Hell no, team 17 is all in Pidgeotto, just like we're all in being this year's ROYAL RUMBLE WINNING TEAM motherfuckers

Here's some cool trivia. Entry # 17 has produced zero winners, and has such legendary entrants such as:
BRAUN STROWMAN
THE GODFATHER
VLADMIR KOZLOV
SHELTON BENJAMIN
TEST
CHYNA

We got this you guys

After looking at the bulbapedia page for Pidgeotto, I am cool with our team being named after a gigantic motherfuckin' raptor and I take back any criticism of mine from my earlier post :shobon:

I also thought Chyna was pretty rad when I was a kid, so I'm taking this knowledge as a good sign for Sunday

Entrant 17 is gonna take the whole Rumble on the back of a giant rideable bird of prey :rock:

ElNarez: Nov 4, 2009

Krabby is a crab Pok�mon. His whole deal is that he's a crab. That's it. His name in japanese is "crab". It's simple. It's straightforward. It's beautiful.

The number 2, in the Royal Rumble, represents that simplicity. The first 90 seconds of a Royal Rumble match are one-on-one. It's simple. It's clean. It begins when entrant #2 gets in the ring, and it ends when #3 arrives and spoils it.

Just like #1, #2 has produced two Royal Rumble winners, which is perfect. But it's going to be ruined when #2 takes it this year. So, for the last time, let's celebrate that record.

THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF TEAM KRABBY
1988: Tito Santana (eliminated 2nd)
1989: Smash (eliminated 1st)
1990: Koko B. Ware (eliminated 1st)
1991: Dino Bravo (eliminated 1st)
1992: Ted DiBiase (eliminated 1st)
1993: Bob Backlund (eliminated 28th)
1994: Samu (eliminated 1st)
1995: The British Bulldog (eliminated 29th)
1996: Henry Godwinn (eliminated 2nd)
1997: Ahmed Johnson (eliminated 2nd)
1998: Chainsaw Charlie (eliminated 8th)
1999: Vince McMahon (WINNER)
2000: Grand Master Sexay (eliminated 4th)
2001: Bull Buchanan (eliminated 1st)
2002: Goldust (eliminated 4th)
2003: Chris Jericho (eliminated 14th)
2004: Randy Orton (eliminated 17th)
2005: No One (eliminated 24th)
2006: Rey Mysterio (WINNER) (Also all-time longetivity record, so it's Very Good)
2007: Finlay (eliminated 12th)
2008: Shawn Michaels (eliminated 12th)
2009: John Morrison (eliminated 5th)
2010: Evan Bourne (eliminated 1st)
2011: Daniel Bryan (eliminated 8th)
2012: Alex Riley (eliminated 1st)
2013: Chris Jericho (eliminated 25th)
2014: Seth Rollins (eliminated 25th)
2015: R-Truth (eliminated 2nd)
2016: Rusev (eliminated 1st)

So, there's some really good people in there, some that deserved way better than they got, and also there's Alex Riley. But that's okay! #2 is very good. Please make it your #1, in your heart. Make a place for Krabby. Because he's a crab, and crabs are okay.

I don't think anyone else has done it yet so here's the history of Team Hitmonchan:

1988: Harley Race
1989: Greg Valentine
1990: Roddy Piper
1991: Rick Martel (Ironman)
1992: Shawn Michaels
1993: Virgil

1995: Headshrinker Sionne
1996: King Mabel
1997: Bart Gunn
1998: Phinneas Godwinn
1999: Gillburg
2000: Scotty Too Hotty
2001: Kane (Ironman, Most Eliminations)
2002: Al Snow
2003: Christian
2004: Rhyno
2005: Kenzo Suzuki
2006: The Big Show (Finisher is a punch, just like Hitmonchan)
2007: Tommy Dreamer
2008: John Morrison
2009: Vladimir Kozlov
2010: Beth Phoenix (First woman to eliminate someone)
2011: Ted DiBiase, Jr.
2012: Primo
2013: Drew McIntyre
2014: Rusev
2015: Curtis Axel
2016: Chris Jericho (Actual Ironman if you ignore the time Roman spent napping backstage)

We started out pretty well with some Hall of Famers (and Rick Martel who should be in the HoF) but then quickly fell into a wilderness of mostly jobbers, including Curtis Axel who didn't even make it to the ring, tag team wrestlers and King Mabel. We did have some highlights with Kane and Jericho though, and it should be noted that 2014 was the debut of Handsome Rusev. We're definitely gonna win this year though or else why would No Irish Need Imply have put himself on this team?
