i was only messing with ya feller

pretty bad wasn't it, apart from CM Punk it was in the main a good example of how not to book a royal rumble match.

Punk in the Rumble was class. Up there with Jericho as the best heel now. Would have loved to see him depict every man one by one, and for him to keep chatting in between!

Far too many eliminations early on. Is it just me, or is Serena hot for a bald chick?

first time ever i called all matches , i got very confident by about entry 26 given who was left that my man would come through.


couple of face turns maybe especially for the viper

probably the most underrated man in the WWE fantastic heel

Not that I watch TNA cos its crap, but hadn't they shipped the ring months previous?

I'm not up on my Freight costs and such, But surely it can't have been too much of a stretch to send a 4 sided ring over, or hire when while over here? It just made me cringe when I saw it.

It was clear that the fans recognised that Punk had taken his performance to another level at the Rumble as well. I'm never sure what the reaction of the WWE writers would be when the crowd starts cheering for a heel. I guess that's probably not what they want, but IMO it signals a tremendous breakthrough as it shows how much the fans respect how well he's playing his role.

That aside, it was certainly the worst Rumble match I've ever watched. I can't say I've ever been a massive fan of Edge so his return didn't exactly make it for me either. Having said that, I do remember his outstanding performances in the buildup to Summerslam with Taker in 2008 - if he can get back to that level then great.

Interesting to see DiBiase and Orton both in the chamber, this could be the way to send one face for a Wrestlemania feud. Pleased to see Kofi in the match as well.

Well all know what happened to Kofi the last time he was in a Chamber match lol! As for the Edge thing. Unless he at least attempts to get into shape. Showing up for a WWE PPV in that shape is unacceptable IMO.

Can't say I noticed any real difference.

The whole Bret Hart thing fell flat on its ar$e last night IMO.

i expect jericho to win a tittle to face edge at wrestlemania

i reckon they've brought him back early, i thought watching him walk to the ring on sunday night that he was still walking awakwardly.

ermmmm good theory but i thought that vince was pushing the canadian thing a lot with bret hart and stu heart.....did edge not come through the school of hart?????

my guess is EDGE/HART v VINNY/BATISTA

thought that honnor was going to HBK

I don't agree. Yeah some of Vince delivery was a bit hokey and the physicality between vince, hart and batista looked terrible. but they had some great sound bites (loved the final verbal jab about hart's dad not being good enough for the hall of fame) and that shot of vince spitting in hart's face gives WWE more than enough material to make this a killer build for a WM showdown.

ECW is ending in 3 weeks, it will be replaced by a new show in the same timeslot. The rumoured name for the show is WWE NXT as they recently registered that trademark.

Well yes. I think Vince has ground the memory of ECW into the dirt enough now.

The 2 chambers are:

RAW: Sheamus [C vs Orton vs DiBiase vs Triple H vs Cena vs Kofi

Smackdown vs Jericho vs Punk vs Rey vs Morrison vs R-Truth

Sheamus & Jericho to win IMO. Sets up Edge vs Jericho & Triple H vs Sheamus for WM.

who will be facing taker this year then at mania

i expect egde to cash in his wastlemania spot at no way out if jericho wins would spice there match at mania if it is to happen

but everyone knows who will win

now that would really make the taker vs hbk match interesting.
throws in that air of unpredictability
