/envy - what was the show like overall? The main event of RVD vs Hero vs Strong sounded amazing on paper.



Yeah, but PWG are usually the slowest at producing & releasing dvds on the indies - still waiting for them to release the Battle of LA shows from November.

Pretty good show. Nothing amazing but solid matches. Crowd was larger than the usaul PWG show because of the ROH show the night before.

RVD had a ton of heat. Kids were running up to the barricade just for a high fives. Strong was taking stiff bumps.

Young Bucks came out as Generation ME without the tag titles. They also continued the stupid Max,Jeremy name change. Came out to a lot of boo's. TNA sucks chant. Brian Kendrick was also in the match and he got no negative heat for being in TNA at all. I'm feeling a GMe heel turn.

Ron Simmons talked to Chris Hero after the show for about 30 seconds. I think something is happening there.

I used to love the 3-hour WCW Nitro because they usually used the entire 1st hour to focus on Cruiserweights and lesser-known wrestlers. There were some great matches.

I have absolutely no faith in WWE to use the extra hour properly.

They better have some humorous entrants. That is the one thing I look forward to at this PPV anymore.

I think Hornswaggle will win the though.

We doing predictions?

Ezekiel over Christian
Mickie James over McCool
Sheamus retains over Orton. I think Legacy interferes but it backfires and Orton gets dq'd
Undertaker retains over Rey

Rumble is a tossup. So many directions they could go. I say it comes down to HHH vs HBK at the end with HHH winning.

Surprises-I think RVD will be an entrant in the Rumble and Edge will make his return setting up his feud with Y2J.

Good for Hero, I've thought for a while now that he deserves a shot in WWE and he has stepped it up even more recently.

I am still a bit depressed it is likely going to be

Taker vs HBK II

and

Cen or HHH vs Orton IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

at Mania.

When they started pushing Kofi and others strongly a few months back I thought they might go with something truly different

Prediction time,

Chrisitian retains, even though Zeke has everything McMahon looks for, I'm hoping for a Chrisitian/Ryder program going into Mania.
I see Sheamus retaining against Orton via Legacy, Orton entering the Rumble and being eliminated by Dibiase to get that face turn going.
Taker retains against Rey.
Mickie James should win so this storyline ends right.

Rumble, I really don't want to see HHH/HBK win and I see them gaining the shot/chance next month so who for the Rumble....

I might miss the first part of the PPV, hopefully I get back in time for the actual rumble. PREDICTIONS:

ECW Championship: Christian vs. Ezekiel Jackson: Try to think of a more boring champion than Zeke (Kozlov doesn't count). I still don't know where they are going with the Ruthless Roundtable. First it looked like Zeke was turning face, then Kozlov, now no one knows what's going on.
Winner: Christian

Women's Championship: Michelle McCool vs. Mickie James: At first, I thought the "Mickie is fat" storyline was going to take a predictable turn of events. McCool would make fun of Mickie for being thicker than a stick, Mickie would give a bunch of promos about how she is beautiful and girls don't have to be twigs to feel pretty, and then Mickie wins. But Mickie has more or less just been getting buried. Maybe tonight will remedy this storyline.
Winner: Mickie James

World Heavyweight Championship: Undertaker vs. Rey Mysterio: This could actually be a pretty good match, but we all know it will probably end with Batista coming in and DQing the shit out of everyone.
Winner: Undertaker

WWE Championship: Sheamus vs. Randy Orton: Sheamus is still being treated like a mid-carder despite the fact that he has the strap. Is the experiment over? Probably!
Winner: Randy Orton

Royal Rumble: I guess it will be HBK/Taker II at WM 26. I really wouldn't mind it, but I'd rather they'd do something less predictable with the rumble (which they still might).
Winner: HBK

Since we're doing predictions I'm going to post mine.

Christian over Ezekiel
Mickie over McCool
Taker over Rey
Randy over Sheamus
Royal Rumble Winner: HBK

Hopefully we get some surprises during the rumble. I'd like to see an Edge return!

i normally don't make predictions, but i don't see why people are predicting a Mickie win. it would be really classy of the WWE to let her go out on top, but that's a thing that's been severely lacking in these days...

Totally underhyped for this year's Rumble...the last PPV I've watched was last year's Mania.

Hopefully the show will surprise me.

Feeling the same, not really hyped at all, even for the Rumble. But I do think an HBK win would be nice to see at this stage in his career. Better than the HHH alternative I suppose.

Is it okay if everyone commits to not posting spoilers ahead of the rumble. No ______ is backstage, and could be a rumble entrant would be nice. At least spoiler tag them please.

If WWE decides to throw in a few surprises (there are 5 spots left I believe), I would genuinely like to be surprised.

Wait, so you don't want us to post spoilers before the show or during it?

Just some stuff they need to avoid-
-Too many people in the ring at once, I think last year, half the roster was still in the ring when the final entrant entered.
-Don't let Triple H be in the final 4... you know he will but still.

Do we know if its 2 mins or 90 seconds?

No spoilers ahead of the show is what I was asking for.

Usually a post saying "Jeff Hardy is backstage lolz" and stuff like that is fair game around here, but part of the fun of the Rumble, for me at least, is getting surprised at who comes out.

So, I was just saying that if one of the dirt sheets start reporting someone is backstage it would be best not to repost it here, or at least put a spoiler tag around it.

Oh I'm completely fine with that.

I love the surprise entrants in the Rumble as well. And there are 5 slots, even though I expect many of them to be filled during the show, still would be nice for a Legend or two.

I want at least two silly appearances and one old school one that actually competes. NOT RVD! Maybe Animal or something fun like that.

Time for my shitty predictions

Taker retains

Sheamus retains

Christian retains

McCool retains

Edge returns in rumble to take out Jericho then the IWC explodes when it comes down to Trips vs Cena and HBK screws HHH and cena wins

If I'm right I riot

My "super detailed" single Rumble prediction

Edge will enter number 27 will take Jericho (who entered number 2) and himself out at the same time - both men going over the top rope in a "mindless" revenge attack. Edge can only feud with Jericho heading into Mania, so he cannot remain in the rumble after Jericho goes over the top so this is the only way this can go down IMO.

Usually, but there are a few times that it doesn't. (2006, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1988)
