WWE Royal Rumble 2011 *SPOILERS*

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

With the 40 man Rumble, while it will run longer, I don't think it will go for as long as some people think. I reckon one of the two mid card titles will go on the line, probably the IC Title since it's getting the bigger push of the two.

 

[Marshall_magic]

The match will go for well over an hour. 38 ninety second intervals takes 57 minutes alone, after the last guy comes in it will take another 10-15 minutes to wrap up (depending on how many guys are still in the ring when the last guy enters). Throw in your rumble promos (drawing numbers etc), celebrations entrances for 1 and 2, and you've already eaten up 90 minutes of the PPV.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

The reason I think it won't be much longer than a typical 30 man Rumble is because the WWE is often "creative" with the length of the 90 second interval.

 

[Marshall_magic]

they probably will cut some time off, but I can't see the match lasting less than about 1 hour 10 minutes.

 

[Bulldog Force]

I guess we'll have to wait and see how long the intervals are then. I can't really see them making them any shorter (too many wrestlers coming out too soon) or longer (too time wasting).

 

[Marshall_magic]

Natalya vs Lay-Cool has been added to the card.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Woopee. Are there any other options rather than Diva's Champ vs Lay-Cool for a PPV?

 

[Westernised Panther]

People who competed in a world title match to my knowledge never backed up in a Rumble match, the only time I can remember it happening is Angle taking someone out and stealing their spot.

The only one I can think of, which comes close, is Roddy Piper backing up in the Royal Rumble of '92 after winning the Intercontinental Championship against The Mountee

I mean World Heavyweight or WWE title, they to my knowledge never back up except for the one time Angle 'stole' some one elses spot.

I'm thinking Kong will debut during or after that match.

I'm hoping she doesn't side with those two, the only reason LayCool get the rub is because of who McCool is married to.

 

[Bulldog Force]

FFS I'm so sick of Laycool.

My bad, I didn't even think I just carried on from the post I quoted.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

so 3 more suprise entrants i guess looking up for a good rumble

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Spoiler: Suprise Rumble Entrants

Well this f**ks over TNA's return of the Main Event Mafia. They are left with Angle, Scott Steiner, and probably Sting, with Crimson as the new blood

 

[pennywisealfie]

holy crap, did u guys see the creative recall site just before? it said he had reason to believe that Goldberg would be in the rumble and would win it. and then it was taken down just now. crazy stuff!!!

 

[Marshall_magic]

Won't happen, if a surprise entrant that wins it tomorrow, it will be HHH, although I am 95% sure Punk, Cena or Del Rio will win it.
