I was looking at that one that just said Zack at first too, but it actually says Zack Sabre Jr. in full towards the bottom.

given that seth rollins' titantron still has SGT SLAUGHTER and BIG SHOW VS FLOYD MONEY MAYWEATHER in it, i'm sure they just copied and pasted a list of wrestlers from their website and it included the CWC competitors.

I've met Tyler Bate. Hes loving tiny. Hes like 5'4".

Thats my addition to this. I'm getting hosed off my face with a few friends tomorrow to watch Royal Rumble until the early hours, so I'm glad he'll probably appear with his goofy entrance theme.

yeah but he'll come in and put some massive dude in the airplane spin and eliminate him and everyone will immediately love Tyler Bate.

Takeover Live spoiler: Tyler Bate had a match tonight against Oney Lorcan. Tyler won with the Tyler Driver '97, of course. Not sure if the match will make TV next week or not.

And there was another cool surprise as a dark match: Wolfgang. Seriously. There were a surprising number of Wolfie fans even with the arena maybe 20% full as people shuffled in. I have hopes he just might make it, at least to NXT.

Edit: de-spoiler-ified because I have the dumb.

Friendly reminder, you don't need spoiler tags in the spoiler thread.

Wolfgang was one of the UKCT standouts in my book, so I'm glad he's getting some love.

Gaz-L: Jan 28, 2009

Wolfgang would probably do fine in NXT, the problem is the main roster, because even with the de-emphasis on size, his shtick won't work so well when he's average size for the roster instead of a relative giant. Hard to be the big tough hoss when Randy Orton towers over you.

# ? Jan 29, 2017 05:10

Benne: Sep 2, 2011; STOP DOING HEROIN

I always forget how tall Randy Orton really is. Like, he's lean and cut and doesn't really have the body type of a "big guy," but then he steps into the ring and it's striking how much taller he is than most of the guys. That billed 6'5 height is legit.

# ? Jan 29, 2017 05:15

Gaz-L: Jan 28, 2009

Billy Gunn and Edge were similar, never pushed as 'big' guys, but legit frickin' huge to the point that putting a Rey Mysterio or Taka in with them made them look like Big Show.

DarkstarIV: Apr 6, 2010; OFFICIAL RACIST

As of this morning, Randy Orton is sitting at -990 for winning the Royal Rumble (was -270 to -350 earlier). While I don't think the smart money has come in yet, people are getting more confident in the fact that Orton will win the Royal Rumble. Which is :geno:

as gently caress if true.

# ? Jan 29, 2017 15:32

long-ass nips Diane: Dec 13, 2010; Breathe.

Dave said Orton is penned in to win on last night's/this morning's Observer Radio.

At least it's not a Raw guy. Maybe they'll make Bray Wyatt an effective heel now.

# ? Jan 29, 2017 15:35

Gaz-L: Jan 28, 2009

The most disappointing part is being able to see WWE/Vince's logic for it: they need a reason Randy's not in the chamber match for the belt.

I remember meeting Booker T in 1999 and being amazed at how massive he was and he was never a traditional big guy.

Then I saw Gene snitsky in person around 2006 and God drat that guy was huge.

I'm really not sure why they wouldn't even do the reverse and have Bray win. Bray's enough of a smark fave that people would probably pop for it. And Orton wins the title in the chamber. Orton likes being a heel better anyway!

Because Randy is winning at Mania, so this way he wins the title at Mania instead of retains? Seems pretty easy to me.

How do you do an RKO to eliminate someone from a battle royal, though?

Alakaiser: Jan 3, 2007; And the Lord Josh said, "Blessed are those cast away by Belichick, theirs is the kingdom of Denver." (Tebow 1:25)

Because in the Rumble, finishers like that magically pop people back up on their feet for the easy shove out of the ring after that. Austin did all sorts of stunners like that in his rumbles.

Half-assed RKO while the guy is standing on the apron. Or the pop-up and toss, like Alakaiser mentioned.

And then Brock goes for the title so he can get his rematch. Of course, they'd need to have Brock retain, so again, they're not gonna.

Benne: Sep 2, 2011; STOP DOING HEROIN

Here are the odds for the rest of the card

code:

Charlotte Flair -1950
Bayley +950

Rich Swann +850
Neville -1750

Becky Lynch/Naomi/Nikki Bella -175
Alexa Bliss/Mickie James/Natalya +135

Cesaro and Sheamus -170

There would be something hilarious about Reigns, who they desperately want to be a big star, winning at Rumble and then losing the belt to Goldberg clean as a whistle at Fast Lane.

Also did he talk at all about Balor? Has there been any more news about him coming back after the medical tests?

Finn as #30 in full Demon King regalia would be a hell of a surprise and finish, actually. And as long as he's cleared enough to take one or two bumps, that's all he really has to do. A slingblade, a dropkick and some clotheslines would be fine.
