General Royal Rumble 2008 Discussion

[AnthonyMango/NoFate007]

I was reading through the above predictions, there's some good ones. But just to throw out a new idea/twist for consideration: it's been a while since they've had 2 simultaneous winners of the royal rumble. And I don't think they've done it since the double brands emerged. That could make things really interesting, since now the winner chooses the show that they challenge the champion on. What if there's 2 winners...do they both stay put? Do they both challenge the same champion? Or if they're from different brands, do they both jump ship to the other?

I'm not saying I predict a double winner, but it would be interesting and something they haven't done in a while and probably something no one would expect. If and when they go that route though, I sure hope they have a more creative final solution than a triple threat at wrestlemania

Well in 2005, Batista and Cena both went over at the same time...though if you notice, one of them clearly won (I forget who). Instead of classifying it as a double win, they made them get back in the ring and have another elimination, where Batista came out on top. I guess they're doing that from now on, though if they really wanted to change it up (like they do with the rules for a handicap match every other time, lol) then they could make it so if both people are from different brands (say, for instance, a Raw and a Smackdown guy both go over at the same time), then they both challenge the one from their roster.

Either way, I don't think they're doing that this time around. Undertaker/Edge isn't going to be a triple threat match cause that'd take away from it. Maybe Orton would have a triple threat match, but idk, they still haven't exactly shown where they're going with him, but it seems like the two most likely options are a Batista switch or to continue with Hardy (which I hope they do, unless he simply sucks at the rumble lol).

 

[a7xoff]

Idk I think the whole double winner deal is a little ridiculous. Espically when it's very easy to tell on the replay as to who's feet touched first... Anyways... I'm thinking this could be an ok show. THe Rumble itself will be fun to watch as always, but as far as the other matches are conserned... None of them really look like they're going to be amazing matches. I want to say the best of them will be Edge vs Rey, but even in that I'm sure that many people are expecting to see the former Majors getting involved. I'll be getting the rumble this year for the same reason I do every year... FOr the Rumble itself and nothing more...

 

[zack25mac]

I deffinetly want Kane to win. He must be nearing the end of his career and with all of his dedication with the business and always getting squashed, he deserves a rumble win and a WM win for the title. Kane vs edge at WM? not too bad

I would love for Kane to get back to his old ways, where he was the dominator of the Royal Rumble, but even if he did win, he wouldn't be challenging Edge. Edge/Undertaker is in stone right now. It won't be anybody else but Undertaker who will challenge Edge. Orton is open, but I can't see Kane/Orton. I think Kane's going to have the ECW championship by the end of 08, but he obviously couldn't win the RR and challenge (and beat) CM Punk for it at Wrestlemania as that would tarnish his face image...plus, I can't see them wasting the Royal Rumble on an ECW challenge anyway.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Okay look here , Batista needs a title shot sooner or later. Like seriously , Edge cheated and Armageddon and won the world heavyweight title!.

With Triple H , I personally think he needs a title reign. I think in the WWE Draft , they should draft him too ECW. That would be alot of drama.

Okay so something new here , Robert Roode's new replacement for Ms.Brooks is a beach. =] haha lol. At the next PPV they need a match Gail Kim vs Awesome Kong for the TNA womens championship.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnddd that has exactly WHAT to do with the rumble or WWE??

Batista did get another title shot, on a SmackDown right after armageddon. Triple H would never get drafted to ECW, it makes no sense in any way lol, and wouldnt do anything to elevate anyone. Him getting a ttile reighn, and subsequently being drafted to ECW, has nothing to do with the royal rumble.

Although your pick is probably right, as its been written that Batista is right now the guy they are looking to win it. And maybe the reasoning behind why you think he should is how the WWE thinks all their fans think, and why they would book him to win.

Becuase I cant think of a legitamtely good reason lol

 

[cdes22]

The understood thought is that of course it's going to be Edge and Taker in the SD main event at Mania. That seems to be set in stone at this time. Ok, that being said, how do we fill out the rest of the card then...and who takes the Rumble?

Batista seems to be the most likely candidate, with him jumping to RAW to get in the mix over there. They can keep him at the main event status that he was at in SD, and the Evolution angle they can start to build up toward Mania would at least sell some PPVs.

Like him or not, HHH is a strong candidate as well if he gets in. The big money RAW match is Orton vs. HHH...again like it or not. This depends on him staying face over the next couple months...obviously he would have to, because they won't have a heel/heel matchup of course. If Trips would turn heel, then a Flair-HHH stipulation match besides the ending of the career angle probably would take place.

One of the other possibilities is Kennedy...but him being named McMahon's son would have to happen between now and Mania to help raise the hype about him...in his current status, he's not a big enough name to roll into Mania in a title match. But he has a shot.

If Lashley surprise returns, which seems likely to happen he will have a shot. I don't think he's over enough yet to face Orton at WM, but the company likes him a lot, as shown in the Billionaires match last year.

The return of the Big Show also appears like it will happen too, he would be a welcomed return at the Rumble, but obviously he won't win it...but he could play a big factor.

My prediction for the Rumble is Batista to set up the next couple months as follows:

Orton retains over Hardy. HHH interferes and turns heel.

Batista wins the RR, and challenges Orton.

Trips faces Flair at Mania.

Taker wins the EC at No Way Out over Rey, MVP, Big Show, Morrison, and...hmmm...shot in the dark what the heck...Kane I guess.

Taker vs. Edge as the Main Event of WM.

Kinda like the idea of Matt vs. Jeff in a stipulation match...

MITB: Jericho, Kennedy, Lashley, Benjamin, Rey, and MVP.

Those are just a few of my guesses over the next few months.

I agree with some of the things you said... not all.

Obviously Orton will retain over Hardy, but I don't think Triple H will interfere and turn Heel.

I think that Batista will win the Rumble...

At No Way Out, if he challenges for Smackdown, the RAW elimination chamber will be Triple H vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho vs. JBL with Triple H winning. If he challenges for RAW, then the Smackdown Chamber will be Undertaker vs. MVP vs. Finlay vs. Kane vs. Mark Henry vs. Rey Mysterio. I think I originally had someone else in mind instead of Mark Henry to be in the match, but I don't remember.

I think the WM24 main events will be Randy Orton vs. Batista ... and Edge vs. Undertaker.

BTW, I hate Triple H... I don't think he should be allowed to end Ric Flair's career.

 

[Mental]

BTW, I hate Triple H... I don't think he should be allowed to end Ric Flair's career.

The only other option would be a legend killing

Both would be a good ending passing the torch onto "The Man"

Even after Flairs retired from wrestling I can still see much scope for him to be around as a character wrestling doesn't let go that easily.

 

[Johndertaker]

Why is no-one saying Kane around here, personally if any1 deserves to win the rumble match, it's him because, lets face it he's been there now for ten years and what has got to show 4 it, a 24hr run as wwf champ, intercontinental champ, hardcore and newmerous tag titles, but he needs to win it this year, and get the match against Edge that he shoul've got at The Great American Bash, plus in my view he needs to get the mask back on, looks more Demonic, more Kane.

So that's who I'll be voting 4 at this years rumble.

 

[matty]

Here's the thing. Kane was great when he was the big Red Machine. When he first came in, he was one of those characters you always wanted to know what he would do the next week. His feud with Taker was great. They made him ridiculous and weak when they put him as a face having him in a relationship and teaming with X-CRAP, oh I mean x-pac. Kane needs to put the mask back on, and be the heel he is intended to be. Much like Snitsky is now. But I am sorry to say Johndertaker, the reason nobody is saying Kane is because, as much as he deserves it, it won't happen unless they give him a legitimate push first. He is nothing but a mid card filler at this point and it's very unfortunate.

 

[DeadmanInc.]

There are two occasions which I thought Kane deserved a title run more than anyone else: in his early days as Kane and when he was initially unmasked.

Well, after last night's raw, my predictions for the rumble winner is tied between Triple H and The Undertaker.

 

[AnthonyMango/NoFate007]

So that's who I'll be voting 4 at this years rumble.

Nobody's saying Kane because the bookers don't go by who deserves things. Granted, Kane does deserve some recognition after all his years in the company, but he has absolutely 0% chance at winning this year's Royal Rumble, so nobody's bothering to guess him. It seems like half the people on WrestleZone make their predictions based on what they think the WWE is going to do - which is the safest way to predict things - but then there's a lot of people that come up with out of the blue suggestions that don't follow a logical suit. Kane/Edge never happened, yeah, but they've been building up the Undertaker/Edge for months now. They aren't going to just abandon that storyline to give some spotlight to Edge, know what I mean? I desperately agree with you, though, that Kane needs his mask back, cause right now he's just a fat bald guy who looks constipated sometimes lol.

As for the Royal Rumble, though, we've been only seeing three names tossed around by those that aren't just people on forums (like myself). Those three names are The Undertaker, Triple H, and Batista...though Batista's option really has taken a dive from what the rumor was about a month ago, hasn't it? "Triple H vs Batista" was damn near set in stone, and now its a distant third.

Reasons for Batista to win:
1. Big name to challenge Orton.

Reasons for Triple H to win:
1. Big name to challenge Orton.
2. He'd pull the necessary strings to get himself there, like he always does.
3. He's being built up to win the RR.

Reasons for Undertaker to win:
1. His feud with Edge is the most solid feud being built right now.
2. He's been scheduled for a long title run.
3. He's being built up to win the RR.
4. Jeff Hardy's on WWE magazine inside the Elimination Chamber, making it a Raw one, and if that's the case, Smackdown's champ is already challenged. Since Edge is that man, and nobody else will go against him for Wrestlemania, Undertaker would therefore have to be the winner.
5. Since they - and we - already know it'll be Edge/Undertaker, but we don't know what the Raw situation is, this gives them the easiest option to progress that story, whilst giving them an extra month to plan out what they want for the WWE title.




If there were WWE pools, I'd be throwing 100 bucks down on the Undertaker winning the Royal Rumble.

 

[FlairFan2003]

The only other option would be a legend killing

Both would be a good ending passing the torch onto "The Man"

Even after Flairs retired from wrestling I can still see much scope for him to be around as a character wrestling doesn't let go that easily.

HHH vs Orton is the "money match" on RAW, especially if they playit right (Orton has to truly beat HHH to pass him as RAW's true No 1 SuperStar).

As for Flair's career, it would be a real downer to have him lose to a hated rulebreaker, with no respect like Orton. At some point I see McMahon himself climbing in the ring with Flair and the feud moving to centering on McMahon's hatred of Flair and desire to end the career of the one truly great superstar of the past twenty years he didn't create and can't take credit for. I do not think they waste Flair's career ending loss on McMahon though, maybe Flair beats him at WrestleMania (he's never had a great WM win, only highly entertaining losses to Savage & Taker) so maybe Flair downs Vince and just retires. There's only about three or four guys today big enough to be worthy of ending his career in one of these stipulation matches (HHH, Michaels, Taker) and none of them currently have any beef or feud with him. I thought for awhile that maybe Taker, Batista, or HHH would win their brand's title and defend against Flair at WM in a face vs face match with Flair losing but it doesn't look like their going that way.

 

[BIGGIESAL1993]

I'really hoping that the game HHH wins it this year. If he does he than pick yhe superstars in the elimation chamber!! The only that would work is that Orton defeats Jeff Hardyy at the Royal Rumble.Lets just wait and see

 

[mabuza]

At this stage its clear HHH will face Orton at WM24,and he'll probably win the RR to go to the mainevent.The problem's that right now it only makes sense for Orton to remain champ until Cena get's back.Randy beat HHH already,but he never beat Cena

 

[2Xtreme3]

honestly do any of you guys think that jeff hardy has a chance to win the wwe title at the royal rumble? i've been a huge jeff hardy fan for years and watching raw the past month and a half i really think jeff has a legit chance of winning....they've made him look unbeatable the past few months and i don't think i've ever been as excited during a period of time in wrestling as i have been now....to me jeff has been pretty deserving to win the big one even after being let go by the wwe in 2003.....his close calls with the undertaker in the awesome undisputed title ladder match on raw (one of my favorite matches of all time) and against triple h for the world heavyweight title on raw right before unforgiven 2002 before he was let go just seemed like he should've won both matches.......i recently got the best of jeff hardy dvd from tna and it just seemed like he would never do anything there and i knew eventually he would come back to wwe....he's won pretty much every other title in wwe but either of the 3 world titles and with this recent big singles push i just think it's jeff's time to win the belt......what do you guys think?

They'll be too hesitant to trust him just yet. The Royal Rumble is his chance to show them that he's worthy of the spot. If he does well, which I really hope he does, as I'm a fan of him too, then by the end of 2008 he'll have a world title.

 

[2Xtreme3]

somehow (by pure luck or miracle) i actually got tickets to the royal rumble online over the weekend and honestly (besides this being one of the 4 original wwe pay-per-views) i wanted to tickets for this event (and again besides this being my first live show ever (i've been a fan since 1993 and i've never been to a live event) and it being in (come on now) madison square garden) i wanted to go just because this is the first legit shot since 2002 that jeff has at winning the wwe championship...if any of you guys watch it on pay-per-view or actually go to the show i'll be in section 104 either wearing a hardy's shirt or black holding a sign saying "jeff hardy new wwe champion"....besides me hyping up jeff hardy lol i honestly have no idea whose going to win the royal rumble...there's a few obvious choices (triple h, shawn michaels, batista, and the undertaker) but i really hope wrestlers like mr. kennedy, bobby lashley (hopefully a surprise entrant), kane, finlay, and shelton benjamin get some consideration....and another thing.....is it just me or should some of these matches have stipulations on them?....the ric flair/mvp match should at least have the united states title on the line.....the jbl/chris jericho match should def be a no dq after the past couple of weeks....and the jeff hardy/randy orton match should have some stipulation on it because as good as i think this match is going to be....i have a feeling orton will cheat and the match will end up as a dq.....or like i was talking to someone the other day....i have a feeling that matt will interfere....but i def agree with you jeff will no doubt have a world title reign under his belt by the end of the year.....as a raw fan hopefully it'll be the wwe championship....doesn't a hardy/cena feud sound pretty interesting?

 

[smurdock01]

After thinking it all over... I still do want an ECW person to win it... Hopefully The Miz, the guy is impressing me a lot lately... He's got the speed and brains to win the Rumble, and if not him then why not Benjamin? He's finally getting that light shined on him since he's gone to ECW.

On Raw's side of things, seeing HBK win for the fact of making history and being the first to win three rumbles would be nice to see. As far as underdogs go, it wouldn't surprise me if Cody Rhodes won the rumble...

And as for Smackdown... I want one of the Edgeheads to win or Hornswoggle... Hornswoggle mainly because of the whole making history bit again... Plus seeing Hornswoggle with one of the top titles would RULE.

Austin already won 3 rumbles in '97, '98 and '01. Seeing Hornswoggle with a another title would confirm that vinny macs humour is whats wrong with wrestling. If it did happen I really wouldnt be that suprised however.

Hey I hate to tell you this, but HBK needs 2 more to make history because Stone Cold already has won 3. Gotta know the facts before the posts

And no offense, but if Cody Rhodes won the rumble, I would first laugh my but off at the end of WWE, them I would remember, wait, I paid for this $90.00 ticket to be in Madison Square Garden and that would suck.

Let's be realistic. the Royal Rumble, although unpredictable to a point of not knowing which of the 3-5 main stars will actually win, is pretty damn predictable. Don't get me wrong, it can be an excellent show, and predictability isn't always a bad thing, but I hate to tell those wishful
thinkers....

It WILL NOT be...

Kane, Hornswoggle, Cody Rhodes, Snitsky, Sheton Benjamin, Mark Henry, Carlito, or any other "surprise" mid carder.

It WILL be...

HHH, Batista, Undertaker, Mr. Kennedy, or Shawn Michaels.

 

[HBKgOttaKnowNow24]

I tell you what last years rumble, for me personally was so classic. I feel like a kid again, so excited for this sunday. So last night i went to Blockbuster and got my self a little fore-play. I HAD to rent last years rumble. Just seeing HBK and Taker the last two, even watching it again last night, gave me a chill. Even though i know HBK loses, i was still on the edge of my seat. This stuff brings the kid out in me, i feel like i did back in 95-96 with my eyes glued to my tv. Ya know, i found this website with one thing in mind, spoilers. I wanted to find things out before they happen. Like my User name says, i gotta know NOW! especially for HBK. I was never into spiderman or supreman. My hero growing up was the heart break kid. I watched this stuff until HBK lost at wrestlemania to stone cold, tried watching it while he was gone, but just couldnt stay into it without him being there. Now that hes been back, i feel like im 8/9 yrs old again but i couldnt STAND watching him lose to Cena over and over, then Orton over and over...Now that im older however i find i get over it faster haha! i tell ya what for the most part i dont think i know whos going to win this years rumble. HHH is one of my favs, but i think it would be TOOOOO obvious if he won with his last minute entry. Winning 2 rumbles is HUGE, i think Batista is deserving and is probably most likely to win. I dont know!!!! all i can say is im so stoked for this sunday, i feel like a kid again and whoever wins ill be ok with.....as long as i get to see a little SWEET CHIN MUSIC!!!!!

 

[crazy88]

Ok, looking through the archives on this post, I've seen some very solid picks, very smart picks, and picks that made me wonder how many different kinds of crack that person was smoking. While I like that are people staunchly defending their favorite wrestlers, there are some who are either a) Past their prime, b) Haven't hit their prime yet, or c) Aren't going to have a prime.
There are MAYBE about 5 superstars I see as having legitimate shots at winning the Rumble, and those 5 are : Triple H, Undertaker, Batista, Shawn Michaels, and Mr. Kennedy ( and I believe his chances are remote at best.) Out of these 5, here's the order of who I think is the most likely to win the Rumble:
1) Undertaker- He's gonna challenge Edge for the WHC at WM24, and the Elimination Chamber at No Way Out is scheduled to be a RAW event, so why resolve the WHC picture at the Rumble.
2) Triple H- Only because of his storyline heading into the Rumble. Having work so hard to get into the Rumble, it seems as though they are building toward Trips winning the Rumble.
3)Shawn Michaels- After last years Rumble, HBK earned his right for a third Rumble win. But the only way I see Michaels winning the Rumble would be if Jeff Hardy were to win the WWE title to set up a title match at WM 24, which seems far fetched.
4) Batista- If you asked me even two weeks ago, I'd told you that Batista was my front- runner to win the Rumble. But know, I'm not so sure. He's become very stagnant on SmackDown since losing the WHC, and I think a move to RAW would do him a world of good. Maybe have him finish second in the Rumble, then have him force his way into the Elimination Chamber match.
5) Mr. Kennedy- A left field choice. I think his chances of winning are very thin. Would only win if Vince and his staff suddenly all went brain dead.

Stone Cold's won three rumbles already. Though I think HBK deserves more recognition than Austin, I doubt HBK will win 2 more Royal Rumbles in his career.

They'd never give the Royal Rumble win to somebody that they aren't willing to push or make money off of. Cody Rhodes has 0% chance of winning the Royal Rumble because he isn't popular enough with the fans to receive a push that this would do. The Royal Rumble is the year's "golden opportunity chance". Only the biggest stars have a shot at it, so you won't see the Miz win just to challenge for the ECW title. The Edgeheads are more primed for a tag team title win than for them to be split up already and for one of them to headline the #1 ppv of the entire year. Hornswoggle has no shot, either, because if they had Hornswoggle headline Wrestlemania, they'd be laughed at and criticized far more than they already are, and that's pretty heavily with this angle going on.

 

[Ratedrko619]

I guess I'll give my predictions for the Rumble

WWE Title: Randy Orton (C) v. Jeff Hardy
This match has been heavely hyped and should be a good one. Every week it seems that WWE is making Hardy to look really good as compared to Orton and Hardy has been getting huge pops recently. I still believe Orton will retain either by DQ or getting a dirty win. Based on the new WWE Magazine and the No Way Out wallpaper, Hardy will be in the Chamber match.

World Title: Edge (C) v. Rey Mysterio
Storyline wise, there is no way Rey will get the title. I see Edge getting the pin after interference from the Edgeheads. This might then set up for a mini Punk v. Edge fued for No Way Out and then to Undertaker at WM24.

MVP v. Flair
Flair will win the match either by DQ, Count Out, or maybe even a quick roll up pin. I see Flair losing at WM so he will get the win somehow.

JBL v. Jericho
Should be an okay match even though it is a filler. Both men should be in the Rumble but oh well. I think Jericho will get the win over the "wrestling god" but the fued will most likely continue to No Way Out.

Rumble Match
I believe Undertaker will win, last eliminating either Shawn, Triple H, or Batista setting up the Raw Chamber match at No Way Out and then solidifying his main event match with Edge at WM24. I believe it has a chance of being a pretty good match.
