Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted January 14, 2003 I'll start with my predictions: HHH vs. Steiner - World Heavyweight Title WINNER: HHH Angle vs. Benoit - WWE Title WINNER: Angle Dawn vs. Torrie WINNER: Dawn Dudleys vs. Storm/Regal - Tag Titles WINNERS: Dudleys Brock vs. Big Show WINNER: Brock Royal Rumble Match (w/ 60 sec. intervals) WINNER: Chris Jericho Well, here's mine. HHH vs. Steiner - World Heavyweight Title WINNER: Steiner I'm sorry, but I think a change of World Champions is needed here, and frankly, I really see Steiner winning this one. Angle vs. Benoit - WWE Title WINNER: Benoit Now a lot of people are wondering why I've Benoit to be slated as the WWE Champion, and frankly, I don't see Lesnar winning the Rumble (with Jericho planned to be #2) thus, this is the only way I can see him Main Eventing at Wrestle Mania. Dawn vs. Torrie WINNER: Torrie ...I don't give a damn about this match. AWFUL! Dudleys vs. Storm/Regal - Tag Titles WINNERS: Storm/Regal Sorry, but I doubt Storm/Regal are losing their Championship titles so soon to the Dudleys. Sure, Vince said he wants to see the Tables, but if I remember correctly, this is still a regular tag match. Meaning tables are illegal and I foresee the DQeth on the Dudleys. Brock vs. Big Show WINNER: Brock For Christ sakes... This is SO obvious it's not funny. Royal Rumble Match (w/ 60 sec. intervals) WINNER: Chris Jericho Sorry, but Lesnar is going to get screwed folks. It's that simple. That and I'd rather have Jericho winning. Call me bias. *Los Guerreros vs. Cena & B Squared - Tag Titles WINNERS: Los Guerreros Why did I included this match, even though it's not slated as part of the actual event? Cause I couldn't really understand why they are promoting these two teams if they aren't going to do so. *Edge vs A-train WINNER: Edge Another non-slated match that probably shall happen, except I'm not expecting much out of it. Yes, it'll be bad folks. Very bad. *Maven vs. Nowinski WINNER: Maven Yuppers, yet another one not slated (I'm preparing all possible outcomes folks). This one I see being the Main Event of Heat. Should be a decent contest with Maven finally getting Nowinski. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted January 14, 2003 HHH vs. Scott Steiner - World Heavyweight Title WINNER: Scott Steiner (but he'll lose it to HHH in a rematch at NWO..) Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit - WWE Title WINNER: Kurt Angle (As much as I want to see Benoit win, he won't..) Dawn vs. Torrie WINNER: Torrie...again..(I suppose its safe to say this is the end of the whole Dawn/Torrie/Al fiasco..??) Dudleys vs. Storm/Regal - Tag Titles WINNERS: Dudleys (this one is the most obvious of all the matches..) Brock vs. Big Show WINNER: Brock Lesnar (this is almost as obvious..Lesnar not being in the Royal Rumble would defeat all of the hype for the no title shot..gotta beat Big Show to get in and win the rumble to get a title shot scenario) Royal Rumble Match WINNER: Brock Lesnar (if Lesnar wins, you know you'll be getting Angle vs Lesnar..if Jericho wins then you know he loses his spot to HBK and you get HHH vs HBK again..)

Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted January 14, 2003 HHH vs. Steiner - World Heavyweight Title WINNER: Triple H Angle vs. Benoit - WWE Title WINNER: Angle Dawn vs. Torrie WINNER: Torrie Dudleys vs. Storm/Regal - Tag Titles WINNERS: Regal/Storm Brock vs. Big Show WINNER: Brock Royal Rumble Match (w/ 60 sec. intervals) WINNER: Brock Lesnar. (With NO Suprise Austin, Rock, Hogan, etc) Pretty Lackluster Card if I don't say so myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted January 14, 2003 Steiner's looked way to strong to win at the rumble. I'm going with Triple H, hoping the WWE tries to milk Steiner and wait on him winning if he's the only thing drawing right. Angle wins. Torrie should win and they need to ned this thing soon. Regal/Storm win. Dudleys are another thing they should wait on, til Mania. Tease it, have a different team fighting in February, Dudleys come back at Mania. Brock if they have any sense. Brock Lesnar wins the rumble. Jericho is last guy eliminated, with help from Michaels on the outside ala Hogan in 1992. Hopefully they start a slow double turn concluding at Mania.

Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted January 14, 2003 Boy, this is a pretty shitty card especially for one of the big 5 PPVs. I think the Rumble itself is ruined due to the stipulation that the winner will go on to main event Wrestlemania. That pretty much eliminates 27 or 28 of the participants from getting a serious chance to win the damn thing. So that means it will come down to Brock, HBK or Jericho and we all know if Jericho wins, he will lose his shot at No Way Out. As for my predictions: Torrie, Brock, Regal/Storm, Angle, HHH, and Mattitude to win the Rumble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Stephanie has been booked to look like a bitch so far, with Steiner coming out ahead of every confrontation. He'll win through Flair interference. Angle vs. Benoit - WWE Title -People would really cream themselves if Benoit won, But I say Angle. Dawn vs. Torrie -Doesn't matter, the audience loses. Dudleys vs. Storm/Regal -Dudleys Brock vs. Big Show -Brock. Royal Rumble Match -It would be the worst possible booking to have HBK win it, so I think he will.

Guest Angle-plex Report post Posted January 14, 2003 HHH vs. Steiner - World Heavyweight Title What I'd LIKE to see: Both guys tear their quads. Nash runs down, tears his quad, and is out of action for another 9 months What I WILL see: Steiner wins, but he doesn't win the belt Angle vs. Benoit - WWE Title: What I'd LIKE to see: A ***** match with a Benoit win (it would be unexpected) What I WILL see: Angle retains after Team Angle interference Dawn vs. Torrie What I'd LIKE to see: This storyline end What I WILL see: Torrie wins, hopefully ending this storyline Dudleys vs. Storm/Regal - Tag Titles What I'd LIKE to see: This match be cancelled What I WILL see: Storm/Regal retain Brock vs. Big Show What I'd LIKE to see: Show win be Team Angle interference What I WILL see: Brock wins~! Royal Rumble Match (w/ 60 sec. intervals) What I'd LIKE to see: HBK and Jericho last until the final two. Hrips helps Michaels, turning HBK heel. Jericho turns face, beats HBK for the #1 Contendership, then beats Hriple at WrestleMania (Bwahahahahaha!) What I WILL see: HBK wins, remaining face, then fighting Hrips at Mania Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Aero Report post Posted January 15, 2003 World Title- HHH vs. Scott Steiner Prediction: This is a toss-up for me. I'm thinking that we need a fresh, new World Champion, even if it is Steiner... but he's facing HHH, and he won't job to Steiner in his first TV match. Winner: HHH WWE Title- Kurt Angle vs. Chris Jericho Prediction: Angle needs to be built as a strong champion heading into WM for his match with Brock. I see Angle going over here cleanly to retain. Winner: Kurt Angle Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show Prediction: I don't think that Vince is even stupid enough to go for the "swerve" and give Show the win. Brock wins to finally blow-off his feud with Big Show. Winner: Brock World Tag Team Titles- Storm & Regal vs. Dudleys Prediction: Since Booker T & Goldust were already transitional champs, I don't see Storm & Regal doing the same. Plus, I'm really not up for yet another Dudley title reign. Champs retain. Winners: Storm & Regal Torrie vs. Dawn Marie Prediction: If WWE is so desperate for time, just scrap this. Let's hope THIS is the end of the angle. Torrie wins the blow-off. Winner: Torrie Royal Rumble Match Prediction: Although I'm tempted to say Jericho is coming out the winner, I'm going with the obvious and saying Brock gets the win, tossing HBK or Jericho. Damn, these 60 second intervals are going to kill the match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted January 15, 2003 HHH vs. Steiner - World Heavyweight Title WINNER: HHH I don't think Steiner will win after getting the better of Steiner for, what, 3 weeks? I think it will be a cheap win though... Angle vs. Benoit - WWE Title WINNER: Angle I don't see Benoit winning, as much as I would love it. Dawn vs. Torrie WINNER: Um....Torrie? Really, why should I care? Dudleys vs. Storm/Regal - Tag Titles WINNERS: Storm/Regal Some of Bish's cronnies will cost Dudleyz the titles. Brock vs. Big Show WINNER: Brock However, it would be interesting to see Big Show win... Royal Rumble Match (w/ 60 sec. intervals) WINNER: R...V...D! Hey, anything can happen...and Brock seems *way* too obvious to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, a lot of that depends on how bad Angle's knee is. It could be a ***** match, but only if Angle's knee is OK, and if the don't repeat the same spots as their previous 999999999 matches.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted January 15, 2003 HHH vs. Steiner - World Heavyweight Title HHH has been made to look like an idiot up to this point. So he'll win this match by interference or cheating. It will play up the Mind Games vs. Sheer Mindless Brutality that they seem to be doing with this feud. Steiner winning would actually be the wrong move at this point. HHH needs to screw him over at least once before Steiner wins. It would make for a better feud. WINNER: HHH Angle vs. Benoit - WWE Title Brock interference will lead to a no contest or dq victory for Angle. WINNER: Angle Dawn vs. Torrie Dawn will win to continue ths awful awful storyline. I can also see Al returning from the dead at some point before the feud ends. WINNER: Dawn Dudleys vs. Storm/Regal - Tag Titles Storm/Regal won't lose the belts at this point. It won't be a clean win. WINNERS: Storm/Regal Brock vs. Big Show Team Angle will give Big Show an assist on the win. WINNER: Big Show Royal Rumble Match I smell WWE trying to distract us with the HBK/Jericho stuff so that Brock winning isn't as predictable. HBK, Jericho and Brock will be the last three guys. HBK and Jericho will agree to work on Brock together. Team Angle(minus Angle) will interfere and accidently knock HBK and Jericho over the top rope which will result in HBK and Jericho fighting each other back to the backstage area. WINNER: Brock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted January 15, 2003 EL Satanico -- How can Brock win the Rumble if Big Show beats him earlier in the night? As for me, I double that. I really don't get how Brock can win the RR if he can't be in it. As for why I'm saying they are changing the whole face of how things are done (the SWIRVING people), is because didn't Bish just get told he's only got 30 days? Meaning, we'll be seeing some swirving. Maybe not everything on that I said would happen (or in that same said context), but I think that most of the Raw (hell the whole RR except a single match is from Raw, and I don't count the Show vs. Lesnar a match) matches will have some swirve to them. Hell, the only swirve I wanna see happen out of all the Raw matches is Jericho winning the Rumble. Seeing as Jericho is still hunting his second title reign down (this guy IS a Main Eventer people ... ok, supposedly), whereas Lesnar is to- OH HELL! I SEE THE SWIRVE! Remember that one RR long ago, when both the Rock and Austin (at least I think it was those two) both got eliminated but no one could tell who the hell touched the ground first? Thus no one could be assured who goes onto face the Champion? Well, that could happen this time too! And then we get a match between these two guys to see who faces their respected Champion. ...yet, that means Jericho gets his ass handed to him by Lesnar! WAH~! ...or Jericho could legitly get a pin or submission on Lesnar and be able to call himself the very first person to do so! OMG, that would be like a huge ass push for Jericho! WOOO!!! ...I think up some damned silly swirving, don't I? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
