Royal Rumble predictions

[maniac]

Since the NYR thread was so fun.


WWE Champion Edge vs. John Cena
MY PICK: Edge retains somehow. Cena may win by DQ or something screwy, but Edge will remain the champ because ratings have been soaring ever since Cena lost the title.

World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle vs. Mark Henry
MY PICK: Duh, what a waste of time this match is. Angle with the ankle lock. Henry can't power out of it if Angle wraps his legs around Henry's calf and lies down. Henry taps, killing him off for the 78979827926th time.

The Boogeyman vs. JBL
MY PICK: Since losing his first PPV match would pretty much kill the Boogeyman before he even gets really started, I'm going with Boogeyman.

Mickie James vs. Ashley - Trish Stratus as special guest referee
MY PICK: Ashley. Mickie will either get pinned or DQed or counted out, and then throw a fit on Trish. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! You're my HERO!" Trish will act all uncomfortable, and Mickie will then attack her before they're separated by officials, leading to Trish vs Mickie at WM22 where Mickie will win the title.

Open Invitational Match for the Cruiserweight Championship
MY PICK: There are crazy rumours swirling around this one. This could be the debut of CM Punk. There's also a rumour that WWE has stolen Samoa Joe and he's going to show up with the X Division title tonight, which would screw TNA. Not sure I buy any of that, but if CM Punk debuts he'll win the title. If not, Kash will retain.

Royal Rumble
MY PICK: I originally said Randy Orton and I reserve the right to claim "I called it" if he wins. ;D But now I think it's gonna be Rey Mysterio. Mysterio vs Angle would just be flat out sick.

[Static]

edge, henry, jbl, ashley, kash, trips.

[Ryan Ro [NAPW]]

Edge retains, cos Cena winning the title back so soon wouldn't have the impact they want. The fans are warming up to him again... if he gets the belt back already it's like "...and?"

Angle, duh.

I'll go with Maniac's call and pick Ashely with shenanigans.


I think a Raw star will win the CW open, like Helms or Chavo.


Rumble: It's nice to not have the winner obvious. If it's Trip I will stab myself in the eye (thanks Rath). Rey, Orton, they're good choices.

[kvhelden]

Just a thought, but if HHH won the Rumble, then perhaps he'd face the soon to be face Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania?

[Chris Casino]

my two cents -

Edge retains for the simple fact that people are sick and tired of Cena. I know I am.

Angle wins of course. I'm guessing the match lasts under ten minutes.

Ashley and Mickie - Ashley wins thus the Trish and Mickie WM 22 match

JBL does the j-o-b. Geez, to go from holding the WWE Title for nine months to losing to the lamest guy on smackdown in the span of a year? Poor bastard.

Cruiserweight Match - I'm thinking Super Crazy or maybe even Helms to make up for his loss to the King (ugh)

RR Winner - I'm going to go all wild on this one. My pick to win? Chris Benoit. He will then go on to face Kurt Angle in another of their show stealing matches at WM 22

[Ravager]

I pick Edge to retain
Angel. If Henry wins, I'll eat my Chris Benoit Tshirt.
JBL
Micki James with shenanegans
Jamie Noble (Kash is injured)
I think HHH (sorry, but he has been out of the spotlight for a while. He'll want to change that)

[travelli]

Edge Retains against Cena obviously cheats to win. Maybe even get disqualified. Edge is on a role.

Perhpas at mania I can see a triple threat match triple h vs cena vs edge.

Angle beates mark henry.
WWE years ago signed Mark Henry a ten year contract a long time ago, and mark henry has turned out to be one of the biggest disapointments in wrestling history.
Rumour has it, he has been in such rediculuos stroyl9ines such as may young giving birth to a hand because they were trying to get him to leave on his own terms.

Boogie man will beat JBl simply because a hyped up rookie wont loose on his debut. However I strongly beleive JBL is a wrestling god and I hope he gets back on top soon

Mickie James Ashlee ends in a no contest, Mickie loses it gets disqualified by trish leading to wrestlmania 22 womans title.

Cruiserweight open Im goin for noble his been on a role on velocity lately. Aint gonaa pick a mexicool of kendric/london due to what there doin in the tag division.

Randy Orton to win royal rumble, Ive had this pick for like six months and Im not bking out now. Think he will face Angle?

[Stone Zellor]

I see Edge cheating to win, then losing it at Wrestlemania. Probably back to Cena.

Kurt Angle, for the love of God let Angle win this one.

No more JBL being main event then, cos he's gonna lose!

Ashley, fast count.

The perennial underdog, Smackdown's number one announcer, Funaki!

And finally, last but not least, RVD would be a good one, but most likely Orton or HHH. I'll say HHH

[Chris Casino]

wow I was way off base.

rey rey wins the rumble!
Cena regains title (ugh)

madness!

[maniac]

Mwuhaha, I guessed right, Mysterio wins. I knew as soon as he came out as #2 he'd win. What I find funny is I can't remember anyone being #30 and winning.

Cena getting the title makes me sick. He SUCKS. He's friggin' awkward, he makes me feel embarassed for him. His entrance was the lamest thing I've ever seen. So now Edge gets his rematch at WM22, but wait...here comes HHH, "I was the last Raw superstar in the rumble, I deserve a shot"...triple threat at WM22.

Angle vs Henry was a travesty of a match. Henry is so awful, not even Kurt Angle can carry him through a decent match. Anyone can see what's gonna happen...Angle will face Taker at No Way Out...Angle will retain via interference from Mark Henry, who will say he deserves a rematch...setting up Taker vs Henry at WM22, in what will hopefully be both of their last matches.

Angle vs Mysterio will be off the charts.

[predator]

Cena wins, but Edge retains.

Henry, because Batista vs. Angle has no story to it. Henry wins and Batista vs. Henry happens at WM22

Boogeyman, JBL's a chicken sh*t.

Same as Maniac's first post.

Meh.

I dunno, I think either Lashley or Batista.

[Ryan Ro [NAPW]]

What a shitty pay-per-view. The only. ONLY. good things about it were 1)Gregory Helms winning the CW belt and 2)Rey winning the Rumble.

Even the rumble match itself was awful, and Rey's win had that much less emotion because of it.

[maniac]

I agree, horrible PPV. I don't like Gregory Helms though, so even that wasn't a positive for me. I feel sorry for Paul London...that guy is an AWESOME wrestler. Watch his stuff with AJ Styles in ROH. He could have been the next Ricky Steamboat, but apparantly Vince would prefer to job him to guys with no future.

And seriously...what the hell. The rumble match is supposed to be the main event. Rey's victory is now overshadowed by Cena winning the title (meaning Raw goes back to being absolute CRAP) and Undertaker's 83798237928th return. God I hope he retires.

They're saying that Mysterio won't be in the main event at WM22...it's gonna be Orton vs Angle, so expect Rey to lose his shot somehow at No Way Out.

It's now official...Vince has lost touch with wrestling and it's time for him to retire, give the company to Shane, and move on. WWE is in a rebuilding phase as it is anyway, why be half pregnant?

[Ravager]

Here's what Vince thinks when Paul London (or any other cruiserweight) runs to the ring to a great ovation:

They're probably cheering for that pretty woman in the front row. I know, another diva search! That'll get ratings!

[travelli]

I was quite wrong only got two out of six of my guesses right.

Alot of things made me raise my eyebrows about that ppv. Why was the rumble match 3rd to last. WHy was Mark Henry in the main event. And why did JBL have to have such a short job match agianst the boogie man.

And Im not even gonna start about Edge losing the title, Why?

The only thing I was pleased to see was the return of Eugene. I hope his used properly this time and not forced to the top to soon like his last two runs eg. Summerslam 04, 05 against Triple H and Angle.
