If Orton wins, would it be Orton-Cena at WM then? I'd like that.

 

Orton-Cena-Edge. Triple Threat. Quite frankly, Edge/Cena (overused as it might be) or including Shawn to make it a 4-Way would do more then a Cena/Orton match.

 

Quite frankly, inserting Shawn would make it quite similar to WM2000 with Edge and Cena playing Rock/HHH, Orton playing TBS (youngest guy billed as the future) and Shawn as Foley. A triple threat was done last year with Orton and it was flimsy. Just stick Shawn in there.

 

 

A fatal four way would be a bad idea. The card is looking weak from an in ring point as it is. Putting three of your best workers in one match when you should be spreading them out would be very unwise.

 

Wrestle Mania isn’t about in ring product and slotting Shawn into that match hardly damages the quality of the show. All it means is using another face to slot with Trump against McMahon and Booker. There’s over 50 other wrestlers in the company to pick up the in-ring product and that can easily be achieved in the under-card. The only issue using Shawn in the title match is the risk of Cena looking like a second fiddle.

 

In all honestly, I’d prefer Cena Vs Shawn, with Edge against Undertaker as the other program setting Batista against Orton for the Trump/McMahon feud. Cena/Shawn would be pretty good and give an interesting crowd dynamic, Edge/Taker works on more levels and Batista/Orton is fine there. All it requires is Edge to win the Rumble to jump ship to Smackdown and challenge Batista. Batista drops the title to ‘Edge @ N.W.O (it’s not as if it’s implausible they can have Edge sacrifice the WM main event for a title shot at N.W.O) thanks to Orton. That easily sets up three different matches that work much better then the current set up has going and only requires one title change and one wrestler moving over.

 

With those three matches plus the Hogan/Shane, TLC 4 Way and Lashley title defense, just plug in 3-4 more undercard matches (Kennedy/Benoit, Kenny/Carlito, Woman’s Title and probably a big man match involving Umaga and others).

 

You’re right, Cena/Orton/Edge with Shawn/Booker and Undertaker/Batista is much, much better.

Now i wouldnt feel so bad ordering that WM.

Why order WM when you can see the rematch of the main event at Backlash or Summerslam?

Is it strange that in my head I hear this post as stated by this man:

 

[luke-o 0]

It'll cost me 15 quid either way, i may as well watch the first match and miss the other 2 rematches.

I set up a AIM chat for those interested.

 

Invite yourself to TSMRUMBLE

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

With the initials MVP you would think the man was a former football player or something...

 

Well, his character is essentially Terrell Owens.

 

Cept for that whole..burned half to death thing..

Please don't make me feel like I'm wasting my $39.95, WWE.

[CBright7831 0]

[luke-o 0]

Im workin on it, im not good with this sort of thing.

[luke-o 0]

Yeah i cant get this thing to work. I downloaded AIM, but i can't sign into shit.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

I think that my tivo box was trying to tell me something when it wouldnt let me order the PPV from the box, I had to go through the whole online thing to order it.

[TheFranchise 0]

I'm in the chat, but I need a stream, I haven't got any access to it at all.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Im betting someone from SD, a heel..maybe Booker, wins the RR and loses the shot at NWO to Taker.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

I just realized there was no sponsor for the RR..wierd.

 

and the stage/set is kinda meh..

[Aero 0]

Are the ropes white?

[Scroby 0]

starting with MNM vs Hardys

[luke-o 0]

Could they not get a long enough red carpet? That barely got passed the stage..

[The Amazing Rando 0]

The Royal Rumble sponsor is THE MARINE, ON DVD THIS TUESDAY, KING

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Are the ropes white?

 

Yeah

[luke-o 0]

And for once, i find Melina attractive.

[The Amazing Rando 0]

If they make it a 30th Royal Rumble, they should try and find a competitor from every single Rumble to compete. No overlaps (I mean, every year has to be accounted for, but nobody can be responsible for two of the years).

[RepoMan 0]

That giant WM banner is distracting. Plus, shouldn't they have a RR banner?

[Guest Princess Leena]

Here's a stream. No voice and choppy, but yeah...

Who would be the the 30th entrant?

[The Amazing Rando 0]

they have to have that Wrestlemania banner there so they can get a shot of the Rumble winner standing in it's shadow at the end of the big match.

 

 

Also, I wish Mercury was wearing an old Kane concession stand mask.

 

 

 

^Who would be the 30th Entrant.... A Rookie. (I'd say they automatically give him the actual number 30 spot too)

[Matt Young 0]

Cool... Thanks a lot, leena. Much better than reading text results, even if there is no sound.

 

EDIT: It gives me a "connection closed" message every 30 seconds.
