Tonight was the Royal Rumble, which means I’m in a good mood. While the show was fun as usual, I didn’t do well when it came to my friend Bob’s Royal Rumble Game. This game, which he’s been using for at least five years, goes like this: all the guests pick numbers 1-30 (40 last year) and those numbers represent us. There were ten of us tonight, so we got three each. When one of your wrestlers hits a signature move, you get one point. A finisher will get you two points. An elimination gets you three. Making the final three is worth three points, final two is four and your guy winning gets you five points. I did this last year and did a little less than average.

This year, my picks were #6, #16 and #20. That meant I got Primo, Hunico and Michael Cole. That means I was the first person in the history of the Royal Rumble Game to ever get ZERO POINTS. So I’m like the Drew McIntyre of that game. :damn:

That’s a lot of Jonathan Hickman. All good, though.

Since David’s server shifting seems about done, things should be back on schedule. Tomorrow I’ll put up the next installment of Cripes on Infinite Earths and the next Villains Reborn should be up shortly after.

Now a YouTube thing.

I’d like to think that this whole thing isn’t so much a slowed down version of the original, but Andre’s last words on his death bed. Because he was just that kind of guy.
