Roman Rumble 2016 |OT| Work In Progress

Every wrestling thread should have the tagline "Work in Progress"

 

[UberTag]

Having a five-person Rumble party on Sunday, and want to assign random entry numbers to all five of us, with a prize going to whoever has the number that corresponds to the winning Superstar.

Anyone know of a website that can help me randomly assign all 30 numbers across five people?

1) Go here.
2) Request a randomized sequence from 1-30.
3) Assign them out from top-to-bottom in groups of 6. Or consecutively (i.e. Entries 1, 7, 13, 19 and 25 in your randomized list go to Person A. Entries 2, 8, 14, 20 and 26 go to Person B.)
4) OR specify that you'd like the list broken out into 5 columns. And it'll do the work for you there as well.

23 7 30 26 1
15 17 16 18 13
28 10 2 19 8
22 24 11 20 21
29 25 3 12 9
27 4 6 14 5

Here's one example.

Bear in mind that if Triple H comes out at #31 and wins, you're kind of screwed.

Who are we counting as New Japan guys? Would Kyle O'Reilly, #BIGMIKE, Ricochet or Sydal count? Would the Suzuki-gun guys count? If so, I would have to switch my roster up.

Nah, contracted non-gaijin, for the sake of simplicity

EDIT: I would say Suzuki would count.

Don't expect any surprises this Sunday but if there was one, what/who would it be?

Thanks, Uber!

UPDATE: My son got 1, 2, and 30. #TheFixIsIn

lol jesus thats weird as hell. were they going to air this clip on tv or something? or was it supposed to just make its rounds on the interwebs?

At first they were going to do online stuff like that, all viral and worked shoot, then it would transition to TV. It was even to the point where Ambrose was supposed to appear on a RAW or Smackdown for the first time, then abruptly they sent him home. At the time they gave the reason as Ambrose having taken the feud too far in talking about Foley's family, but later on Foley confirmed that was just the cover and his being told he could not wrestle was the real reason, since it was supposed to lead to a Summerslam match between Ambrose and Foley.

 

[avengers23]

EDIT: I would say Suzuki would count.

Let's switch out Galloway and O'Reilly for Suzuki and Shibata. Suzuki wins the whole thing, so now I work backwards from it.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Question of the day: Was Montreal a work?

 

[Ithil]

Nah.

 

[iMax]

Taker
AJ Styles
HHH
Bryan

That has to be the extent of it I would say.

Rock?

thanks for filling me in, this is pretty interesting to me considering they dont really do stuff like this anymore (outside of stupid twitter beef).

 

[sf2fanatic]

Taker
AJ Styles
HHH
Bryan

That has to be the extent of it I would say.

For as tall/big as Taker is, he's been awful in the rumble.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

And because I know someone will want it:

Question of the day: Was Montreal a work?

No but it was the perfect ending to Bret/ Vince that started at suvior see us 96

 

[Bronx-Man]

I like how New Day are the only ones that are actually reading their books.

 

[klonere]

Let's switch out Galloway and O'Reilly for Suzuki and Shibata. Suzuki wins the whole thing, so now I work backwards from it.

Ha I started doing the same thing before I saw this post, I just have Goto instead of Suzuki.

 

[UberTag]

Posing with a book counts as reading, does it not?

 

[Ithil]

And because I know someone will want it:

Are they trying to turn Sasha into Jennifer Tilly?

 

[Recall]

Dean can't read.

True story.

 

[DMczaf]

I'm not an expert, but don't you have to look at the book to read it?

This thing is out on PS4 now lol

Speaking of Callihan, he's actually done quite well for himself - when he signed for the WWE he wasn't a "big" name like Devitt or AJ, he wasn't even that hyped compared to the likes of Apollo & Zayn and, ultimately, he failed to make any real impact in NXT. However, now he's been released, he's booked all over the place as a "former NXT Superstar". At the very least his NXT run seems to have created more opportunities for him and has raised his profile, but whether he can have the sort of matches to back up his hype is another matter entirely.
!

He reportedly had a pretty bad Lucha Underground tryout.

Regardless, it was smart for someone with his limitations to use the rub from NXT to up his profile on the indies. Drew Galloway is about the highest level someone could be where going back to the indies could help them. When people demand Ziggler or Cesaro quit and go to the indies, I shake my head. They would NEVER get the money on the circuit they get in the WWE. It's telling that Del Rio was the top guy in AAA AND had a guaranteed contract with Lucha..and STILL came back.

Without Spike money TNA can't outbid WWE even on the medium range guys and they were the last ones offering big money. AJ Styles had to work basically every weekend flying around the world to get a good salary for his level the past two years. No one can outbid the WWE at this point.

This is where WWE 2K needs to go.

Work a match, put people over. Send the fans home happy.

You win.

You missed FREE SPACE. That should always have an 'X'.

 

[FlammableD]

Let me know if I've missed one:

I'm pretty sure someone mentioned 50/50 today

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Are we sure there's no chance Randy Orton is back Sunday and they put the belt on old reliable? Just thinking here.

If we saw an RKO coming it wouldn't be from out of nowhere now, would it?

 

[Anth0ny]

Whats new today?

D Bry is ready to come back but that carny fuck Joseph Maroon still won't let him work

 

[Toki767]

Has been out on PS3 for a while. It's a POS.

Oh I know. I'm just surprised they're still working on it. And that people are buying it.

Well he came back because the LU contract fell through and he was no longer making the killer money of AAA and LU combined. I imagine had LU met his demands he wouldn't have gone anywhere.

 

[Menome]

Updated, so tune back in tomorrow folks! Can we make it to the Rumble without filling up the card?

 

[UberTag]

D Bry is ready to come back but that carny fuck Joseph Maroon still won't let him work

Nah, it's okay. See, D.Brine and Big Joe are still homies. Nothing to see here.
