It's almost that time of year again... the only real way to kick off the GTZ trading season: the GTZ Royal Rumble match!

Into FUN? Well, this game is easy and you don't even need to be a wrestling fan!

image

Just post in this thread and you'll be entered in the GTZ Royal Rumble. Once we reach 30 entries, I'll randomly generate a list of the usernames. THEN tune into the WWE Royal Rumble on Sunday, January 28th to see the big match! Your Royal Rumble entry will correspond with the number your name appears on the list. Whichever wrestler is in that spot is your official avatar for the Royal Rumble game. I will try to be online the night of the Rumble to give real-time results and announcements concerning entries and eliminations.

If your avatar ends up being the last man standing - YOU ARE ALSO THE LAST GTZer STANDING!

If we don't get 30 entries by this weekend, I'll simply add folks who participated in the past. Whatev.

Win the Rumble, cement yourself in GTZ HISTORY!

2018 Women's -- shadyfozzie (via #25 Asuka)

In. I'm having a combination Rumble / Board Game night with my cousin coming over. Should be fun. Hoping with HHH in charge that this Rumble will be a good one. Hoping Matt Cardona (Zack Ryder) makes an appearance.

Yeah Cardona is someone I half expect to show up for sure, especially since his wife Chelsea Green just signed a new contract apparently.

Also happy birthday bud

In!

jgrant78

24-Jan-2023(#13)

Oh I'm definitely in.

BloodPuppetX

Alright sure

BucketofJustice

24-Jan-2023(#18)

Ok let’s do it!

Is there still going to be the prediction thread thing too?

theJaw

24-Jan-2023(#19)

Yall are added on in. Damn, I think this is the quickest we've gotten 15 folks tbh.

@BucketofJustice I usually just do that for Mania these days, and the random AEW PPV, but I'm totally down to do it for the Rumble too, what the heck. Maybe I'll throw it up tonight or sometime this week.

tommy1212

25-Jan-2023(#20)

theJaw

* 25-Jan-2023(#22)

All are added in.

Just for the fun of it, this is the list of past winners. I'm pretty sure there are like 2-3 years that wouldn't show up when I searched "Royal Rumble" (recent or archive)... don't know if that's just site maintenance or if 2018 was truly the first year I started posting the Rumble game. Could've sworn this started way earlier... but oh well. Here are the winners I could find:

2018 Women’s – shadyfozzie (via #25 Asuka)
2018 Men’s – NatGasHole (via #14 Shinsuke Nakamura)
Greatest Royal Rumble 2018 – Sam (via #41 Braun Strowman)
2019 Women’s – SirConnery (via #28 Becky Lynch)
2019 Men’s – bogo (via #10 Seth Rollins)
2020 Women’s – Guess I didn’t do the 2020 Women’s, whoops
2020 Men’s – Sid_Ceaser (via #16 Drew McIntyre)
2021 Women’s – theJaw (via #3 Bianca Belair)
2021 Men’s – Gamerslyf (via #1 Edge)
2022 Women’s – Frank (via #28 Ronda Rousey)
2022 Men’s – sa330206 (via #30 Brock Lesnar)

I think it's something Bill changed years ago where posts older than 5 years get deleted for good (just the general forums, not subscriber forums).

No complaints from me. I wish they had gone a little further with that little teaser they were doing with him and Brock.
