The Royal Rumble is shit
Wat is the point in it when the runner up gets a title match too?

RR 2005 - Batista wins, Cena is last eliminated.
WM 2005 - Batista vs HHH. Cena vs JBL.

RR 2006 - Rey Mysterio wins. Orton is last eliminated.
WM 2006 - Angle vs Mysterio vs Orton.

RR 2007 - Undertaker wins. HBK is last eliminated.
WM 2007 - Batista vs Undertaker. Cena vs HBK.

RR 2008 - Cena wins. HHH is last eliminated.
WM 2008 - Orton vs Cena vs HHH.

RR 2009 - Orton wins. HHH is last eliminated.
WM 2009 - HHH vs Orton. (lol?)

RR 2010 - Edge wins. Cena is last eliminated.
WM 2010 - Jericho vs Edge. Batista vs Cena.

Santino doesn't count.

But it looks like its gonna happen this yr too.

It's a prestige thing. It still makes sense kayfabe-wise. You're the first person to stamp your ticket to main eventing WrestleMania. It just so happens the runner up tends to find their way in too. There's gotta be a challenger for the other title. It's kinda just what happens when you have two main event titles.

Yeah. More a byproduct of the brand-split era and the necessity of having at least two "main events".

It needs to happen. I don't think it would hurt the brand split at all. Just make it like it used to be. The US and IC titles are the top brand-specific titles and there's one WWE World Heavyweight Champion who appears on both shows.

Since you're building up main eventers on both shows, it also prevents the champion from quickly running out of challengers.

I wish they'd go back to this too, but I feel like they stopped it for a reason.

I think it's just a matter of logistics. One common complaint wrestlers have is the travel schedule. It would be a pain in the ass to be champion and appear on Raw on Monday and then rush to catch a plane so you can be at a Smackdown taping on Tuesday. Then you have to factor in hotel accommodations, workout times, house show appearances and rest.

Plus, WWE probably makes more money in its cable deals and house shows by giving Smackdown its own heavyweight champion that it can market and push. I don't think this incarnation of Daniel Bryan or Mark Henry during his run would have garnered the same interest if they were just midcard champions.

You mean like the main event level guys on Smackdown already have to do? Also the way it was before the roster split.

The only thing I don't like is how they keep saying how the winner is in 'the main event of Wrestlemania' when clearly that's not really how it works anymore.

Del Rio won last year, and he was in the opening match of Wrestlemania. And they still refer to it as the main event.

Yeah, I dunno. Makes more sense for the guy who almost won to get a title shot than some guy who got eliminated half way thru the Rumble.

They've done the 3 "main events" thing for Mania for the past few years and especially once they started to really hype Undertaker's streak as an annual event.

I think the Royal Rumble has lost a bit of significance because of the Elimination Chamber PPV. 10 guys that failed to win the Royal Rumble still get a shot in the Elimination Chamber to main event Wrestlemania.

With them doing the raw "Supershow" now, wouldn't that eliminate the need for the WWE world champ to appear on both shows. He could do smackdown sporadically, maybe before ppvs.

But even if they kept Raw as a super show, if THE champion of the company is a Raw wrestler and only sporadically on Smackdown, it pretty much just says Smackdown is so low below Raw that it doesn't deserve it's own title. Only sporadic appearaces from the guy who has the title.

Might as well just have him regularly be on both.
