Alright, I'm aware we already have the Official Royal Rumble Thread stickied at the top of the page. The point of this thread, however, is to simply make predictions in several categories rather than have a general discussion about the event. As usual, you don't necessarily need to list single individuals in each category, but any number of men who could potentially fit the bill. I'll start.
Winner: Triple H, Undertaker, Jericho and HBK.
Most Eliminations: MVP, Khali, Umaga, Festus and BDV.
Marathon Man: MVP, Kennedy, Santino, Jamie Noble and Ric Flair.
Surprise Entrants: Lashley and Matt Hardy.
Bushwacker Award: Tommy Dreamer and Kevin Thorn.

Can we change Bushwhacker to either Mo or Warlord since their eliminations were much shorter than Bushwhacker Luke? Winner: Most Eliminations: Khali Marathon Man: Ric Flair. Surprise Entrants: Lashley and/or Cena Bushwacker Award: Tommy Dreamer, Santino, and Kevin Thorn. John Tenta award (fat guy who requires the entire roster to move): Big Daddy V or Khali.

Winner: Trips Most eliminations: Taker or Batista (depends who's in it) or Umanga Marathon Man: Flair Surprise: Lashley Bushwacker Luke Award: someone from ECW John Tenta award: Khali (they did this to Vis last year, would be weird to do it so soon again)

I'd love a heel to win it...or someone totally unexpected. I don't think we've had someone totally unexpected to win it since either HBK in 1995 or Austin in 1997.
In all seriousness, I think 'Taker is going to take it again.
Winner: Undertaker Most eliminations: Undertaker/Batista Marathon Man: MVP Surprise: RVD Bushwacker Luke Award: Londrick John Tenta award: BDV

Can we change Bushwhacker to either Mo or Warlord since their eliminations were much shorter than Bushwhacker Luke? You may call it anything you want. I was aware there were guys who lasted shorter than Luke, but I called it the Bushwacker award for two reasons: 1: JR used the term in 2002. 2: Luke's elimination is memorable for how he walked in and literally walked out.

Valid reasons. I'll make note of this reference for future Rumbles.

Winner: I'd love to see Jericho take it, but he's somewhat expected; I'd mark like hell for an underdog. They don't necessarily have to give him the title shot; they have another few weeks of TV plus another PPV to take it away, so I'm gonna go with ... MVP.
Most Eliminations: Khali, Henry, or Big Daddy V ... maybe Batista or Undertaker, depending on if they're in it
Marathon Man: HHH, HBK, Flair, maybe Kennedy and/or MVP, Punk
Surprise Entrants: Boogeyman, Damien Demento, Chyna (would most definitely be eliminated by HHH), Goldust (hey, it's been a few years; he's due for another cameo!)
Bushwacker/Warlord/Mo Award: Gotta be Santino; I can't really think of anyone else who would be appropriate, unless someone is working hurt

The only thing missing is the Hulk Hogan award, which is not valid in this era. If you don't know what this is, I am refering to Rumbles 89 abd 92, where Hogan bitched and whined over getting dumped and proceeded to eliminate the guy who dumped him out (Bossman, Sid). Strangely in 1996, Vader did the same thing, and yet HBK still was allowed to stay.
Anyway, if the WWE were to bring this back for 2008, my picks would either be Umaga or Snitsky. For some reason, it would only work for a monster.
