Spiderdrake posted:Overcrowding it as compared to what? I mean having NXT and NXT UK's big tournament happening the same weekend as the Rumble as opposed to its own standalone weekend where it gets all the attention to itself. Like, I get the idea is that WWE thinks people are going to be excited enough for the Rumble that they'll check out the NXT stuff the day before, but I think given how long the PPVs tend to run for now there's a good chance people will see World's Collide as something that can be missed or that's it's just a bit too much.

Considering my luck with roulettes, I predict I get Titus as my number. Think my best rumble roulette so far was a pre-Man Becky.

I will "watch" the Royal Rumble and post in the GDT most likely, unless I fall asleep. It's Sunday night and i'll be drinking so it could go either way.

I won the Royal Rumble Roulette in the year 2009. it was most likely some of the reason that i began posting here regularly. Due to the fame from it. used to get a lot of PMs about it. Randy Orton is the reason I am here hurting or improving your posting experience.

Aphrodite posted:It's just replacing a Takeover that would normally be there. isn't there a Takeover in a few weeks? Feels like we haven't gotten a proper Takeover in quite some time. SummerSlam/Toronto was in August, then we had WarGames where none of the titles were on the line, now we have this Worlds Colide thing, and Portland is Mid February.

Astro7x posted:isn't there a Takeover in a few weeks? Yeah, if the schedule last year was anything to go by, we'll have the following over the next year or so: Worlds Collide (Jan), Takeover: Portland (Feb), Takeover: Tampa (Apr), Takeover TBA (June/July), Takeover: Boston (August), Takeover: TBA (November). That's assuming WWE doesn't stick to their guns and decide to run Takeovers on Sundays regularly. Since the Portland one is taking place on that day.

I will have just returned from Seattle back to Austin waking up super goddamn early for our flight and will most likely watch parts of the Rumble, drink point and laugh but be too tired to make it all the way through. Quantum of Phallus posted:I'm gonna force my friends to watch it

Worlds Collide is just a fancy name for Takeover. That's just Big Name NXT person vs Named NXT UK person. There's probably Axxess stuff that they'd normally have that's also Worlds Collide related but who nkows

Charlotte opened up about Kairi's injury at TLC and...its a thing.quote:talkSPORT managed to catch Charlotte in London promoting WWE’s move to BT Sport in the UK this week and we asked her if Sane’s injury affected what they were planning to do in the match and how it was coping with such a bad injury in a big match like that. https://talksport.com/sport/wrestling/656962/charlotte-flair-wwe-tlc-kairi-sane/ Maybe its just me, but this interview Charlotte gave came across as her caring more about getting her poo poo in rather than making sure Kairi was okay.

I read Charlotte’s quotes in 80’s Hogan protecting my spot voice while inserting “, brother” at the end of every other sentence and it made an eerie amount of sense. She comes off as selfish and self-centered as he was.

Yeah, its a bizarre article because its very clearly a cleanup for "did you rough up an opponent when they had a concussion?" but they both seem to avoid actually defining Sane's injury, Charlotte says she was aware of it but thought nothing of it, and the writer ends the article just declaring that she was professional without any mention that others disagree or question that. It reads like a really poorly constructed pr piece.

It is a pretty "neat" view in how selfish a person can be. This is the aftermath where everything's cooled off, she's been told why people were mad, and she's had time to practice her PR excuse. And her cold, out of the moment, best possible way to explain herself is... talk about how she was worried of making the match look cool for both herself and for her tagging with Becky.

This was around the time she was complaining about not being in the main event picture for the women's division and was trademarking her indy name and poo poo. She was probably going stir crazy being in the mid card and wanted to blow everyone away during the match to get her spot back.
