    Jeff Gerstmann - Giant Bomb

    Is this a typo? Or is Jeff playing this year instead of his client, Dr. Tracksuit.

    Is this pertaining to the results of the whole shindig? Alex isn't in the royal rumble portion, he faces the winner of the rumble.

    Don't be fooled: Jeff Gerstmann is in charge of that operation. Dr. Tracksuit is just his pawn.


    Also, I'm pretty sure it's Felix Kramer, not Maya Kramer.

    Alex.

    They put in a Karate Kid III clause where he does not have to be in the Rumble. He gets to sit back and picks off the winner in the title match.

    Dave Lang was never officially eliminated from the last Rumble. I think he has a good chance of taking it this time he'll lose to Alex in the Championship match but he's my pick to win the rumble.

    It was close between Ryckert and Alex.

    Dan has the fury of a thousand Suns when it comes to winning video games, but the analytic part of me can't let go that Alex only has to beat 1 person, who's going to be tired from slogging through the entire field to get to him.

    Navarro takes it and ascends to true heel status.

    Weirdly, everyone in the poster has that sheen on their forehead. I'm not sure what Humanity was going for there.

    Also, I could use some labelling on the poster, just to clarify who is who for those who might not know. I figured everyone out except maybe the selfie girl at the bottom right.

    edit: In addition, I figured Trites and Pope gave Humanity a list of entrants, but Jared is on the poster and he CLAIMS he won't be at PAX. I won't be shocked if he ends up as a surprise entrant as Number 30

    He's also got legit beef. He was never officially eliminated from the first event, due to hyjinx.

    Alex would've been my choice, but since he's the final boss I gotta give it to Dan. Jeff has the skills, but Dan's gonna take this far too seriously and win. Crotch chopping will ensue.

    Then Alex beats him down. "That's how we DO it at the Bomb!"

    I watched a video that said Zoe Quinn has rigged the Game Industry Rumble PAX 2014, and I believe it because it reinforces my preconceived notions about her much-rumored ability to kick ass and take names.

    Zoe "The Quinnspiracy" Quinn will win the Rumble.

    For the record, I voted for Will Smith to win this. Will take an exacta box on Will Smith and Alex Navarro.. Also add a trifecta box on WIll Smith, Alex Navarro and Stepto.

    Alex will win unless some backroom deals get made to take him down. It's to bad WrestleMania 2000 can't do something silly like allow a third player to interrupt the match at some point.

    You think any of these pretenders can take down The Wolf? You think any of these chumps has a shot at The Wolf's title?

    The Wolf cannot be taken down. The Wolf will not lose the title. The Wolf will show EVERYBODY what happens when you enter the ring to try to take what rightfully belongs to The Wolf.

    Bring on Dr. Tracksuit. Bring on Big Breakfast. Bring on Dan "The Alligator" Ryckert. Bring on Kalman. The Wolf will send them all home empty handed.

    The Wolf is waiting.

    When did Greg Miller become Mark Millar's brother? Also I dunno there is so many people I am looking more at who will take out alot pf the crowd and not necessarily win? I think on top of wrestling love it goes Ryckert, Badour, and Navarro. Also I want Samit Sakar to win guy's main job is to review sports games.

    I copy pasted the roster from the Rumble site. I'm totally passing the blame for that onto Aaron Trites because I'm a terrible person!

    Alex Navarro obviously isn't in the Rumble at all but if you mean who is going home with the belt I'm going to go with Alex Navarro.

    • He takes this shit SERIOUSLY
    • He doesn't have to play the Rumble
    • Afaik he gets to choose the main event match type

    You've got my vote, @alex.

    Only 6% for Samantha Kalman? FOOLS!

    Also, Alex isn't in the Royal Rumble, the winner of the Rumble challenges him for the belt. Now, the question of who goes home with the belt, that's definitely Alex. But Samantha will win the Rumble for sure.

    Look, I'm going to win this. Obviously. I have nine years of comedy wrestling experience.

    But you guys should recognize that Samantha Kalman came in second to Alex and is my only legit threat.

    I thought this time around Alex isn't in the rumble? He's to face off against whoever wins it. My money is on Ryckert to make it to the final against Alex, but Alex will win unless he takes a payoff behind the curtains.

    No clue. I want there to be a massive upset, but not too massive. Like... I wanna see... I dunno, someone I can't think of now, but in retrospect would seem glaringly obvious.
