That's what I got off of seeing the results this morning (I decided not to get the PPV and couldn't check the computer last night.) It seems like it wouldn't have taken a genius to see how last night went. No titles changed hands, hell, no HEEL even won last night, which seems like a giant "Screw You" to all those guys, and it seemed like every match was booked exactly how the last few months of WWE have been booked. Even the Rumble seemed predictable (Khali comes in, destroys a buncha guys, and the only man to eliminate him is the Undertakah! Then, it's down to HBK, Taker, and Rated RKO, and Taker gets the WM ticket.)
Is it just me, or did anyone else see this coming?

I thought the Rumble's winner itself was very unpredictable. When you think about it, it's Undertaker's first Rumble win ever. He also is the first person to ever win a Rumble at #30, and he's also the first "big guy" to win one since Big John Studd in 1989.

i knew it was gonna happen, but I feel jacked. 0 suprises. I was hopin for at least ONE title change (most likely ECW). No suprise entrants! My friend and I were callin the action before it happend (i.e Sabu sets up table....my buddy Ryan "Yup he's going through the table." BOOM through it. We saw Flair at number 1... me "I bet Kenny is 2 or 3." Kenny is 3. Knew Khali was gonna be the guy to clean house..just thought it was gonna be mid match. ALSO, why so quick? It seemed it was 1 min intervals. I had 4 of the top 5 left right before the match started (I guessed PUNK would have been a wildcard). Thanks WWE. I feel like I just bought a prostitue and couldnt get an erection.

Good(though explicit) analogy there.

I'd be pissed if I had predicted something I didn't want to happen. But instead, the Undertaker (who's never won) won, coming out at #30 (it was a nice bonus seeing that long-time "no one who gets #30 wins" standard end) and beating HBK (who I didn't want to see win). Only thing that sucks for me, I guess, is that so many big name people got jobbed to Khali. If we had a clue what they were doing with Khali, it might have been better. Oh, and no Duggan. That blew. But overall, it sounded pretty bloody good.

I'm actually really disappointed I didn't order this show. From what I hear, it was just as good, if not better, than the majority of Rumble shows in the past.

I even called Taker being the one to eliminate Khali. WWE is being too predictable now. Just like last week's RAW ME... I saw all of it coming minus Orton throwing Edge over as I thought he'd RKO him.

Like i said in another thread: Why the heck run the MIZ and The Sandman out there for that? Theres two spots for mystery entrants. They got enough guys in the back, someone could have thrown on the Doink The Clow outfit....just for an example.

No it wasn't predicatable. Anyone could have seen a number of scenarios happening, and the Rumble could have had 5 different endings and we would have 5 different things saying the same thing.

IMO it was predictable at all when it came to HBK/Taaker I had no clue who was winning. Benoit/Rey winning the last 2 was predictable though.

If there wasn't any rumors about the Batista vs Undertaker match at wrestlemania from internet, the RR would hardly be predictable at all.

Kennedy beating Batista? Nope. John Triton...the Marine...losing to the Savage? Nope. Batista v.s. Undertaker at WM(it was predestined) John Triton v.s...hmm...Donald Trump? (it's a mess now) We're well informed as opposed to the days when it was "still real to us, damnit!" so it's not really the same as it used to be. That's just the Double E for you, I guess.

I was thinking more along the lines of height as well as weight. Yokozuna was only 6'5".

Predictable? It surprised the crap outta me. I was certain HBK was going to get it.

3 face champs right now... I would have LOVED a heel to win (i honestly think the shows are best when a heel has the title and there's this big buildup to the face FINALLY winning it)
But... MNM/Hardy match, Jobbing MNM right out, (when was the last time either of those guys won at a PPV?).
Test winning the title? Yea right ( and it was worse than I thought, its like they arent even trying)
Kennedy winning the title? nope, cause that would make TOO much sense to have him win it(uber heel, good on the mike, people would love him as champ, etc)... and it would mess up their long term plan of batista vs taker at WM(Kennedy being champ woulda made me start watching again... sadly no.)
Umaga cena match was the only one I thought the heel MIGHT win... sadly I forgot we were talking about super cena that always "beats the odds"
The rumble... There was too much buildup around undertaker and the title hunt where he was skrewed out of the title shot TWICE... Yes, sadly, this was very predictable.
Dont get me wrong, with the exception of the ECW title, this was an entertaining show. Just the results make me believe the weekly shows will still be the same since NO titles changed hands...
I wonder if WWE will ever listen to the fans again...

I didn't see it coming, but that might have been to do with me not watching much raw or smackdown in the run up to it. I figured Edge or HBK would win.

Yeah I went and saw it up to the test lashley match at hooters but I was "illegaly" parked next door and the guy at the building next door threatened to tow about 30 cars that were in his lot one of whom I was so I said screw it and I left since there was no where in walking distance to hooters. On the bright side Jerry Lynn, SoCalVal & Christy Hemme were there so it wasnt a total loss. But yeah checked the results this morning and everything went as predicted so i'm kinda glad I left.
