In recent times (this era) the only year the Rumble was not the main event was in 2006, and that was shit - they wont do that again IMO.

Also, the only reason the Rumble was moved up that year was because they had to do a spot where Undertaker destroyed the ring to intimate Kurt Angle after his main event match with Henry, and they could not "fix" the ring again in time to have the Rumble last.

I need no stinking lamps tonight.

I'm buying the Rumble tonight. Probably the only show I would ever spend 50 bucks on. Got my pizza and my snacks ready.

I'm ready for dissapointment.
 
Hopefully a longshot can win the rumble. I like Cena to win but a longshot has a chance I like to go with Kofi. If McMahon and Mysterio could win the Rumble, Kofi has a good chance.
 
I never understand why US PPV's are so expensive. I am paying 22.00 EUR to watch in HD, which is about 30.50 USD when you convert at current exchange rates.

I think that is expensive, but it is about half of what you guys pay. We even get a few PPV for free too :p

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.

As much as I'm looking forward to the Edge/Jericho feud, the one thing I don't get is WHY.

I mean its not like Jericho took him out or anything or its not like took title from him... so it would be weird.

How much are they in America? $50?

I think £15 is a rip-off as it is. :lol

I think Jericho did cut a promo on Edge calling him weak, etc, etc.

Edge-Jericho would be great and is a great way to get both men into WM without making it a title match.

I also say, DiBiase wins MITB at WM, so no Rumble win for him.

In one sentence I both like and hate you :p

After Edge got injured they were heavily building up a feud on the Smackdown's afterwards - with Edge still in his cast. Jericho basically said he was dropping him from the team (before he got Big Show) cause he was so injury prone / unless / and a liability. Everything pointed to a feud between the two happening when Edge returned

I think it is $50 - $60, can change depending on the PPV or if they buy regular or high-def. I think the price even went up after buy rates went down in recent years. Crazy prices.

Shit, I remember my first live WWE PPV was Summer Slam 90' and it was about $29.99, but I had to hustle with my mom cause it was on a school night.
 
Who i'd like to win the rumble: CM Punk, Kofi Kingston...crap i'd be fine if Ted won. I'm not an Edge fan but if he came back tonight, it would be a welcome change to what I think will most likely go down, which is Shawn winning.

Undertaker retains

Randy beats Sheamus, the dude is a throw-away champ, they hardly spend anytime on him, he'll lose tonight and will probably never be a major player again.

Razor Ramon is after The 123 Kid now... this is awesome :D

I am sure I watched this live, but I dont remember anything I am seeing

Spoilers
Shawn wins.

I watched 07-09 over the weekend.
09 was so bad and boring.

By the time 30 came in, there were still half the roster left!

I found a lamp among my spanish speaking community and it's running smooth, only problem will be listening to Hugo and Carlos do the commentating.

Sacrifices must be made sometimes.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
So, is it completely obvious Cena wins this tonight? The only other guy I can think of coming close is HHH.

I love the Rumble yet hate how absolutely predictable it is every year.

Also, predictions:

Taker retains

Orton takes the title and heads into WM as champion to face Cena.
