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!

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 SATURDAY, January 27th 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, and cement yourself in GTZ HISTORY!

Congrats Jeff! I think my entry slipped through the cracks. All good though. Good luck contenders.

27-Jan(#42)

God I hate Roman reigns

PizzaTheHutt

27-Jan(#43)

Pretty obvious Roman would win, but good match. The finish with AJ on the top rope could have turned out bad if the timing was off even a little bit.

BucketofJustice

27-Jan(#44)

We all knew Roman was winning. I still think he’s losing to Cody at Mania this year. Good match, zero drama.

PizzaTheHutt

27-Jan(#45)

When Solo went through the barrier thing, I was surprised nobody told the ring announcer to get out of the way first.

BucketofJustice

27-Jan(#46)

They told the guy directly behind the barrier to move as Solo was getting ready to run. Heard someone yell move a couple times lol

PizzaTheHutt

27-Jan(#47)

Logan Paul has the best Buckshot Lariat in the biz. Change my mind.

PizzaTheHutt

* 27-Jan(#48)

I bet Omos got Brock's spot.

Edit: Maybe that was McAfee

PizzaTheHutt

27-Jan(#49)

I guess it was obvious, but personally I didn't want Cody or CM Punk to win this. I kinda don't care how this ends.

PizzaTheHutt

28-Jan(#50)

Let's hope they finally wrap up the story this time and get it over with, like they should've done a year ago.

BucketofJustice

28-Jan(#51)

They better. I mean, you could make a case that it wasn’t quite time last year since Cody came back from injury and won the Rumble from the #30 spot. Also that last Cody/Brock match ruled. This year, though… has to happen. Cody beats Roman at Night 2 of Mania.

Fudge, sorry man. My bad. Been a super busy week moving and whatnot so I must have missed it.

Winner of the men’s Rumble:

@Shadowrunner !

Thanks for playing along again GTZ. Next year will be a full decade of these Rumbles. I’ll try not to be so distracted and last minute on the whole thing.

And SwiftJAB is officially IN for 2025.

PizzaTheHutt

* 28-Jan(#54)

I know there's memes about Curtis Axel never being eliminated in the 2015 Royal Rumble. However WWE recently put up the 1994 Royal Rumble match on YouTube and in it I was reminded that at the 38 minute mark was supposed to be Bastion Booger, but he never appears because they want you to think it was Bret Hart and he was too hurt to compete. Bastion Booger technically hasn't been eliminated for 30 years.

SwiftJAB is this year's Bastion Booger?

theJaw

28-Jan(#55)

lol it would seem so, and he'll be seeking his vengeance next January.

SwiftJAB

28-Jan(#56)

Bahaha! Oh I'm getting in the ring! Mark my words!

Looks like you weren't the only one Jaw was too scared to put in the Rumble. I'm the real winner, I was never eliminated!

Lol gosh darn I was off my game this year. Sorry pals!

I’ll be happy to throw both of you out in 2025

How about a handicap match at WrestleMania instead?

(I'll be the guy who stands on the apron and jumps to the outside when Swift tries to tag in.)

haha classic heel maneuver

How about this? If there's a triple threat match booked for Mania, I can randomly assign us 3 a wrestler and we can SETTLE THIS IN THE RING.

That sounds good! I'll hide under the ring until someone hits a finisher and then steal the pin.
