The Royal Rumble Prediction Game

[Hawk 34 0]

This is a pretty simple set-up. You make your predictions based off the below list and each question is assigned a point value. The level of difficulty and randomness will gauge the value of the answer. Whoever collects the most points is the winner of this and the prize is the greatest of them all, nothing. Not even pride.

 

Here are the questions.

 

1. Who will win the 2008 Royal Rumble? (2 pts.)

2. Who will be the runner-up? (3 pts.)

3. Who will be the iron-man? (5 pts.)

4. Who will have the shortest time? (5 pts.)

5. Who will have the most eliminated opponents? (3 pts.)

6. Who will draw #1 and #2 (3 pts each, 3 bonus for accurately naming both)

7. Who will draw the most successful winning entry of #27? (5 pts.)

8. Who will draw the #30 spot? (5 pts.)

9. What will be the eventual winning #? (5 pts)

10. Will there be any surprise/unannounced entrants? (No point value), If yes, who will they be? (3 pts. each)

11. Will the endurance record of 62:12 set by Mysterio be broken? (No point value), If so, what will the new record be? (Closest to the supposed new record gets 10 pts).

12. The final six men eliminated will compete in the second chance Elimination Chamber next month, who will those people be? (3 pts. each, 10 pts bonus for accurately naming all)

13. How many instances of interference by non-active competitors will we see? (3 pts.)

14. How many people will Hornswoggle eliminate? (3 pts.)

15. Will anyone bleed? (no point value), if so, who? (2 pts)

 

Good luck.

Is Flair even going to be in the Rumble? He's facing MVP on the undercard but guys in the undercard have been in The Rumble in years past.

 

At one point in the other thread I was going to point out that double duty hasn't happened since 2000 - and even then, it was part of an angle where the day of the show Kaientai and the Posse got kicked out of the Rumble to make way for Jericho, Holly, Chyna, The Outlaws, and APA (that doesn't add up but that's how it was promoted). The exception was going to be 2003, where Show/Lesnar had a match to open the show where the winner got to be in the Rumble, so that wouldn't count, but then I watched the 2005 Rumble and for no real reason Shawn and Edge got to do double duty, so I guess it's happened more recent than I thought. Angle also stole Nunzio's number but that obviously doesn't count as advertised double duty. The "rule" (which never matters since wrestling has a very loose rule continuity) that was specifically mentioned in 2004 was if you had a match on the card, you couldn't be in the Rumble (Kurt had sort of tricked Eddie into having a match with Chavo on the show, thus removing him from the Rumble).

Leading up to the 2000 Rumble, they had the match graphic with everyone pictured. Besides the Posse & Kaientai, Mark Henry and, I think, Mideon didn't end up in the match. So that would work that out. About the double-duty rule, don't forget about the randomness of last year: With MNM vs. Hardys on the undercard, everyone but Mercury ended up in the Rumble match.

 

I'll wait until all 30 are announced before I do the contest. Sure, Santino will probably last the shortest time, but who knows if they actually add Shannon Moore or someone worse...
