The Critic Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 01:44 AM) In fact since classes haven't started yet I thought about how the whole thing can play out... Orton wins Rumble, we find out Steph was in on the entire thing. Vince comes back next night on Raw to fire Orton. Orton reminds him that since he won the Rumble he has to get his shot before that can happen. So Vince starts to back Cena. We get a good couple of months of Cena/Orton build up with the McMahons in each corner. WM25 rolls around, Vince pulls the swerve. Orton wins the strap, SuperCena's pissed. It can then potentially setup a Cena/Vince feud if need be. The Mr. McMahon character CAN'T be a face, just can't happen. I can live with this scenario.

longshot7 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Ugh, how many times have we seen that? Yecchh. Triple H wins the Rumble, Orton gets fired next week by Steph but figures a way back before No Way Out, wins the Elimination Chamber and there you go. (I guess that works for either guy, and that's what's wrong with the storylines- the wrestlers are interchangable.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had Orton winning the Rumble just to freshen things up a bit. Heel hasn't won it in 10 years & Trips has won it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot7 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 What would be great is if Christian wins the Rumble and goes after Jeff, revealing he's the one who's been behind all the attacks. Orton gets fired but "injures" Cena leading John to demand a match at WM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i'm tired of seeing Cena "attacked" to only come back stronger than ever deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no way Christian is winning anything right away.. hes gonna get punished for leaving for TNA before they push him anywhere.. I think its pretty obvious if he costs Hardy the title, he will lose to Hardy when they actually meet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Swagger over Matt Hardy clean. Melina wins Women's belt over Beth. Cena retains after HBK super kicks JBL and Cena. Puts JBL on Cena and leaves. Slow count and Cena kicks out. Wins with FU. Edge wins WWE title after Matt Hardy turns heel on Jeff, hitting him with chair and costing belt. Good match. RANDY ORTON wins the Rumble! RVD was a surprise entrant. No Christian. Matt Hardy turn wasn't really expected but came off well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxbrian Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) I think I'm going to start to get back into WWE. Judgment Day is in Chicago so I want to go to that too, so that might be a reason why I want to start with it again. I used to love it but have been on and off with the whole thing for 3 years now. I always loved HHH and Orton. Who are the major heels and faces now, if anyone has the time? BTW- when is Taker supposed to get back, have there been any rumors on it at all?

Milkman delivers Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 That was a pretty good Royal Rumble, in the sense that it was old fashioned. There were about 15 guys in the ring at once, which is how it should be. My only problem with Royal Rumbles is that there is never a surprise winner, not even somewhat surprising. Each time the event comes around, there is a choice between 3 or 4 guys that you know will have to win. WSB, Undertaker was in the event tonight. I'm not sure he was even gone recently.

fathom Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The Rumble match lately has been tame. Like Milkman said, anyone could have predicted the final 5 or so guys in the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot7 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Well, I was wrong - I predicted HHH. Oh well. Orton sucks but the Rumble itself was great. Matt's turn on Jeff was awesome, and that match at WM should be killer. Mania card?: Orton/Cena Edge/HHH Matt/Jeff HBK/JBL Taker/Big Show That's pretty sweet. You'll have a great time, Greenman - I've been to two of them. Don't miss the ROH shows while you're there.

The Critic Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Mickey Rourke has been signed to appear at WrestleMania. Rumor is he may have a match against Chris Jericho.

T R U Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 There really cant be surprises in the Rumble because the main event at Wrestlemania is on the line. I don't really mind the way the rumble has gone in recent history, but I thought this one was one of the better rumbles in a while. There was a lot of star power in it this time, and usually my issue with it is there are a bunch of scrubs and maybe four legitimate people who could win, there was a bunch of high profile guys in this one though. And of course, Orton winning was awesome and pretty much made my night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Oh but I will add this I am not a fan of the Wrestler #1 gets eliminated by Wrestler #2 who was already eliminated.. Undertaker was eliminated by Big Show, but he had already been eliminated. I wish they wouldn't do things like that, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHizzle85 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 04:06 PM) Orton's winning the Rumble. Put money on it. I'll take my cookie please. Just watched the Rumble, quick thoughts. Swagger/Hardy was solid, my first time actually watching Swagger. JBL/Cena is the exact reason why I hate Cena's character. Jeff/Edge was the match of the night, didn't see the Matt heel turn coming whatsoever. Interesting to see how they'll work that. I'm surprised Jeff didn't blow his knees out on the ladder spot. Solid Rumble match, glad they pushed Legacy...still didn't think they'd go as far as they did as a unit. RVD caused me to mark out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
