So, I guess "Neither" should have been an option on the tiebreaker regarding Christian and Mark Henry. Either way, no one got it right, so we can throw that out.
No one correctly guessed all four matches. Surprisingly, all Rumble winner predictions were a toss up between the two men actually left standing.
So results were scored by whoever had the most matches predicted, then the Dolph Tiebreaker if needed, then whoever was closest to Ryback eliminations (he had 5).
1st Place: Vertigo who had 3 matches, the Dolph TB, and was only 1 over in guessing Ryback's eliminations.
2nd Place: snabbit888 who had 3 matches, the Dolph TB, and was 3 over Ryback's eliminations.
3rd Place: wickedrex1 who had 3 matches, the Dolph TB, and was 6 over Ryback's elimations.
4. Joshi: 3 matches, 0 TB
5. mdale2k: 2 matches
6. dynamite81: 1 matches
Next month should be more competitive since there will be more matches. I'll also figure out some point systems so we can accrue points over the year and have a big GRAND CHAMPION at the end of the year.
Or not. We'll see.

Wooo! Third place! I'm actually quite happy about that, since I haven't watched WWE in months!  |

Fun idea, Vertigo. Hope you keep this going.
And that show was lame.

Hey, maybe it will spark some more conversation on the boards rather that just circuits and feedback.
The show WAS lame. CM Punk vs. The Rock just did not live up to the hype. It was going to be hard to do that anyway but it didn't even come close. And never, ever put a match on AFTER the Rumble! The crowd is SO exhausted by that point and even The Rock couldn't bring them back to life.

The match felt like a big match, even if it didn't quite deliver. The Dusty finish was unnecessary though. The Rock can beat Punk clean without hurting Punk's credibility. I thought the Rumble itself was great. End was sloppy, but Jericho/Goldust/to a lesser extent Godfather were great surprises. This year's Rumble match was a lot better. I was there live for 2012 and though I had a great time, it was just so much comedy. Really the only comedy I can remember from this one was Santino's bit of throwing the four guys out but not really.
I was a little disappointed by Ziggler in the Rumble. He didn't really do anything except almost get thrown out a bunch. I think making him the iron man was the right choice, but man, he could have done something useful during it.
Was happy with how Bo Dallas did too. I'm not completely sold on him as the next guy who should have been called up, but he did well for himself in the match. They let him stick around, he got a big elimination, and he seems to have his first feud now. That's a good way to debut a guy.

I don't mind The Rock winning the title, but he should have done it cleanly or not at all. It feels like a bit of a waste of Punk's 400+ day title reign for it to end like that.
I liked the Rumble more than last year's. Did not agree with the winner though. I'm not a big Cena fan, but most everyone already knows that. The thought of Rock/Cena II does nothing to make me want to buy the show. There has to be someone in there to take the match seriously, and The Rock and Cena normally don't seem to care who wins or loses a match. At least according to their promos.
Goldust was a lot of fun. So was Jericho. Even The Godfather had a good moment.
Del Rio is very entertaining as a face. Surprises the hell out of me since I hated him as a heel (like X-Pac heat).

I agree Josh. I really have no interest in watching Cena/Rock II especially knowing that it's probably about 90 percent that Cena's going to win and start another reign. I've had enough of him getting jammed down our throats now its looking like he's going to be the champion again. It's kinda like for me LeBron James winning the NBA title last year. Knew it was going happen, but I had no interest in seeing it happen, so I just didn't watch.

Somebody has to be last, so why not me!  I was going back and forth on the Rumble winner- Cena or Ryback, Ryback or Cena - missed it by that much. |

I actually think Rock/Cena II was the right call. But i'm betting we're getting a three-way!

I missed this topic, but I'm watching the Rumble now and I thought about something for the Rumble Match.
I have no idea why nobody has thought about tying themselves or using handcuffs in a way so that you can't reach the floor if tossed over the top rope. That way you can't get eliminated at all.

Not a bad idea but they wouldn't be able to defend themselves very well. Also, when there are only 2 guys left, the other guy would REALLY stupid getting eliminated by a guy who's cuffed or tied up.
