Guest Goodear Report post Posted January 9, 2004 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.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2004 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Goodear Report post Posted January 9, 2004 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2004 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.

Guest Fook Report post Posted January 9, 2004 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.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Your Olympic Hero Report post Posted January 9, 2004 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.

Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 Having watched the 92 rumble on the Flair DVD set yesterday, they could have Flair draw number 3 this year and last a while before being eliminated. That'd be fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 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.
