Poor 2011.

Not only was it an awful year in which the Summer of Punk somehow resulted in Triple H Vs. Kevin Nash, but WWE has now bantered off its one claim to fame. The biggest Royal Rumble match in history is now merely the second-biggest following the strange announcement of the 'Greatest Royal Rumble', a 50-man spectacular funded by money that in all likelihood is as clean as Brock Lesnar's p*ss.

Scheduled for King Abdullah Sports City in Saudi Arabia on April 27, as part of a 10-year strategic multi-platform partnership in support of the Vision 2030 reform drive, the winner probably won't receive a 'Championship Opportunity' at WrestleMania 35. Which begs the question: what will the winner point to? The WWE Superstars have been programmed to do this for so long that they will probably point at nothing, involuntarily. Who will win in the first place? Since this is presumably a non-canon affair that "doesn't count", expect Triple H, who loves d*cking about on these house shows, to emerge victorious - presumably after delivering a Pedigree to a talented performer with a full-time future as a means of giving them "the rub".

That reads as facetious, but he tends to f*cking go over when WWE goes after a new market. There's always his crotch to point at, when he tells the full-time guys to suck it.
