Royal Rumble Card (so far...)

Randy Orton(c) vs Jeff Hardy - WWE Championship

Edge vs Rey Mysterio - World Heavyweight Championship

JBL vs Chris Jericho

MVP vs Ric Flair

Royal Rumble Match - Winner is announced so after he outlasts 29 other men by throwing his opponent over the top rope so that two feet hit the floor. The winner earns himself a shot at the World Heavyweight title or the WWE title at Wrestlemania.

add Edge Vs Rey Mysterio for the World Championship

PeteRoe · 9th January 2008, 03:48 PM

There we are, an updated card.

JBL vs Jericho might be alright I reckon. I am a JBL mark.

i think the wwe roster is the weakest it has been in yrs, to many top stars out injured,i think they will push kennedy for a wreslemania main event, so i,m tipping him for the rumble,

PeteRoe · 9th January 2008, 06:09 PM

Yeah, the roster is not the best it has ever been. Seriously lacking a mid card but I bet ya if they merged the rosters, we would have one hell of a main event every time with all the guys they have there.

Anyways, a new match has been added.

MVP vs Ric Flair in a career threatning match whereby if Ric Flair loses, he must retire.

RiseAgainst · 9th January 2008, 07:54 PM

i think Batista will win the rumble. Triple H will win the Elimination Chamber at No Way Out

Triple H Vs Orton at Mania will be the main event.

PeteRoe · 10th January 2008, 06:07 PM

Yeah Orton vs HHH may well be the main event. Struggle to see what else on the RAW side could be it.

Edge V Undertaker hopefully for Smackdown...Edge rocks the house!

RiseAgainst · 10th January 2008, 07:52 PM

i think Edge Vs Taker is a good call to go on the title Vs streak thing, although thats what they did last year.

i hope Kane gets a good run this year as well in the rumble.

PeteRoe · 11th January 2008, 12:07 AM

Yeah Edge/Taker also has not really been done before. Sure they have faced each other but that was back in the Edge and Christian days.

It is a fresh main event and I am all for that.

RiseAgainst · 12th January 2008, 02:18 PM

Edge Vs Taker was done about 2 months go on Smackdown, albeit with Dancing Dave doing his thing around it too...

as long as Khali/Henry/Big Daddy V have nothing to do with it im all for it

Boogeyman to win the world title would be awesome :P

PeteRoe · 17th January 2008, 11:46 PM

Did anyone see Jeffs swanton this week?

It was off the hook!

RiseAgainst · 18th January 2008, 12:00 AM

would have been better had it not been to an obvious crash mat, the post swanton camera shots kinda showeed it up i thought.

still pretty amazing, although after HHH Vs Snitsky anything looks good.

PeteRoe · 24th January 2008, 12:54 PM

Right, Rumble this Sunday.

Who is taking it?

Undertaker I reckon. I know it will be two years in a row but it makes the most sense for Wrestlemania if it is going to be him versus Edge....which I hope it is.

I think the undercard to this is quite good actually. Would of liked Miz and Morrison to be on it though. I mark for Miz.

RiseAgainst · 24th January 2008, 01:15 PM

Miz & Morrison are in the rumble, doubt they could pull off two appearances in one show.

Undertaker won it last year, so doubt he will take it again. i think CM Punk will be there until near the end, but have a feeling Triple H will win, but itll be a dirty finish

PeteRoe · 24th January 2008, 10:56 PM

Yeha I meant Miz and Morrison in a tag match against Yang and Moore.

I like the mix of them 4.
