Good stuff.

Tomorrow. I'm not counting them all now. Plus I need confirmation on the most eliminations.

[Pontius Pilate]

Thought the ending to that rumble was really lame Too predictable. Least I didn't pay a penny

[KK]

I won? I WON!

I do believe this is the second time I've won this prestigious event.

[Psychic]

Triple H was the longest I believe. Don't take that as fact. I'm unsure on the most eliminations.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble_(2009)

Triple H, with 6.

[Adam Pollard]

Same Bat-time, same bat-channel next January guys, as always, it's been a pleasure.

The Rumble is the one PPV that it's completely immense to be following along on here.

[Psychic]

My sentiments exactly.

Night all.

[The People's ElboReformat]

I enjoyed that. Right up to the point where The Big Cunto pulled Taker out. Wanted Undertaker to win. Or Triple H.

Noob question, who were the two guys that were with Orton, guessing some kind of team mates of his.

Cheers for the links guys, got to see most of it - missed about 5 minutes just as CM Punk arrived because of my gooseberry fool internet and my laptop refusing to turn back on.

Oh and I really like Rey Mysterio, such a snidey little bastard hiding most of the time behind the bigger people (so everyone) or behind the corners. Lols when he jumped down onto the two fallen wrestlers and used them as stepping stones to get back in.

Disgrace that you got less right but more points than me.

[Johnny Ryall]

Mysterio is finally gone!

ah shaaddap

[E-Man]

Since the streams were pretty gooseberry fool me and my flatmate ordered it at about 2am then I went to pick up one of my mates. Wasn't expecting to win with #2 but having Morrison was class. Also got a complete gooseberry fool selection from my wager with some mates; The Miz, Finlay, Kane, Brian Kendrick and Dolph Ziggler.

And my crazy Rumble winner prediction for Rog's thing also obviously failed. Not the best couple of hours then.

[Pontius Pilate]

So...Ram Jam vs Y2J at wm25, who's for it?

[Lonestar]

Check out the comments

Why did you hit to Jeff in Royal Rumble, are you sure that was the best?

I have never... been more upset.. with anything... then what I saw you do Matt... I never thought you turn on your brother like that... the was low man... very low... You're better than that! Or so I thought... you are and still are one my favorite wrestlers Matt... but I... I have no more words for you... *Shakes head*

[Rog]

Right, I've tallied up the scores. I'll be honest a lot of you were a lot worse than I expected you to be. A lot of the 8's would've been 5s were it not for the obvious rumble winner picking up 3 points. Everyone got Randy Orton as the winner except E-man, Lonestar, Corazon and Cropolite. Cropolite even being the first person to pick Orton for him to dramatically change his mind in the last hours. As Corazon has pointed out he got a lot more single questions right than most but because of his Jericho pick in the rumble he missed out on joint first place. Did I say joint first place?



















GRAPL Leaderboard after Round 1
Zellery - 10 (The result of the Hardy bout cost him the two points as he lost the retains point too)
Trugamez - 10
Dark Dragon 64 - 10
A J Styles - 10 (Went against the pack Of HHH's as MVP and went with the Big show on both. Could have been top on his own.)
Laggyjim - 9
Brick Tamlin - 9
Return_of_the_STAR - 9
Ironmaiden - 9
Teh Bork - 9
PsychoPriest - 8
Poncho - 8
Sw26 - 8
Adam Pollard - 8
Mockmaster - 8
Drumstick - 7
PsychicSykes - 7
Corazon - 7 (got the first 7 questions correct, let himself down bigtime on the rumble)
Lonestar - 6
Cropolite - 5
E-man - 4

So congratulations to Zellery, Trugamez, DD64 and A J Styles for coming joint first in the opening round of GRAPL. It's still very close at the top with 14 of you being separated by only two points. The 7s and below will have to step their games up at No Way Out. It's still there for the taking though as the bonus questions can launch you up the board while others stumble.

If anyone wishes to contest their score then feel free. It's late and there'll be at least one mistake there somewhere.
