[Big Daddy Bad Booking]

I'll tell ya what the set looks like in January . I really wish they use the old-school entryway, but that'll probably be a no dice.

[Next Level was WRONG]

Probably like a lot of guys trying to lift each other out of a ring.

I'll go for..

Marella
Val
Rhodes
Holly
Cade
Murdoch
Jeff
HHH
Umaga
HBK
London
Kendrick

Deuce
Domino
Jesse
Festus
Noble
Palumbo
Mysterio
Undertaker
MVP
Finlay

Miz
Burke
Stevie
Balls
Morrison
Kane
Big Daddy V

Goldust
Sid Justice
Hornswoggle

Mickie vs Beth

Kennedy vs Flair

Edge vs Batista

Punk vs Shelton

Orton vs Jericho

[Hiroshi Hase]

I hope they have the entranceway opposite the hardcam like they did at Survivor Series 02 and the Rumble in 2000. I liked that better for some reason.

[Steveweiser]

Jericho will be in the Rumble match, with Orton defending against either Jeff Hardy or HHH.

I like that set up, too. Has to be just an MSG thing, WM X had the same. It's too bad, as it looks so rad.

I say Jericho defeats Orton for the WWE Title, then enters the Rumble, wins it, uses it against the WHC, and before you know it, at Mania 24 we are crowning a new Undisputed Champion again... Y2J

[doytch]

the match has 30 men who have throwing eachother to ground until winner wins. winner this year will be world champion randy orton.

[seano]

I also hope they use the old fashioned MSG entrance. You'd think they'd always use that setupat MSG, as it allows for many more seats (and thus $$$) than if they put up the standard/boring titantron/rampway thing.

As for Rumble entrants, hopefully it's a more decent mix of midcarders and main eventers than usual, with everybody having a realistic chance of winning.

[Hulk With A Mustache]

I hope they use the old MSG entrance too. It makes the event more unique and stands out from the other PPVs.

[Dr. T is an alien]

Will Matt Hardy be up to wrestle at the end of January in order to be in it?

[krazysane]

I enter Number 15 And I get rid of Number 30 and I win it.

I always look forward to shows in the Garden for that very reason. I prefer the smaller entrance.

I was disappointed in the set-up for WM XX because they used a big stage.

The Raw a few months back (with WWE Idol) had that giant stage too, as have the last few Raws from MSG.

The last WWE show at MSG to feature the old fashioned setup was a ECW episode from late last year.

Maybe. Give him a surprise spot, perhaps - like Foley in the '04 Rumble: he runs out with a surprise spot, beats up MVP and eliminates him (and perhaps himself) quick. It'll send the message that the feud is alive and well and it gets way over with the crowd.

[Stu]

If only Vickie Guerrero were still a face. I could easily see her putting Jamie Noble in at No. 1.

[machinegun]

I don't care as long as Santino wins the RR

Impossible, as that would involve Santino winning a match.

Instead of speculating on who'll be in the match (because lord knows who'll even be with the company), I'll instead speculate about who the surprise entries are. (my personal favorite part of the match)

I'll say Dusty Rhodes, unannounced. He has a good working relationship with the company, and they could have him come out to help Cody or whatever. Other than that.... Chris Masters, maybe the Rumble is too soon, I do think he'll be back in the WWE, though.

[Nuke is Good]

Just for shits and giggles I want to have this booked: No one gets eliminated from the Rumble after like the last 10 are in the ring and when Big Daddy V comes in the ring collapses and leaves only one person left in, I dont know at the moment though.

I'm sure he does have a good working relationship because as far as I know he's currently employed by them.
