HBK fought cena at taboo tuesday 05 and although it also had angle in the match hbk and cena fighting it wasnt anything special and i mean its better to hav heel vs cena at mania dats why i think either orton or edge
 
ohh john cena lost the title in RR he Win again his 4 wwe championship, in wm 23 lost and again... 5 wwe championship
 
Wm23 will basically also mark Cena as a 2 year champion/title hunter.

Damn that's long.

Sure he's dropped the belt to edge for a week or two here...but for the past two years that belt has been his for the most part.

I wish Orton would win the RR and become a heel champion who wins cleanly. What am I saying...WWE would NEVER do a thing like that...

Edit: Or at least a tweener...
 
Cena might lose tha title i highly say he won't because of that subway comercial they have or if HBK wins the rumble umaga will be champ if orton wins THE CHAMP WILL STILL BE HERE!!!!! Ken k will lose to Batista so taker can get his shot ( i have notice any time taker get a title shot he gets screwed alot of times) but if it is at wm23 he will win
 
I'm thinkin Orton will win in a sort of upset and go on to face Cena for the WWE title at Mania (with Austin as enforcer?). Taker will face Ken Kennedy for No. 1 contendership @ No Way Out, with Kane taking on Batista for the Gold, setting up Batista V Undertaker for the WHC at Mania. Edge will fight HBK (the annual show stealer) prob
 
I dont get why Raw has three more superstars than Smackdown and six more than ECW. I can inderstand ECW having less but but Raw having more make's them look inferior. Do Super Crazy and Viscera really need to be in it. If Khali's in the Rumble then they dont need another big man and Crazy's just a jobber anyway. I would put in Burke for ECW to make it an even eight participant's for them. I would put Mercury in as the final Smackdown competitor, The Hardyz and Nitro are already in so it make's sence.

Does anyone else expect London and Kendrick to become part of the M.N.M./Hardy match?

I also expect to see The Boogeyman costing Helms in the Rumble.
 
I like the Idea that they have one big fat guy (Vis) and one big, tall monster (Khali.) I think because Raw has more people that seem likely to win the Rumble, that they are naturally going to have more wrestlers in there. ECW has as much chance of winning the Rumble as the Great Khali does at joining DX. SmackDown has dominated the Rumble in recent years, so I expect a Raw guy to win it as they need an established contender. Super Crazy will be in there for about 5 minutes and explode in with high flying moves. They don't have many Cruiserweights in there so I think that is why they have him there. I expect Mercury to be involved in the match. Possibly managing Nitro or costing one of the Hardys the match. I don't think that he wants to do to much wrestling with his face issue, so that is why I don't think he would want to be in the Rumble.

I think Miz fills the joke competitor, but I think Vito would be better at that. It is interesting that Holly is in the Rumble, but I don't think he will last long.

I don't think that Kendrick and London will be a part of the match because I think they are focusing on the Hardys/MNM feud. I think that a good idea for the money in the bank match would be to have a triple threat tag match between the three teams, where the winning team both get shots at the World Title. Although Vince doesn't want MNM and The Hardys teaming so it is probably unlikely to see.

I think it just shows that the WWE is trying to promote Raw as the best brand so that is why you see an uneven amount of wrestlers in there.
 
What I wonder is if they are going to announce a 6th and or 7th matches b4 the RR or if they are just gonna hold off and call it as an "extra" match during the PPV seeing as all or most PPVs besides WM has 6-7 matches in them and so far the RR has only 5 announced the 3 titles/the tag team and the RR I wonder if they are gonna announce b4 hand or during. Because for me I like knowing what im about to order and what matches im going to be looking forward to.
 
Mmmmm, Mercury can't be in it cos his face is still being protected. They can protect him in a Tag match or a singles match, but not in a situation where someone might accidently elbow him.

Anyway - My predictions:

Rumble: TAKER
Cena-Umaga: CENA
Dave-Ken: DAVE
Bobby-Test: BOBBY
X-Treme-MNM: Sheesh - a pure 50-50, and I really think even the powers that be have no idea which way this will go until they start the fight.

The thing is that Mercury is the jobber at the moment; he can't sustain a winning streak with his injuries so they farm him out to whomever...soooo...what suits the storyline best? Mercury has been whaling on the lads since he returned in revengemode. Will he lose on Sunday and start a proper feud with MNM once more? I really like the concept of the two teams crossing the RAW-Smackdown brand as it ignores the conceit that they are different companies: <rant>I mean ffs, come on; Khali moves from ECW to RAW cos his contract was up? Do people sign 3 week long contracts now? They could have suggested that they'd bought his contract out but no, let's treat the publics intelligence with contempt.</rant>

On balance I have to go with the Hardy's. This is a babyfacefest afterall....
 
Oh and regards extra matches: We've done some maths here and think there'll be 0 extra matches...

3 title matches need time. The Rumble is what? 70 minutes maybe? The Hardy's will use 20-25 minutes for sure...

160 minutes - Hardy's/MNM (25mins) = 135 - Batista fight (15) = 120 - Rumble (70) = 50 - ECW (15) = 35 - Cena(30) = 5 minutes safety time....

Perhaps a Diva Bikini staple, but no match....or....

Or maybe they announce the Women's defence, and Melina comes in, causes a quick DQ and we start a proper feud with some decent action...

What do people think on that?
 
True on that but the rumble can last anywhere from 40-60 minutes and it has been stated that "Batista" is not a good wrestler when it comes to doing long matches. But I can see the LMS match going for maybe 20+ min but as for the ECW.....pfffft thats not even worth a PPV.
 
I'm hoping HBK wins the Rumble and goes on and beats Cena at Wrestlemania. I'm so tired of John Cena as champion maybe it is time for him to fight for a year without the title. If not HBK I hope Taker wins the Royal Rumble and goes on and beats Batista because he is another one I can't stand to watch.

My Fingers are crossed for:
HBK vs Cena
Undertaker vs Batista
Edge vs Orton
 
im hoping for an ECW guy to win the rumble. because if one of them do it would boost the ratinf of the ECW shows. which is much needed since they have a steady rating of anywhere between 1 aand 1.5
 
Everone wont cena to lose his title because he whoop everone's ass including umaga IF he loses HBK will win the Rumble to face umaga if not it up to RKO to get the job done which will not happen So The CHAMP WILL BE HERE fo a min
 
Dude....bringing back ECW was a BIG mistake on McMahons half the show NEVER brings over a 2.0 cable rating except maybe the debut show....its a waste of talent with the WWE running it its not the original and NEVER will be they need to do away with ECW just like the XFL.

The ECW is just as bad as the XFL trial was if not worse. The talent in ECW is just horrible and the nobodies get thrown over there when they have no room for them on SD! or RAW. I really see this ECW going nowhere in the next year and I hope to god McMahon does away with it because for gods sake IT SUCKS. I hate TNA more then ECW but FFS TNA is more entertaining then ECW. I will admit ECW does have its "few" good entertainers but their being wasted in ECW, throw out ECW and divide them among RAW and SD!
 
my rumble predictions are...

MNM vs Hardyz....MNM
Test vs Lashley...Test
Kennedy vs Batista...Batista
Umaga vs Cena...Cena
Royal Rumble Winner....Orton...id like to see Nitro win but that wont happen, its basically set in stone that it will be Orton or HBK
 
I do see HBK winning, especially with HHH off the scene for now, I think Something will then happen between the rumble and WM23 for undertaker to get involved, Or taker will just win the rumble :)
 
As much as I don't like Umaga. I would love to see him beat the crap out of Cena and then have HBK beat him at Wrestlemania. Then maybe down the road have Orton take it from HBK allowing him to have time off. I just hope if it is Taker vs Batista they have Taker beat him. I'm so tired of Batista and Cena its been 2 years already. I need something new King Booker with the title for 5 months was a breath of fresh air.
 
I like the spinner belt, it's very "substantial" looking I guess? It looks expensive and heavy...i.e befitting of a championship belt. The SD belt is so daaaaamn plain and cheap looking. BTW I'm not a cena mark defending his title, I like the idea of the spinner belt. Also in your sig, Edge's Rated R belt looked badass.

Edit: Not that it spins, just how it looks.
 
I see HBK winning the Royal Rumble going on to face Cena at Mania and beating him and then Cena turning heel after the match, attacking Michaels leaving him for dead in the ring. This would be a great oppurtunity for Cena to get a fresh character.
 
your thoughts on who will win the Rumble and the storyline it sets up at WM...I'm going with Orton....he will need some major build up though going into mania. If Taker and Batista are going to have a WM winning streak vs world title match then you cant expect RAW to throw two faces into a main event....although IMO it would be a big change and pretty interesting.
