Michaels has never lost a non-Rumble match at the PPV. How about that.

I'm disappointed that Flair, for the third straight year since his WWE comeback, isn't in the Rumble. Does WWE not want to tarnish the memory of his 1992 performance or something? Flair coming in halfway through would really perk up the crowd and get them into it, unless WWE is adamant about the Naitch not getting a face reaction.

I'm also kinda surprised that Batista isn't going to be in the Rumble match, since he's a Diesel push kind of guy.

My early pick: Chris Benoit



Rob asks Dave and Ric if they want to go backstage to play Hungry Hungry Hippos and Flair and Batista immediately bail. Flair wants to be Green. Man, EVERYBODY wants to be green. Except the girl in the commercials. She wanted to be pink. That either means that the ad agency was sexist or that she was communist. Of course Hungry Hungry Hippos is a rather capitalist game isn’t it? No self respecting communist would play Hungry Hungry Hippos. Except Stalin. He LOVED Hungry Hungry Hippos. God, I’ve got no clue what the hell I’m rambling about anymore.-- Matt "Excalibur05" Hocking, Raw Satire writer extraordinaire

You know, I just can't call it the "WWE." I just can't. My body's rejecting it like a bad liver transplant.-- Bill Simmons, espn.com/page2

My predictions:
HHH vs HBK-They have always put on good matches, and this will be no exception, I pick HHH in a great match

Lesnar vs Holly-Lesnar, but I would imagine that Hardcore gets some offense in

Eddie vs Chavo-Chavo which will continue what I predict to be one of the best fueds of the year

Tag titles-Flair and Batista-The Dudleys need a break from the title scene, and I see La Resistance taking the titles from evolution down the line

Noble vs Rey-Noble wins to set up a match for next months No Way Out

Rumble match-I want to say Goldberg, but I can see Benoit finally getting the win, and finally getting his world title at Wrestlemania

I don't think it's fair to predict the Rumble 'til I know all the guys in the match itself. Yeah, I know, one of the guys already announced will probably win it.

Royal Rumble Match
PREDICTION: Chris Benoit

World Heavyweight Title - Last Man Standing Match
Triple H (c) vs Shawn Michaels
PREDICTION: Triple H
-If Shawn was going to win the title, they would have done it in San Antonio.

WWE Championship
Brock Lesnar (c) vs Thurman Plugg
PREDICTION: Brock
-Like Plugg has a chance in hell

Eddy Guerrero vs Chavo Guerrero
PREDICTION: Eddy
-Normally Chavo should win but if Eddy's possibly challenging Lesnar at No Way Out then he must win. Eddy cheats to win so Chavo can bitch about it.

World Tag Team Titles
Evolution (c) vs Dudley Boyz
PREDICTION: Evolution
-May as well keep all the belts on the Horsemen

WWE Cruiserweight Title
Rey Rey (c) vs Jamie By God Noble
PREDICTION: Ron Mysterio Junior
-Nidia regains her sight

Overall, it should be a good show and has the potential to be great. HHH/Shawn, Rey/Noble, Eddy/Chavo will all be really good. Brock/Holly should be decent but it will depend on whether the crowd really buys that Holly can beat Lesnar. The Tag Title Match was decent on RAW and should at least have good heat. The Rumble is always a crap shoot but if Benoit's going to be in it until the end, it has potential to be 92 quality.

For once, the WWE has come up with a card that's worthy of my hard-earned money. Good for them.

WWE Championship Match: Hardcore Holly [Challenger] vs. Brock Lesnar [Champion]
PICK: Lesnar.
WHY: Holly hasn't proven he's a draw, or even a credible threat. Match won't be pretty, as Holly has a kicky-punchy-occational-suplex style, while Brock is all power.
FUN FACT: The last time the WWF/E Title changed hands at the Royal Rumble was 1999, when The Rock beat Mankind in the infamous I Quit Match.

World Championship Last Man Standing Match: Shawn Michaels [Challenger] vs. Triple H [Champion]
PICK: HHH.
WHY: Gut feeling. HHH just got the title back at Armageddon, and hot-shotting the title onto HBK wouldn't make much sense.

World Tag Team Championship Table Match: The Dudley Boyz [D-Von & Bubba Ray; Challengers] vs. Evolution [Batista & Ric Flair; Champions]
PICK: Evolution.
WHY: The Dudleyz almost never win Table Matches, and Flair & Batista just got the belts. Then again...
FUN FACT: The Dudley Boyz won the World Tag Team Titles at last year's Royal Rumble.

Grudge Match: Eddie Guerrero vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr.
PICK: Chavo.
WHY: This fued just started, and I suspect that Chavo Jr. will have Chavo Sr. in his corner. And heck, No Way Out is a Smackdown PPV, so they'll need a few matches to fill it up...

WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match Jamie Noble [Challenger; with Blind Nidia] vs. Rey Mysterio [Jr.; Champion]
PICK: Mysterio
WHY: He just got the belt. SmackDown has a PPV next month. I like Rey better.

The 17th Annual WWE Royal Rumble Match: Kane, Booker T, Goldberg, Scott Steiner, Christian, Chris Jericho, Mark Henry, 8 more RAW wrestlers, Kurt Angle, John Cena, Chris Benoit, Charlie Haas, Shelton Benjamin, Nunzio, The Big Show, Rikishi, Billy Gunn, 6 more SmackDOwn wrestlers
SUSPECTED SMACKDOWN RUMBLERS: Bradshaw, Faarooq, Akio, Sakoda, Doug Basham, Danny Basham, Ernest Miller, Rhyno, Shannon Moore & Tajiri
SUSPECTED RAW RUMBLERS: Rico, Randy Orton, Rob Conway, Rene Dupree, Al Snow, Val Venis, Lance Storm, The Rock, The Hurricane, Sylvain Grenier, Steven Richards, Rosey & Rob Van Dam
PICK: Benoit [and if not him, Cena or Goldberg]
WHY: Benoit's due, Cena's hot, and Goldberg's on his way out, so might as well strike while the iron's hot.
FUN FACT: Only two men have began the Rumble match at the beginning and won: Shawn Michaels in 1995 & Vince McMahon in 1999.
ANOTHER FUN FACT: Since the Title Shot Stipulation was instituted in 1991, Royal Rumble winners are 10-3 in their WrestleMania title shot. (For the curious: Hulk Hogan [VII], Yokozuna [IX], Bret Hart [X], Shawn Michaels [XII], Steve Austin [XIV], Steve Austin [XV], Steve Austin [XVII], Triple H [XVIII] & Brock Lesnar [XIX] all won, while Lex Luger [X], Shawn Michaels [XI] & The Rock [XVI] lost their title matches. There was no title shot awarded in 1992, as Ric Flair won the vacant title in the Rumble. Steve Austin's 1997 Rumble win was overturned and Undertaker was eventually awarded the title shot.)



FLAMES: 22-13-3-3 for 50 points
