edit: it's up!

Commenting so I can revisit this thread later and hopefully be able to watch this stupidity in its entirety

Anybody have it? I too need to watch this stupidity.

I hope they archive it on GB. If not, it should be somewhere on Twitch.

But yeah, anyone that missed it live HAS to watch it. It's...amazing.

@nightriff: Yeah I'll do that too now

Link it if you can please. I wouldn't even know where to start looking. Who's twitch account would it be under?

yea, bummed i missed it. Was up and everyting. Somehow got confused about the time...

I was hoping to catch it this morning but I completely forgot about the time difference! Missed it by like 3 hours... Really want to see what crazy shenanigans everyone gets up too! Can't wait for that archive! ...and i'm probably going to rush down to the local pawn shop and buy a copy of Wrestlemania 2000 now to waste time while I wait for the archive...

It'll be here when the archive appears on twitch.

@datarez: Thanks! Not showed up yet, but presumably it'll get there.

Here you go!

I wish you could watch twitch archives on consoles. Hopefully they post it on GB at some point.

@somberowl: I tend to download them via Keep Vid (keepvid.com) and then watch them through PS3 Media Server.

Seeing that clusterfuck live was the best thing ever. Hope it's archived.

Rewatching the Royal Rumble stream. Noticed Greg Miller of IGN enters as Road Dogg (even does the entrance) and gets eliminated as Kane. Did somebody goof? Did they switch over when Drake accidentally switched to CPU controls?

It was glorious from beginning to end even though they lost a little steam there. The way everyone constantly rotated was great - also love how in character they all got. Double so exciting to watch since I knew who all those guys were.

WHAT A SEASON! What a season!

I'm a proud member of the Wolf Pack, a Dangerous Duder.

What an amazing match. I think most female participants have great shit talk after match lines, such as:

• Au Maurice(?? from Double Fine): "Remember which character is yours", as an advice for her boss, Tim Schafer.
• Andrea Rene (Escapist): "I got glass in my hair", after the bottle incident #2
• TIm Schafer (Double Fine): "A lot of mean things said about my mother...", probably from John Drake's mouth
• Trin (Cards Against Humanity): "Everybody's been really nice to me, and I really enjoy being here .... FUCK THAT MOTHERFUCKER"

And Jared Rae probably has the best entrance amongst them!

Man, I want them to do that again in the next PAX, maybe with a better game, with more elaborate entrances, shit talk, and personae.

The Royal Rumble honestly made me kind of understand why people like wrestling. Seeing a bunch of people I know play really dumb, over the top characters and act like idiots was super fun to watch. Dan Teasdale out of nowhere! Greg elbow slamming a table with the Drake body pillow and seriously hurting himself in the process. Tim Schafer almost breaking John Drake's Diet Coke atrophied ribs!

My thoughts exactly after watching that...thing. That beautiful thing.

"John Drakes' last words were 'Tim Schafer actually elbow-dropped me.'."

So many good moments. The double bottles, the second heel-turn, all the crowd signs, the random post-elimination comments.

The stupidest of chaos. Greg Miller is a madman. Well done to everyone involved.

SPEAK TO ME, DUDERS!

Edit: Not taken by me, saw it on John Drake's tweet. Taken by @TravisDStewart, professional photographer.

I hope that becomes one of Time's top photos of 2014.

That really is a great shot.

Jared Rae = #Trueheel

So I'm going to assume it was sugar glass for stunts and they didn't actually club Lang over the head with a bottle, though that WOULD have also been hilarious.

That's what Boston does to these people. Our fair city don't suffer fools or tolerate unbroken glass :P

Thank's for posting this. Definitely one of the greatest events on the internet.

NAVARRO WORLD ORDER!!!

Lang got hit mostly on the neck the first time, so if that had been real glass he would have been pretty messed up afterward.

The camerawork was impeccable, and I'm really curious to know how scripted the entire thing was. Obviously they planned to bring Jeff and Drake back in at some point but was that only after they became short on participants last minute? And how much collusion went on to bring the Navarro World Order to fruition? Alex paused the game three or four times and seemed on the precipice of being knocked out multiple times only for people to turn away from him or not get in the last hit. Jared Rea being perfectly framed for his entrance also seemed too good to be true.

Also, in case you want to watch it on your TV or other device that can't handle Twitch streams natively, some enterprising user uploaded the entire thing to Youtube about an hour ago.

PAX East Royal Rumble 2014

At first i was kind of annoyed with navarro pausing it, as you kind of dont do that in a competitive environment but honestly didnt care as it was all fun and games anyway. After rewatching it last night besides the deliberate pause for The Wolf Among Us cementing his allegiance to Giant Bomb, the other pauses were for people to actually get to the console to play the game in time as so much shit was going down in the background

oh yeah, absolutely. sugar glass. I think Vinny was talking about ordering boxes of them either on UPF or Bombcast a while back.

glass beer bottles are actually pretty tough to break over someone's head and have better than even odds of giving them serious head injury + concussion. It also doesn't explode into tiny bits like that. I saw a guy take 3-4 swings with one against edge of bar counter and just ended up slicing up his hand pretty bad when it finally broke.

Jared Rea was the best performer in my opinion. Its was weird listening to Patrick Klepek up there when he clearly had no real interest in the event.

LANG had great footsies and taunting. He could have been a contender for the win.

D LEAZY got ROBBED, son!! That was some garbage!!

@fluttercry: Jeff's planning convos were pretty rad

@nodima: Are you implying that wrestling is staged?

@optix12: Yep. The only time I intended to pause it was with the jacket removal. The other couple of times it was to help I think Greg and someone else get their controllers set. Hopefully that wasn't too much of a faux pas.

The way Alex described it to me after the Rumble was that he thought they were going to pause for each new entrant and it very quickly became obvious that was not the case. Still, the true king reigned supreme over nearly everyone, the world over.

THE KING OF KINGS

Fuck Yea, the king of Wrassling! And me -___-;;

I think it was super impressive that Alex went in at right around the half way point and managed to win. I bet he also ended up throwing the largest number of people from the ring as well. Deserved!

Shame he didn't keep his mask on. "The Wolf" was an unstoppable force.

Having worn a mask on and off throughout the panel (just as a wrestling fan), we spoke about that: wrestling masks are FUCKING HOT as in temperature. He said he ripped his off pretty much as fast as possible.

Going back to watch the Rumble, Alex almost got thrown out a bunch of times. Like, seriously: I recall him dodging someone's punches to avoid falling out multiple times. It would have been way interesting to see who would have won at the end if the Wolf had been taken out. Sorta like how during real Rumbles, they always make the big hosses out to be a threat when they barely ever are (Big Show, Khali, Mark Henry, et al.)

Man, a great day for the Navarro Wolf Order. I think I know what the chief discussion topic for today's Bombin' will be.

I'm guessing someone's hard at work on a list of who entered when and got knocked out when, and by who? That would be just the sort of nerdy statistical ephemera I expect from my fellow duders.
