Well, I did a complete fantasy booking of the Rumble last year. And since I’m bored right about now, I’m gonna do another one.

Heat
Like every PPV, Heat will mainly just be promo videos hyping the PPV up until the Heat match. I really don’t know what the match should be. Eh, let’s make it a woman’s tag team match, just because there are no women or tag matches on the main card. The logical teams I guess would be Lita & Victoria against Trish & Molly, since they’re the only legit women wrestlers left anyways.

Then the PPV comes on the air. We’re welcomed by both broadcast teams, yadda yadda yadda.

Opening Match – Royal Rumble Qualifier: Tajiri vs. Muhammad Hassan

THE BUILD-UP: As Somebody’s Gotta Die suggested, this could be Hassan dissing America with Tajiri defending it despite not being from there. And to make it interesting the Rumble slot is put on the line.

THE MATCH: Back and forth action, with Hassan eventually getting the nod and the last slot. About 7 minutes or so.

THE AFTERMATH: Hassan gets another solid victory to add to his push (I’m assuming he’s going to mostly get wins), and gets to enter the Rumble. Tajiri likely goes back to jobbing.

WWE Cruiserweight Title: Funaki (C) vs. Ultimo Dragon

THE BUILD-UP: Funaki goes into the match without knowing who his opponent is going to be.

THE MATCH: Ultimo hopefully gets a good reception when it’s revealed that he’s the challenger. Anyways, it’s Funaki and Ultimo, so this match will likely rule. Hopefully at least a 10 minute match. Ultimo wins it and gets the belt, Funaki is a good sportsman afterwards.

THE AFTERMATH: Ultimo gets a solid lock on the belt, holding it until hopefully WrestleMania at least (where they might do another Cruiserweight Open thing). Ultimo could maybe be Funaki’s “mentor” of sorts. If that doesn’t happen, Funaki might go back to being a Velocity regular.

Heidenreich vs. The Undertaker

THE BUILD-UP: Well, this match has already been announced, so the build up is quite obvious. But in addition, I think in a backstage segment earlier on in the show, have Heidenreich and Gene Snitsky cross paths and make them interact in a weird manner (since they’re both supposed to be crazy). This is obvious foreshadowing.

THE MATCH: It’s Taker vs. Heidenreich, so chances are the match quality will suck. Heidenreich gets in some early offense before Taker starts to pummel him (which is really what the fans want to see). After about 10 minutes, Taker gets Heidenreich up for the Tombstone, but then out of nowhere Taker gets a Big Boot to the head by GENE SNITSKY. So Taker still doesn’t get the pinfall over Heidenreich, and gets stomped by Snitsky and Heidenreich afterwards whilst the announcers speculate why Snitsky and Heidenreich are helping each other, until the flames erupt and KANE comes out. Kane fights both of them until Taker regains himself and he and Kane clear the ring in a mark out moment, before they stare at each other, presumably shocked that they just helped each other to that degree.

THE AFTERMATH: As you could probably guess, this ultimately will lead to an interpromotional match at WrestleMania, as well as THE final blowoff match to both feuds. Heidenreich and Gene Snitsky vs. Kane and The Undertaker. Probably a horrible match in terms of quality, but the crowd would probably be hot the whole way through, and I’d LOVE to see the buildup that they do for that.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton vs. Triple H (C)

THE BUILD-UP: At NYR, the final 3 in the Elimination Chamber are HHH, Orton, and Batista (what a shock!) HHH attempts to control Batista, ordering him to Batista Bomb Orton. Batista looks sick of doing what HHH tells him to, but at the same time, he wants to attack Orton. Orton takes advantage of Batista’s trying to make up his mind by RKO’ing him and eliminating Batista. Orotn and HHH fight and then somehow HHH ends up taking it. Orton is granted #1 Contendership since he was the last one eliminated, and that’s how this match is set.

THE MATCH: Probably just like the other Orton/HHH clash at Unforgiven, but with only Flair interjecting himself before getting thrown out of the ring area. HHH finds some other way to cheat, and he ends up retaining. About 15-20 minutes.

THE AFTERMATH: HHH goes into WM as the defending champion. As for Orton, he’ll still be a perennial title contender, but not until after WrestleMania. Until such time, he can feud with someone else (no clue on who though, maybe a feud with Christian will add something different).

WWE Championship: Kurt Angle vs. The Big Show vs. John Bradshaw Layfield (C)

THE BUILD-UP: Well, this one was already confirmed on the last Smackdown. The build-up will probably just be as it was on Smackdown. Big Show and Angle are dead set on getting the belt off of JBL, who can’t defend it honestly against worthy competition to save his life.

THE MATCH: JBL gets his ass kicked from the get-go, but eventually he and Angle join forces to try and neutralize the massive Big Show. After about 20 minutes of action, Angle eventually locks up the victory via Angle Slam and then Angle Lock on JBL, which turns Angle from being a tweener to a full-fledged face.

THE AFTERMATH: Angle holds the belt until WrestleMania at least. I honestly don’t know if I’d have him drop it there or hold it longer. It really depends on who fights him. Big Show remains a top contender, possibly to continue feuding with JBL. JBL could use his “rematch clause” to get another crack at the gold at No Way Out, but Angle will still retain through that.

Royal Rumble Match coming in the next post...
