DA Baracus Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Last year's rumble, DA Baracus, myself and a couple of others sat down to watch the event. After some beers had been consumed, I thought it would be a brilliant idea if we all made lists of which order we thought the participants would enter and who would win. Imagine my disappointment when Chris Benoit didn't enter 6th! Good times. Nation Of Domination! Your list was a total disgrace though, you vile, vile man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD1711 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Hopefully we get a couple of decent surprise entrants this year. JBL and Godfather were a pure waste this year, think they both got laid out within seconds. My favourite surprise entrance has got to be Jericho in 2013 at #2, was brilliant. Cena's comeback was amazing too, totally unexpected and Triple H's face is a picture when his music hits. Best elimination for me in the RR was when Rikishi eliminated Too Cool in 2000 after dancing with them. Think it took 6 men to eventually get Rikishi out. Fucking love a Royal Rumble. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x31nwf_wwe-too-cool-dance-rikishi-scotty-2_news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, you could easily build a feud on Goldust vs Cody on Goldust eliminating Cody. Then admission of his feelings of jealousy etc about his younger brother once the story progresses.

We Are Pars Fans! Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 It's so obvious that Reigns is going to win that it kills the ppv for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 The rumble itself should be fun though. Even knowing a result of such a match can't kill it for me. It's all about the road to the destination, rather than the destination itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Of course it kills the match. Same old panoramic WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Knowing who is likely to win kills it to an extent, but it's all about how they force you to suspend your disbelief. One of my favourite RRs recently was the one (2011?) when Santino made the final 2 with ADR. Everyone knew there was no way he would win it, but the way they built him into the final 2 made you think "Maybe, just maybe...", and that is what the RR is all about. Wonder which legend will get a wee run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Reigns wins the Rumble, Cena beats Lesnar, Rollins cashes in and wins the Championship, Reigns then opts for a match with Rollins in the next PPV and wins the Championship. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk89 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Kurt Angle to win the rumble, it's a pipe dream but I'll be in denial until Reigns eliminates the last man. The sooner Vince takes a step back from creative and allows the same levels of freedom HHH and co get with NXT the better. NXT's ppv last month was incredible, and no where near as predictable as what's going on in the main roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I called Bryan winning the Rumble months ago so I'll stick with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Not a BAD bet. I still don't think it's likely, but I certainly think it's not a ridiculously long shot either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Apart from Reigns, Bryan is the only other one that could win the rumble. I can't see a case for wwe giving it to anyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Ambrose might be an outside bet, but I think the other way they could do it (if not Reigns) would be to have Triple H come in at number 30, win it, then challenge Cena for his right to bring back The Authority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Not a chance of HHH winning it. I'd be surprised if he was in it at all. The point of winning it is for the title shot at Mania. Always has been, always will be. They don't need to waste the Rumble on HHH challenging Cena to bring back The Authority. Pretty sure HHH will be facing Sting at Mania anyway. Reigns is almost definitely winning it. Ambrose and Bryan are outsiders. Ziggler and Wyatt are the only others who could be in with some sort of miniscule chance.

Ira Gaines Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Triple H could be in it and Sting could get involved, but that's the only chance of HHH involvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Are Pars Fans! Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Ambrose has no chance, he gets beaten almost every match he's had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2000 Rumble was absolutely excellent from start to finish, except Mae Youngs tits. Still watch the Street Fight when I'm hungover and just looking through YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 To be fair, the actual Rumble match was probably worse than about the next 12 ones that followed. It wasn't that great, which is shocking given the number of interesting characters at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 1. Best Rumble of all time - 2002 2. Best Rumble Elimination - Rikishi punting out Too Cool after dancing with them in 2000 3. Worst Rumble Elimination - Mil Mascaras in 1997 4. Best Rumble spot - The Hurricane trying to double chokeslam HHH and Stone Cold in 2002 5. Someone who should have won rumble that now never will (i.e retired/dead etc) - CM Punk 6. Someone that shouldn't have won the rumble - Alberto Del Rio 7. Best Rumble surprise entrant - Chris Jericho in 2013. Just edging out Mr Perfect in 2002 8. What surprise entrant would you would mark out for the most if you heard their music at the 2015 Rumble - Assuming you're talking about realistic options, The Hurricane 9. If Reigns got injured again before the Rumble, who do you think WWE would have win it and go on to Mania? - Ambrose or Ziggler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
