Aero 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 With all these rumors of Batista/Taker... I'd laugh if they swerved us and did Cena/Taker. I'd rather see that than Taker/Batista. They usually seem to have good matches, anyway. The real swerve would be for Taker to go to ECW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RepoMan 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 HBK really shouldn't have been in the finale two if they weren't going to put him over. The crowd might have actually reacted if Taker took out someone like Edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 What was the finish between Taker-HBK? After about 10 minutes of back and forth, HBK went for a SCM but Taker ducked and back dropped Shawn over the ropes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luke-o 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 Yeah that was much better than i expected. The lower card matches were a bit bleh, but the rumble was pretty good. I had no idea who would win when it came down to the final two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aero 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 What was the finish between Taker-HBK? Taker tosses HBK over after a ducked superkick. Think Benoit tossing HBK outside at WM XX right before the finish, except not as crisp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strummer 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 i wonder if that was a "Thank you for your 17 years of service" win for Taker or they really think Dave/Taker is going to be huge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slickster 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 Well, Rumble and KOTR are pretty much the only things Deadman never won in his career, so I'd say it's a "thank you" and a "let's get rid of the #30 cliche" all in one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Above Average 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 i wonder if that was a "Thank you for your 17 years of service" win for Taker or they really think Dave/Taker is going to be huge? Streak vs. Title = Huge to WWE and most people would agree, especially because of the drama with Taker being the first one to win the Rumble at 30 and it seeming like destiny.

Aero 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 I thought the PPV was pretty average, but by WWE's recent standards, that means it was good. Hardys-MNM and the LMS match were both entertaining enough, and Batista-Kennedy was fine given the short length. ECW was shit, obviously. The Rumble match was better than last year's, but lacked any really memorable spots outside of the last 10-15 minutes after Khali entered or Shelton's feet dangling an inch over the floor. The last 10 minutes or so with Taker vs. HBK has to be one of the best, if not the best, finishes of all the Rumbles. There was actually a lot of suspense, there. I'd pay for a PPV that has HBK vs. Taker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quit Calling My Mama 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 Yet another Smackdown Rumble win. That makes it 4-1 since the brand split. Benoit didn't join Raw till after he won the Rumble so i count that as a SD win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd pay for a PPV that has HBK vs. Taker. Batista/Kennedy was a great match that will go far in elevating Kennedy's status even more. It'll definitely do more for his career than Holly/Brock did for (eventually) either guy. ECW was the only lackluster piece, and the Rumble didn't have anything memorable, but was solidly booked (it sucked to see 13 guys get eliminated in 9 minutes ...from HBK's entrance to Taker's entrance) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benoit didn't join Raw till after he won the Rumble so i count that as a SD win. And yet Raw is still considered the superior brand by WWE. I mean, Smackdown won most of the stuff in the Raw vs. Smackdown war of late 2005. Smackdown has won the most Rumbles. Smackdown won the 2002 King of the Ring...
