Right, the card ...

World Heavyweight Championship
The Undertaker © vs. Rey Mysterio

WWE Championship
Sheamus © vs. Randy Orton

ECW Championship
Christian © vs. Ezekiel Jackson

WWE Women's Championship
Michelle McCool © vs. Mickie James

Royal Rumble Match
Confirmed Participants : John Cena, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Ted Dibiase, Cody Rhodes, MVP, The Miz, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Jack Swagger, The Big Show, Evan Bourne, Carlito, Chris Masters, Shelton Benjamin, Yoshi Tatsu, William Regal, Zack Ryder, Batista, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, The Great Khali, Kane, Matt Hardy, R-Truth

Right, so that's 25 guys in the Rumble match, three matches which don't look all that interesting and one which COULD be good. The Rumble has plenty of decent talent and five spots for the like of John Morrison, Drew McIntyre and some legends to take which should be fun. I think I might just catch the Rumble match itself though.

Edited for stupidity's sake.

Looking forward to this tonight, but I'm like this for every Royal Rumble (I've even booked a day off work tomorrow so I can watch it live ).

It's always about one thing and and one thing only - the Royal Rumble match, so the undercard rarely has any significance.

Been watching a lot of RR matches over the last couple of weeks so can't wait to see what unfolds tonight.

Been watching a lot of them over the last couple of weeks and I can't wait to see what happens tonight.

The last few years have had a cracking undercard, if not in reality, then on paper. This one just seems to be kinda like "well, who cares ?" which is a shame, because this will be the first Rumble in a while that I don't go out of my way to see for a while, apart from downloading the main event from somewhere.

The Undertaker vs. Rey Mysterio COULD be good, because The Undertaker has been given time to heel and when he HAS gotten in the ring, you have been able to tell that. Sheamus has shown improvements, but I don't think Randy Orton is the guy to have a good match with him.

I'm going for predictions actually. The Undertaker, Randy Orton, Christian and Mickie James. Rumble winner to be John Cena, and he's going to go after The Undertaker instead of Randy Orton.

[Shuggie_Murray7]

So where are we all watching tonight. I'm hearing that O'Couture is showing it tonight because the Sports Cafe is shut. I'll probably end up there if it's on, should be a good night.

Anywa, predictions for tonight are:

World Heavyweight Championship
The Undertaker © vs. Rey Mysterio

WWE Championship
Sheamus © vs. Randy Orton

ECW Championship
Christian © vs. Ezekiel Jackson

WWE Women's Championship
Michelle McCool © vs. Mickie James

Royal Rumble Match
Confirmed Participants : John Cena, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Ted Dibiase, Cody Rhodes, MVP, The Miz, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Jack Swagger, The Big Show, Evan Bourne, Carlito, Chris Masters, Shelton Benjamin, Yoshi Tatsu, William Regal, Zack Ryder, Batista, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, The Great Khali, Kane, Matt Hardy, R-Truth

You hear correctly. Doors open at 11pm.

[The Naitch]

Agree with Shuggie's picks, apart from the Rumble itself - going for Jericho to win that one.

Just heard from my mate that he already has reserved us tickets, £4 each.


Bottle coors light £1.50
Bottle fosters £1.50
Vodka mix £1.50
Jäger bombs £1.00
4 pint Pitcher fosters £10.00

Not too bad I guess.

I reckon DX will jointly win, setting up HBK vs Taker and HHH vs Sheamus.

[Parscelona]

Here's what i'm going for,

World Heavyweight Championship

Undertaker © vs Rey Mysterio

WWE Title

Sheamus © vs Randy Orton

ECW Championship

Christian © vs Ezekiel Jackson

WWE Women's Championship

Michelle McCool © vs Mickie James

Royal Rumble Winner

Kofi Kingston (I think one of the surprise entrants will be Booker T)

Posted this on the other topic but does anyone know whether your Sky box needs to be hooked up to your phone line to get the Rumble?

Looking forward to this!

Yep, you'll need to have it connected to order it through the box itself.

Kofi to win the rumble is something that went through my head as it gives Randy Orton something to do if he wins the title, but he's a third wheel in a US Title fued just now, so i just can't see it happening.

It went through ym head too. I was thinking maybe a younger, unexpected guy would win it, Kofi or one of Legacy, but I just can't see it happening.

[DomDom]

Shit ! Aye !

I've got a new pick. Ted Dibiase. THAT'S what Randy Orton will be doing at Wrestlemania !

That was my pick weeks ago....although as the weeks have went on I'vegot less and less confident. I'd mark like f**k though if he did win.

[Liam.]

Is Edge likely to be back?

[DomDom]

It's not out of the question. I don't think anyone can be sure though. He might even be one of the 5 unconfirmed guys in the Rumble tonight.

So the rumourmills say. He'll be back in time for WrestleMania so it would make sense to set something up for Mania for him by having him at the Rumble.

John Morrison has confirmed his place in the Royal Rumble, so I can only assume Drew McIntyre will be joining him in there, making it 27 men.

I wonder if Santino Marella will be a surprise entrant, selling his "injuries".

I'd imagine so, which leaves two spots left. I'd love one of them to be Edge, with the other going to a 'legend' (Sgt. Slaughter or IRS, probably).

[football_is_academical]

Any live streams for the rumble? Or any sites to download it? Usually get my mum to buy it, won't be happening now as I have moved out.

Probably more likely to be The Godfather gimmick if he is to turn up.

[gordon the gopher]

Ricky Steamboat is due to be in the rumble tonight don't forget him

[Kyle]

My sky box office isn't working so gonna have to try and find a live feed on this one. Any suggestions?
