Gulak is amazing. dont hate.

If a Smackdown guy wins the Rumble, its going to be either Nakamura or more likely giving the current storyline, Kevin Owens. Shane won't give Owens a title shot, so he wins the Rumble to get one, with help from Sami Zayn of course.

I can go for Nak or Owens.

But we all know Vince is salivating at Randy winning another rumble

And never count out Cena.

TBH Rumble winners have been a giant wet fart the past few years and I don't see that changing this year. We all want Nak or Roode or Owens or Bryan to win, but smart money is on Corbin or Orton or Cena or Reigns of course.

 

[SeidoN]

Reigns will win. thats another record he needs progress towards

 

[Sheppy]

Wouldn't surprise me if Mojo won the rumble...


I'm serious, too.

If I was a betting man, my money would all be going on Cena or Reigns sadly. They want Reigns vs Lesnar at Mania, and they eventually will want Cena to get the record breaking world title reigns at a Mania.

Gulak in Evolve is great. Gulak in WWE is boring. Not his fault, they don't give any of the 205 Live guys time to build a character. Even Powerpoint Gulak hasn't had time to build properly.

Don't forget Orton! Gotta get Orton another WrestleMania Main Event!

Like you said sadly the smart money would be on Reigns/Cena. Everyone knows it should be a fresh face but don't underestimate the WWE's ability to ruin a Royal Rumble.

Gulak is amazing anywhere he goes.
guy is great and they've noticed it.
he's the only one who has constantly been good at 205 since the begining with an actual gimmick(s)

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Bryan to win the Rumble.

 

[ColePens]

Bryan to win the Rumble.

If he made a surprise return and won in Philly, it'd be a top 5 pop of all time.

PWS claims WWE are seriously considering another Global Warning PPV in Australia.

*grumble grumble UK PPV*

stop teasing guys.

It's nothing against Gulak, it's the way he has been booked. The powerpoint thing recently has been good, but aside from that they haven't let him (or almost anyone else) develop a personality.

 

[Sheppy]

How they haven't had a PPV in the UK yet is beyond me. I get the time change for North America fans, but a nice Sunday afternoon PPV would be nice to watch.

 

[The Gongshow]

OH god I don't want Owens/AJ again that didn't work well last time and it should have been amazing.

Give Nakamura the rumble win, I'd take Zayn winning it as well. Zayn/AJ could be great

 

[Guardian17]

Talk is Jericho podcast with Don Callis and Scott D'Amour talking about Impact Wrestling.

They sound very positive.

PodcastOne: Talk Is Jericho

Highlights.

Anthem contacted them after consulting with Jericho.
Anthem will give them control of the product.
There will be no scripted promos like WWE.
They want talent to flourish and grow their character/brand.
Home office in Toronto but will do TV tapings all over the world.
New contracts will allow talent to use their characters with other promotions.
Will concentrate on 6-8 core guys and bring in new talent to supplement and keep the product fresh.

Owens? Huh?

Observer reports that along with Lashley and EC3, Eddie Edwards is expected to leave Impact when his contract is up in February 2018.

Observer says that WWE and ROH are interested in Edwards, WWE hoping to start him in NXT.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Michael Elgin is such a piece of shit, wooow. The girl who accused one of his students of attempting to rape her posted messages between her and Elgin and Elgin told her "don't give me shit, either blow me or don't text me" and then told her he didn't try to rape her because she's had sex before???

NJPW is already noncommittal about him working with them after WK12.

 

[The Gongshow]

Owens? Huh?

They were talking about "what if Owens won the rumble" and that would be awful

God I hope not. Owens has been bad for over a year now. I haven’t seen his recent stuff but everything pre-HIAC was pretty damn bad.

Agreed. Last match I saw of his was HIAC, but he's been bad. His last good match was with Cena or Zayn

 

[Emperoreddy]

Owens was playing it safe as champ, and looked disinterested during his US Title run, which in his defense was a terrible gimmick.

 

[Disclose]

i will always be a Kevin Owen guy, but just do nakamura vs aj.

i want it.
