They finally started saying the names first! I listen to wrestletalk vids every morning while I get ready for work but usually had to wait to watch the 3 count because it required me to see the screen to know who they're talking about lol
I do love what you've done with reading out the names, but here's a serious suggestion for a brand new series: "The 3-Count Guess Who? Featuring Tempest and Sat!" Oli and Luke read out their 3 word comment without additional commentary, and then Sat and Tempest must guess at who you're talking about and then we reveal, discuss, and keep score. Let the insanity ensue.
Man, years ago when they had Oli acting like crazy Vince was so damn great. I remember one thing in particular, Oli with his crazy face and crazy haircut with the top portion buzzed off pointing to himself saying “this is what winning looks like”. Been my favorite wrestling RUclips personality from that day on. 😂
I'm fantasy booking Kofi to come in, and immediately handcuffing himself to the middle or bottom rope, making it physically impossible to eliminate him. Then he's just sort of stuck there and helpless, but no one can figure out how to throw him out. A completely new spin on the Kofi-escape-spot.
@@Unitenotfight they could have some kind of prop handcuffs that are more easily breakable and have Jacob Fatu break them as he yeets him off the ring 🤣
A spot I'd love to see is Balor, JD and Carlito beating people up on one side, and Tama, Fatu and Solo beating people up on the other side. Then Balor and Tama turn to face each other and have a mini Bullet Club reunion. But then the the other 4 come in and staredown and Balor and Tama feel conflicted and tease a defection. And then it's just turns into an all out brawl.
Great job guys, as always. I liked your Jacob Fatu bit the best. Awesome job reading out all the names. That's a real crowd-pleaser. But now I can't play my guessing game. For the Women, my last 3 are Jade, Bianca, and Iyo, with Jade first eliminating Iyo, then Bianca. There's tension but then Bianca raises Jade's hand. At Elimination Chamber, Bianca beats Tiffany for the title, and Jade raises her hand... and then decks her, Mr. Wondeful-style, screaming, "This is my turn, my spotlight, my glory, my fame!!"
love that your saying the names!!! i walked to work in -30 weather today, and if i took my phone out of my pocket, it would die from the cold, thanks for making these videos audio friendly! much love from Winnipeg
Thanks for now saying the name of the wrestler! I listen to it sometimes and always avoided the 3 counts ones because I had no idea who you were talking about!
Some own royal rumble 3 count Alexa bliss: eliminated, Wyatt glitch (gets eliminated message appears saying welcome home) Joe hendry: say his name.. Cena: heartbreaking final elimination Ilja dragonov: number 30 suprise Dom mysterio: “accidentally” eliminates Balor R-truth: thinks tables match Randy orton: Saves cody…RKO Kevin owens: Hits bionic elbow
Yeah cus wwe doesnt care to push or use him until they need japan promoting. He's been enjoying nice catering for the last seven years. When was the last time he's done anything note worthy
Bless you for saying the name first. I was listening in earbuds while grocery shopping and I normally wouldn’t be able to do that with these videos. Cheers!
Thank god y’all started reading out the names. I know Luke mentioned recently it was originally done for editing purposes, but it is such a good change for auditory listeners.
Just had a thought watching this.... Last year Dom was apparently meant to eliminate Brock Lesnar but that couldn't happen. What if they try and give him a shocking elimination this year and he eliminates Cena?
My booking would be Iyo Sky, winning the rumble and challenging Tiffany Stratton to a ladder match. With both of them being the most recent money in the bank holders and giving them the opportunity to shine
Love that you’re saying the names. One suggestion I’d have is have someone who’s offscreen producing while you’re shooting this read out the name cause it confused me thinking Luke’s saying his three words 😅
I’m gonna be in the crowd this year for the rumble. My buddy that got the tickets is a big Auska fan. If she comes back and hits the mist it’s gonna be awesome
I love what Oli and Luke had to say about superstars like Stephanie, Lyra and Sheamus! I hope he can become the intercontinental champion at wrestlemania 41 that would be really cool for him.
Great video lads, I’ve got a challenge for you. During one of the next Three counts, preferably the Wrestlemania one, I think it would be a fun exercise to try and come up with a prediction for everyone on the roster, not including “enjoys nice catering”. Get as wild and wacky with it as you want. For the ones you truly can’t come up with predictions for, send them over to the Patreon and have them come up with some.
Saying name thing works. May I suggest something? Tempest and/or Sat recording the names, and then them getting played in a distorted Super Smash Bros. Brawl announcer way (with related wrestler quote/sound muffled Wiimote sound too?)
Usually I agree with the whole catering section, but this time you included quite a few names almost guaranteed to appear in the rumble. Trick Williams, Michin, Zelina Vega, Nathan Fraser I think will all be in.
Has R-Truth done a "Reverse Royale Rumble" spot yet? He comes out as a couple people are eliminated. Then he starts fighting them, they pull him down from entering to fight him back, and then once it clears and he finally enters he celebrates winning that round of the match.
Im glad you mention the silliness of saying "Penta is the second best luchador in the world". I hated that. Not only would it make new fans say "Oh... why are we getting the SECOND best luchador? Just bring out Rey then..." but it also makes the rest of the luchadors on the roster look bad. Why wouldnt they just say "Penta, an incredible talent, has been showcasing his skills all over the world for years, now a WWE superstar!" but they got stuck ranking luchadors for some dumb reason.
The wrestletalk paradox: if someone loses a belt too quickly, or too many people have it. It’s a jumbled mess and who cares If there are long reigns and lots of good wrestlers are doing stuff not involving the belt: they aren’t doing anything what’s even the point and who cares
While I like the idea of Big E getting to take Kofi and Xavier out, I have something more unexpected. New Day's cleaning house, beating up babyfaces, when Big E comes out, marches into the ring, stares the two of them down... and eliminates John Cena. Cuts a promo the next week about how Kofi and Xavier were right and made him re-evaluate his priorities, have him go straight for Gunther at Elimination Chamber. Alternatively, eliminating Joe Hendry would probably get him some heat.
Okay you guys jave have improved on how Three Counts is going to be and i think it did help. Otherwise...........this is where we might see a few TNA wrestlers appearing and some returns from WWE but I think this might be where Roxanne entered intonthe rumble, only to have AJ Lee returning to the rumble. I know it a long shot but it would be kinda cool to watch
For Alexa Bliss: Blackout, total elimination. Make a spot where there's like 3 or 4 people who obviously aren't gonna win and then you get the countdown. It hits zero and the buzzer sounds, lights go out and when they come back on and everyone is out of the ring except Alexa Bliss. And afterwards you could give the ones that got eliminated for a "how do you know I went over the top rope?" storyline for the women's u.s. or intercontinental belt.
For Cena I have: "Bryan 2015 redo", as in he's gonna come in, eliminate maybe 1 or 2 people before being shockingly thrown out even before number 20 has entered
I have a theory that during the Cody V Kevin Ladder match Sami is either a no show or hesitates to help which then causes KO to attack Sami and hit him with the Package Piledriver which rules Sami out of the Rumble and then Kevin takes Sami's spot after he lost to Cody but is eliminated by a returning Randy Orton.
Iyo/Rhea is absolutely better than Becky/Rhea, Iyo actually knocked Rhea off in the second Mae Young Classic, there's a great story there of them both being here for the same length, both having strong runs, both being former champs, etc etc etc
17:25 Jacob didn't seem to be loving solo all too much on SmackDown, he honestly sounds like he's trying to move into the tribal Chief position, because he was specifically pointing out the fact that he hasn't been pinned in any of the matches he's taken part in (he's pointing out what we've been saying this whole time, he pointed out the fact that he is the MVP of Solo's bloodline, and I honestly feel like he was more upset that he was being booed, because I don't think he ever said anything about solo.)
I already know they’ll have ads all over but man I hated the cricket wireless ads for the rumble match last year it made everything feel way more tacky. I wish the ring could be sacred just for the rumble matches at LEAST
They finally started saying the names first! I listen to wrestletalk vids every morning while I get ready for work but usually had to wait to watch the 3 count because it required me to see the screen to know who they're talking about lol
Oh no, it's the Netflix thing!
I loved to hear these longer predictions and had an annoyance while at work because I didn't know who they were talking about. Positive changes!
FINALLY!!!!! Thank goodness. I love these even more now.
I felt this same thing! Reason I can't watch TLC while driving!
Same!
Thank you for reading out the names before each prediction! Great change
Should do this with TLC!
@@Winningkruseduh They do?
It’s great, but Alexa Bliss’ caused problems with a certain Amazon product in my room 😡

Oh that’s a good one!
That would be cool
Great idea
Yes
THANK YOU GUYS for saying the names! Such a huge quality of life upgrade :D I can follow along while I do chores now
Luke still not getting his ten quid is my favorite WT storyline.
He tried to give him 20 though😤

Kind of amazed they haven’t had anyone do this before. I’ve had that thought before, many years ago. Handcuffs have a long history in wrestling 😂
@@Unitenotfight they could have some kind of prop handcuffs that are more easily breakable and have Jacob Fatu break them as he yeets him off the ring 🤣
As somebody who “watches” this while driving to work, thank you for saying the names beforehand.
Big ups for stating the names, not every RUclips user has sufficient vision.
Certainly appreciated by this blind man.

I really appreciate you guys saying the names first! I think you guys get through it very smoothly! Great vid!
I like that you are reading out the names, it allows for it to be in the background and enjoyed
I agree !
I was gonna comment on this, this makes it much easier for me to listen to at work
Agreed
Absolutely agree, makes working while listening to this a lot better
@@TJ_CrXssliterally exactly this
“Moves like a box of hammers” absolutely finished me. Dying laughing 😂

Im glad you started saying the names first, especially as someone who listens
Think the Penta entrance can happen in any spot as long as the countdown ends in 3-2-1- Cero Miedo instead of the buzzer
I like the idea of Jacob fatu eliminating solo but in my brain while Jacob is eliminating solo he says "I Love you solo"
love that your saying the names!!! i walked to work in -30 weather today, and if i took my phone out of my pocket, it would die from the cold, thanks for making these videos audio friendly! much love from Winnipeg
Saying the wrestler names beforehand is a massive upgrade for this series. Thank you WrestleTalk!!!!
Reading the names is brilliant as I often don't have time to watch but love to listen and doing this made me be able to watch this easier. Thankyou!!!
HUGE THANK YOU for verbally announcing each wrestler. It's a small change but an absolutely _massive_ improvement. Thank you.
What no Joe Hendry ?!
I realized that when they started talking about Logan Paul....
I guess no one said his name 😂🤦♂️
I don't believe so...
Well, they finally started actually saying the names. And of course, if they say HIS name, the he appears.
He doesn’t work for WWE
@@KingSmokeZilla someone should let HBK know to stop booking him on NXT then 🤣
CM Punk - Eliminates.... John.... Cena
Calling it now
Eliminated... By... Cena
@@LandontheHedgehogwrong
Thanks for now saying the name of the wrestler! I listen to it sometimes and always avoided the 3 counts ones because I had no idea who you were talking about!
As a listener while I'm at work thank you for saying the names makes it way easier for me to understand what's going on
29:37 Hear me out, Sami eliminates Roman. Not as a turn, but as a statement that Roman isn’t his top priority
Some own royal rumble 3 count
Alexa bliss: eliminated, Wyatt glitch (gets eliminated message appears saying welcome home)
Joe hendry: say his name..
Cena: heartbreaking final elimination
Ilja dragonov: number 30 suprise
Dom mysterio: “accidentally” eliminates Balor
R-truth: thinks tables match
Randy orton: Saves cody…RKO
Kevin owens: Hits bionic elbow
So apparently Shinsuke Nakamura is enjoying good catering despite being the US Champion
I mean, that's what he did every time he won a midcard title...
Yeah cus wwe doesnt care to push or use him until they need japan promoting. He's been enjoying nice catering for the last seven years. When was the last time he's done anything note worthy
Nakamura has been a midcard champ a buncha times and he's always been treated like this
He is so boring, get the title on Jimmy. Then he can lose it to Jacob after a decent run✍️.
That’s exactly why he’s enjoying good catering
Reading the names is goated as hell, you are some real jam up guys
Thanks for saying the names, guys. I love listening to videos whilst driving or walking and it makes such a difference
The John Cena can’t skin the cat tangent genuinely had me crying laughing 😂 Loved that
0:50 Could have cut down on catering by booking it as the Greatest Royal Rumble 2 😏
1:25 The greatest Royal Rumble you say? 🤣
Bless you for saying the name first. I was listening in earbuds while grocery shopping and I normally wouldn’t be able to do that with these videos. Cheers!
Thank you for saying the names! Now I can listen to this while I'm driving
Omg thank you for saying the wrestlers names. I'm audio only sometimes and I love it!
Thank god y’all started reading out the names. I know Luke mentioned recently it was originally done for editing purposes, but it is such a good change for auditory listeners.
love the names guys!
So much easier to watch/ listen to with the names being said. Good change guys. Good change
Blind man here. Thanks for actually reading the names out for once, first of this series I was actually able to enjoy.
Just had a thought watching this.... Last year Dom was apparently meant to eliminate Brock Lesnar but that couldn't happen. What if they try and give him a shocking elimination this year and he eliminates Cena?
No.
Thank you for reading out the names! Can finally listen to it on my drives
I love the "You know Vince isn't in charge anymore " hilarious and true!!
My booking would be Iyo Sky, winning the rumble and challenging Tiffany Stratton to a ladder match. With both of them being the most recent money in the bank holders and giving them the opportunity to shine
I love how luke didn't think it will work but it seems the whole comment section is pretty much thanking them for saying the names first
The Pat McAfee imitation by Ollie @33:54 is a riot 🤣
Love that you’re saying the names. One suggestion I’d have is have someone who’s offscreen producing while you’re shooting this read out the name cause it confused me thinking Luke’s saying his three words 😅
5:58 this annoys me to no end because Everyone is a word that exists and is original word used in the classic saying.
Half of the fun of this is Oli trying to bend the rules though 😂
I appreciate the joy these guys get out of their job. I always seem to have a smile on my face when these guys are having fun.
“Deal….. and I want 10 quid”😂😂
I’m gonna be in the crowd this year for the rumble. My buddy that got the tickets is a big Auska fan. If she comes back and hits the mist it’s gonna be awesome
I love what Oli and Luke had to say about superstars like Stephanie, Lyra and Sheamus! I hope he can become the intercontinental champion at wrestlemania 41 that would be really cool for him.
I really appreciate you saying the names!
My name is Kieran, and the confusion hearing that Bronson Reed is gonna Tsunami Kieran is not what i expected on my lunch break.
“She’s gotta back” 😂😂😂
3 count is the best thing on this channel, love it
Actual professional dancer’s verdict here: that intro was elite
With Jacob's promo on Smackdown this week and especially the way he looked at Solo, I can totally see Luke's thing happen
Oli being disappointed in Luke's Jacob Fatu spot is hilarious🤣🤣🤣

Moves like a bag of hammers. Perhaps the best description of Cena 🤣
Great that they read out the names first. I can see it's a lot of work though, definitely worth it
I agree with the comments, thank you for reading the names🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Rumble 92 > Rumble 01
Love how the Jampionship defenses can be officially announced in non-Prediction videos under the most random of circumstances.
Usually I agree with the whole catering section, but this time you included quite a few names almost guaranteed to appear in the rumble. Trick Williams, Michin, Zelina Vega, Nathan Fraser I think will all be in.

If John Cena "skins the cat", Simon Miller will shave his head😂
Oli Davis saying _"Wacky waving inflatable arm tube man!"_ was not on my 2025 Bingo Card but I'm celebrating it nonetheless!

Hot take: given the recent partnership between TNA and WWE, we could potentially see a Gail Kim surprise entrance in the Rumble as shes part of TNA
