Anybody who's watched WWE for a while will know where the Rumble is going. Flair obviously will win his match. Kennedy will eliminate HBK. Triple H will win the Rumble- and I am NOT a HHH mark, so I am objectively stating this is what I think will happen. It's bloody obvious, because EVERY year (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TAKER LAST YEAR), they present the Rumble winner as the ultimate underdog. HHH had to beat 3 men to qualify. The emphasis has been so focused on HHH it's not even funny. I wouldn't be suprised if Regal hires some superstars to beat the hell out of HHH during the Rumble, and he is "out of it" until the end, when miraculously he recovers and wins, against all odds. Again I must stress this is not neccecarily what I want to happen. I am neutral when it comes to Hunter, I either take him or leave him. As for the title match, I think Orton will take it. Again, I am neutral towards Orton too. I think he makes an excellent heel, but a weak WWE champion. But Jeff has been beating the hell out of Orton so much recently, and just even the way JR says "Can you Imagine what Jeff Hardy is willing to do to win..." tells me that he won't. Besides, I cannot see how WWE can promote Hardy as a genuine WM main eventer. All you Hardy fans will no doubt hate on me, but it's true. I like Hardy, he is a great talent, but not someone I would want as WWE champion tbh. JBL vs Jericho: Jericho I think. Because of the way JBL attacked Jericho on RAW, and how Chris is out for revenge, I think this will be a crowd pleasing finish, with submission via the Walls of Jericho. I think both these guys are great though. Jericho is probarbly my 2nd favourite Wrestler of all time, after HBK. Edge vs Rey Mysterio: I think Edge will win. Again, I love both these guys. I don't think WWE is prepared to let Mysterio take the title into WM. I just don't think they could pull it off, making Rey a credible WM main eventer. Plus, Edge only won it at Armageddon, and this-far all of his reigns have been too short. I expect Edge to FINALLY main-event WM this year tbh. Which I can't wait for, because he is one of my favourite wrestlers too. I know I rarely post like this, but I thought I would share my views and hopefully get some feedback =] No hating please, these are just opinions based upon what I know- I've been watching WWE since 2001... I would Love to be proved wrong though, because unpredictability is a good thing Guesses for final four? Triple H, Undertaker, Batista, Bobby Lashley (Open for debate)

I was hoping Undertaker would win the title at Armageddon, and Edge would win the Rumble. Yeah, and they could have done the Major Brothers thing in the rumble instead of at Armageddon, and imagine Rey/Taker, holy sh*t. I really love your idea about how WWE should've waited until the Rumble to change the Major Brothers to the Edgeheads. It would've been sweet to have Edge win the rumble. And I agree, Taker v. Rey would be so sweet to watch. How come they haven't done that yet? Taker needs to be heel in that match, I don't see Rey as a heel.

I'm almost considering not ordering the rumble so I can afford the new HHH jersey instead, but I think i'm going to go for the rumble, and get the jersy at the end of February.
I'm hoping CM Punk wins the rumble and takes on Edge at Mania, with Orton defending against Jericho in a rematch from Armageddon.
Then have Triple H & Ric Flair vs Vince McMahon & William Regal & Big Show at Mania.

It's either going to be Taker or HHH winning the rumble. I'd rather see Taker win it, but I have a feeling HHH will be winning it, like he needs a rumble win.

I could see a raw superstar winning it and then something goes down where the winner has to defend his spot at No Way Out in the rumored match going around.
While on Smackdown, Vickie Guererro announces a tournament to determine the number one contender which will conclude at No Way Out. Seeing the current story between Punk and Edge, I say Punk gets the win in the tournament and faces Edge at Mania.

If the number one contender match at No Way Out really is an Elimination Chamber featuring three superstars from the two brands that didn't win the Rumble, it only makes sense for Punk to win.
ECW doesn't have three main event level guys that can compete realistically with Raw or Smackdown main eventers.
Therefore, if Punk wins the Rumble, Raw guy wins the chamber, Punk transfers to Smackdown, main events for Mania are taken care of.

Typed this up for the other Rumble post on the board, figured I'd share it here as well. This is essentially how I'd book the Rumble on Sunday if I had control... Opening Match: Ric Flair defeats MVP to become the new United States ChampionMy initial thought was to give Flair the nod by disqualification, but I think MVP has pretty much run his course as U.S. Champion, and he's got quite a few other options over on Smackdown. Flair, on the other hand, has nothing better to do, so I suppose putting the title on him couldn't hurt. I do, however, think it should be a cheap win to make MVP look good. MVP goes for the Playmaker, Flair breaks away from it, around the back of MVP into a school boy and a handful of tights for the three count. Backstage, JBL is standing with Maria. He cuts a basic hype promo, cutting down Jericho and saying that if Jericho wants him to finish the job, there's no one better to do it than JBL. Most notably, we learn that the match has been made a no disqualification bout.
Ric Flair is shown coming to the back being congratulated by several Raw, Smackdown and ECW superstars. He thanks them, and wishes them good luck in the Rumble match. On his way to his locker room, he runs in Jeff Hardy. Flair tells Hardy that tonight is his night and that someone needs to take Randy Orton off of his pedestal.
Batista is shown in Vince McMahon's office, drawing his Rumble number from the bin. He shows little emotion as he draws. A distraught MVP follows behind him, demanding a rematch with Flair. McMahon instead, grants him a spot in the Royal Rumble match. Batista and MVP stare each other down.
Build up for JBL/Jericho is shownNo Disqualification Match - Chris Jericho defeats JBL by submissionI made this bout no disqualification, as I suspect it would add a lot of flare to the match given their recent confrontations. JBL will dominate most of the match, Jericho occasionally getting in some big spots to even out the playing field. I would have JBL beat down Jericho pretty heavily in the ring and connect with a fall-away slam on Jericho onto a chair. JBL, rather than pinning, makes the mistake of waiting for Jericho to stand. Y2J staggers to his feet and JBL charges for the Clothesline From Hell, but Jericho ducks down and pulls JBL's legs out from underneath him, back landing on the steel chair. Jericho quickly turns Layfield over, locking in the Walls of Jericho for a submission victory after much struggle. JBL throws a fit at ringside after the match, kicking the ring steps and banging the steel chair around.
Backstage, Triple H enters Vince McMahon's office to draw a number for the Royal Rumble. He exchanges brief glances and words with Vince and Regal as he draws his number. Just as he's opening his ball, Shawn Michaels enters the room and draws a number as well. Both HBK and Triple H snicker as they look at their numbers, and then realize that they are standing next to each other. The two wish each other good luck, but there is an obvious tension in the air given the circumstances. Vince and Regal laugh to themselves that maybe we'll see DX breakdown tonight.
We move to Vicki Guerrero's office, where she claims to have a very important announcement regarding the World Heavyweight Championship match, scheduled to take place next. Vicki announces that because she cannot trust his aggressive behavior, she feels that it is in the interest of fairness to ban CM Punk from ringside during the World Title match. Vicki claims that if Punk enters the ringside area, he will be removed from the Royal Rumble match. She makes no mention, however, of the Edgeheads or Chavo Guerrero.
Build video for Edge/Mysterio is shownEdge defeats Rey Mysterio to retain the World Heavyweight ChampionshipVery back and forth match full of some solid technical wrestling and high spots. Edge hits the Edgecution at the end of the match for a near fall and loses his cool and brings a chair into the ring. The referee fights with Edge over the chair as Mysterio slowly returns to his feet. It is then Chavo Guerrero begins coming towards the ringside area, though Mysterio's back is turned to him. Edge finally slides the chair out of the ring but is dropkicked right into the ropes. Mysterio calls out to the crowd and runs for the 619. Shortly after the dropkick, the Edgeheads enter the ringside area through the crowd and begin to distract the referee. As Mysterio hits the ropes, Chavo blindsides him with a steel chair shot to the back. The Edgeheads immediately leave and the referee turns back around to see Mysterio slowly returning to his feet after the chair shot, and Edge stalking his prey. Edge connects with the spear and gets a three count, retaining his title. After the match, Vicki Guerrero rushes to the ring to congratulate Edge and celebrate with he, Chavo, and the Edgeheads over the fallen body of Rey Mysterio.Mickie James is seen in the back, entering the women's locker room. She finds the Women's Champion, Beth Phoenix and demands one more match with her tomorrow night on Raw. Beth refuses, laughing her off, saying that she's beaten her too many times to even bother wasting her time. Mickie leaves the locker room feeling dejected and is visibly angry.
Camera returns to Vince McMahon's office where Umaga has just drawn his Royal Rumble number and William Regal is helping him comprehend it. Several other superstars enter and draw their numbers. Finally, the door bursts open and WWE Champion, Randy Orton enters. Vince McMahon seems aggravated with Orton for coming into the Rumble drawing, but Orton doesn't care. Randy makes it clear that Vince should have extra paramedics on duty tonight in New York, because the regular load won't be able to take care of Jeff Hardy's injuries after Randy is done with him.
Jeff Hardy/Randy Orton Build Up VideoRandy Orton defeats Jeff Hardy to retain the WWE ChampionshipThe purpose of this match should be to build both Randy and Jeff, give Orton the big nod going into Wrestlemania but also make Jeff Hardy look very good in the process. Very evenly paced, back and forth encounter. Hardy obtains several near falls and escapes the grasp of the RKO on several occasions. To finish the match, Jeff connects with a Twist of Fate on Randy Orton. The crowd goes wild has Hardy climbs to the top rope and signals for the Swanton Bomb. Hardy dives, but Randy gets his knees up to block the blow at the very last second. Hardy rolls around on the canvas in pain while Randy stalks his prey. Hardy stands slowly and Randy turns in for the RKO, Hardy, however, shoves him off, kicks Orton in the gut and sets him up for another Twist of Fate. Hardy is ready to spin when Orton cuts underneath him and connects with a surprise RKO. Orton makes a quick cover to retain his Championship. Orton grabs a mic and explains to Hardy that he never stood a chance, and that Jeff can watch Randy main event Wrestlemania while he's at home recouping from the injuries he's about to be given. Orton sizes up Hardy, Championship in hand. Jeff stands and Randy clocks him with the belt. Orton isn't finished, however. As Jeff slowly stands, Orton gets ready for the vicious kick to the face. Orton charges, but Hardy moves, and Orton instead gets caught in the ropes. Jeff grabs the championship and clocks Orton in the head with it. He rolls him outside of the ring and throws Orton on top of the Smackdown announce table. Jeff climbs to the top rope and delivers a devastating leg drop onto a prone Orton below, driving him through the table.
We see a video of past Royal Rumble winners and how they've gone on to win the title at Wrestlemania
In Vince's office, WWE's three general managers, William Regal, Vicki Guerrero, and Armando Estrada, argue as to which brand is going to claim Royal Rumble glory this year.
Maria approaches Jeff Hardy for comments on what we saw moments ago. Hardy says he feels like he let himself down, but what he did after the match was done for his brother Matt. He says his issues with Randy are far from resolved.Annual 30-Man Royal Rumble MatchIdeally, the final five will come down to Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Mr. Kennedy, CM Punk, and Batista. The Undertaker is eliminated just prior to the final five by taking both Big Daddy V and Mark Henry up and over the top rope, both of whom entered late in the match. Taker's momentum sends them both flying over, but sends him over as well. The Undertaker battles Big Daddy V and Mark Henry to the back as the final five do battle. Ken Kennedy is eliminated next, after getting cocky for taking down Shawn Michaels with a low blow, Kennedy show boats around the ring, but is clotheslined over the top rope by Batista. Shawn Michaels returns to his feet and he and Triple H stare each other down, but soon make a verbal agreement to work together. Batista takes Punk down with a huge Spinebuster and is blindsided by the temporary formation of DX. Triple H hits his former Evolution partner with a high knee and holds him up for HBK to go for the Sweet Chin Music. Michaels tunes up the band and hops forward, but Batista breaks free and Michaels ends up planting his boot on the chin of Triple H. The blow sends the Game backwards over the top rope to the floor. Michaels stands shocked and Batista scoops HBK over the top rope to bring us down to our final two. Batista turns around and begins to beat down the weakened CM Punk. Batista starts to get a bit arrogant, thinking he has the match won. he sets Punk up for the Batista Bomb, and carries Punk over to the side of the ring to send him over the top. Punk, with a sudden burst of energy, throws himself backwards and carries Batista over the top rope with a hurricanrana counter. Punk barely holds onto the bottom rope, but manages to keep his feet off of the floor. Winner of the 2008 Royal Rumble: CM PunkThis scenario sets up a pretty basic scenario to follow for No Way Out... #1 Contender Elimination Chamber Match (3 Raw Superstars, 3 Smackdown Superstars) Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Ken Kennedy vs. Batista vs. The Undertaker vs. (preferably MVP) WWE Championship Match Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy Some sort of stipulation attached to this one - Rey Mysterio & CM Punk vs. Edge & Chavo Guerrero

Now that would be a show worth ordering! Although the match between Flair/MVP isn't for the title. It's just another "Career Threatening Match."

I dont see how the arguement that Jeff Hardy is only by his spots hold any water?
I fail to see your point. Every wrestle does something to get themselves over. You're not going to get over just on pure mat wrestling. How do the cruiserweights get over? How did Hulk get over? Certianly not by his impress wrestling skills. Every wrestle does something to get over and to hate on a guy just because he does one thing not only makes you look like a jackass, but an envious jackass because I know half of you wish orton got the same cheers from the crowd
