It's official: Royal Rumble will suck

[Guest rawmvp]

Meltzer has confirmed the following:

 

Brock Lesnar vs. Bob holly - WWE Title

 

Triple H vs. Kane - World Heavyweight Title

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

And expect Taker to come and cost Kane.

[Guest rawmvp]

and expect Randy Orton to win the Rumble, setting up the most anticipated match in sports entertainment history -- Orton vs. HHH at WrestleMania XX!!!

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

No... its really down to Benoit or Goldberg. Orton has the IC title.

[Guest Frank Grimes]

It's about time I main event a PPV. Me = Ratings.

Holly's old name is very crowd friendly: "SPARK PLUG! SPARK PLUG! SPARK PLUG!"

 

I see no reason as to why he shouldn't win the belt now.

 

UYI

[Lil' Bitch 0]

I'm actually looking forward to HHH / Kane. Unfortunately, Kane won't win

Spoiler (Highlight to Read):

because of The Undertaker

even though I'd like him to.

Brock Lesnar vs. Bob holly - WWE Title

 

Triple H vs. Kane - World Heavyweight Title

If Benoit's not in a title match, it could mean he might win the Rumble .....or be stuck in a tag with the FBI.

And if not, well, there's always No Way Out.

Chris Jericho vs Christian seems certain.

Meltzer has confirmed the following:

 

Brock Lesnar vs. Bob holly - WWE Title

 

Triple H vs. Kane - World Heavyweight Title

When did he he confirm this? I know he did before but I wondering how rescent it was since it was being reported that the Torch was just saying that the Benoit vs Lesnar match was back on for the Rumble.

 

 

 

Orton's going to win the Rumble. The WWE likes him more than HHH, Austin and all the hosses combined together.

Wow.. and the Rumble is in Philly. That chant actually might have a chance of getting started in the CoreState/First Union/Wachovia/Not The Spectrum Center

I thought I read that Holly vs Lesnar was just going to be a TV feud, with no match on PPV.

 

Where'd that go...

I'd say "then Benoit better go to Mania as challenger" but who the hell cares at this point?

I hoped I'd never have to use this smiley, but here goes:

Lesnar-Holly=easy bathroom break selection.

[Guest Ghettoman]

Yes, a PPV will surely suck before it happens simply because Meltz says so.

 

I still think he should change his name to Shepard.....

At least this year the rumble has two very realistic possible winners (Benoit & Goldberg) as opposed to the last couple years of dead certs - Brock & Triple H.

This is more like 2001's Rumble where Austin Vs. Rocky was hard to call.

The January 6th SD! taping is in Huntsville, Alabama.

From Last Week:

 

WWE gave Evolution all the gold at Armageddon as a way to push the babyface side of the RAW division. Giving all the belts to one heel group, in theory, gives the top faces something to rally around and go after. With Mick Foley and Steve Austin gone for now, the top faces seem to be Rob Van Dam, Shawn Michaels, Booker T, and possibly Chris Jericho.

 

 

Ah, yes. Let's put Kane - the superface - into the title match. So let's see: The Raw Title Match has two heels facing each other - which typically doesn't work. And the Smackdown Title Match has a strong heel going against a face that nobody even cares about.

 

Shit, I'm glad I didn't buy tickets to this thing....

[Sonic Reducer 0]

Benoit should win the Rumble.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

I don't care if most people think this Royal RUmble will suck or not.

 

I'll enjoy it just because it's the first PPV I'm going to live.

 

Plus, I've been to worse. I was at the Raw with Goldberg/Christian in a cage and Jericho/Nash.

[The Tino Standard 0]

Well, traditionally the Rumble has been a PPV I've ordered or at least found somewhere to watch no matter what. Last year, I invited a bunch of people over for a Rumble pool (always a favorite).

 

This year, I was torn on whether to watch the Rumble or go the Linkin Park/POD/Hoobastank/Story of the Year show in Columbus.

 

Thank you, WWE. You have made my decision easy.

He didn't say it would suck, he said those two would be the title matches.

He's gay?

 

I think your poor spelling botched your weak joke.

 

Plus, I've been to worse. I was at the Raw with Goldberg/Christian in a cage and Jericho/Nash.

 

Those weren't too bad, I think. Plus, JERICHO WON!!

[Those weren't too bad, I think. Plus, JERICHO WON!!

No, you're thinking of their later Hair vs. Hair match.

 

This was before Nash's first PPV where he fought Trips for the title. It had a no deciscion, I believe.

[Betty Houle 0]

As much as I don't want to see Kane-HHH, it's the most logical match.

 

I can't defend Brock-Hardcore though...

I'd rewatch Diesel-King Mabel before I went to THAT particular show!

Wow Holly vs. Lesnar could be the most dissapointing PPV Title match since Big Show vs. Bossman at Armageddon a few years back

[CanadianChick 0]

Kane vs. HHH? I'm actually a bit surprised by that. I thought Kane would be the monster in the Rumble, tossing out half the guys, before getting elminated by either whoever wins, or a surprise entrant, the Undertaker. Oh well. At least the actual Rumble will be good.

[Guest The Winter Of My Discontent]

Now where are the Hardcore Holly drones? His match with Lesnar added an extra amount of suck to turn even more viewers off from getting the PPV.
