I definitely think there's a chance. It's the surprise entry I'm hoping for.

given how bad wwe is with keeping secrets, if any big name was within 500 miles of the rumble right now, we would've heard about it already

Hypothetical even money bet, would you take Jericho or the field?
I think I'd take the field. I think there's a decent enough chance that Orton, Sheamus, Barrett, Punk, or Bryan ship it, Jericho is the favorite but I'd put him less than 50%. Really close though.

Close to 0. When/if he returns they'll promote it before the ppv so there is an increased buyrate. And surely they're paying Shaq and The Rock a ton of money already for WM and it's a stacked card. Adding Brock could be a potential net loss.

A RR entry makes a lot of sense for his career right now. It gets him a bit of money but more significantly keeps the name interest high and will help negotiate whatever he is doing next in life (i heard he was looking at working at some other MMA company or doing some pro graps again for a while).

Its true they tend to suck at keeping entries secret, but its certainly not unheard of, they kept Cena's entry a secret when he won it a few years ago going to the extent that he travelled there by bus and actually hid in a room no one else was allowed into until after the event started with the only entrants told he would be there were the half dozen who would be in the ring when he entered in 30th.

End of the world could be Jericho coming out to help screw Punk and not necessarily winning the rumble. Just throwing that out there.

There's a very good chance you'll see the F5 tonight but I think it will be Skip Sheffield who's doing it. I hope Lesnar is in the rumble though, I'm starting to get really excited, this should be a really good ppv.

People I am surprised were not drafted and/or who I would *not* be surprised to see:

Goldust
Bob Backlund
Rikishi
Bret Hart
Roddy Piper
Arn Anderson
Batista

People I would actually be surprised to see (no jokes about dead zombie people):

Sting (especially since he apparently blew out his achilles tendon last night and is done for good.)
Ric Flair
Shane McMahon
Rock
Austin
Brock

As the event gets closer the more I realize the surprises are all going to be dog**** and lame.

I dont think Arn Anderson could do much

Yeah Arn is as crippled as Bret is, right?

01-29-2012 , 01:37 PM
He is more crippled than Bret I believe

Also saw this on WON boards. No idea how legit it is but it will be fun to see if it lines up remotely.

This is wrong. Animal isnt showing. Pretty certain Kharma isnt and I also doubt Khali

I think there's a 75% chance that Animal does show, actually.

Prediction fail.

Spoiler:
Goldust #6 eliminates him to set up their WM feud


I wish i hadnt clicked that spoiler, but just how much its a spoiler or not time will tell. If its correct then we know:

Spoiler:
Miz and Truth are toss ups for first eliminated, possibly a double elimination.

Punk is losing the WWE title

Khali is in for some reason and will last long enough for the standard big guy to big guy vs Henry, hopefully this ends up in a Hall of Pain entry though

Kane and Cena in where they are almost certain to overlap means their feud will continue at least a month

Bryan retains as he isnt in the Rumble. See also Ziggler not in it.

Kharma in the Rumble? Holy **** if true and i was hoping she would make it back in time for WM, but if she enters she is easily the most shocking entry and its a huge spoiler for me kinda making me a sad panda.

She could be the reason they said all all superstars are eligible? Also any chance she wins? She could be Jericho's she
