Eliminations You'd Like to See...

[Sumbody Gon' Get Dey Kneelift]

A big man elimination where everyone is trying to eliminate BDV, then Khali comes up behind, gets his arms under everyone, and dumps five guys at once.

That is my "I've always wanted to see this happen" elimination.

Also, though it isn't mentioned often, the RR is no DQ. I'd love one person to just bring a shitload of weapons to the ring, chairs, thumbtacks, etc, and just [glow=yellow,2,300]opened the gates of hell[/glow]

That would probably be my favorite rumble moment, just an insane middle segment where everyone gets busted open and fairness, sportsmanship and RR traditions go out the window.

Also, I've always wanted a DiBiase/JBL type heel to, right before his entrance, pay to have a STEEL CAGE lowered onto the ring. Then he just lets the guys beat the hell out of eachother as more people are forced to climb up and in.

He lets them just beat the shit out of eachother inside the cage, then finally has it raised, gets like 10 easy eliminations on people, but then is eliminated by a wily face or cunning heel.

I never get why people just don't sit outside and commentate for a while... i remember bossman just refusing to go into the ring against rikishi.

santino coming out at #10 and just doing a half hours commentry would be good.

Yeah, it just makes sense.

If I was in a Rumble, I'd go inside the ring to make sure I'm active in the match, then go under the bottom rope, grab a chair and watch the match until the final guy has been eliminated. Then climb in the ring and win.

Someone like edge(without title) coming in at number four and just leaving and going to the back and then the rumble carries on, then you get to the latter stages with everyone kayfabe forgetting he was still active and then him running in whilst the winner is too busy celebrating would be good.

This would set up a decent match for no way out and maybe a triple threat main event at WM.

I'll have The Undertaker, Matt Hardy, and Edge will play the parts as an example for this scenario.

Edge and Matt Hardy enter at #1 and #2, battling back and forth. Midway through the Rumble, Hardy has Edge over the top rope, when the lights go out for #13: The Undertaker. When the lights come back on, Edge is gone. Nobody knows where he went. Everybody in the back and the refs at ringside are looking for him. The Rumble continues, with Matt Hardy beating the odds to win.

The next night on Raw, JR and King sell that Edge went missing and never checked out of the hotel room he was staying in, prompting the police to investigate. Is this a possible kidnapping plot? Did The Undertaker do this? Hardy comes to the ring to celebrate his first title shot at WrestleMania, and says even though he and Edge have had their differences, he didn't want it to go this way.

3 weeks later, Hardy has a match with The Undertaker in a main event. At a key moment in the match, a man in a hoodie attacks Hardy, leaving JR and King to speculate if this is the stalker that got Edge. The man throws Matt over the top rope and reveals himself to be...Edge! Edge grabs the mic and says everybody prematurely declared Matt the winner. Edge said he waited until the right moment to attack and his plan worked. JR questions what the hell Edge is talking about. Edge explains that since he never went over the top rope, the Rumble has still been going on for the past 3 weeks with he and Matt Hardy as the final 2. Edge says he just eliminated Hardy, making Edge the winner in the longest Rumble in history and he's the one going to WM for his title shot, not Matt.

That's the silliest thing I've ever heard.

But to call it a "bad idea" would be wrong.

No, i think it's fair to call that a bad idea. I don't think any of that is logical in the least.

I want Kahli to pick up Hornswaggle and throw him as far as he can. It would probably hurt like hell but it would be damn entertaining.

didn't this happen? it was 2001 i believe... well at least the hardcore RR happened.

Have they ever had one wrestler throw his opponent into another wrestler, like a human missle?

Yup, I wanna see a midget tossing contest between Khali and Mantitty.

I too want to see the wee man be tossed around

I'd love to see it come down to the final two, and have them both go over the top rope and "skin the cat", and then duke it out on the apron until one gets eliminated. I think that'd be quite a dramatic ending, especially if it was two guys who had legitimate shots of winning the Rumble.

That would be one epic ending.

Paul London and Juvie did it in a CW battle royal. One of them finally pulled himself onto the apron to try to get back in the ring. THe other then used his legs to knock him to the floor.

We actually got something like this in 2001. Raven came out right after Kane and tried to use weapons to even things up. After Raven came Snow, Saturn and Blackman in succession. It got pretty fun for a while before the match got serious. Here's that part of that Rumble: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngFzkZgh3MQ


My elimination: Four upper midcarders/ECW main eventers are the final four in the Rumble. They each go to a corner and start to stare each other down. The most over babyface goes to the center of the ring and looks at the other three (preferably all heels), as if to say "Bring it on." The fans think this babyface is going to make the jump to the main event by overcoming the odds. The others make like they're going to attack, but then simultaneously about-face and jump over the top to the floor. The babyface wins in screwjob fashion forming a heel stable with the other three midcarders.

It'd be difficult to pull off. Obviously it needs a guy who can handle the stick and make the crowd hate his guts for fixing the Rumble. But if they did it well, that stable could run rampant over one of the brands for a long time.

That's a nuts/fun idea, and it starts the long discussed Promotion war.

Find me the logic in 3/4 of what's been posted and I'll buy you a genuine soft pretzel...

But that's the beauty of the Rumble. People have come in and danced, sang, swung chairs, Bushwhacked their way in and out in seconds, gone for pins, not even bothered to show up, etc. It's the most magical match of the year.

What I'd like is for Foley to make it to the final 4...then have Terry Funk emerge with a flaming branding iron to FINALLY get revenge for One Night Stand '06. As it's being held in the Garden, I'd predict a huge pop.

I really wanted them to do that last year with Sandman.

I'd love to see Terry Funk in any capacity at the Rumble. Would anyone else like to see Festus and Kane go at it at some point, with Kane eliminating Festus to end their feud from May 12th?

Wasn't really going for logic so much as something that would be over the top and what I would think would be an interesting and gutsy twist that hasn't been done yet (to my knowledge). Sorry to disappoint you if you were expecting a Shakespeare play on a wrestling topic about Royal Rumble eliminations.

[Sumbody Gon' Get Dey Kneelift]

No one's discussed my steel cage idea. Piffle.

And as for the GATES OF HELL concept, I meant it to be a lot more hardcore than the WWE stuff we got there. Like a LMS Rumble.
