Read or seen something about Haku/Meng not so long ago. Generally acknowledged by his peers as the legit toughest b*****d on the roster as he was the only guy who Andre The Giant feared, because he slapped Andre down and put him in his place. Or something like that...?

iirc Bobby Heenan has a story of Meng/Haku biting a chunk out of a guy's back and spitting it on the floor after the guy made a derogatory remark about him in a hotel bar

Cena wins the title at the Rumble and Taker wins the chamber match. Pretty obvious this is happening but this match doesn't need the title. 


Taker retiring as champion or fighting and losing for the Championship on his final night is a pretty massive storyline tbf. Or they could build a whole storyline round Taker winning the title then the McMahon's going mental that he doesn't intend on defending it for another year. [emoji38]

That said I do agree with you. Is it a sad indictment that Taker Mania matches are the biggest (If not necessarily the best) match of the year?

Bookies odds are usually very low Goldberg came in to 1/9 for survivor series. They don't get the wrestling wrong that much either so better etiquette to spoiler.

That happened on the day I think. Usually it tends to get spoilery at that point. At this point, there isn't much to spoil.

Sorry about the odds posting, lads. It is pure guesswork at the moment and just going off what's happening on the shows atm. Once it gets to the week of the event they'll reflect what's almost definitely gonna happen.

Don't t he odds mean pretty much nothing until a few hours before the show?  The only time I've ever looked at them was for WM just out of interest, but seem to always hear about the betting taking sudden swings towards what actually ends up happening with just hours to go.  At this stage they'll probably be basing it on nothing but dirtsheets and "common sense".  

Anyway, they really should have the Rumble earlier.  Having this long a build is feeling pretty interminable, particularly on the red side.  Could they not liven it up a bit by having qualifiers to fill the gaps in programming usually filled up by shite?
