**ThruTheWire** · 01-29-2006, 11:02 AM

I wish I could watch it tonight.. looking like a pretty solid show.

**TerranRich** · 01-29-2006, 11:07 AM

I'm ordering this one! This is the first PPV I will ever have ordered. The last PPV I watched live was WrestleMania X-Seven, which my dad ordered.

But yeah this looks very solid and decent. Plus I love the actual Rumble itself, it's always been a favorite of mine.

**Loose Cannon** · 01-29-2006, 11:23 AM

My Predictions

Orton wins the Rumble
Edge defeats Cena
Angle defeats Henry
BoogeyMan and JBL have a shit match
Mickey turns full fledge heel
X-pac returns and wins the Crusierweight Title

**Danny Electric** · 01-29-2006, 11:41 AM

I'm ordering this fucker.

**loopydate** · 01-29-2006, 12:32 PM

Is Matt Cappotelli's leg fully healed yet? Wouldn't surprise me to see him answer Kash's challenge.

But I can't wait. Undercard is a little hit-or-miss (the cruiser match addition helps), but I loves me some Royal Rumble.

Who do you think will get those last three spots? I'm leaning toward a returning Charlie Haas, some random legend that doesn't have anything else to do tonight, and Shaq. Yes, Shaq.

**TerranRich** · 01-29-2006, 12:36 PM

I was thinking Haas might return tonight, but wouldn't it overshadow RVD's return?

Remember the '02 ('03?) Rumble where the two surprise entrants were Perfect and Goldust? I could see that happening again this year, with perhaps, like loopydate said, some random legend(s) that have nothing to do with the current storylines. Like Faarooq or Mick Foley or Jim Duggan or something.

**Loose Cannon** · 01-29-2006, 12:38 PM

**Loose Cannon** · 01-29-2006, 12:38 PM

**Loose Cannon** · 01-29-2006, 12:41 PM

FUCKING PUMPED

**Loose Cannon** · 01-29-2006, 12:42 PM

IT IS NOW TIME FOR THE ROYAL RUMBLE

marks out

**TerranRich** · 01-29-2006, 12:48 PM

You got it right, Loose. Mad props.

However, didn't Mark Copani say he was trying to get into Hollywood and wasn't interested in wrestling anyway?

**Loose Cannon** · 01-29-2006, 12:55 PM

Remember when Duggan won the first Rumble in 88?

OR when Ax and Smash went 1, 2 in 89?

or when Hogan elimiated Warrior in 90?

or when Martel went 50+ in 91?

or when Savage went jumped over the top in 92, but still came back in

or when Yoko tossed Savage out like a rag doll in 93

or when Bret and Luger went over together in 94

or when HBK skinned the cat and elimianted Bulldog, while his music played in 95

or when...yea 96 sucked

or when Austin got eliminated, but still came back in and won it in 97

or when everyone stopped what they were doing when Austin's music hit in 98

or when Vince shocked us all and won 99

or when Rock and Big Show both went over in 2000

or when Kane dominated 2001

or when HHH won and fucked up Mr Perfect's return in 02

or when Jericho eliminated HBK in a matter of minutes in 03

or when Foley came flying out and eliminated Orton in 04

or when Cena and Batista sqaured off in 05

THAT'S THE ROYAL RUMBLE

**TerranRich** · 01-29-2006, 01:02 PM

How did HHH fuck up Perfect's return?

**Loose Cannon** · 01-29-2006, 01:05 PM

by winning

**Blitz** · 01-29-2006, 01:06 PM

Ordering the show, despite the awful undercard.

**Corndad** · 01-29-2006, 01:07 PM

I wrote these "Predictions" in the Tipsters thread but will put them in here as well...

-Carlito and RVD will Eliminate each other Tonight in the Rumble
-HBK will be # 1 Furthering the Vince-HBK Saga
-Carlito will eliminate Masterpiece after appearing to work together with him again
-One of the Suprise entrants will either be the Honkey Tonk Man or Hacksaw Jim Duggan

Adding one:

-The Undertaker will be one of the suprises as well and Orton will elimnate him

**Loose Cannon** · 01-29-2006, 01:10 PM

it would make my night tonight if HBK tired skin the cat and Vince crawls out from under the ring and just pulls him down.

**Blitz** · 01-29-2006, 01:23 PM

I just wanna say that that poster with the McMahons is one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.

RP · 01-29-2006, 01:47 PM

ATTENTION

This is the first Pay Per View i've bought in 3 years. I may do some spotty play by play if i feel like it.

**Volchok** · 01-29-2006, 01:55 PM

I'll just do what i do after every Rumble and download just the rumble match after it.

**The Naitch** · 01-29-2006, 02:00 PM

thats it, I'm watching this fucker

**The Naitch** · 01-29-2006, 02:01 PM

because it's the Royal Rumble

01-29-2006, 02:02 PM

thats' the spirit

**Loose Cannon** · 01-29-2006, 02:15 PM

just ordered it

suppossed to get this Rumble Recall thing until 7, but I don't see anything

**Savio** · 01-29-2006, 02:16 PM

wasn't last years rumble the shortest rumble?

**Volchok** · 01-29-2006, 02:50 PM

After watching the 2002 Rumble again.. we need the Godfather back.

**Team Sheep** · 01-29-2006, 02:54 PM

Didn't they cut the space between entrances from 2 minutes to 90 seconds last year? I'm not sure, someone correct me.

**Y3J** · 01-29-2006, 03:17 PM

I think the 1st rumble was the shortest. but the gap last year was 90 secs.

**Eunos** · 01-29-2006, 03:33 PM

I predict right now that Simon Dean wont win the Royal Rumble.

**Azriel** · 01-29-2006, 03:50 PM

3 suprise entrants huh? Betcha Jericho returns tonight.

RP · 01-29-2006, 03:56 PM

I'm changing my Rumble Winner to Big SHow

**Evil Vito** · 01-29-2006, 04:10 PM

Wish I could order this shit

Ah well, all's good as long as I can download the Rumble match within a few days.

RANDOM PREDICTIONS:

-HBK will be #1 because of a rigged draw
-Randy Orton will get #2 and be quickly eliminated (to Vince's dismay and shock)
-Simon Dean gets #3 and it's basically a 3-on-1 with him and the Gymini, but HBK still pulls it out (pissing Vince off even further)
-Coach gets #4 and it becomes a 6-on-1 when the Spirit Squad joins in, but Kane gets #5 and he and Shawn clean house...Vince gets fed up and leaves Shawn to fight regularly

-Orlando Jordan will be the 15th entrant, just so Tazz can say the line of the night "with a halfway draw this kid can go either way" to hype his upcoming gimmick

-One of the Mexicools will get to be the token sympathy face, as Chris Masters will attack him on the ay out after Masters gets eliminated

-Booker T. will get #30 but Randy Orton will cash in his favor and take his spot, making him now the most rested guy out there

-HBK will last a long time, but will be eliminated in some sort of Vince-screwjob way with help from RVD

-Orton ultimately wins the match, last eliminating Mysterio

-----

And I concur with loopy, the 3 mystery guys will be Haas, Duggan, and Shaq

I get bored way too easily

**Savio** · 01-29-2006, 04:20 PM

i hope Shaq comes out to one of his rap songs.

**Loose Cannon** · 01-29-2006, 04:21 PM

lol

**The Naitch** · 01-29-2006, 04:23 PM

Prediction: Shaq eliminates Carlito from the Royal Rumble

**Disturbed316** · 01-29-2006, 04:23 PM

Doubt I'll watch this live, might get the repeat at a more human hour.

**Savio** · 01-29-2006, 04:29 PM

Yo Naitch whats the word on Triple Platnuim?

**Avenger** · 01-29-2006, 04:42 PM
