I'd mark like a bitch if Christian returns with his old pyro as entrant #30.

I dont want Christian in the Rumble as he would surely have to win it which he wont.

HHH I voted for. I dont want that either but you just cant keep the man down

Ideally for the WWE Title match I would like to see Christian interfere to help Edge win and screw Jeff out of it. Where they go after that is anyones guess but for the Rumble that would be perfect.

If he 'won't win it' then why would he 'surely have to win it' ?

Those statements seem to contradict each other. I want Christian in the Rumble as it's a good event for suprise returns... not because I want him to win it.

It doesnt really go against what I say.

I shall explain.

He wont win it because quite simply...he wont.

And to be in it as a big returning star you could argue that to make him look strong he would have to then go on to win it. I know there are other ways to make guys look strong but Christian returning is a pretty big deal and to have it just as an afterthought in a Royal Rumble match would be a waste in my opinion.

Plus his appearence has to have relevence I feel. Actually getting involved in a storyline straight away is best for him, getting involved in the title match with guys he has history with is the absolute best way for him to return.

Thats why I dont want him in the Rumble itself...unless of course by some miracle he won it.

A returning star doesn't necessarily have to win the Rumble to come over "strong".

What makes you think he is the big returning star though?

Not everyone is gonna remember him as fondly as you do and a large part of the audience wont have seen him on Impact so he could end up getting a shitty reaction, hopefully that wont happen though. He will do a good job as a surprise entrant round the 20 mark to get the crowd going again

Christ...I was just saying.

He would be a good addition to the Rumble, dont get me wrong.

I would just prefer it as intereference in the title match.

If you read my post you will realise I point this out.

I was going to go Jericho, and actually hovered over MVP for a moment (could just see the reaction if that's his first win in months - then have him v Matt for the ECW title maybe - let him have that belt for a while.

But then (unless I cocked up and clicked Y2J by mistake after all...) I went for HBK - Just thinking that if JBL takes the title off Cena at the Rumble, then HBK taking the title shot just seems logical - plus a totally different title match at WM to the obvious one

What? The edited after 57 minutes post? Prick

I didnt edit that part of it.

I added a bit at the end of a sentence as it made no sense.

Stop nit picking. I aint the type to edit posts to suit my own agenda.

I left the part you alude to completely untouched.

what a ridiculous argument that was :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:

as ridiculous as all those smilies?

It was a silly argument. I feel ashamed to be a part of it!

So who is watching it live tonight?

I am heading to a mates house to watch it. Love the Rumble, just hoping for a nice couple of surprises this evening and some good action.

Yeah, I'll be watching it live. Looking forward to it. I'm currently watching the WOYAH~!'s DVD to warm up.

And to plug: I'll be liveblogging it too, link in my sig (I hope).

I'll be watching and trying to stay awake for the duration. I'm watching the '91 event just now to get in the mood.

Ive ordered it...at the moment watching Edge vs Taker WM24, I'll down a beer every time Michael Cole says "vintage" something or "ultimate opportunist"

Gonna go for a cigarette during the final four of the Rumble?

I shall also be here - just like the olden days.

Work will be hell tomorrow, but it's the rumble goddamnit!

I Seconded that!

Shock - ECW to open the show.

I'd give the match 8 minutes air time!

PPV + Online Smashness = OLD SKOOL!

The Doc is already half loaded, has a fridge full of beer and a wife sound asleep upstairs.

Lock and load.

Swagger to go over.

Would kill his career if he didn't

That was actually quite good - don't think Grisham and Striker should be near a PPV though - that was a really intense and well laid out match that they made sound like filler on Velocity.

Nice match from ECW, and I'm 1/1 on Predictions.

Grisham's an idiot, but I'm a big fan of Striker.

Yea because that was a hard one to call
