TEW 2020 - WWF 1992 Episode 5: Royal Rumble Preview 

Repo Man didn't try to STEAL the Rumble number from Texas Tornado. Tornado clearly didn't pay his bills. Repo Man was just doing his job. What a fine upstanding citizen ;)

So hyped for the Rumble. I wondered what you meant about the Beverly Brothers being a great name. I grew up listening to, and became a massive fan of, The Everly Brothers. I always have a chuckle to myself hearing that tag team name.

Super stoked for a poem from The Genius. I hope he refers to his team as "the brothers, Beverly". *Texas Tornado* vs. Repo Man Feels like an easy call for the Tornado. Repo Man is such a fun character, that can 100% thrive on never winning anything but jobber squashes. Von Erich is an interesting guy on this roster, and in my own WWF 1992 save (early Feb 92) I'm wondering what to do with him going forward. Thinking of trying to find him an interesting tag team partner. New Foundation vs. *Orient Express* Switching from history here, this card feels babyface-dominant, so I just want to take a heel somewhere. This is little baby Owen, so it wouldn't do any harm to hand him a loss. Orient Express are sneaky good, too, especially Tanaka. This is my upset of the night. *Legion of Doom* vs. The Beverly Brothers With all apologies to the Brothers, Beverly, LOD are en route to the Wrestlemania VIII title match they didn't get to do in reality. I'm low-key hoping it will be against the Natural Disasters, because I love Earthquake. Regardless, LOD will keep it going here. *Shawn Michaels* vs. Koko B Ware I mean, duh.... *Bret Hart* vs. The Mountie In my save, I elected to head towards the Piper/Hart Mania match, and had The Mountie beat Bret on Prime Time in January. They're right there in terms of popularity, so there's no in-game reason Mountie can't just win the title legitimately. Regardless, Bret Hart is a future world champion no matter who takes the book in the early 90s, and who doesn't want to enjoy just a wee bit more of him as Intercontinental Champion? Looking forward to seeing where you take it. Royal Rumble: *Hulk Hogan* I love the stipulation that the Rumble winner gets a guaranteed place in the match for the vacant title at Mania. It's a great spin on it, giving good reason to transition from the Rumble being a standalone match to having the Mania implications, that's honestly smoother than they did in real life. I also like how boldly you've declared that the World title will remain vacant for several months before being claimed. Easily the longest vacancy in Federation history, and I love it. Anyway, Hogan is the easy call because: 1.) He is the obvious choice to be in the Mania main event, and 2.) He will 100% refuse to lose this match ;) I'll mention how I worked around that when your Rumble results go up. Can't wait!

i think Repo Man, Big Bossman and The Mountie have to feud, team up, form a stable, etc.throughout the series

When u next ep
