Rumble facts to follow!

EDITED for a minor error in the draw and to add last year's winners.

[KK]

I wonder if Sami Zayn has dual citizenship with Syria. If he does he won't be able to do any of the WWE tours for the next few months otherwise he wouldn't be allowed back in.

Will Flair make an appearance during the rumble?

[BAKA]

I hope Orton doesn't win either. Such an odd favourite though... Makes you wonder if there's something to it.

Thanks for including me in the sweepstake! 27 seems like a better number than last year too. I think 27 will be Taker.

[shadow202]

I really don't see any sense in Orton winning the rumble, unless Bray wins the title and they feud for it at Mania

[Cuban Pete]

So I just PM you a number?

Who's staying up (or at least attempting to) for it?

[shadow202]

I got both number 15 & 25. Am I'm playing a bit of a Mick Foley role this year?

[BAKA]

Not long now for the pre-show. 10pm start according to the Network schedule. The pre-show actually has some quality matches too.

[Balloon Sod]

3 hour pre-show?

3 hour pre-show?

I thought the main show started at 12am?

[KK]

Yeah, all the big 4 shows are now 6 hours in length (4 hours for the main show).

[Return_of_the_STAR]

Is the main show 4 hours?

Edit know answered this above.

[BAKA]

Great having Lawler back on the pre-show.

[Return_of_the_STAR]

HBK doesn't look too pleased to be on the pre show panel.

[KK]

Disappointing set tonight, but I guess it's to be expected these days aside from WrestleMania.

Seth Rollins running in on TakeOver really was so great.

[Balloon Sod]

Not long now for the pre-show. 10pm start according to the Network schedule. The pre-show actually has some quality matches too.

3 hour pre-show?

I thought the main show started at 12am?

Oh. I have no idea any more.

Odds chat:

Why haven't the odds changed yet, Orton cannot be winning this surely?

I hope not, I read an article earlier though about a number of wrestlers who were suddenly odds on favourite to win and then didn't, so hopefully it's not happening.

[shadow202]

Tonight is when we get the pointing at the WM sign for the next few months. For some really it really annoys me.

I've bet on pretty much everyone other than him. Including Shane McMahon. I think I would prefer that.

The final 3 hours are going to be Orton pointing at it.
