good, she's strong as hell, she has great expressions and selling, she has a great, unique look, her long braid lends itself to unique spots, shoutout to this extremely correct take from Aphrodite:

Aphrodite posted:

Bianca and Alexa had more creative uses of a rope between 2 people than the strap match.

Bianca Belair vs. Alexa Bliss, Wrestlemania 36, hair-tied-together match, book it coward Vince.

Brock Lesnar entered the Royal Rumble at #1. He eliminated 13 people in a row. I'm told this is a lot.

"Hats, you were the one person who had my back. We were a tag team that I thought would never break up. When I needed help with Gloomhaven you gave it to me, when I wanted play Magic better you helped me, and when I talked about wrestling you were there for me.

But while we were fighting back to back you were sharpening your knife READY TO STICK IT IN MY BACK!

You stabbed me from behind Hats and I can't forgive you for that. You allied with people who could smile at my face and spit on me from behind. You helped lead me blindly into my own down fall Hats.

You volunteered to go up on the block against me Hats...I couldn't campaign against you. Your water alliances were thicker than your blood alliance with me HATS.

Hats I challenge you to a grudge match like no other! I'm coming for you Hats, but I'm coming for your friends first:

First there is going to be a 4 on 4 match..You, Poque, Somber and Teland vs. Me, the tough but tender Mr. Steak, the stone cold killer Sniper, and a mystery partner to be determined later, after we beat you in an elimination match Hats, I'm coming for you next!

It's going to be you and I, one on one in a barbed wire baseball bat, light tube alpha death death match. I'm going to make you bleed Hats, you stabbed me in the back, but I'm going to stab you all over!"
