Guys who aren't in the Rumble by default: John Cena, Umaga, Lashley, Test, RVD (probably), Mr. Kennedy...Kennedy, Batista
WINNER 1) Randy Orton - gives Cena a new challenger for Wrestlemania, builds new feuds for the upcoming year, and has a heel victory to counteract the three face champs retaining at the PPV. 2) Undertaker - allows for Taker to have one last tweener run, or prepare SD for a Batista heelturn/move to Raw, gives fans one extra memory of Taker, reward for long career of excellence 3) Edge - "You thought we were done? Think again, Cena!"
MOST ELIMINATIONS 1) The Great Khali - need to build monster heel for whatever main event at WM he messes up 2) Kane - one more time 3) Ric Flair - enters at 3, eliminates one guy every so often to keep fans wondering...could he do it again "Bah gawd, Kang. Can the Nature Boy do it again, on the fiteenth anniversary of his doing it the first time? The said he was over the hill then, and he's still going toe to toe with guys who weren't born when he won his first world title!"
LONGEST TIME 1) Kenny Dykstra, Montell Vontavious Porter, or CM Punk (applies equally to each of them) - seems to be the new blue chipper, the guy they want to get over and eventually lead the brand in the next decade 2) Ric Flair - see justification for most eliminations 3) The Great Khali - with the winner drawing a later number, Khali clears the ring and goes through new entrants one at a time, allowing him to stand in the ring motionless for two minutes doing what he does best: lookin' tall.
shortest time 1) The Miz - enters, Taker drops what he's doing, tosses him, back to business 2) Tommy Dreamer - one of the Great Khali's many eliminations 3) Daivari - Khali tosses him to make a clean break between the two, setting up Daivari's "all by myself" promo for Smackdown the next week and his usbsequent cw run
number one/number two pairings (to be interesting) #1 Randy Orton / #2 Undertaker - I love Randy's "Oops I crapped my pants" look when the lights go down and the bell tolls; makes either's win more impressive, and initially kills the "he's gonna win" mentality so many seem to have #1 RVD / #2 CM Punk - two big face pops and some great action to start it; allows both to do well and then get tossed in 15 minutes so no one claims they were "jobbed out" #1 Matt Hardy/Carlito/Sandman midcard face who can get a pop but not be expected to figure in the decision / #2 Booker/Finlay kind of heel who can look good for a long time, deliver and take beatings, and not worry about eliminating people to stay important
number 30 1) Kane - perfect monster to clear the field in a tired, crowded ring, then get clotheslined out by eventual winner 2) Sabu - a great wildcard to throw at the marks, since he is crazy; plus, he eliminates himself with a triple jump plancha off a prone Orton onto Bob Holly 3) HBK - looks like his health is catching up with him, so it'd make sense to put him in the "main event picture" while at the same time only making him work for 10 minutes
surprise entrants 1) Goldust - he always comes back. always. 2) Ron Simmons - Damn 3) JBL - makes his glorious in-ring return
The Finish It comes down to these final 6: Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Edge, Flair, Punk
[option 1] Undertaker throws a bloody Punk out like a ragdoll. As he stares down at the punk kid, Undertaker is eliminated by Ric Flair, who grabs the legs and lifts from behind. The final four are Flair, HBK, Orton, and Edge. They pair off and fight. Orton hits the RKO on Flair, picks him up, and drops him over onto the floor. Rated RKO double team HBK and have him in the ropes. Orton sees his moment, and shoves both Edge and Michaels out. As Orton turns to celebrate his win, Michaels skins the cat. Orton knows it's coming [mark of a champ: knowing your opponent], turns back around, and simply shoves Michaels to the floor. A perfect climax of false finishes and flickers of hope. Orton wins.
[option 2] Rated RKO eliminates Flair as a team. They turn their attention on Michaels and work him over pretty well. Meanwhile, Undertaker tries to power out Punk, who works the old "gripping the turnbuckles while off the floor completely but you still know I won't be eliminated now" defense. Edge goes for a spear on an HBK held up by Orton, but HBK ducks and Edge goes shoulder-first into the turnbuckle. Orton checks to see if he's ok, and an angry, bored Undertaker comes over. Flair and Punk = sorta dead. Taker eliminates Orton and Flair in succession. Taker, Edge and Punk are final three. Punk goes next, his being final 3 = rub, false hope for smarks. Taker eventually catches Edge as he again goes for a spear, picks him up, and last rides him to the arena floor. Big bump + Taker = huge finish.
[option 3] WWE bookers don't care. They think their new script will get a pilot greenlighted from one of the 4 major networks anyway, so they hit autopilot for the Rumble. Punk is out first since he isn't over 40 or a former world champ. Flair goes next since he's old. Taker goes next since he never wins Rumbles. HBK goes next because he's hurt. Edge eliminates Orton and Orton prepares for another face run because that would be bad for the fans, bad for business, bad for The business, and an all-around disaster, so it's obviously what they will do.

I really can't see Orton winning this year. It seems to be that a Rated RKO fued match at Wrestlemania would be where they were going.
HBK to win could be interesting, and i would actually enjoy that.
But the winner really should be The Undertaker so that he can turn heel, mess with Batista and eventually win at WM. However, more than likely Batista would turn heel and then have the Undertaker fed t him wasting the streak on a forty year old waste of flesh
