|  #1 Posted on 10.1.03 0147.05 | Heya guys (and gals).
I remember last week they said they were going to announce Smackdown's 15 for the Rumble this week...
sorry if this was mentioned earlier, or if I just wasn't paying attention...
but did they announce who they were? or did I just mishear?
er..that's all. thanks.

| #2 Posted on 10.1.03 0706.42 | With the exception of the winner of Lesnar-Show, they didn't announce any names for the Royal Rumble. They hinted at Undertaker in the Royal Rumble, but nothing else.
That was a surprise considering they mentioned that they were going to announce the names of the Smackdown entrants in the Smackdown preview.

Undertaker HAS to be in the Rumble, since after his promo they showed the Rumble logo. Here's my probable list:
Lesnar OR Big Show
Undertaker
Eddie Guerrero
Chavo Guerrero
B-2
John Cena
Rikishi
Billy Kidman
Edge
Bill DeMott
Matt Hardy
Shannon Moore
A-Train

| #6 Posted on 10.1.03 1240.14 | I'm getting a little pissed at this now. WWE did the same thing with Raw and Confidential when they promised something and then just didn't mention it at all. It's pretty bush league to put something in your preview and then just not make any mention of it on the show. As it is, WWE.com only puts like 2 matches or segments on their preview page, and they can't even deliver on em? Pff.
This one works out in our favor, cause thanks to them not telling us what they said they would tell us, we still have a chance to be surprised in the Rumble. In the end, I'd rather know about 10-15 main guys in it, and don't tell us the rest. It would be dumb to announce 15 names on Smackdown, cause you know at least 1 or 2 won't be in it when match times comes. This could be a good year for surprise entrants...

Why not put Haas and Benjamin in the last two spots to try and further protect Angle's title?
Maybe have them both get eliminated by Edge since they are sort of feuding. Then Mysterio can come back to team up with Edge against team Angle.

| #9 Posted on 10.1.03 1840.42 | I'll put Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjaman in the 2 spots. I would also take out Los Guererros and Cena/B2 because I think they will wrestle each other at the PPV. In theire places I think they will put in Nathon Jones and Rey Mysteio. I'm also wondering who the "Elimination Man" will be. Last year it was The Undertaker and this year I say it will be Nathon Jones.

| #11 Posted on 11.1.03 2307.16 | I have a feeling Matt Hardy will be the one that eliminates Shannon, in another screwy "lesson".
...
God I love Mattitude.
anyhow, back to the thread, the proposed lists seem about right, the 13 in the first proposed list, reyrey, and random surprise guy.

Thoughts? I've seen nothing but speculations from the Smackdown side. RAW is in it too, remember.

| #13 Posted on 12.1.03 0311.12 | This is what bugs me about the Rumble in addition to SD! failing to give us fans the goods. According to what's being reported elsewhere on the net, the Royal Rumble match is going to be cut down to an essentially half-hour format. Need I ask-- WTF?! I know that it might eliminate those points in time wher nobody but one person is in the ring, but c'mon, now? So not only will we only see 15 wrestlers from each brand compete, but now the match itself gets cut to half the time? I know WWE did this before, but yeesh!
What do you do with all the talent that's not going to be used? This is one of WWE's major PPV shows for goodness' sake. If they were planning to do this all along, they probably could have done two Rumble royals, one for each brand.
I'm just confused now. And, overall, a bit discouraged from wanting to order the show now.
