2015 was a pretty damn great year for entertainment, evidenced by the worldwide box office seeing more billion-dollar movies than ever before, and as developers finally grew into current-gen consoles, we finally got some games to actually show these platforms off. Still, as 2016 begins, it's time to look forward at what's to come, and why you absolutely, positively must stay alive until the end of the year, if only to know if a certain iconic TV character lives or dies and experience some of the most promising fictional endeavours of the last decade. Sure, some of these events, movies, games and books will fall flat, but you need to be around to experience them for yourselves either way. If you're ever feeling down on your luck, remember that there's plenty to look forward to in the coming twelve months. Here are 30 awesome reasons to stay alive in 2016...
30. WWE Royal Rumble (Jan 24)
The WWE always gets the year off to an exciting start with its annual Royal Rumble event, which even at the worst of times is usually a whole lot of fun. We're still awaiting word on most of the card, but the 30-man Royal Rumble match itself is set to be historic, what with WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns having to defend his title in the Rumble match itself. Though this makes it extremely likely that Reigns, one of the few top-line stars not sidelined with an injury right now, will probably win his second consecutive Rumble match, at least it adds a little more tension to proceedings. Plus, the Rumble always has a ton of crazy spots and surprise appearances. Will AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura show up? We'll have to wait and see...
