Actually, the source for that story is apparently some Chris Hyatte (sp?).. I don't think the WWE or Bob Orton would have been THAT stupid and careless...

 

[Agent TBY]

Cowboy Bob apparently contracted it as a teen, and forgot about it for 35+ years.

Monday 24th April

Is anyone interested in coming to watch WWE smackdown on Monday 24th April in Cardiff, UK? I'm very much up for it


Haha, got to dig this Finlay fellow! He's like an English Chav and he's been disqualified twice in a row, and has managed to **** everyone off!

Yeah you are right, this year it's quite different. In the past we've always known who was going to win the Rumble (2002 - Triple H coming back from injury, 2003 - Brock Lesnar, 2004 - Chris Benoit going in at number 1 etc.) But this time, a lot of people can win and a lot of different options can be explored.

Option 1: Rey Mysterio

With Eddie's recent death, I think the fans would love Rey to win the Rumble and face Kurt Angle for the Championship at Wrestlemania and thus winning his first ever Championship belt and dedicating it o Eddie.

Option 2: Randy Orton

After the failed push in 2004, Orton's probably going to get another shot at the top spot. He's one of those guys who you love to hate, but he is improving. As long as he's heel, it's fine with me.

Option 3: Triple H

This is probably the safest option the WWE will pull out. Triple H in a main event, it's been done before, but it leads to some interesting possibilities. Triple H vs Edge for the WWE Championship or Triple H vs Kurt Angle. Two matches we haven't seen in the recent past, and two matches that will mean big money.

Option 4: Rob Van Dam?

Coming back, he's going to get a huge pop, but seriously this one is a bit far fetched. I doubt he'd win the Rumble. But I listed it, because I'd love to see it happen.

Option 5: The Undertaker?

It's been noted that the Undertaker has said that he'd love to face Kurt Angle for the World Heavyweight Championship one last time before he retires and have one last good run with the title. He deserves it for mine, after being such a great performer for so long.

There's probably more options, but expect WWE to play it safe and give the Rumble to either Orton, Triple H or Mysterio. Either way, I think all three guys winning can make for some entertaining television.

Nice summary, and your probably right. In the old royal rumbles before the brand split, the royal rumble was really good for suprises. Old, injured or wrestlers coming from another brand were usually in the royal rumble. Are all 15 members from each brand known yet?

 

[Agent TBY]

No, they're not. I expect a surprise entrant, handpicked by Vince to screw Shawn over at #30.

I'm gonna buy it mate, and these are the reason:

- The Rumble match always delivers, even if the winners are pretty obvious at the start.

- We get to see Angle wrestle

- I wanna see if the Boogeyman can cut it in the ring, because his other work is first-rate.

Just invite some mates over and split the cost. It should be a fun arvo in

Well I ordered it today mate, after much deliberation. I feel a little upset parting with my $30 and I really hope it lives up to my expectations.
