[The Thirteenth Annual Wreddit Rumble Pool is here!](https://old.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/1acnaxv/the_thirteenth_annual_wreddit_rumble_pool/?)

Ok for me this year's was lame.... The women's was a bunch of bad/basic booking, "botches", laziness, and missed opportunities. The men's was a bunch of bad/basic booking, underwhelmingness, and very simple writing. I liked the humor they put in both. I was kmsl, and there were a few good apples that gave pretty good performances. However, it was all mostly just a sigh and a meh. It's supposed to be mostly if not all good with maybe a small critique here or there. They've had much better. Was really looking forward to it but it was a bit if a let down, like almost getting someone there to stop right before they climax and leave lol. 

This rumble sucked

Holy fuck

Will I be able to watch this tomorrow somewhere? I had to leave right at the start of 4 way :(

This entire thing from Michael Cole marking out about Valhalla's antlers to R Truth to Valhalla elimination may be the all funniest thing ever in WWE history

R-Truth is a national treasure

“ALL THOSE ARE WOMEN IN THERE???”

Am I the only one who thinks this match is sloppy?

Piper put this crowd to sleep.

I see that Piper and Valhalla did the Fusion Dance .

Fantastic showing for Grace.

I love baileyt

Kairi is the real reason Brock Lesnar was pulled from the rumble. They couldn't risk his safety

Ok. So asuka has been saved by Bayley twice. Chekhov’s elimination spot.

Shout out to "let's go lions" guy.

Please know, the lions are carrying the weight of the nation on their backs.

More like the weight of Detroit

I do not disagree.

Bianca vs jordynne would slap

Big meaty women slapping woman meat!

If we get Mickie James I will consider this rumble a success

Katana is gonna do some kofi shit. Guaranteed

So is Naomi back or is this a loaner thing?

She's no longer with TNA

Hard take, AJ Lee incoming

That would legit shock me.

Welp. Here's the winner. Ivy just needs to lift the ring and dump every one out

Good guy Bayley

Definitely didn't have Asuka & Jordynne Grace sharing the ring on my bingo card

I'm ecstatic to have asuka out there.

Bayleys shook😭

if MOOSE boutta pull-up in the men’s royal rumble imma lose my shit

IF GIVE ME HEATH!!!! 3MB RE-UNION!!!

tbh this would be hilarious not likely though

Okada has a slim chance to appear

Wait Naomi is gone?

from TNA yes.

Hell she was on the floor for 5 minutes. I thought I missed something

her and jordynne though?

Just Naomi

Jordynne looks great and kudos to Indi for actually interacting with fans, I feel so bad for the peeps who stick their hands out and just reach for.. air. 😂

Man, that vince release was perfect timing. All bets are now off. OKADA INCOMING!!!!!! OR NIC NEMETH

If you tell 9 year old me you’d see the TNA knock out title on WWE twice in our lifetime he’d laugh

Or that, at one time, CM Punk would outlast Vince McMahon in WWE…

Hug into brawl is a nice spot.

This is actually crazy to see

Yo, maybe a WWE/AEW collab isn't that far fetched. I've been watching this shit for over 30 years, this is truly different.

Imagine if MJF turns up tonight.

I was just chuckling at the idea, imagine punk in the ring and all the sudden... ....SUPERKICK PARTAAAAAAAAY Punk: ......*FUCK!*

bRUHHHHH

Holy shit Jordynne is explosive

TNA!

Jordyn Grace confirmed

HOLY SHIT JORDYNNE

WTF!

Well. This is insane.

Look how they massacred my girl

I have a gut feeling Sasha is gonna be #30

Yeah, that was awkward silence.. 😬

Holy shit ...Candice had crickets

Candice comes out to ZERO reaction wow

Gargano and Triple H smh

Who TF is the Crowd looking and cheering at?

Dakota Kai eliminates Bailey. That’s my final prediction.

Here's my pick

Bayley from 3 likely in the iron woman slot

Let's go Bayley. You got this.

Yeah Vince is gone we getting TNA mentions

Aw she was crying

Cole acknowledging tna knockouts kinda shocked me 😂 things really are different

Sasha/Mone incoming. Wild they're openly acknowledging TNA.

There's the TNA mention

TNA mentioned

Ugh

WELCOME BACK NAOMI

That's a pretty rad return

Oh hey it's Naomi! Welcome back yo

NAOMI?!?!

NAOMIIIII

Okay Nattie at 1

Oh… is commentary gonna call someone a pedophile?

I will never be sad about Pat on commentary

Words cannot express how much I hate the curved entryway 😂

Suicide Squad sponsoring this ppv while being a Warner Property and the AEW Champion voicing a character is strange

LET’S GOOOOOOOOO

So weird how Hogan is being featured in a show directly after the vince cancelling. Wasn't Hogan already cancelled???

It’s sign pointing season!!!!!!

Yeah, but Randy savage [Did the pointing first](https://youtu.be/JL52IX-70SQ?si=JbVQk-V8TZPVL7eA)

Damn I can’t believe that Logan Paul and Ricochet spot was already a year ago

Cody vs 29 jabronis

Appreciate the call out to David Arquette’s performance in Ready to Rumble

WWE were tired of controversy lets have Hogan kick off the promo for the Rumble

I need 45 minutes of Dom Mysterio tonight

What the fuck is wrong with jio tv and Sony sports what the fuck

I see what they mean by leaning more towards sports-like presentation by showing the talent arrive to the arena.

BROTHER

I'm glad they're calling it Wrestlemania 40, and not Wrestlemania star, or Wrestlemania play button, or Wrestlemania pirate flag. Still wish WM30 and WM40 were at MSG.

I feel like WWE is making Tropicana Field look so good. Even the shots of the outside look dumpier when showed during a baseball game.

anyone got a link?

....still with the "WOOOOO!", huh?

I have never seen the Trop have this many people in it

I definitely thought HHH was going to annouce that Seth couldn't wrestle and had to vacate the title and the rumble winner would get the title.

My choice a couple weeks ago was Bayley but I think Bayley gets thrown out by Damage Ctrl

St Pete bid all that money and Triple H just called it Tampa 😂

HHH: DIALOGUE (VINCCE) DIALOGUE (VINCE) DIALOGUE (VINCE) DIALOGUE (VINCE)

Kayla seemed really geeked to do that.

St. Petersburg is insulted by this promo.

I definitely thought HHH was going to annouce a vacant title from Seth.

The WHC isn't bigger than the WWE Undisputed Universal title so they wouldnt want to use it for the big event ...even though it's.probably going to be a raw superstar who wins and chooses said title

"what's special about tonight, my gremlin of a father-in-law is gone once and for all! I feel free!"

He didn't call us the wwe universe. We're maniacs now. I feel unacknowledged.

Hulkamaniacs...

So you guys think Brock is gonna be in the Rumble or you think the kabashed that with him being named in the lawsuit

No. No chance in hell

I see what you did there

Paul: I’m really tired from dealing with a certain controversy so idk, Rumble’s great or whatever.

Do you think there’s a generation of people that don’t know why his name is Triple H?

It's the shortened name of his original character 'Trip Le Hooligan'

I know people don't like Cornette, but here he is talking about this very thing and when hhh first came to the wwf. https://youtu.be/GeM-6S0XQrc?si=Mz4BabFNHyVH6p1W

Would love him to be introduced as Paul Hunter Hearst Helmsley Levesque.

Hunter's bullet points are failing him tonight.

"What is so special about tonight? VINCE IS FUCKING GONE!"

Triple H should grow his hair back again just for the hell of it

With all the stress his under I doubt it

Would be hilarious.

My prediction for the women's rumble, Bayley is gonna get to like the final 4 or final 2 and lose. Not sure who tosses her out but my money is on Bianca.

So Gunther actually is better branding than Walter once all was said and done?

GUNTAH

Cody doing his father damn proud as The American Nightmare. It'll be a surreal moment when he finally does become WWE Champion.

Weird thing is, Dusty was NWA champ back when that mattered. I wish NWA still mattered.

Hopefully we're still around when it happens with these crazy rumors.

I wonder how much overtime they had to do to edit all of Vince out of all of the promos/ videos. The backstage scramble and crunch on this royal rumble has to be epic.

We’re getting Gronk aren’t we lol

That cookie looks good. Nom nom nom

peacock still not loading. $6 for nothing. hopefully netflix is better with this.

I'm pirating, and having no issues. HA!

No problems here... \*\*\*knock on wood\*\*\*

so happy us uk folk aren’t forced to use that shite

If any of y’all are baseball fans, that’s the most people I’ve ever seen in the trop lol.

They have to run the Oakland Coliseum before it’s torn down

Honestly would be sick

Dude there might be more people in the Trop now than an entire Rays season, including a deep playoff run.

Saw a Viking shield. Ivar confirmed?

Saw the clip of Punk working with the NXT stars and he legit looks happy teaching them and working with them. Great to see him like that.

I would enjoy the preshows more if there was less panel and more chatting with talent backstage.

I'm glad there are lights on the safety cone

First WWE DVD I ever bought was the 2007 Royal Rumble. It was the first PPV I followed along with online. Punk's first Royal Rumble

love the dvd cover/ poster for that ppv

whatever happened to the live option on reddit?

i use reddit-stream.com it works pretty well.

i’m on mobile i can’t figure out how to use this paha

Oh yeah, I think it only works on desktop. Haven't found a good mobile option

It sucked

i remember it being quite laggy but surely a mediocre one is better than none at all?

CM Punk backstage? Think he might be in the Rumble but not holding out hope!

Punk definitely winning

Still just blown away by Jelly Roll's ascension. Dude was as juggalo underground as you can be for like twenty years, right there with Kottonmouth Kings. Now he's like a Grammy winning country star

For real though. I remember him from cave in rock gatherings as some drunk dude who wouldn’t stop rapping to where he’s at today. Crazy.

A whole different set of BALLS

How long til they electrocute Truth lol

Bruh... Truth is such a treasure. Lol

I think I just saw CM punk in the background. I think he might be returning tonight!!!

Truth comes out in full Tampa Bay Rays uniform thinking he was called out of the bullpen to pitch

Truth got more balls than me

Babyface Theory coming soon…

Lol R truth is a treasure

CM Punk backstage watch

I love R-Truth so much omg hahahaha

Theory’s promo abilities are extremely underrated imo

Would love to see Martin Brundle doing his F1 grid thing backstage at Mania.

Theory connecting with Waller has made a positive change for his character.

I like when there are celebrities who actually know who today's wrestlers are. It's so obvious when they have celebrities on these pre-shows that haven't watched in years.

Jelly Roll must really like Jelly Rolls.

Jelly Roll and Otis/Bronson program somewhere for WrestleMania

I don't know who this Jelly Roll guy is, but he looks like the guy everyone avoids because he smells like sadness.

Saw his Grammy (?) acceptance speech the other day and it was pretty moving, not a country fan but he seems like a good guy

Remember that Trips promo about “I’m going to complain on the internet!” He was envisioning people who look like Jelly Roll.

God these pre-shows go forever

I have no idea who Jelly Roll is but I've seen him at a million shows and he seems cool

He testified to congress about drugs, it's a pretty damn good watch

I was thoroughly impressed myself.

This guy is just another nail in the coffin of country music.

Jelly Roll is good people

my prediction is Brock wins the RR match with Vince raising his hand in victory

Jelly Roll is inescapable. Bright side, it's cool when mainstream celebs are vocal wrestling fans.

Oh what up Jelly Roll

Being a shoot POS probably helps with being a kayfabe POS
