The Masked Orange Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 O.K, this question has been drifting around the forums for some time know, but only fleetingly, so know I shall bring up the matter properly. Who will win the rumble, got to Wrestlemania and lets throw in some complaints about how it should've been Hardy but he won without the Mysterio push. Bastard. I think, at the moment, it will be Edge. but it will be another crappy La Familia angle to get the Main Event to be Jeff Vs. Edge Vs. HHH. And that means Edge won't win.
The Masked Orange Posted December 29, 2008 Author Posted December 29, 2008 <p>I got a mate who runs a Ladbrokes in East London.</p><p> </p><p> Yes, it's been robbed about four times but that's not the point.</p><p> </p><p> According to him, the odds are in Cena's favour, with Trips second, Batista third, and HBK and Taker joint fourth.</p><p> </p><p> Edge is sixth, Orton seventh and rank outsider is the Show.</p><p> </p><p> According to him, Batista and Edge would have swapped, but they lose money when the faces win so they got to put their value down.</p><p> </p><p> And, some dude came in drunk, but fourty quid that Hornswoggle wins, with Show being second.</p><p> </p><p> If he wins he get's 652 pounds.</p><p> </p><p> But, a sinister thought just popped into my mind, is Mcmahon gonna be returning Cena style at the rumble?</p>
Guest Ransik Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 <p>According to a "reputable".... "wrestling journalist", Cage is supposed to be the guy who attacked Jeff at the Survivor Series, therefore Cage "may or may not be" booked to win the Rumble.</p><p> </p><p> And thankfully we can omit Batista from the records until mid-summer at the earliest.</p><p> </p><p> Dolph Ziggler has a better chance of winning the Rumble than Kane does.</p><p> </p><p> Sooooo.... since Cena is World Champion... HBK is ready to retire... and Rey will never get near a World Title again... and every time Taker gets a World Title he gets injured...</p><p> </p><p> Edge only gets World Titles in "shocking fashions", so he's not gonna win it.</p><p> </p><p> Our choices are down to Triple H, Randy Orton or Chris Jericho, cause I highly doubt Big Show will win it.</p>

jbergey_2005 Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 <p>JBL with the help oh HBK could be another option athough Im going with Orton as option A with Trips as my option B</p><p> </p><p> I still wanna see the deadman turn and set up Undertaker vs Cena at WM. I cant think of a better dream matchup right now. Plus I dont think we've seen a Cena vs UT feud.</p><p> </p><p> My card would look like this</p><p> </p><p> Mysterio & Bourne vs Morrison & Miz(Tag Team title match)</p><p> MITB Jeff Hardy vs Matt Hardy vs Shelton Benjamin vs Kofi Kingston vs HBK(angle being HBK wins the MITB to give the briefcase to JBL) vs Cody Rhodes</p><p> CM Punk vs Randy Orton</p><p> Triple H vs Edge(yeah boring but I couldnt think of anything else for these 2)</p><p> Kennedy vs Jericho</p><p> Undertaker vs Cena(Main Event)</p><p> </p><p> That leaves Big Show, Kozlov, JBL, MVP and Kane on the outside looking in and Im not real happy about nothing more than another MITB for Jeff Hardy(Smackdown is really lacking of potential new feuds)</p>
sabataged Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 <p>Well my thoughts are that Christian shows up and screws Hardy out of the title and it goes back to Edge. This sets up a Christian vs Hardy match at mania. But also gives the title back to Edge to defend against Triple H. </p><p> </p><p> I don't see Triple H winning it though. I see Randy Orton winning it going on to face Cena.</p><p> </p><p> Half @ssed Wrestlemania Predictions....</p><p> </p><p> Edge vs HHH</p><p> Christian vs Hardy</p><p> Orton vs Cena (now that Batista is done)</p><p> HBK vs Undertaker</p><p> Jericho vs Kennedy in the RAW vs SD! challenge match.</p><p> </p><p> I have no idea for the Money in the Bank. I wanted Cena vs Batista for the World Title match and Orton to win the Money in the Bank. Then come out and cash it in that night, beating Cena for the title to end the show.</p>
Woodsmeister Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 I think shawn michaels will help jbl win but he won't go to the main event some how HBK will win it back at no way out or something.
foolinc Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Right now I am thinking the top of the card might look like this WHC: John Cena vs. Randy Orton WWE: Jeff Hardy vs. Christian vs. Edge vs. Matt Hardy (a strech, but I like it) Grudge Match 1: Triple H vs. Undertaker Grudge Match 2: HBK vs. JBL Grudge Match 3: Beth Phoenix vs. Trish Stratus
Self Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Going for the out-of-left-field pick of Batista to win the Rumble.
foolinc Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Going for the out-of-left-field pick of Batista to win the Rumble. Considering he's out for six months, I'd say that's a bit of a stretch.
The Shape Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 I have so many Mania and buildup ideas in mind that I'm dangerously close to starting a diary, and so will refraim from posting them at this juncture. Just typed up a massive post only to think twice and delete it, but well, I think it could work =D
Sarcasm Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 I would have my card look like this. Main Event WWE Chamionship: Jeff Hardy vs Christian (Can be in a TLC Match or whatever.) World Title John Cena© vs Randy Orton Undertaker vs HBK /w JBL Y2J vs 619 MITB V: Evan Bourne vs MVP vs The Brian Kendrick vs Jake Swagger vs Hurricane Helms vs CM Punk vs Kofi Kingston vs William Regal ECW Title: Matt Hardy vs Vladimir Kozlof HHH vs Edge The rest I dont care.
GatorBait19 Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 I think it will be a controversial Rumble, maybe a double winner? but something that brings chaos
GatorBait19 Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 gerweck.net and lordsofpain.net are both saying Cage is pretty much signed with WWE and it will be Hardy vs Christian at WM 25 for the title and he will be revealed as the attacker

Self Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 <p>I like Cage, but not as a Main Event threat. I just don't buy it. He doesn't look like a fighter, and his moveset doesn't make me think otherwise. I like the character; the TLC history, the 5-second poses, the intricate web of relationships he's formed, but the idea of him Co-Main Eventing a Wrestlemania doesn't do it for me.</p><p> </p><p> I could see him facing Jeff because of the attack. That makes sense. I just think they'd likely not put the title on the line.... I'd expect Jeff would drop it to Edge (thanks to Christian's interference) and have Trips win an Elimination Chamber to get the title shot.</p><p> </p><p> Jeff vs Christian</p><p> Edge vs Triple H</p><p> Orton vs Cena</p><p> </p><p> With Orton being the winner of the Royal Rumble.</p>

Tha Black Phenom Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 The Christian attacking Jeff thing won't happen. Because some sites decided to report that, so they'll likely bring Christian in another way(which might be a more lackluster way then had he attacked Hardy). And here we will be, bitching about how better it could've been if they originally went with the plan of Christian being the attacker. Isn't this how it pretty much goes down nowadays? God bless the Internet, aye? And for the record, I'm predicting Orton to win the Rumble.
wilts Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Just had a thought. If Cage wins shall I jump off a building, through helicopter blades, Or go for cyanide in the tea? If it happens I will hate it, never liked Cage, and the only reason they are bringing him back is for some cheap heat from the days of TLC Heres to hoping that Cage wins After RAW, would it be totally unacceptable for a screwy JBL win at the Rumble, then HBK winning the Rumble? Or JBL to lose, HBK to win the Rumble but then losing the right to fight at Mania to JBL. Personally, I don't give 2 hoots about who wins the Rumble. Hornswoggle could win it and go on to Mania for all I care, just so long as they book the build up well then I don't mind.
justtxyank Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 I think there is a strong possibility that HBK will wrestle in the main event as this is in Texas and it might be his last Wrestlemania.
The Masked Orange Posted December 30, 2008 Author Posted December 30, 2008 Just remembered, how taker wanted to retire at Wreslemania 24, but didn't want to reign on Flair's parade. So he might be leaving at 25
