Pipebomb: The Best Work/Shoot Promo


Over the years there have been many wrestlers who have given what's known as a work/shoot promo. These are promos that blurred the line between real life and fiction. Often these promos where done because a superstar was legitimately frustrated with there role in the company or to add intrigue to feud they were in. Sometimes the wrestlers doing the promos would go into business for themselves by saying things whether true or not that might damage the credibility of the promotion they are in. Here are some memorable work shoot promos

Royal Rumble Predictions

                                              


With the Royal Rumble tomorrow night this is a review of all the matches. Also I will give my predictions of who will most likely win.


                                           1. The Usos vs Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin
                                                                           
                                                             World Tag Team Title Match

                                                                        2 out of 3 Falls
                                             


 The Usos have been gaining so much momentum since holding the Tag Team Championship. They've quickly evolved in the last year. Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin formed last year. They've slowly rose up the Tag Team ranks. In they're last encounter Gable and Benjamin came real close to winning the titles. Due to a miscall the match was restarted and Usos won. If I had to make a predictions most likely Gable and Benjamin would win. Mainly because they both have a legit amateur background. They've come close on several occasions to winning the Tag Titles.


                                              Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins vs Sheamus and Cesaro
                                                                                         
                                                                      Raw Tag Team Championship
                                                                             
                                     

On last Christmas Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins defeated Sheamus and Cesaro for the Tag Team Titles. Rollins and Jordan was unwittingly forced together to team. As of late there has been signs of dissension between the two. Sheamus and Cesaro aka the "Bar" has carried the tag team division on Raw. They are 3 time Tag Team Champions. My Prediction Sheamus and Cesaro will win. Most likely the outcome will be Jason Jordan somehow costing the match for his team.

                                                                                     
                                                  AJ Styles vs Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn
                                                                       Handicap Match
                                                                   WWE Championship
                                         
For weeks AJ has suffered a loss from both Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Daniel Bryan made the WWE Championship match a Handicap match. I have two predictions for this match. First somehow AJ will manage to survive. Secondly the match will most likely end with both Owens and Zayn pinning AJ at the same time.

                                                           Braun Strowman vs Brock Lesnar vs Kane
                                                                           Triple Threat Match
                                                                     WWE Universal Championship

                                          
                                                                               
Braun Strowman has been a dominant force in the last year into this year. He and Kane has been in a intense feud since November. Strowman has also feuded with Brock Lesnar. He came close to defeating Lesnar for the title. Kane and Lesnar has never crossed path. My prediction Braun Strowman will win.

                                                         30 Women Royal Rumble Match
                                                  
For the first time in Royal Rumble history there is a 30 Women Rumble Match. With the same concept as the Male Rumble its any guess how the match will go. I have two predictions I would give the edge to Asuka and Nia Jax. Asuka has proven herself dominant in the last week. Nia Jax on the other hand will be toughest one to get rid of.
                             
                                                                     30 Man Royal Rumble Match

                                                  
                                                                               
The traditional 30 man Royal Rumble match has been an attraction since 1988. The winner of the match will receive a title match  at WrestleMania. This years Rumble is a All Star lineup. Participants are John Cena, Randy Orton, Finn Balor, Shinske Nakamura and many more. In this case the match can go either way so it would be hard to make a prediction. However one guy who seems to be the favorite is Finn Balor.

 Valets

At one point females were put in roles as valets to male wrestlers. Often these women were either girlfriends or wives to there male clients. Here are a few female valets

Miss Elizabeth 

Precious

Missy Hyatt

Sherri Martel

Marlena

Sunny

 Lana

Eye Candy

Women were often seen as nothing more the eye candy. More often this took away their credibility as wrestlers. At one time WWE often hired women with a model background. These women had the looks but had limited ability.
