Ah Shit. Benoit isn't winning the Royal Rumble

[Guest rawmvp]

WWE.com has a picture of Benoit splashed on the cover page with the words, "No. 1; Can Benoit Go All The Way?"

 

And to make things worse, the current WWE.com poll is: Do you think Benoit will win the Royal Rumble? A) Yes he will B) No he won't. At the moment, about 50.34 percent think he will.

 

 

Now, it's just too obvious. Benoit will not win the Royal Rumble.

 

I'm guessing either Kurt Angle or Goldberg will win the Rumble.

[Guest Skironox]

Angle? Goldberg? Don't be so optimistic. Randy Orton's a shoe in for the winner and grand champion of the biggest show of the year.

 

You know HHH is just keeping that belt warm for him.

[Mole 0]

What are you talking about? How does that show you Benoit won't win?

 

However, my pick is Cena to win it.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

I'm thinking Benoit and Goldberg will be the last 2. Lesnar comes out to try and screw Benoit by eliminating him and accidently eliminates Goldberg kicking off their feud.

 

It would make sense so it obviously won't happen.

[SamoaRowe 0]

I don't think even the WWE will be stupid enough to have Randy Orton headline a Wrestlemania at this stage in his career. I'm expecting a Randy Orton title defense, or some sort of fun match with Mick Foley.

 

To me, there are three definitly possible winners: Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, and Goldberg. There are great arguments for all three and I'd be surprised if anyone else won.

UGH what a waste. Close the WWE board ... NOW.

[razazteca 0]

I bet the Rock will win the Rumble.

[SamoaRowe 0]

I bet the Rock will win the Rumble.

I wouldn't put that past him.

 

 

I also predict an Undertaker return to screw Kane out of the rumble.

[Murmuring Beast 0]

I bet that someone in here will get a braincell. Wait, bets are off.

Very good call.

[Guest rawmvp]

The last thing I want to see is Benoit's victory become tarnished due to outside interference.

 

Can't we just have a clean ending?

 

Personally, the best way to set off the Lesnar-Goldberg feud is during Sunday Night Heat. Just as the show is about to go off the air, Goldberg is revealed -- in the backstage area -- to be unconscious with blood spattered all over his body.

 

The announcers can then question who the perpetrator was and wonder whether or not Goldberg will be in proper condition to keep his spot in the Rumble.

 

And then during the Rumble, when the countdown is at 0, The Rock or Undertaker can come out.

 

This can lead to the announcers -- and Goldberg -- to become very suspicious, and perhaps question the possibility that Rock or Taker could be the culprit. The motives of each wrestler can be questioned, too, resulting in Goldberg, as he's recooperating from the attack, to impose his brute force upon every RAW and SD! wrestler, with the purpose of interrogating each and every one of them.

 

Of course, Brock Lesnar will eventually admit to the misdeed, citing the main reason for his actions: He finally wants to separate himself from the man (Goldberg) that he's always compared to.

[Guest The Winter Of My Discontent]

Eddie Guerrero will win.

[Guest PowerPB13]

I don't think even the WWE will be stupid enough

*SMACK*

I really don't know who is going to win. To me, that's what makes this years Royal Rumble exciting and worth watching. Well, that along with the other matches that have potential to be good - great.

 

I guess, if I had to choose, I would pick Kurt Angle. Truthfully, I really don't see why he would win it or anything like that. However, after hearing about him dedicating the match to the "troops" and remembering how patriotic the WWE tries to be, it seems logical.

 

My money was on Chris Benoit for a long time. Of course, the reasoning behind that was because of shit that I had read.

 

I guess Goldberg is possible as well, however with all the latest shit going around about Goldberg, like the banning of the Jackhammer and whatnot, it seems as if he won't be doing a hell of a lot during his last couple of months.

 

I suppose Randy Orton or John Cena have a chance too.

 

I guess I'll find out on Sunday.

Yes, that can be a bad indication Benoit won't win the Rumble but you can also read it as the WWE planting the seed in people's minds that there's no dobut Benoit's going to be victorious. Therefore everyone will think that Benoit's not winning because the WWE is making it too obvious. Than you pull the good old swithceroo and have Benoit win. Perhaps the WWE thought that since the word's out that Benoit's going to win they may as well go with it and make him an obvious choice. That way they're planting dobut in everyone's mind. They're trying to make people think they're using reverse physcology but they're actually really using reverse - reverse physcology. Or maybe the WWE just gave up and decided to let the secret out.

Is Eddie even in the Rumble? I thought he was just facing Chavo.

[Guest rawmvp]

WWE is too stupid to use reverse-reverse psychology.

[Guest rawmvp]

BTW, of the five RR Smackdown slots that are left, three of them have been filled:

 

BEWARE!!!! POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!!!!!!

 

Highlight to read

 

Tajiri, A-Train, and Bradshaw

 

That leaves us two mystery entrants. And, they can always add a proviso to the Eddie-Chavo match -- winner gets into the Rumble. This can cause even more discord between Eddie and Angle.

[Guest Besus]

Randy Orton didn't win the world championship at Summerslam,like some predicted he will.

 

Randy Orton didn't take out Goldberg,like some predicted he will.

 

Randy Orton didn't win the battle royal this past Monday, like some predicted he will.

 

Since November some members here have been predicting he will win the Royal Rumble. Will they be wrong again? We'll find out this Sunday.

[Guest wildpegasus]

WWE is too stupid to use reverse-reverse psychology.

See, that's what we fans thinks. Hwever, the WWE always uses it. It's brilliant. They always make it obvious who's going to win such as the Goldberg batlle royal last week. Everyone knew Goldberg was going to win so that planted the seed of dobut in everyone on whether he's going to win. Than everyone says, " Goldberg's not gonna win. That's too obvious. Henry's gonna take this." What happens after that? Goldberg wins and NOBODY expects it. Rinse and repeat for everything the WWE does and we have the most unpredictable sport/entertainment show in the history of anything and everything. Pure genius. Personally, I think everybody's been underestimating the WWE's IQ level. They're just so far ahead and nobody realises it.

Remember when Triple H won at the Rumble on his big return? Everybody knew he was going to win. It still happened.

 

Now, I know everyone's going to say "But that's because HHH wins everything" and make all the obvious Triple H jokes, but he's not the only case of being a shoe-in to win. Austin's first win was obvious.

 

Personally I think those two were far easier to pick than this year, because I know there is doubt in my mind that Benoit will win.

[Guest rawmvp]

If that's the case, then why does a wrestler who wins, in a tag match let's say, against his opponent a week before the PPV, always loses at the PPV itself?

 

Using your logic, a wrestler, who gets the "last laugh" against his opponent before an upcoming PPV, makes the outcome at the PPV "too obvious" in the fans' minds, making the aforesaid wrestler's victory at the PPV a surprise. But this almost never happens.

[Guest Besus]

Is the spoiler a SD&RR spoiler?

Personally I think all the RR since 98 have had an obvious winner.

 

I think HBK beats HHH at the Rumble and is a transition champ, no clue as to who but you know Trips won't drop the title cleanly to anybody but his friend and Michaels has been up to puting people over (Jericho, Orton). Having said that I believe the winner of the RR comes from the Smackdown side.

Spike is supposedly out of the Rumble, as well.
