SPOILER: show
Betcha thought I would say Cena wins didnt ya?

El Fangel 12-19-2008 02:53 AM

Im calling Christian as a surprise entrant.

Mr. Nerfect 12-19-2008 03:01 AM

The only good thing about Cena winning last year, was that it kept the #30 entrant as winner thing going. Now it doesn't seem so much a "cursed" number as a "blessed" one.

Back when he was getting a serious push, I was very hopeful that The Brian Kendrick would start off the match #1, ala his mentor, Shawn Michaels, and stay in the match for a long time, eliminating some folk here and there, and having some close calls, himself, before being tossed over. Now I think John Morrison getting that sort of run is more likely.

I hope they use #30 as a really big surprise entrant. Like John Cena entering last year, only actually surprising. Imagine if it were Stone Cold Steve Austin or Rob Van Dam, even if just for one appearance, coming out at #30.

The Franchise 12-19-2008 03:04 AM

I say Orton wins it.

D Mac 12-19-2008 03:08 AM

Yeah it's time for a heel to win.

Also, I hate that for the first time #30 won and the very next year, again. So if its going to be predictable, then Christian for Rumble Winner.

Batista will win and challenge Cena at WrestleMania and it will be super ghey.

Mr. Pierre 12-19-2008 04:05 AM

I'm gonna go with Triple H. He picks to face Jeff at Mania, and then the heel turn comes sometime in February about how "HHH was the one who attacked Hardy at Survivor Series", and we have Hardy vs. HHH at Mania, but with a definitive face vs. heel.

I guess if Trips can't be #1 face, he'll be #1 heel instead...poor Edge

Mr. Pierre 12-19-2008 04:06 AM

I hope I'm wrong btw

El Fangel 12-19-2008 04:09 AM

Triple H as a face is gold, but his niche is mega-heel

Mr. Pierre 12-19-2008 04:17 AM

He's very good at both roles, but I mean seriously..if he main events Mania again this year, than 9 out of the last 10 Manias, he would be involved with the World Title..and his only off-year, he sub-main evented with Taker.

He's great, but c'mon...

Mr. Pierre 12-19-2008 04:17 AM

Dave Youell 12-19-2008 04:19 AM

I'm thinking Orton right now

I see/pray for a Edge/Jeff Mania

But it's probably going to be a Jeff/Edge Rumble with HHH taking Jeff at Mania, but he doesn't need the Rumble win to warrent the spot.

Orton is simmering with Cena right now after last weeks Raw, I hope they don't blow the load at the rumble and give them a nice 3 month programme

:y:

Totally agree

If anything because of Pritchard letting the cat out of the bag, I think they should go for a HHH/Taker feud again. But i'm being a realist

RGWhat316 12-19-2008 06:29 AM

I've been counting it down for the last month since I got my ticket! Too bad its upper bowl, but I'll be at the Rumble regardless.

Impeccable 12-19-2008 07:23 AM

Possibly the only one I'd pay for

Can't wait

We should have a sweepstake (i.e. pick a number) and if that number wins the rumble, the winner gets to be a mod for a week or something.

Or even if somebody trustworthy set up a paypal and everyone who entered paid in £/$2 and paid out.

<font color=goldenrod>I love the Rumble, and I'm currently in the process of fantasy booking the Rumble PPV including the match itself, as I do every year.</font>

You know what would be great?

If HBK wins the Rumble, but JBL takes the victory and title shot for himself. (Don't worry though, he ends up losing the title shot to someone else)

PorkSoda 12-19-2008 11:43 AM

Lets count it down....

*Motions shooting an arrow*

How many days?

THIRTY HI-YA-YA-YA!

(guess the reference)

Evil Vito 12-19-2008 11:56 AM

<font color=goldenrod>I want to see HBK's music hit, the crowd marks out...but it's actually just The Haasbreak Kid.

Then the real HBK is the next entrant and SCM's Haas out.

In fact, I'm writing that into my fantasy booking.</font> :cool:

When I first read it, I thought it was a bit of a stretch, but I can actually see that happening.

Say if HBK wins the Rumble for JBL, he'll give HBK X amount of money (just something to get HBK out of his bankrupt state). HBK wins, gets the money.

Then the next week on RAW, Shane steps in and says on behalf of the Board of Directors, the Royal Rumble title shot has never and cannot be transferred from one participant to the next. So, like last year's No Way Out, they set up a RAW chamber and an SD chamber (in which JBL will lose his title shot by getting eliminated by HBK).

This branches into a JBL/Shane feud which can make for a sick street fight at Mania, and this leaves about a month and a half for them to give us a nice 6-7 week buildup for the epic WM25 match between Taker vs. HBK (which can be evolved from the simple "I ended Flair's career, now I wanna end the streak" challenge).

Mr. Pierre 12-19-2008 12:42 PM

Even though it would be logical to just give HBK the title shot since he won the rumble...

fuck it

Tazz Dan 12-19-2008 02:38 PM

Christian wont win if he's a suprirse entrant. Orton could be a goer though.

I don't know. I'll revisit this in 3 weeks time.

The Franchise 12-19-2008 03:20 PM

I am 100% certain Christian won't win. If I'm wrong I will eat my shoe. Well, no but come on, that ain't happenin.

Triple H/Hardy and Orton/Cena will be the two Mania title matches IMO.

RVDmark 12-19-2008 06:41 PM

Jeff will win and go on to challenge for the WHC in a unification match. Or maybe not.

Jeritron 12-19-2008 11:41 PM

Batista or HHH is winning this shit. So annoying to admit, but they're the only guesses that are based in anything other than pure wishful thinking.

The video doesn't do it any justice.

I was there live and the reaction was just wow.
