Gotta pull my **** card out for a moment

I think Royal Rumble, we should just guess first 2 to start

cause lets say I do HBK 1  Morrison 2   and it turns out Morrison 1 HBK 2...... both are technically number 1 as they start the match.

[Hammy]

I doubt creative toss a coin and say it doesn't matter, most years they choose who is 1 and who is 2 for a reason, and essentially you are trying to guess that reason.

Take when Michaels won from first, they wanted it to be as epic as possible, hence he was first, if he'd had been second it wouldn't have seemed as epic now would it?  

When Mysterio won from 2nd, 2 guys had already won from 1st so although they wanted it to be damn impressive, they didn't want yet another person to start 1st and go all the way.

From a wrestling, kayfabe point of view, I see your point, but in a time when people know wrestling is pre-determind, the predictions game is essentially about guessing what creative is thinking/planning.

[D]

Yeah,that makes sense. They've done a good job cause this is very hard to pick.

[Yankee1012]

If you get the #1, #2, and #30 entrants all right you deserve major kudos thats for sure, unless you work for the WWE, then no.

[BlowUpYourVideo]

Really have no idea who's winning the Rumble. Which is good I guess.

[EricxGNRxSTARx]

Shoulda,coulda.woulda! I was thinking about going with Edge but I figured he would be involved just not in the actual match. I am assuming we are just disregarding the MVP/Miz match? Cause I had the match order 100% correct other than that bout. Was it announced on .com before the show?

[t0ny]

i should have went with my first match order prediction 

[nightrain]

Managed to predict Edge returning.  But he bloody came in a position early.

[Hammy]

I am assuming we are just disregarding the MVP/Miz match? Cause I had the match order 100% correct other than that bout.

Of course, any last minute additions last that don't count cos its unfair to people who had sent their predictions in early.  And to be honest I think it was just announced on the PPV, it appeared that way anyway.

[Hammy]

Can't believe Jim missed the start of a game again, you could of scored big dude!

Doing the scores at the moment, someone managed to fill in the predictions form, except for guessing the Royal Rumble winner 

I'm half asleep doing this, so check your scores, I accidently typed the name "Triple H" instead of "D" a few minutes ago

LOL


Also amusing how many people went for Ryder or Carlito to be first eliminated. I was tempted to put Sheamus/Orton before the Women's Title but didn't. This is the one time I should have changed my predictions!
