Without telling me who won.

Can you all recommend me some good Royal Rumbles in the last 15 years ?

by Onyx Thu 31 Jan - 18:04:30

Pretty much every Royal Rumble is good. Watch all of them. :bow:

by RealGunner Thu 31 Jan - 19:17:29

u know a site?

by Onyx Thu 31 Jan - 19:26:04

There use to be plenty of websites before that had all the PPV's etc. Try google.

Found 2002 Royal Rumble on youtube. It's only the rumble match, not the whole PPV.

by RealGunner Thu 31 Jan - 19:35:12

Yea i just wanted the Rumble match. Thanks mate

punk fires heyman after he finds out he hired maddox and the shield behind his back. heyman reconnects with Lesnar for the HHH rematch. HHH gets his win back. Sleep

Rock retains the title at EC. Rock fueds with cena and drops he belt at WM and cena gets his win back. Sleep

Taker fueds with punk. Taker keeps streak alive Sleep

Predictamania ?

The WWE really has nothing to offer in this filler mania. Cena WILL get his win back and WILL get the title. Its written. Maybe if it results in a cena heel turn id be sold but chances are the WWE will never turn cena heel with the lack of a quality baby face to carry to company.

Lesnar can be a game changer this mania coz his presence opens up tons of possibilities, but these possibilities can all be shot down with a little wwe "logic". HHH NEEDS his win back, his ego is too big for him to take that loss. Sure it would be better for the business if Lesnar faces Rock, but then Cena's ego would get in the way coz he too wants his win back (and the title) plus rock lesnar will probably main event WM 30 so it makes no sense to burn that match now

Then you got the dead man. With 20-0 he sees no point of putting his health on the line for another win. Taker is also really injured and can only work with a safe/technical wrestler so Lesnar Taker is simply not gonna happen. Taker however might be interested in a filler match with punk until WM 30 where he'd face Cena.

all and all, this is a filler WM. dont get your hopes up

How about Cena vs Rock vs Punk, Rock's about to win and Vince McMahon walks down, helps Cena win the WWE title by cheating and Cena turns heel.

Triple H vs Lesnar, Vince McMahon walks down and helps Triple H win. Triple H turns into a heel authority figure alongside Vince and corporate champion Cena.

Heyman, Lesnar and Punk kinda are fan favourites but they don't suck up to the crowd etc. They're just anti heroes.

As noted before, the early word on plans for Chris Jericho's return is that he will feud with Dolph Ziggler before turning heel and facing Ryback at WrestleMania 29.

The idea would be to use Jericho to get Ryback back where he was. Jericho felt back in October that Hell In a Cell was the right time for Ryback to take the WWE Title.

by zizzle Fri 1 Feb - 6:00:37

^^ that's a likely scenario. The Ryback was kinda ruined lately coz the Rock Punk fued ment that he'd have to lose 3 back to back title matches, and when you're trying to recreate goldberg (yes -,-) thats not a good thing to do

by RealGunner Fri 1 Feb - 19:20:41

Watching Royal Rumble 2004.

Holy shit it's amazing. So many goat story lines and matches.

Guerrero feud was intense.

Lesnar vs hardcore holly trying to break each other's necks lol

HBK vs HHH :bow:

by Onyx Fri 1 Feb - 19:22:08

Watch that years WrestleMania after. :bow:

by vivabarca38 Fri 1 Feb - 21:18:30

Vince aint turning heel approaching 70.He has to be on every single show from that time and he'd take bumps consistently.

There is about 0.5% chance that Cena turns heel,and if he does they're probably going to do it with Triple H in power.Its probably next Mania or never.

by Onyx Fri 1 Feb - 21:52:58

Also Ryback needs a storyline as well imo. Right now all he does is say 'feed me more'.

Maybe have him get attacked backstage by someone in a mask for several weeks. And Ryback the 2nd week comes out and cuts a promo on who could have attacked him.

It turns out to be Kofi Kingston, who turns heel. He says he's tired of jumping around every week and pleasing the fans. He says guys like Ryback get handed everything in a few months, whereas he's worked hard for 5 years and got nothing.

by silver Fri 1 Feb - 22:29:09

How exactly is Rock-Lesner better for the business? Two part time wrestlers fighting for your main title? Doesnt exactly inspire confidence in your current batch of wrestlers.

We've seen those guys fight 11 years ago when they were both in their prime, so what exactly can they offer this time that would make it better for business?

Ryback sucks. Sorry, but we do not need another guy who gets a monster push all the way to the world title in less than a year. Also, Ryback does not have the ability/credibility to elevate a midcarder like Kofi.

So Jericho plans to come back for another short term stint to do some more jobs? Is there any credibility left with this guy? He cant beat Punk, got driven out by Ziggler, effectively lost to Sheamus at RR last year. He thinks hes the Undertaker or something. One win over this guy and you become a main eventer. I wonder how long until he pulls out the "I beat Rock and Austin on the same night" line cause god knows he's done nothing since then.

by Zealous Sat 2 Feb - 1:30:11

Jericho is more concerned with putting people over than winning fake fights lol

Anyway I hope Punk headlines Mania, lord knows he deserves it and he's by far the best on the roster (yes including Rocky). I'm still holding out for a Cena Heel turn vs The Rock, that would make up for the predictable card.

you're not seriously about Jericho are you ! the guy is putting his ego to the side to put over young guys (something the rock and austin barely/never did) thats something you should respect.

Rock Lesnar is much better for the business than a twice in a life time predictable match or another opportunity for HHH to extend his ego. At least the outcome of that match isnt already known and it will actually be a good match...a match we havnt seen in 10 years when the two other matches have been done THIS year.

So much for your logic son..

by silver Sat 2 Feb - 5:08:25

Jericho is nothing more than a jobber to the stars these days. A win over him means nothing. There's a difference between beating Jericho, and beating someone like HHH/HBK/Taker/Austin/Rock.

And please, Rock has done plenty of jobs over his career. Difference is he maintains credibility by gee, i dont know, winning a match every now and then. Jericho hasn't been relevant since 2010.

Rock/Lesnar better match? Really? These guys have had two matches each over the last year. Rock was gassed after a few minutes with Punk. So what if the matches have been done within the year? Feuds usually extend for more than one match. I would have hated to see your reaction when Rock/Mankind, Punk/Jericho, Rock/HHH, HHH/Batista etc etc main evented 3 PPVs IN A ROW!

by Onyx Sat 2 Feb - 18:56:18

Problem with Cena vs Rock was it was just a one off match. It didn't lead to anything. It was like it never happened. Cena was back to where he was and Rock was off again.

by RealGunner Sat 2 Feb - 21:35:25

It is confirmed that the master of the F-5 will be appearing on RAW this Monday to 'address' his attack on Vince McMahon who was intending on firing Paul Heyman before being laid out.

by Onyx Sat 2 Feb - 22:39:00

Triple H will come out and challenge him to a match I guess.

by RealGunner Sat 2 Feb - 23:10:29

Would be better if Stephanie comes out first and and then HHH

dont contradict yourself dude, you're talking as if Rock Cena two or HHH lesnar feuds will go on beyond WM.

Now can you name 1 guy that Rock or austin put over big time ? thats what i thought. Jericho on the other hand is willing to come back and feud with up and coming guys now that he's done with wrestling full time. Losing doesnt make you irreverent, it's called passing the torch.

by silver Sun 3 Feb - 3:42:55

Lol.

How am I contradicting myself? What matters if the feud does or does not go past WM?

I find it ironic because it was the Rock who put over Jericho in the first place in 2001. He's also lost to the Hurricane (ffs), took a ton of losses/pinfalls against a very green Kurt Angle, lost to HHH and Austin at Wrestlemania, lost to a green Lesnar, Goldberg (hasn't got his "win" back), made his return at WMXX and lost to Evolution.

Now I know you're going to say he never elevated those guys blah blah, but who has Jericho worked with that has ELEVATED that guy to the next level?

by RealGunner Sun 3 Feb - 4:21:10

Following the Royal Rumble of 2004 i am watching Wrestlemania 20

Cena vs Big show for the US championship. Hard to believe how much the crowd loved Cena back then lol. Great match, he FUd him twice ffs. Won in a controversial way though xD

Chris Jericho Vs Christian Cage now. The storyline involving Trish was pretty interesting :bow:
