WWE Royal Rumble Thread *Includes Spoilers*

[Sanchez]

from what ive read, the WWE want to give him one last run with the strap before he retires

i think thats the plan for many such as flair and micheals

 

[thuganomics]

Umaga's character in my opinion is awsome. He is fairly decent in the ring as well, and with Estrada at his side makes him quite interesting during promos.

 

[Stonecutter]

Taker missed his shot at a title match on Smachdown so maybe they're setting him up witha RR win???

 

[Misanthrope]

The dude has been a rock for the WWE, from what ive read, the WWE want to give him one last run with the strap before he retires, which is not far away

Please, his retirement is hinted at every year, only for him to return and claim the main event spotlight as soon as he returns. I'll never forgive him for ruining the 2006 Royal Rumble just so he could make an entrance.

And I fail to see why his Wrestlemania Streak wouldn't be used to give a superstar the rub. That's what these kinds of streaks are for. They have no legitimate value, and him retiring with it will do nobody but him any good. He should have dropped it to Orton.

 

[Sanchez]

orton didnt want to end it

 

[Misanthrope]

But my point stands. Somebody should. What good does a streak do for anyone if it's not broken by somebody?

 

[Sanchez]

the glory of having the streak

 

[Parra_Eels]

kane or edge will break takers streak

personally im open to either idea
i think ending the streak could really do something for a bloke like Ken Kennedy or even to a lesser degree an Edge
But on the same note, given what the undertaker has done for the WWE (even when the rock and SCSA were carving it up, the taker was still doing his bit) i wouldnt begrudge them for letting him keep that streak

 

[PARANoIR]

I don't mind Umaga's character either, he's definitely something different for the Main Event scene.

I've got a suspicion that JBL will make his return in the Rumble, as will Mark Henry, and hopefully someone like Chris Jericho. Rumours of Rey Mysterio being in it are floating around too.

 

[Raider_69]

Could totally dig JBL coming back in the rumble and doing big damage, i didnt like while he was champion but after his reign i came to really look back and dig him

 

[PARANoIR]

Yeah same, I hated him during his reign, but I love him now. Id love to see him come back and have the rumble start a feud with someone.

 

[Sanchez]

smackdown needs him as a wrestler

Your right umaga is different for sure nobody doubts that but i dunno i think as a good guy umaga would be bearable but as a bad guy i think everyone is just gettin sick of it.

Jbl i could see coming back as long as his back is better henry possibly as well but i cant see y2j coming back you would have to assume rey is back even tohugh it seems a bit quick but why else would he be in the poster.

 

[Sanchez]

too soon for henry in terms of injury recovery i believe

 

[PARANoIR]

Henry needed 6 months, and he was injured in June. It's possible, but the final 3 entrants of the rumble have been announced anyway. Dud.

Edge and Orton will be the final two, with Orton winning the rumble match. Yep, I flip flopped.

 

[Sanchez]

i like them leaving spots open for surprises

 

[Parra_Eels]

it has got to be undertaker, hbk or orton

 

[110kgpantherpower]

HA ha i say none of them

 

[griffo346]

Vince should be in the rumble haha
