Thanks to everyone who likes the TNA thing. Sorry, HKUK, I forgot about the one-per-poster rule.

Put Bulldog in the 7th spot...

[Evil Vito]

I did the first 3 matches of the Raw exclusive Armageddon PPV since I was bored, it's based off of the Survivor Series PPV:

Rhyno vs. Tajiri
This match is stemming from Rhyno not helping Tajiri at Survivor Series (turning Rhyno heel in the process). Rhyno totally dominated proceedings from the get-go, eventually pinning Tajiri after a hard spinebuster slam.


WWE Women’s Title: Trish Stratus vs. Victoria (C)
This is a re-match from Survivor Series, only without the bra & panties stipulation. Once again, we saw another back-and-forth contest with both women kicking out of each other’s specials. Victoria looked to have it won after a second Widow’s peak, but Trish kicked Victoria away when she tried to pin. Trish hit a suplex with a bridge out of nowhere and picked up the pinfall, winning back the title that she lost just a month ago.


Evolution (Triple H and Batista) vs. Chris Benoit and Shawn Michaels
After Survivor Series, everybody thought Evolution was done. But in actuality, it was far from down. Now under the leadership of Ric Flair, Evolution have been on a roll, and two of their main oppositions have been Benoit and HBK. Benoit and HBK started off by isolating Batista until HHH got tagged in. HHH dominated on HBK until he got the hot tag with Benoit. HHH instantly rushed to the other corner and tagged in Batista. But it wasn’t a smart move as Benoit locked him in the Crossface in mid ring. Batista tapped, giving Michaels and Benoit the victory.


I've got more matches to do, they are as follows:

Single Elimination Gauntlet for #1 Contendership to IC Title at the Royal Rumble: Steven Richards, Test, Val Venis, Rodney Mack, Shelton Benjamin, and Matt Hardy

Tag Titles: William Regal and Eugene vs. The Hurricane and Rosey (C)

Intercontinental Title Ladder Match: Christian vs. Edge vs. Chris Jericho vs. Kane (C)

World Heavyweight Title: Randy Orton vs. Ric Flair (C)

I'll do those matches when I'm not so busy.

[Shaggy]

Good job Loopy. You sorta like your own GM now.

[Evil Vito]

I had the time to do the #1 IC Title Contender Gauntlet for Armageddon:

Single Elimination Gauntlet – Winner Gets An Intercontinental Title shot at the Royal Rumble: Shelton Benjamin vs. Matt Hardy vs. Test vs. Val Venis vs. vs. Rodney Mack vs. Steven Richards

Match One: Steven Richards vs. Val Venis
Because of the random draw, these two men had the highest mountain to climb: as they’d have to win 5 back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back matches to become #1 Contender. Stevie totally destroys Val in the early goings. However, Val manages to kick out of the Stevie-T and begin the token face comeback. Val decimates Stevie to the point where Val wins after a measly Russian Leg Sweep to advance to Match Two.

Match Two: Val Venis vs. Shelton Benjamin
Benjamin came out after drawing the #3 slot, hoping to capitalize on the winded Venis. Oddly, it was not to be. Benjamin got in only about half the offense that Val got in, leading up to Val getting the win after another measly move, this time a plain DDT.

Match Three: Val Venis vs. Test
Val was very much exhausted after two matches, and the look on his face when Test came out as #4 was priceless. Test completely demolished Val from the get-go with his power moves. Val however fired back with offense. It got to the point where both men were equally injured and both had specials. Test wasted his by failing to connect with the Big Boot. Val took the opportunity to knock Test down, drag him to the ropes, and deliver the Money Shot to get yet another win and advance to Match Four.

Match Four: Val Venis vs. Rodney Mack
There was almost nothing left of Val Venis at this point, and Rodney Mack coming out at #5 sure didn’t help matters. Val and Rodney battled evenly the entire match, to the point where both had specials. Val showed his determination by not even submitting to the Black Out. They fought some more before Val was able to score the Money Shot and move to an IMPRESSIVE 4 straight, leaving just one more match keeping him from an Intercontinental Title shot at the Rumble.

Final Match: Val Venis vs. Matt Hardy
Val is nearly dead on his feet before Matt Hardy even enters. Once he does (along with a Matt Fact advertising the fact that he scored 1330 on his SATs), the match gets underway. We see another even match (which is surprising considering Val’s exhausted-ness). Matt Hardy eventually hits a flashback on Val from out of nowhere, busting Val’s head wide open. That is enough for Hardy to pick up the victory and earn a title shot at Royal Rumble. Although, after that performance, don’t be surprised to see Venis become a perennial contender for ANY title.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

thats a nice set of matchs Vito, can't wait for your next one if do some more

[Azriel]

Wow, Val lasted for a while. Good stuff Vito and loopy.

[Evil Vito]

WWE World Tag Team Titles: William Regal and Eugene vs. The Hurricane and Rosey (C)
Both teams respect each other, but when gold is on the line, you gotta do what you gotta do to win it. The match started with domination from Eugene and Regal, but as the match went on, things got more even. Everyone hit their finishing moves at different points throughout the match, but in the end it was Eugene and Regal that prevailed when Eugene made Hurricane tap out to the Crossface. Eugene and William Regal are the new World Tag Team Champions. Hurricane and Rosey congratulated them after the match.


WWE Intercontinental Title – TLC Match: Chris Jericho vs. Christian vs. Edge vs. Kane (C)
This match was certainly shorter than previously anticipated. Everyone brawls and high spots occur within the short time period. However, in a shocking turn of events, Christian manages to pull the title down and get the victory in less than five minutes. Therefore it’s set that Christian will be defending the Intercontinental Title against Matt Hardy at the Royal Rumble.


WWE World Heavyweight Title – Randy Orton vs. Ric Flair (C)
After shockingly winning the World Heavyweight Title for the 17th time at Survivor Series, Ric Flair had it all going for him. Not only did he have the gold, but he took over the Evolution stable. Unfortunately for him, the whole time he had Randy Orton coming down his throat. Orton was granted this re-match because of the re-match clause in his contract.

Both guys start out very evenly, constantly reversing each other’s punches. This continued until Flair managed to take the advantage and hit a back body drop. Flair continued to work over Orton with a side headlock and some more punches until Orton started to fire back with some right hands of his own. Flair tries the first cover of the match but Orton kicks out easily at 1. The match continues with this back and forth pace for a very long time until both guys are really winded. Eventually Flair managed to lock on the Figure 4 Leg Lock. Orton didn’t tap, but the pain was so strong that it kept him down for Flair to pick up the pinfall victory and retain the World Heavyweight Title.

[Shaggy]

WOOOOO Thats right...Nature Boy is Still the Champ

[Champion of Europa]

I've figured out that if I wait for me to make the CAWs, I'll never get around to doing this. I've only made one CAW thus far, and others will make appearances later.

Here is the card for my first PPV, Wrestlemania.

Cruiserweight Title Match: Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri vs. Jonathan Coachman vs. Jeff Hardy

IC Title 8 Man Gauntlet: Rhyno vs. Edge

Randy Orton vs. Batista

Rob Van Dam vs. Kane

Chris Jericho vs. Goldberg

Tag Team Title Battle Royale: Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy, Jonathan Coachman, Tajiri, Rhyno, Matt Hardy, The Rock, Test, Kane, Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Edge, Christian, Scott Steiner, Kurt Angle, Triple H, Rikishi, Sean O'Haire, Ric Flair, Batista, Old School Undertaker, Jimmy Snuka, Roddy Piper, The Big Show, Rob Van Dam, Bubba Ray Dudley, Devon Dudley, Spike Dudley, Booker T, John Cena.

The two remaining competitors will be the Tag Team Champions.

World Heavyweight Title Number 1 Contenders Match. The winner will face the Champion at Backlash: Edge vs. Christian vs. Chris Jericho vs. Batista

Women's Title Cage Match: Victoria vs. Trish Stratus

World Heavyweight Title Battle Royale: Brock Lesnar, Jeff Hardy, Jonathan Coachman, Tajiri, Rhyno, Matt Hardy, The Rock, Test, Kane, Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Edge, Christian, Scott Steiner, Kurt Angle, Triple H, Rikishi, Sean O'Haire, Ric Flair, Batista, Old School Undertaker, Goldberg, Roddy Piper, The Big Show, Rob Van Dam, Bubba Ray Dudley, Devon Dudley, Chris Jericho, Booker T, John Cena.

The remaining 6 competitors will compete in an Elimination Chamber match to determine the World Heavyweight Champion.

[Evil Vito]

That's a pretty good card CoE, although I should point out that you have Edge in two IC Title Gauntlet Matches, you should put Goldberg or somebody in there.

Also, put Chris Jericho in the World Heavyweight Title Battle Royal.

[Evil Vito]

I've got everything planned out for the Royal Rumble, but don't expect it for a while as I'm going to be really busy during the weekend and possibly all week.

A major storyline to kick off the new year is that Vince McMahon appointed Kevin Busch as the new GM of SmackDown! and announced that the GMs of both shows can try to steal away talent from the other brand.

RAW BRAND MATCHES

WWE Intercontinental Title: Matt Hardy vs. Christian (C)
I'm sure you all know the backdrop behind this one. Hardy won the #1 Contender's Gauntlet and Christian won the belt. They've feuded since then. Simple enough.

WWE World Heavyweight Title - Cage Match: Randy Orton vs. Ric Flair (C)
The hatred between these two men has finally reached a boiling point - the point where they can no longer face each other in the same ring without it ending in a double countout. So Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff found the solution: a cage match where only one man can escape. And that one man will end up as the World Heavyweight Champion. Orton needs to be at the top of his game for this match, because Ric Flair himself said that if he doesn't win this one, it could be the last time he gets a chance at the gold for a LONG time.

SMACKDOWN BRAND MATCHES

Royal Rumble Qualifying Match: Big Show vs. The Undertaker
This match should be a battle for the ages as the two will face each other to ultimately decide who the best big man on Smackdown is. Sure, while one could argue that Mordecai is better than both of them, he already secured a slot in the night's main event. This is the match that will start off the show, and the winner will receive a slot in the Royal Rumble Match.

WWE Cruiserweight Title: Chavo Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio (C)
This match should definately be a high octane bout with high flying moves left and right as two of the finest lucha libre wrestlers in the world will go head-to-head with the Cruiserweight Title on the line. It should definately be one to keep your eyes on.

WWE Championship: Rob Van Dam vs. JBL (C)
JBL finds Rob Van Dam to be a disgrace to World Wrestling Entertainment and all of America because of the fact that he normally shows up majorly stoned. This doesn't change the fact that he is a tremendous competitor, however, and as a result RVD has been gunning after JBL and his belt for the better part of a month and a half. It should be a great contest.

ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH PARTICIPANT LIST COMING UP NEXT

[loopydate]

The first edition of Impact is up on my site. These damned storylines are writing themselves!

[Evil Vito]

THE 2005 ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH
30 Men. 1 Prize. Highly regarded as the most exciting match in wrestling, the Royal Rumble is an every-man-for-himself contest where the winner gets to face the World Champion of his brand at WrestleMania 21 in the main event. Here is a list of the participants involved.

Batista: Batista has only been in one Royal Rumble before, and in it he lasted to the Final 4. We'll see if this big and tough Evolution member can last the whole way through this time or if he'll fall by the wayside like 28 others will.

Booker T: The current reigning United States Champion is looking to earn a shot at the WWE Title at WrestleMania so he can become a dual champion. He's certainly bounced back when it comes to Rumble appearances. He went from being eliminated in 30 seconds in 2002 (despite drawing #30) to having decent outings in 2003 and 2004. Booker T certainly has what it takes to pull out a victory, we'll just see if he actually does.

Bubba Ray Dudley: Despite being a veteran of the mat wars, Bubba could be at a tremendous disadvantage. Despite being in the WWE since late 1999, Bubba, along with his brother D-Von, have yet to compete in a Royal Rumble match. One has to wonder if the inexperience will show for one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions.

Charlie Haas: Haas is a tremendous athlete, and that will help him in his trek to win the Rumble. He lasted past the #30 last year, and almost did in 2003. Much like Chris Jericho, he has gotten closer to winning every year, and this could be the year he takes it.

Chris Benoit: The Rabid Wolverine Chris Benoit made his first ever appearance in a Royal Rumble last year, and ended up winning it after lasting through all the way from #1. This year, not being forced into #1, Chris Benoit looks to be a heavy favorite. If he pulls out the victory, he will become only the 4th man in history to win at least 2 Rumbles (joining Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, and Stone Cold Steve Austin). Can Benoit pull it out? We'll just have to wait and see.

Chris Jericho: The highlight of the night, the Ayatollah of Rock'n'Rolla, Chris Jericho is one of the best that Raw has to offer. He's plugged himself as a favorite on his weekly interview segment, the Highlite Reel, and with good reason. In Jericho's Royal Rumble appearance last year, he ended up lasting until the final 4 before being eliminated by the Big Show. He's gotten closer and closer to victory in every Rumble he's entered, and 2005 may be his year.

D-Von Dudley: See Bubba Ray Dudley. All the same applies to D-Von.

Eddie Guerrero: There is nothing that Eddie would love more than to get another shot at the WWE Title, and the window is certainly open for that possibility should he win the Rumble. He's one of the most gifted athletes in the company, and could very well walk away with the victory when it's all said and done.

Edge: You think you know him, huh? Well if you don't think he's got a chance at winning this Rumble, then you clearly don't really know him at all. Edge has made 3 apperances in the Royal Rumble match, so he knows what to expect going in, and he definately has the chance to come out victorious in the 2005 January classic.

Eugene: Eugene is a special one indeed. In less than a year in the WWE, Eugene was featured in a main event caliber feud with Triple H and currently holds the World Tag Team Titles with his partner and mentor, William Regal. We'll see if he's got what it takes to come out on top in his Royal Rumble debut.

John Cena: The hip-hopping John Cena had a tremendous showing the past two years, and is looking to prove the phrase "third time's the charm". He may not be the biggest, but he is strong and knows how to stay on the mat throughout a match. He is undoubtedly the future of this business, and for all we know, with a Rumble victory here, the future could be now.

Kane: Kane is certainly one of the more experienced men in this match when it comes to Royal Rumbles, as he's been every Rumble since 1999. He holds the record for most eliminations in a single Rumble (11 in 2001) and he's hoping to make this his year. It would be wise to not get in Kane's way during this match.

Kurt Angle: The one thing that the former Olympic Gold Medalist has yet to accomplish in his WWE career is to win the Royal Rumble Match. He was thwarted in his previous two attempts in 2002 and 2004, lasting to at least the Final 3 on both occassions. Angle's in the best shape of his life, and should be considered a favorite to win it.

Luther Reigns: With the exception of Kurt Angle, everybody will more than likely be gunning for Luther right from the get-go. He's brutally strong and in great shape, both qualities that are very helpful when it comes to winning Royal Rumbles. The only thing stopping him is the lack of experience. Not only has he been in the company for less than a year, but he's only 1 of 4 men participating in the Rumble for the first time.

Mordecai: ...Another such man would be Mordecai. This man has been on a rage since his debut in mid-2004, including nearly capturing the WWE Title at Survivor Series. He has to be considered a heavy favorite to win, as he looks to toss 29 "sinners" over the top to the floor in his quest for the WWE Championship.

Rene Dupree: At the very young age of 21, Dupree will already be making his second Royal Rumble appearance. He's got the talent to win this thing, he just has to make sure to keep his ego in check. During last year's Rumble, Dupree came in and got a great elimination on Matt Hardy, but then proceeded to do the French Tickler and it caused his elimination as Rikishi kicked him over the top. If Dupree can just focus on the task at hand, he could easily win.

Rhyno: The man beast Rhyno is looking to Gore the living hell out of 29 other men, and don't be surprised if he manages to do it. Rhyno could be considered one of the tougher men that's going to be in this Rumble, so don't count him out of it at any time.

Rico: Rico is certainly a bizarre one. But that may not necessarily be a bad thing. Rico could use his sometimes disturbing antics to spook his way to a victory. Some wrestlers may be afraid to make contact with Rico for fear that they will be "violated" and Rico could take the chance to eliminate them from the match.

Rosey: Rosey in the main event of WresleMania may seem hard to fathom, but when you take a look at the size of the guy, that vision may not be that hard to become a reality. Keep in mind, in order for him to be eliminated, somene's actually gonna have to lift his near 400 lb. frame over the top rope and to the floor. We'll see if it can be done or if Rosey will reign supreme.

Shawn Michaels: He's already won 2 of these throughout his illustrious career, and doubtless he'll be hoping to make it 3. Whether or not he can pull it off is anybody's guess, but if he does, the current World Heavyweight Champion should be looking out for some Sweet Chin Music in his near future. Should Michaels win, he'll become the second man in history (along with Stone Cold Steve Austin) to win 3 Royal Rumbles.

Shelton Benjamin: Ain't no stoppin' him, noooooooooooo! Though he had a very poor performance in last year's Rumble, Shelton may get better luck this year. He's one of the greatest natural athletes on Raw and in World Wrestling Entertainment, and we'll see if this match will truly be all about the Benjamins.

Tajiri: Tajiri likes to kick - and kick HARD. That's what the other 29 men need to look out for. If Tajiri gets you with his Buzzsaw kick - you could easily be knocked out and easy prey for getting thrown over the top. The one thing Tajiri needs to look out for is he needs to try and resist going for the Tarantula - as more often than not it leads to him being eliminated.

The Hurricane: Hurricane is certainly one of the smaller men in this match-up, but if he's as great a super hero as he claims to be, we could see one of the greatest upsets in wrestling history come Rumble time. Also, it doesn't hurt that his near 400 lb. sidekick Rosey will also be in the contest.

Triple H: The Cerebral Assasin already has multiple World Heavyweight Titles and one Royal Rumble victory under his belt, and he's hoping to add on to that list of accomplishments here. We'll see if he really is that damn good.

Ultimo Dragon: Many consider him a longshot because of his size, but they must neglect to remember that at one time, Ultimo held 10 titles at once. Being able to defend 10 titles at the same time on a consistent basis shows that he's got the stamina to outlast everybody else. Who knows? He could win it.

Val Venis: At first glance, Val Venis may seem to be a major underdog. However, anyone who saw his amazing performance during the Armageddon gauntlet knows that he's certainly got what it takes to win and move on to the main event of WrestleMania.

William Regal: A seasoned and crafty veteran and current World Tag Team Champion, William Regal knows how to navigate his way around the squared circle and how to keep away from the ropes. Ironically, this will only be Regal's 2nd appearance in a Royal Rumble, and he's looking to avoid the mistakes that he may have made in his first one, the 2001 Rumble.

The winner of The Undertaker/Big Show match will also be involved.

Also, on the Smackdown side, GM Kevin Busch has apparently signed a former Raw competitor in the Free Agent market, and has also stolen a Raw worker away and has convinced him to return to being a full-time worker. Who these two are are anybody's guess, but we do know that they will both be mystery entrants in the Royal Rumble Match.

[loopydate]

Good-looking cards, CoE and Vito.

I look forward to seeing what happens.

[Champion of Europa]

Yeah, I had better change that stuff.

[Evil Vito]

Added the Smackdown participants to the Royal Rumble participants list.

[Evil Vito]

Turns out I had time to do the Rumble. I even wrote up the Rumble match for you guys - be prepared for some surprises - damn I'm still shocked.

Royal Rumble Qualifying Match – Big Show vs. The Undertaker
What better way to open the show the show than with two big Smackdown superstars battling it out to see who will get a slot in the main event and who will fall by the wayside. Big Show got the first shot in, but his momentum didn’t last long before Undertaker started kicking his ass. Big Show eventually regained the advantage, but Undertaker eerily sat up after every move. The ref got bumped, and while he was down a freakishly large, tan, blond, curly-haired, and overly tattooed (had large tattoos on his back, chest, and face) came in from the crowd and delivered a devastating maneuver to Undertaker before fleeing. Big Show looked shocked, but took advantage and hit the Final Cut to put a dot on the exclamation point and got the victory and the last available slot in the Rumble. Despite being winded, he still has to be considered a favorite because of his size.


WWE Cruiserweight Title: Chavo Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio (C)
As expected, this match was so quick that if you blinked you likely missed something. Chavo tried to slow Rey down by using his technical awareness, and to some degree it worked unless Rey managed to get out off it with his quickness. Towards the end, both men looked like they could pull off their specials at any given moment. It was Rey that prevailed when he hit the 6-19 and then the West Coast Pop out of nowhere to retain his Cruiserweight Title.


WWE Intercontinental Title: Matt Hardy vs. Christian (C)
Matt Fact: Matt hates cold weather.

It was all Christian from the get-go, but eventually Hardy managed to even things up a bit. Christian was certainly surprised when Matt mustered up the energy to kick out of the Unprettier. Christian then had to resort to using even dirty trick in the book, including kicking Matt square in the balls when the ref wasn’t looking. Christian almost won the match with that, but Matt kicked out and hit a Twist of Fate out of NOWHERE to score the win and the Intercontinental Title.


WWE Championship: Rob Van Dam vs. JBL (C)
Both men try to get the best of each other in the early going, JBL by using his strength and RVD by using his fancy footwork to keep JBL grounded. The battle goes on for quite awhile with no one getting a decisive advantage. At the end, JBL just barely misses a Clothesline From Hell, and RVD took advantage by whipping JBL into the turnbuckle. RVD knocked JBL onto the mat and scaled the turnbuckle. He nailed JBL with the 5-Star Frog Splash. 3 seconds later and Rob Van Dam was declared the new World Wrestling Entertainment Champion!


WWE World Heavyweight Title – Cage Match: Randy Orton vs. Ric Flair (C)
General Manager Eric Bischoff has stated that this will be Orton’s LAST chance at getting the championship back in a long, LONG time should he fail to win it here. Orton’s chances weren’t looking particularly good because earlier in the show on a backstage segment Flair’s Evolution buddies Batista and Triple H assaulted Orton.

The second the bell rang, Flair was trying to get out of the cage. Orton would have none of that, of course. From there Orton began to make Flair pay for the earlier planned assault, by hitting Flair with moves like his special backbreaker. Flair started hitting some offense of his own until both men had specials. Flair locked Orton in the Figure Four Leglock late in the match. Since the only way to win was to escape the cage, Orton obviously didn’t tap out, but he was still weakened after Flair released the hold, enough so that Flair managed to climb out to retain the World Heavyweight Title.

[Evil Vito]

The 2005 Royal Rumble Match

Howard Finkel explains the rules to the crowd, before stating that it was time to find out who drew number 1……

“Medal” starts up, signaling the entrance of Smackdown’s Olympic Gold Medalist and one of the favorites to win it all, Kurt Angle. Kurt obviously is a bit pissed because of his order of entry, but he’s set nevertheless.

FINK: And now, let’s find out who drew #2……

Some very familiar music starts up, and out from behind the curtain comes one of the more popular faces on Raw and one half of the World Tag Team Champions, Eugene. Eugene looks overly excited to be entry #2, but hey, he’s special like that. He gets in the ring and then the match begins.

Eugene and Angle go at it hard, neither man getting the decisive advantage in the early goings, until the end of the interval when Eugene managed to hit Angle with the Retardoplex. The timer ticks down.

“BREAK THE WALLS DOOOOOOWN!!!!!!!!”

Another possible favorite, Chris Jericho, gets entry #3. Jericho gets in the ring and he and Eugene take it to Angle to the delight of the crowd. Jericho beats down Angle in one corner as Eugene waves to the crowd as the timer once again ticks down.

“STAND BACK, THERE’S A HURRICANE COMIN’ THROUGH!!!!!”

Major underdog The Hurricane gets #4. He gets in the ring and he and Eugene immediately charge to the corner where Jericho and Angle are located, and shockingly, Jericho manages to dump Angle out for the surprise first elimination.

Elimination #1: Kurt Angle by Chris Jericho (1)

Jericho goes after Eugene while Hurricane bides his time, getting in some shots where needed. The timer ticks down for the firth entry.

“AIN’T NO STOPPIN’ ME, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Shelton Benjamin comes out as #5, as well as being the 4th Raw entry in a row. As he runs down to the ring, a near miracle occurs as The Hurricane eliminates CHRIS JERICHO, to the dismay of the crowd.

Elimination #2: Chris Jericho by The Hurricane (1)

The Hurricane fights Eugene, this time letting Shelton be the one biding his time. Until the end of the interval where Shelton gets involved and starts to attack Eugene as well. The timer ticks down for #6.

Some bodies definitely are gonna roll, as Mordecai from Smackdown is #6. Shelton gets to fighting The Hurricane, leaving Eugene the misfortune of having to face off with Mordecai. Shelton plants Hurricane with a super kick on one side of the ring whilst Mordecai hits Eugene with a Spiral Bomb on the other. The timer starts up again for #7.

“GET UP GET UP GET UUUUUPPPPPP”

“Bombshell” starts up and the explosions go off for the entry of one half of the WWE Tag team Champions, Bubba Ray Dudley as #7. Shelton and Hurricane fight in one corner as Bubba tries to go after Eugene. Eugene gets the best of him, however, and ends up eliminating Bubba as the timer went down.

Elimination #3: Bubba Ray Dudley by Eugene (1)

“EVOLUTION”

#8 is none other than “The Game” Triple H. Eugene, Shelton, and Mordecai all fight amongst each other as Shelton goes after HHH right off the bat and gets a Pedigree for his troubles. Eugene manages to dump Hurricane out of the match as the timer is ticking.

Elimination #4: The Hurricane by Eugene (2)

“OHHHHH, OHHHH, SHAWN!”

“The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels struts down to the ring at #9 to a massive ovation from the crowd. Mordecai demolishes Eugene (including giving him another Spiral Bomb) and Shelton/HHH continue to do battle, so Shawn just plays it cool and relaxes in the corner for most of the interval until #10 is ready to enter.

“WEEEEELLLLLLLL, WELL IT’S THE BIG SHOW!”

#10 is the largest man in the match-up and one of the clear-cut favorites, The Big Show. He gets in the ring and a massive free-for-all ensues with everybody fighting whoever they can get their hands on. Michaels finally comes out of the corner and tries to attack a distracted Shelton Benjamin, only for Shelton to turn around and surprisingly eliminate him!

Elimination #5: Shawn Michaels by Shelton Benjamin (1)

Triple H and Shelton Benjamin decide to team up and double-team the massive Big Show. Meanwhile, Mordecai tries to hit another high impact move on Eugene only for Eugene to battle back and eventually eliminate him!

Elimination #6: Mordecai by Eugene (3)

Eugene runs over to HHH and knees him square in the head, leaving Shelton all alone and easy prey for Big Show to eliminate him.

Elimination #7: Shelton Benjamin by The Big Show (1)

The Rhino noise echoes throughout the arena, and Rhyno rushes out as #11. Rhyno gets into the ring and immediately tries to Gore Eugene, but Eugene sidesteps and then takes control. Triple H tries to single handedly eliminate The Big Show, but to no avail.

The fire explodes on the stage, which means only one thing: Kane is on his way to the ring as #12. He gets to the ring and shows his courage by going after the biggest man in the ring, The Big Show. Eugene, Triple H, and Rhyno all take turns hitting one another, as Kane shows his brute strength by delivering a MAJOR Chokeslam to the Big Show!

“HELLO LADIES!”

Dark-horse candidate Val Venis comes out at #13, and of course J.R. speculates on whether or not that will be a lucky number for him. Triple H hits a Pedigree on Rhyno, and Eugene manages to lock the monster Kane in a Crossface. This leaves Val to the Big Show, which is definitely not a good thing for him as Show chucks him out with ease, proving the #13 to be unlucky.

Elimination #8: Val Venis by The Big Show (2)

Eugene and Kane continue to do battle (with Eugene surprisingly doing better) as Rhyno gets to hit a Piledriver on Triple H. Unfortunately for him, Big Show needed another victim and so Rhyno was eliminated.

Elimination #9: Rhyno by The Big Show (3)

Kurt Angle’s assistant Luther Reigns gets #14. Surprisingly, he lasts an even shorter amount of time than Val Venis. He walked right into the hands of Kane and Kane proceeded to eliminate him with one throat thrust.

Elimination #10: Luther Reigns by Kane (1)

Ultimo Dragon gets #15, and someone in the front row that looks suspiciously like Funky Fly can be seen marking out. As he’s running to the ring, Big Show claims another victim by eliminating Triple H.

Elimination #11: Triple H by The Big Show (4)

Eugene and Kane go at it, and Ultimo goes right after the Big Show….AND MANAGES TO TAKE HIM OFF HIS FEET. Some unknown white fluid can be seen spewing into the sky from the front row.

“IF YA SMEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

Those words get the crowd ON THEIR FEET. And sure enough, THE ROCK is #16, apparently as one of the mystery entrants that was stolen from Raw and becoming a full-time guy again. He goes after anyone he can get his hands on, until eventually we see Eugene get eliminated after a strong showing. He was eliminated by Ultimo Dragon (fans begin pulling out their umbrellas).

Elimination #12: Eugene by Ultimo Dragon (1)

Some familiar music hits up, and GOLDUST comes out as #17, apparently as the other mystery entrant signed by Smackdown. Goldust is BACK. Goldust amazingly hits a Curtain Call on Big Show, whilst Ultimo gives the Ultimo DDT to The Rock.

Charlie Haas is #18, and he immediately chucks Ultimo Dragon (security eject a certain someone who tries to rush the ring in a rage).

Elimination #13: Ultimo Dragon by Charlie Haas (1)

Goldust delivers the Shattered Dreams to Big Show on one end of the ring. On the other, The Rock cleans house, first eliminating Kane and then seconds later Charlie Haas.

Elimination #14: Kane by The Rock (1)

Elimination #15: Charlie Haas by The Rock (2)

William Regal, the other World Tag Team Champion, gets #19. He goes after Goldust while The Rock lays the smackdown on Big Show.

“GET UP GET UP GET UUUUUPPPPPP”

Once again, “Bombshell” plays and the explosions occur for the other half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, D-Von Dudley at #20. He gets his shots in wherever he can as Regal eliminates Goldust.

Elimination #16: Goldust by William Regal (1)

“STAND BACK, THERE’S A HURRICANE COMIN’ THROUGH!!!!!”

The big Super Hero In Training Rosey gets #21. Everybody goes after one another throughout the interval.

“YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME?”

Edge gets #22 to a decent reaction from the crowd. He surprisingly doesn’t make as much of an impact as many people would’ve thought, as he is promptly eliminated by The Rock.

Elimination #17: Edge by The Rock (3)

The remaining 5 men in the ring continue fighting until…

“EVOLUTION”

The other Evolution member in the match, Batista, heads down to the ring as entrant #23. Much like the interval before, he doesn’t get to do much, as he is eliminated almost instantly, this time by William Regal.

Elimination #18: Batista by William Regal (2)

Everyone keeps fighting. Rosey hits his spinning special on D-Von. Everyone then decides to team up on the Big Show and Regal is the one to finally put him out.

Elimination #19: The Big Show by William Regal (3)

Last year’s winner, Chris Benoit, comes out as #24 to a tremendous ovation. He rushes to the ring as Regal makes yet another HUGE elimination, by eliminating the Great One himself, The Rock.

Elimination #20: The Rock by William Regal (4)

D-Von, Benoit, and Regal all work together to get Rosey out, and D-Von is the one that finally gets him out.

Elimination #21: Rosey by D-Von Dudley (1)

The two technicians, Benoit and Regal, work on D-Von and Regal manages to get him out.

Elimination #22: D-Von Dudley by William Regal (5)

“The Japanese Buzzsaw” Tajiri enters as #25. Regal and Benoit get back to teaming up, as they try to prevent Tajiri from doing any damaging kicks the whole interval.

“SO, YOU THINK YOU’RE UNTOUCHABLE?”

The Dr. of Thuganomics, John Cena, is #26. He goes after Regal while Benoit continues to work over Tajiri.

“CAN YOU DIG IT, SUCKA?”

The United States Champion Booker T rushes out at #27 as one of his old rivals John Cena is eliminated by Regal on the way to the ring.

Elimination #23: John Cena by William Regal (6)

Booker gets into the ring and instantly tosses Regal over the ropes to the apron before elbowing him out after an excellent performance by Regal.

Elimination #24: William Regal by Booker T (1)

The 21-year-old Rene Dupree dances his way to the ring at #28. Dupree works over Booker as Benoit and Tajiri continue to try and eliminate each other.

“YOOOOOOU LOOOOOOK SOOOOOOO – GOOD TO ME!”

Rico gets a GREAT draw with #29. Rico gets in and kicks Booker square in the head to the crowd’s pleasure. Benoit manages to shove Tajiri over the top and to the floor.

Elimination #25: Tajiri by Chris Benoit (1)

Dupree, Benoit, Booker, and Rico continue to do battle as the timer ticks down to the final entry, and who else could it be?…..

“VIVA LA RAZA!!!!”

Eddie Guerrero sprints to the ring at #30 to a MASSIVE ovation. So that means out final suspects are Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Booker T, Rene Dupree, and Rico.

It’s pandemonium in the ring, with everyone hitting moves on each other, particularly Rico, who hits everyone with kicks, including one that sends Eddie Guerrero out of the match – what a HUGE shocker.

Elimination #26: Eddie Guerrero by Rico (1)

Down to the Final 4. Rico almost instantly works his magic again, by eliminating Chris Benoit in the same fashion.

Elimination #27: Chris Benoit by Rico (2)

Final 3. Booker T tosses Rene Dupree out and over.

Elimination #28: Rene Dupree by Booker T (1)

THE FINAL 2

Booker punches Rico and tries to toss him over, but Rico hangs on. Booker tries to whip Rico into the ropes, but Rico reverses and chases after him, Booker bounces off of the ropes and Rico kicks – SENDING BOOKER OVER THE TOP

RICO WINS THE 2005 ROYAL RUMBLE AND GETS TO HEADLINE WRESTLEMANIA 21

[Azriel]

Holy Shyt! Rico wins the Royal Rumble?! RVD wins the WWE title! Ric Flair is still champion?! That's good stuff right there.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

those were really entertaining, I enjoyed them

[loopydate]

I need a towel...

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

loopy, nice impact, it was very good

[loopydate]

Thank you.

I've simmed the matches for the next one, and have started writing up the show. It will probably be up mid-week.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

great, can't wait to see it

[El Santo]

Nice CAWs Loopy. In addition to Abyss, I like your Elix Skipper.

If you have room, I think you should try to make Shark Boy and D-Ray 3000. You know, for the squash matches.

[loopydate]

That was supposed to be Pat Kenney and Johnny Swinger's job, but Swinger refuses to lay down.

[Evil Vito]

BUMP

Gonna plan out some No Way Out stuff eventually, but I won't be able to actually do it for awhile because my PS2 is getting sent off to Sony on Monday because of Disc Read Errors.

-edit-

I wasted post 7,500 on THIS
