| image 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 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! PAST WINNERS: 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) 2023 Women's -- Archer (via DQ) 2023 Men's -- Sun (via DQ) |
| TONY JAWHN ALERT! TONY JAWHN ALERT! TONY JAWHN ALERT! TONY JAWHN ALERT! image I'm just happy to be here... so I, Tony Jawhn, am entering this Rumble MYSELF! Thanks! |

WELP been super distracted by moving apartments (which is coincidentally happening this Saturday, on the day of the Rumble) that I forgot all about the annual GTZ Royal Rumble match.
BUT there's still time to join in. Just post here in the thread if you're in and you're in!
If I don't get a full 30 (which is more and more likely every year), I'll be filling in the empty spots with folks who participated previously (assuming that enough active members actually enter).
Tagging folks who have entered in the past:
@BucketofJustice
@SwiftJAB
@Frank
@BloodPuppetX
@Alaisiagae
@Roll
@Sid_Ceaser
@sinnie

No thanks. I’m good.
Welp odds are I’m just gonna whip you in there if we don’t get to 30 because you’re a past participant who actually likes wrestling. Not sure the reason to pass if ya dig the Rumble. There’s no prize and you have to do a literal nothing to participate haha

Wait, I won the women's rumble last year because of disqualification?
Yes indeed. I added past participants when we didn't hit 30 users, and 2 folks who barely post here anymore won. So I gave the runner-ups the official wins instead.

So instead of giving past participants any remaining spaces, if we don't fill this thing up, I'll now be going by the "first come first served" rule and just re-add the folks who already joined. So say we get 29 people with one spot left, that spot will be a second entry for Kommie because he was the first to sign up. Then I'll just continue on down the line until it's full depending on how many spots are left on Saturday. This will offer the early birds two chances to win.
If we somehow get stuck at the 15 we have now, we'll all just get a second entry to fill the remaining spots. That's the only scenario where I'll give myself an extra entry just to keep it all even.

Following today's disgusting news, I've officially retired the McJaw character from past GTZ Rumbles. Will goofily be Tony Jawhn moving forward considering McMahon is a
rapist and Tony Khan is not.

They don't usually let the ring get this full. I think either Nia or Jade will clean house

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

How about a handicap match at WrestleMania instead?

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.
