10 Men That Could win the Royal Rumble

Before last night I would have had Shinsuke Nakamura on this list, honestly at number two, but whether the injury he sustained last night was legit or a work, i think it takes him out of the Rumble regardless.


1. The Undertaker
It is highly fitting, though I would have preferred him as a surprise entrant. You have Brock Lesnar & Bill Goldberg going at it when dong, the lights go out, Taker gets in the ring and eliminates both men, not that still could happen but it will lack that shock. Taker is a guy that could go against Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns, but even more so AJ Styles or John Cena, and those matches could go either way. He puts them over or he retires as champion. Him against Reigns or Cena would make Vince happy, going against KO or AJ would make us happy. Cena is the most deserving of the honor but I am going with AJ vs Taker.


2. Samoa Joe
Here is another guy that could face any of the possible champions, he & Owens have unfinished business, he and AJ have a long history. If it is Roman, the Samoan vs Samoan feud writes itself, but the big one, yet again, is John Cena, that is a money feud, and one i think we will get at Mania, but I see it not being for the title.

3. Chris Jericho
If KO beats Roman, then Jericho has a great chance of winning. In his long accomplished career he had never won the Rumble, tonight could be his chance. His feud with Owens will not need he title, which is why I see Owens dropping the belt, and Jericho not getting his moment that he should have got in 2012.

4. Randy Orton or Bray Wyatt
These are two good possibilities, whether it is Orton or Bray winning, the other could win the WWE Title at Elimination Chamber, setting up the feud with the two Wyatts

5. Luke Harper
Everyone thinks Braun Strowman has a great chance, I think Luke Harper is the Wyatt with the best chance not named Randy Orton or Bray Wyatt. It would be huge, he gets the win that Randy & Bray wanted, and proves he isn't the weak link. Randy or Bray could even win at the Chamber setting up a triple threat.

6. Sami Zayn
I know, I know.....I know, we have seen Owens vs Zayn too many times the past year, and everyone wants them to be away from each other, I do too, but this would be poetic. Owens as the friend that stabbed Sami in the back, going on to bigger and better  things while Zayn floats around. Winning the RR would be the classic underdog story plus a classic Mania build up and match, the likes we haven't seen since Edge & Jericho. They have history, they have chemistry, it would be a perfect end to the feud, with Owens shaking his hand post match.

7. The Miz
I am a Miz mark, I love him, and 2016 was his year, the dude's main event run years ago was brilliant, last year was the restart. Imagine him winning, it reverses the heel GM, babyface being held down but with the face Daniel Bryan being bested by the heel Miz. He could face Cena one more time, their first major rivalry in 6 years or a babyface AJ Styles. Him winning the Rumble and gloating while Bryan looks on would only be topped by him winning the WWE Championship for his second time!

8.   Bobby Roode
It would be GLORIOUS, imagine one night after winning the NXT Title, that he wins the Royal Rumble, he would have to be Smackdown, as I could not see him facing Roman or KO. John Cena is possible but what if, AJ Styles & John Cena shake hands, what if Roode and Styles are in the WWE Title match at Wrestlemania? Dixie Carter would be a mess, and Vince would be laughing to the bank!

9.   Dolph Ziggler
With as many losses he has had in the past year, plus his new heel turn, Ziggler winning could be the next step. He wins the Rumble, is now back on top, his ego goes through the roof, and if he faces John Cena, the amount of material with Nikki Bella could keep it going and gain a lot of heat.

10. Kofi Kingston
This one is a long shot, but I always hold out hope for the day Kofi wins the Rumble or Money in the Bank, he has improved on the mic, is insanely over and is great in the ring. New Day is coming to an end soon, and this is a perfect way. He wins, Xavier Woods & Big E both claim to be going to Mania as well, Kofi says, that was a joke, and it is his time. You could go two ways here, a triple threat at Fastlane with Big E winning giving him the rub, Kofi goes on to face Kevin Owens, or Kofi faces Roman Reigns, Woods & Big E come out, Woods gets on the apron, distracts the ref, everyone thinks Big E is going to attack Kingston, but instead helps him win the title and heel New Day is back,

Favorite T.V. Shows of the Year

There were way too many shows in 2016, at the beginning of 2017 I tried to watch as many pilots as I could, and some were good, but the second episodes were more meh. The top 20 i legit watched as they aired, well except Love & Portlandia, waited a couple months for Love, for some stupid reason, and waited for the latest Portlandia to hit netflix.


1.   Stranger Things
What is Steven Spielberg produced a film directed & scored by John Carpenter, with touches of Stephen King, that is this GLORIOUS, piece of geekdom with received this past summer.

2.   Mr. Robot
A lot of times a series gets acclaim and then the following season it caters too much to critics, Mr.  Robot is not that show. It got so much acclaim season 1, but went super bonkers in season 2!

3.   Evil Dead
The first season was awesome, but the second season blew it all away, this was the Evil Dead 2 of T.V. shows, it was super over the top, full of splatstick humor and fan service!

4. Atlanta
This show isn't ranked low, i just think i would rewatch the others first. Donald Glover is brilliant!

5.   Silicon Valley
Easily the BEST sitcom at the moment, plus the funniest!

6.   Good Place
Thankfully this show is single handedly saving Network Sitcoms, a great NBC series that lets you cuss like a sailor, because you can not cuss.

7. The Night Of
The most intense show of the year!

8.   Orange is the New Black
Speaking of best seasons, in my opinion, this was the best season for the series yet!

9.   It's Always Sunny
Second funniest show on  the air, last season was possibly the best all around season they have had!

10.   Portlandia
Previous years i have not included this as i put it more as a sketch comedy series, but it has fully morphed into a sitcom!

11.   Gotham
The show keeps getting pulpier & pulpier!

12. Daredevil
If only all the other Marvel shows could be this good, better than season 1.

13. Game Of Thrones
No joke, I almost gave up the show this season, the first few were that boring, but the second half, so made up for it!

14. The O.A.
Think of it as Stranger Thing's weirder cousin. The ideas in it compare with ideas of the afterlife that i too share!

15. Simpsons
While not as good as last season(so far) it still beats what we were getting 5 years ago.

16. X Files
I wish for the 6 episode run, that more of the episodes were connected, but  loved both the mythology episodes and the monster of the week episodes.

17. Lucifer
Formulaic? Yes! Fun? Yes! All that matters, this & Gotham are DC's best series.

18. Workaholics
Best season since the first!

19. Man Seeking Woman
Such a weird & brilliant sitcom!

20. Love
The best thing Judd Apatow has done since his productions of 2008.

21. Vinyl
Fuck, i wish this show had caught on, so fucking good!

22. Vice Principals
Walton Goggins & Danny McBride's chemistry can not be touched.

23. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Began this show this year, watched both seasons together, what a bonkers series this is!

24. High Maintenance
The original web series is better, but this is a solid show.

25. The People vs OJ Simpson
The pilot alone is worth it....the rest not so much, mush like most series. However i finished this one.

Hectic Knife

Holy shit, this was a cool fucking flick, it is inspiring as fuck, super cheap, dumb, but hilarious. THe gags are perfect, i was laughing my ass off the entire time. If you like anti humor, this is the flick for you, they will beat jokes like a dead horse, and it will still be funny because of the execution. It is released by Troma, and honestly this is the best thing they have put out since Father's Day. This is how you do cheap, no budget film making, it is meta, it is black & white, it is self aware but not pretentious. The gore is awesome, cause at the core, it is a vigilante film, but the self awareness helps extend the humor, and this film understands humor, i found it brilliant!

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

Growing up, i was never a big fan of the Resident Evil games, still am not a fan, i hated the controls. I had a RE action figure though, my uncle had bought me, as documented here my uncle got me on my path for film, and especially zombie movies. So being a fan, I had seen George Romero's Dead trilogy. I wasn't hip on directors quite yet, i was only 12 or 13, but when my uncle told me Romero had been in talks to direct the Resident Evil movie, i was stoked. Then it never happened, Paul W.S. Anderson, not Wes Anderson, not Paul Thomas Anderson, but Paul W.S. Anderson, had the reigns. He didn't do a terrible job, i actually though he did a good job, the sequels, well Apocalypse is not as good but still was fun, Extinction wasn't as good, nor was it as fun, Afterlife was a bad film, but was still a lil fun, Retribution, was neither good nor fun. Each film got worse, now i know at certain times, i wasn't really feeling these films when i saw them, for personal reasons going on in life, so maybe that affected my thoughts, i seriously might rewatch these, as the only 2 i have seen more than once, are the first two. The Final Chapter, is so bad, it is fun, that along with me expecting it to be awful, shoots it above the last two, hell, i would probably rank it above the third, maybe eveb the second. I am not going to rank em, as i truly don't care, but i had fun with this crappy flick.

20th Century Women

This was a refreshing film, the plot is simple yet told in a great way. The cast was fantastic, especially Greta Gerwig, so is so damn cool & hot in this! I almost wish the film focused more on her, but had it done so it would have been a drastically different film. The story is part coming of age comedy, part family drama, a semi period piece but all around brilliance.

Gods of Egypt

What happened to Alex Proyas? Spirits in the Air, Gremlins in the Clouds is awesome, the Crow is one of my favorite films of all time, Dark City is perfect, even Garage Days is a lot of fun. But I Robot is bland, Knowing is super bland, and now he has done his worst film, Golds of Egypt....ugh, where to start? Where to end? This whole film is a mess, it looks cool, but story wise it is a bigger mess than anything in the DCEU.

The Good Place

This is a forking great show. How the fork is a show about heaven & hell so forking good? The jokes are well timed, the actors seem genuine, this is a return to form for NBC. The station had lost its lure after the end of Parks & Rec and Community switching to Yahoo. The concept is great, the characters are great....the finale.....changed all of that. It was a great finale, don't get me wrong, but it rendered the show's season pointless. How season 2 shapes up will be anyone's guess, i am stoked to see it play out though. This is one of the best sitcoms on tv, and there aren't many pure sitcoms left that are this good.
