Okay, here's the official list of entrants from wwe.com
1. Shelton Benjamin
2. Chris Benoit
3. Carlito
4. Tommy Dreamer
5. Kenny Dykstra
6. Edge
7. Finlay
8. Ric Flair
9. Chavo Guerrero
10. Jeff Hardy
11. Matt Hardy
12. Hardcore Holly
13. Kane
14. King Booker
15. Chris Masters
16. Shawn Michaels
17. The Miz
18. Johnny Nitro
19. Randy Orton
20. Montel Vontavious Porter
21. CM Punk
22. Sabu
23. Sandman
24. Kevin Thorn
25. Undertaker
26. Rob Van Dam
27. Viscera
If earlier reports are to be believed, Holly is out. That would then leave four spots.
Recent (rigged) polls indicate Khali and Striker may likely make an appearance, but there's always the possibility of surprise entrants. Perhaps Monty Brown (or whatever he's being called these days), or someone else? And would anyone like to speculate on who took Triple H's spot?
Let the discussion commence.

I would expect Boogeyman to make an appearance.

Hacksaw!
Jim!
Duggan!
If they did that stupid sketch w/ Edge and Orton to give a reason why the 1st Royal Rumble winner isn't in the 20th Rumble, then I will be ticked.

Wouldn't surprise me to see JBL be in it honestly. Have his music play out of no where and him jump out of the announce table and in to the ring.
.....Or maybe I just want that for a good laugh.

Joey Styles said last night that "both Striker and Punk are in the Rumble". He could have been mistaken though, I guess.

As we all discussed in that pleasant thread about JBL eliminating the Miz ;D And I would speculate that Shelton took Triple H's spot, on the basis that Shelton wasn't in the original penciled-in list of participants, and Haas' name also isn't there. |

Dang it, Styles mentioned it during his match last night that Matt Striker is in the Rumble match...does the WWE not listen to their own commentaries?! I am surprised, though, that Dreamer's in the match. Just read his latest (and apparently last) ECW.com diary - he openly criticizes the product! Hacksaw! Jim! Duggan! If they did that stupid sketch w/ Edge and Orton to give a reason why the 1st Royal Rumble winner isn't in the 20th Rumble, then I will be ticked. Sadly, I think they'd just skip over him. On the other hand, it certainly gives him a good reason to be in the match now (since both Edge and Orton are there). If they have to give a "surprise entrant" spot to him......I would be quite fine with that.  |

I would think that HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN would be in it in order to start his feud with Khali (or whomever is going to wrestle him at WrestleMania). Althjough they are still hoping that the Big Show might be able to face HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN.

Althjough they are still hoping that the Big Show might be able to face HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN. I was actually thinking of something like that when I saw the poll where Khali was winning. Khali clears the ring dominantly. JR screams about "How can anyone eliminate this monster" and sends his sorrows to the next person. 10...9...8...7 JR hopes that the next person has made a will. ...6...5...4... Who is it? 3...2...1 Hogan. The moment his music hit, the people would explode and JR would start screaming like a bag of skittles were coming to the ring. Hogan stands, looking up at Khali, and then starts firing off punches which start to "rock" the monster. Khali counters with a knee and then The Brain Chop. Hogan goes down and Khali roars and does that arm thing. Hogan "Hulks up" and nails Khali with more punches before closelining the monster towards the ropes. Khali finally hits the ropes and Hogan bounds from one side to the other for momentum and nails the man with a closeline to send him over. Khali lands on his feet, and grabs Hogan, dragging him over the top rope. One chokebomb later, the feud begins. |

Sadly, Hogan will not agree because this means he's only in the Rumble for a minute or 2. And that probably won't mesh well with Hulkamania.  |

Hogan could probably be convinced if it was brought up how this builds his "awesome" Wrestlemania moment by bodyslamming Khali and how eliminating Khali is almost the same as winning the Rumble. |
