Maybe him and Spanky will do a Kaientai run-in

I dunno. Secretly I'm just praying for Bossman to be in it

Bossman rules, thats why!

 

With the brand extension, I seriously doubt you're going to see the guys that don't get on the main shows in the thing. So don't hold out hope for Ultimo, Spanky, Kanyon, or London (who has yet to have a non squash on Smackdown yet BTW). Akio and Sakoda have a better chance than those guys... shoot I would be worried about Matt Hardy myself.

 

My Guesses?

RAW

1) Booker T

2) Kane

3) Randy Orton

4) Batista

5) Ric Flair

6) Mark Henry

7) RVD

8) Bubba Ray Dudley

9) D-Von Dudley

10) Rene Dupree

12) Rob Conway

13) Chris Jericho

14) Christian

15) Matt Hardy

 

SmackDown

1) Chris Benoit

2) Kurt Angle

3) John Cena

4) Big Show

5) Billy Gunn

6) A-Train

7) Matt Morgan

8) Shannon Moore

9) Eddie Guerrero

10) Chavo Guerrero Jr.

11) Charlie Haas

12) Shelton Benjamin

13) Chuck Palumbo

14) Johnny Stamboli

15) Nunzio

 

With Triple H-Michaels, Brock-Holly, Rey-Tajiri and Bashams-Scottie/Rikishi in the undercard.

Odds are RVD gets hurt or something in his match against Orton and does not get into the Rumble either.

 

And I think Rico has a better shot of being in then Matt Hardy at this point. If they take out RVD then RICO will hop into his spot.

 

Plus, I'd be shocked if they don't include Tommy Dreamer in the Rumble since they are in Philly. Possibly over Conway or Dupree.

That's possible although I don't see them taking RVD out of the thing since he was also a ECW guy and much bigger nationally than Dreamer. I mostly put in La Res since WWE can't seem to do a RAW taping anymore without putting Conway and Dupre on both the main show and on HEAT.

 

I totally forgot about Steiner, Stevie Richards, Test and Heidenreich. I can't see John getting in there but weirder things have happened. The other three have a shot although I can't imagine Val and Storm getting in the thing.

No way Heidenreich makes it into the Rumble. He dropped from Raw, to Heat (and jobbing to Rico), to not even on TV. It's pretty bad when you're his size in Vince-land and can't make it on TV. Unless he makes some miraculous strides in his work ( ::snicker:: ), he won't be in the Rumble.

 

I could maybe see Stevie sneaking in, though. They seem to be giving him a little push (insofar as 3 roll-up wins over Test is a push), so they may stick him in there.

No way no how........and no spanky either.

If they add a Dudleys vs Flair/Batista match on the undercard, that'll open up some slots in the rumble.

 

If that's the case, my 15 from Raw would be:

1. Jericho

2. Christian

3. Booker T

4. RVD

5. Kane

6. Orton

7. Goldberg (if he's back)

8. Test

9. Dreamer

10. Henry

11. Dupree

12. Conway

13. Hardy

14. Steiner

15. Stevie

 

If Goldberg's not back yet (or is not a surprise entrant), he can be replaced by any number of people (Storm, Venis, Rico, Cade, Jindrak, etc.)

Both Guerreros have to be in it. I say with the Guerreros feud, they need to take the Bret/Owen route. Have Eddy go on a streak of eliminations til hes the only one left in the ring. Then Chavo comes out, and Eddy eliminates himself over the top rope so he doesn't have to fight his own nephew.

So WWF ignored their feud from WCW in 1998 when Eddy beat the crap out of Chavo, and then for some reason Chavo wet crazy.

I'm guessing Goldberg's 30-day "de-activation" period also includes the Rumble...

It shouldn't when you consider the larger than normal gap between the December and january ppv.

Just looking at the 30-man list, in addition to Goldberg, you also forgot Undertaker. He's all but guaranteed to be in the Rumble match. Oh, and I really hope they don't put all three members of the FBI in. That would be kind of a waste of space. In fact, I think one of them would be a waste of space.

Nunzio isn't a waste of space.

Yes he is.

If there had to be an FBI, go with Nunzio, although I think they're missing the boat with the whole gimmick as I loved the ECW FBI as presented as Wrestlepalooza '97. That's the only ECW show I have so i don't know if they changed over time.

I loved the FBI team in 2000.
