    Alright folks, here are the official results, posted here:
    http://www.wwe.com/shows/royalrumbl...orld-heavyweight-championship-28402653/page-5

    Unfortunately, Stroman's illegal elimination of Lesner does not counts since he was no longer a Royal Rumble participant. And remember, you can only win one prize, so here goes:

    Winner: Triple H - @Gregf51 - 12 boxes
    Most Eliminations: Roman Reigns - @PHBoiler - 8 boxes
    Longest: Chris Jericho (50:50) - @LiquidCourage - 7 boxes
    Shortest: Jack Swagger (00:15) - @kapkenobi - 1 box
    Surprise #1: AJ Styles - @SirPutzly - 1 box + bonus
    Surprise #2: Sami Zayn - @miggs3030 - 1 box

    Feel free to dispute and critique.

    Also, my condolences go out to @cal1207 and @browniewithnuts, for their strong showings with four eliminations each. I was sure one of you guys had most eliminations, since Reigns was gone for so long taking a smoke break.

    Winners: message me with your shipping addresses and/or whether or not you would like to not ship (which would could as one of your boxes).

    Losers: If you know any of the winners, either in real life or by trading, and would like to send to them, let me know.

    I'll give everyone till Friday, when I'll send out the targets. Congrats everyone! Now if only I could book myself to win one of these things ....

    We should do this for mania!

    Maybe assign points for picking winner, how they win (pin, submission, dq), match time and match order?

    For example:
    Reigns over hhh via submission. 19:25 match time. Match 9/9.

    5 points for picking winner
    3 for how they win
    2 if within 90 seconds of match tine
    1 for match order

    10 possible points per match? I just completely made that up.

    Depending on how many entrants, prizes could be spread out.

    So R Truth doesn't count as a gimmick entry? I'm not trying to be salty or anything but he wrestled for 0 seconds seriously.

    Even though I was saddled with Sheamus, this was still a ton of fun. Congrats to the winners.

    And I am a fan of @LiquidCourage 's Mania idea. If that comes to, I am 100% in.

    I think that this is a valid question.. The character "didn't know he was in the royal rumble"

    My Kevin Owens pull would probably be pretty solid next year, though he comes out with a terrible limp then as soon as he enters the ring he's fine

    R Truth's recent gimmick has been "being out of the loop" which has dated back to at least Money in the Bank:



    Also, if you look back a few pages, we discussed that something along the lines of R Truth doing something along the lines of his comedy routine (which he did). Time wise, from when he entered the ring till when he left, he was the third shortest, with Henry and Swagger having quicker exits. Unfortunately time of actual wrestling doesn't matter, as then Ryback would win every year.

    So you just used the word gimmick about R Truth's entry last night. And the original post stipulated gimmick and surprise entrants got a box.

    Again I'm not trying to come off as salty or steal a box from someone, or really even argumentative about it, but I was pretty perversely excited about pulling R Truth versus someone like Goldust or Stardust or something like that because it was such a funny entertaining gimmick for R Truth to bring out the ladder and start climbing.

    Cheers to all the winners though, especially Jericho being the Iron Man. What a badass for a 40 year old dude.

    I think what was originally meant by gimmick entrant, was more along the lines of someone like The Boogeyman last year. Whereas someone like AJ Styles is a surprise entrant.

    Everyone has a gimmick, some are just a little crazier than others.

    Fair enough. Guess the misunderstanding is on me then.

    Yeah. Gimmick entrants are like guys from the 80s or 90s that haven't been around for years and are here to just pop the crowd. The ultimate gimmick entrant would be the Repo Man (rip)

    Today's your lucky day the Repo Man (aka Barry Darsow) is actually still alive.

    Sorry for the confusion. I'll readjust the wording for next year's contest. It is meant to imply a "gimmick" not currently employed by a wrestler. The most popular example was the year Mick Foley entered three times. So had Stardust actually entered as Cody Rhodes, a box would have been warranted. I'll tighten up the legal jargon for next year.
