Shawn Michaels wins the Rumble. Wait I have more to say about tomorrow�s pay per view. And most of it is about the Rumble match and the big rumors going around about just which one of these wrestlers will win the match and go on and headline Wrestlemania. I will not be ordering the show, I�m very happy to say that one of my friends will be taping it for me. I can�t thank her enough for doing this. I have to be honest with you with the exception of just one match there really isn�t much that I�m interested in. But let me get right to my predictions. I�m enjoying reading the predictions that I have received so far, please keep them coming in.
MNM vs. Hardys
This is the only match that I really would like to see. There is no doubt in my mind that this will be the show stealer. Even with the severe face injury that Joey Mercury has you just know that everyone is this match is going to be awesome. I think they would be smart to open the show with this tag team match to really get the San Antonio fans going. You can bet there are going to be some off the chart high flying moves and I�m going with Jeff and Matt Hardy to beat MNM and piss them off even more.
Winner: The Hardys
ECW World Champion Lashley vs. Test
Test wins. Can you feel my enthusiasm? Test lost Tuesday to Lashley so in my books he�s winning tonight. I wish I cared about this match but I don�t. Bobby Lashley is going nowhere and I really blame that on Vince McMcMahon for firing Paul Heyman. ECW hasn�t been the same since the Heyman departure. Bobby Lashley is going down just like ECW is. It�s hard for me to see Test in a title match when you have CM Punk being held down, and RVD still being punished for last summer�s drug arrest. Listen as far as Van Dam goes, he deserved the punishment but I think Vince could lift it and get him back at the top to help ECW. Anyway look for Test to be the new ECW champion, oh boy how exciting.
Winner: Test
World Heavyweight Champion Batista vs. Mr. Kennedy
This is another match that does nothing for me. I like Kennedy, yet I feel something is missing with him. I just don�t feel any excitement with him. Maybe the gimmick needs to change and get more animated, something needs to be done. Plus, we all saw these two go at it in July. This is not a pay per view match, at least I don�t feel like it is. But Batista certainly won�t be losing to Mr. Kennedy tonight.
Winner: Batista
WWE Champion John Cena vs. Umaga (Last Man Standing Match)
This again is a match that doesn�t mean much to me. I think Cena deserves a much better opponent for a pay per view than Umaga. I�m hoping this will come off fairly well, I�m sure both men will do what they can to get the fans into it. There is no way Cena will lose, NO WAY.
Winner: John Cena
30-Man Royal Rumble Match
This match is THE most talked about match on the Internet. And that’s because the winner could be the Undertaker, Randy Orton or Shawn Michaels. Rumors have been crazy when it comes to the winner of the Rumble; I have never seen so many changes as the weeks have gone on. From the start it seemed like Shawn would win once Hunter got hurt, but then that changed to Taker getting the win and meeting Batista at Wrestlemania and this week Randy Orton seems to be the favorite because he would go against John Cena making it heel vs. face, instead of face vs. face should HBK win. I have noticed that the feedback that I am getting is equal when it comes to all three. This is one tough Rumble to call; there is nothing predictable about this match at all. I am sticking with The Heartbreak Kid. I’ll tell you why. First if the rumors way back were true, Triple H was going to win and face Cena at Wrestlemania. And supposedly they were not going to turn Hunter heel; it was going to be two faces going at it for the WWE title. With Hunter out, I can’t see why Shawn can’t get his spot. He will be in front of his home town crowd, and after what we saw Monday night, Shawn HAS momentum. He was made to look like the old HBK was back and he was after one thing, the title. I would hate to see him lose after Raw ended with one very determined Shawn Michaels. I do believe it will be Taker vs. Batista, and I also could see Taker winning since he supposedly will lose his first Wrestlemania ever to Batista. So a win for Taker would not surprise me. But a Randy Orton win would definitely shock me. While I always liked this guy, in the last year or so he’s lost what he had when he was with Evolution. I think he has benefited greatly being teamed up with Edge, and to put him in with Cena as headliners of WM, makes no sense to me. I just don’t see that match selling a large amount of buy-rates. As I said this baby can go either way and even if my prediction of Shawn Michaels winning doesn’t come true, I do believe he will be added in April’s main event, I don’t see them leaving him out.
Winner: Shawn Michaels
I realized that I haven’t been very kind about most of the matches. I always feel bad when I am so down on the shows, especially a pay per view, but it’s not to say that this show can’t come off like a winner. I would love to read very positive feedback about it once it’s over. If any of you will be there, just enjoy I’m sure live it will be fun. And for those of you that will be watching it on pay per view, I hope it comes off very well. And as I said I will get a tape by the end of the week and I’ll get to see just what I missed. Let me leave you with one request from a reader. Hi Linda I was just wondering if you or someone else knew if WWE diva, Brooke
