According to Royalrumble.com, 29 of the 30 entrants are set. It's going to be....
Kane Kurt Angle Booker T John Cena Goldberg Chris Benoit Scott Steiner Billy Gunn Christian Rikishi Chris Jericho Shelton Benjamin Mark Henry Charlie Haas Rico Nunzio The Hurricane Big Show Spike Dudley Matt Morgan Matt Hardy Tajiri Test A-Train Rene Dupree Ernest "The Cat" Miller Randy Orton Bradshaw Rob Van Dam To be determined
Given the Rumble's history of surprise entries, any guesses on who #30 could be? An informed guess would be Undertaker, back for revenge on Kane, a predictable guess would be the Guerreros match be made into a Rumble qualifier, a wild guess would be Foley entering to eliminate Randy Orton (this is unlikely, since the TBD is on the Smackdown side), or a whacked out guess would be someone like Honky Tonk Man, or Bob Backlund, or some other old superstar making a one-time only shot. Or, if WWE really wanted to make the crowd cream its jeans, it'd be the Rock.
Frankly, I'd rather see all of these surprises in rather than scrubs like Dupree, Miller, Gunn, and even more talented guys like Spike and Nunzio. Perhaps they'll do an injury angle with Spike from last Monday, and add another surprise guy into the mix.
Wait…if it’s MLK Jr. Day AND Pat Patterson’s Birthday…who gets the token win here?-- Matt "Excalibur05" Hocking on a match between Mark Henry and Rico
MH: What’s a clever way to say that I have a penis? CJ: Uh…Mark, nobody’s going to buy that shirt. MH: How about if I say that I’ve got…a…uh…? CJ: Coming up with T-Shirt ideas is hard Mark, why not leave it to the WWE marketing department. MH: I know! I’ve got it! CJ: Got what? MH: Stank! That’s Mah Stank! I’m gonna make a fortune!! CJ: “That’s Mah Stank”? MH: On the front it’ll say “Can You Smell It?” and on the back it’ll say “That’s Mah Stank”. Everybody’ll buy it because they’ll think it’s a Rock shirt. CJ: You know…you might be on to something there, sad to say. MH: I can’t wait to show mah stank to Trish.
You know, I have a feeling that Spanky didn’t quit, he was fired. Why? So they could repackage Mark Henry as “Stanky.” Think about THAT! --Matt "Excalibur05" Hocking, 1/19/04 Raw Satire
Well, the net consensus seems to be that it will be Undertaker in a cameo role coming in to eliminate Kane and then leave, but who knows?
If I had to hazard a guess of anybody BUT Taker, I'd say either Rock (who should be back for the Feb-March homestretch) or somebody totally and completley unexpected like Savage. Not saying that it would be Savage, but with Hogan seemingly making moves to try to get back on the WMXX card, I could see maybe somebody of his stature trying the same thing and now would be the time to do it.

Originally posted by GRLNah... it looked like the graphic also included Nathan Jones, and I'm pretty sure we can count him out.
So who do we have on our list then?
The Undertaker The Rock Edge Hulk Hogan Randy Savage the Honky Tonk Man Bob Backlund
Oh my god and we wonder why internet fans are considered to be morons. It's be cause of people like you.
Jones was has never even been mentioned after he quit, and that was only mentioned on wwe.com, and no way in hell did you see him in the Royal Rumble graphic last night. If you did I got some swampland in Florida for you real cheap.
The 30th man is Rhyno. Unless the do a switcharoo by adding Edge or Rock (both doubtful, and those are the only two they would bring in) all 30-men are accounted for.

You mean other than the episode of Smackdown where Paul Heyman was talking to Big Show, A-Train and Matt Morgan and told them they saw what happened to Nathan Jones when he disobyed Heyman and asked if they wanted to have the same thing happen to them?
And that same episode where Michael Cole specifically stated that Nathan Jones stayed in Australia and was making fun of him about it?
I totally came in here to tell you that it was gonna be Goldberg, and ask you what cave you've been living in for the past week. Then I realized you meant 30th entrant, not #30.
For shame, me.

I say that HBK will win the title from HHH, and because HHH is superhuman, HHH will overcome his injuries, say come into the Rumble #28, eliminate a few people for dramatics and for JR to say,"bah god, King! The Game is on a rampage. Where'd he get the strength to do this after that hellacious Last Man Standing Match!!"
Then he and Goldberg trade fists to the delight of the higher ups and Goldberg will then get eliminated.
And your winner is.... HHH.
Damn I'm cynical.
This post is dedicated to the guy who didn't understand my post in the RAW 1-19-04 thread and said I was hating HHH. ha! But if it DOES happen... be afraid.

Well it could happen I guess, but I would say it's more likely that Triple H just wins his match and keeps the title.
I would like for it to be Edge. I mean the Royal Rumble entrance would be a great way to bring back a wrestler who has been gone for nearly a year. Not many people will be expecting it since there has been no hype for him and as far as we know he won't be back for a month or two. I know he's not supposed to be ready for another month or two but I'm sure they could protect him in the match. All he has to do is come in eliminate a few people and then get knocked out of the ring.

Dude, bite a weenie.
Top right corner, BEHIND Rhyno. Looked like Nathan Jones to me. And if it wasn't him, if it WASN'T a graphic error that we know the WWE never makes, I imagine I'll still sleep tonight... if I can force myself to avoid making posts that say "I say Nathan Jones is in the Rumble!!" I mean, I've done well with that so far.
What's Drew Carey been up to lately? Worst. Entrant. Ever.
When I was watching a past Rumble on tape this week, I wondered: Why doesn't one of the entrants come down to ringside and sit around 'till there's one guy left, then hop in and eliminate him? I guess Mr. McMahon kind of did this already-was it '99?.
The main problem is this: The worst thing ever to happen to wrestling was the storyline that elevated the WWF in 1998 involved Vince McMahon. Because of that, Vince believes anything that involves him must be the greatest thing ever conceived.
