First of all:
Secondly:
Thank you ma Lord, you basically said everything I was trying to say in a neat little nutshell. And I think you made a really good point-the Royal Rumble should have completely random winners. Forget the debate over whether high-, mid-, or low-carders should get the win. Just put all the rumblers names in a hat, pick one, and build a storyline. I think it's only fair to throw the writers a complete curveball like that, especially when they throw the curveball that is the WWE Draft every year on the Superstars. Would definitely keep my interest.
Of course, the only problem is that people like the Hurricane or R-Truth or even Horswaggle would be picked, and let's face it, these forums would be filled with wwe flamers. It could still create good storylines, but people simply wouldnt be able to take it for what it is.......unpredictable!
EDIT: To respond to D-Man-ok, I didnt know Cena was gonna return that night, but alot of people in the stream that I was on kept saying they were hearing rumors that he was backstage. I didnt believe it at first, but enough people claimed it was true that I believed it, and figured if he's back, then he's probably gonna win. Same thing happened with Edge this year.
As for being annoyed when I'm right, it's because I like unpredictability. Although, you make a good point. If I like it so much, maybe I should stop reading the spoilers, except for the fact that I don't read them. Most of the predictions I make are based on past events, knowing what makes common sense financially for the company, and what I personally hope happens on the show. In the case of predicting the Edge/Cena incidents, I trace those to the stream chatters that I speak to right before the ppv's start). Taking your advice, I'm gonna stop talking to them before the ppvs. Maybe that will help the next Royal Rumble be even more entertaining and unpredictable for me. Again, I thank you, almighty D-Man!
You are going to have to excuse D-Man. He gets a little over-zealous when he sees people bashing the WWE product. You have to wonder whether the Staff lost their minds when they wanted me to take over Modding the WWE section and not him.
Secondly:
I wasn't all that surprised, and to be frank, I was a little underwhelmed because I knew it was coming. WWE's better solution to this problem is to make the Rumble what it should be intended to be on a kayfabe sense .... award it to a completely random person. Unpredictability is one of the single most important and valuable characteristics in wrestling today.
