    You need to download sopcast, and use internet explorer.

    Yeah, he's pretty freaky! I don't think we should post anything about the matches or results in this thread though, most of the folks using it are trying to find a way to watch the event and even though it has a spoiler warning it wouldn't be fair on them to check for tech advice and have matches ruined. We could start another thread for people who are watching the ppv though I guess, put a big spoiler alert on it so people don't get mixed up?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,894 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    im suprised they kept it secret considering everything else they have done has been leaked on the internet. Didnt like that he won though. straight away it's back to the unbeatable Cena thing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser

    same here , im delighted it wasnt hhh again , hopefully HHH wont hav a title match at WM, it gets a little boring:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    The return of SuperCena straight back into a title match is the only thing I can think of that would be worse than HHH winning it. The worse of two evils as far as I can tell

    Cena's capable of better matches, and he's a nicer guy. I'd much rather have him there. I only hope he actually is recovered and that he won't drop his title shot in the next couple of months. Unless it's to Jeff I suppose. Although Jeff looks kinda useless now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,042 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    Can we get a full run down of what number each entrant was?

    I want to see what loser I got!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,523 ✭✭✭joe123


    back to cena every raw beating everyone with the same four moves every week with the same boring promos...oh dear god the wwe just got rubbish again.

    In the words of the old ecw fans "same old ****...change the channel"

    Four moves? Cena has more than four moves, ignoring the fact that the number of moves has absolutely no relation to how good a match is. I don't think he's going to be wrestling every week, it'd be a bit risky considering he's back something like four months early

    Entrants:
    1. Undertaker
    2. Shawn Michaels
    3. Santino
    4. The Great Khali
    5. Hardcore Holly
    6. John Morrison
    7. Tommy Dreamer
    8. Batista
    9. Hornswoggle
    10. Chuck Palumbo
    11. Jamie Noble
    12. CM Punk
    13. Cody Rhodes
    14. Umaga
    15. Snitsky
    16. The Miz
    17. Shelton Benjamin
    18. Jimmy Snuka
    19. Roddy Piper
    20. Kane
    21. Carlito
    22. Mick Foley
    23. Mr Kennedy
    24. Big Daddy V
    25. Mark Henry
    26. Chavo Guerrero
    27. Finlay
    28. Elijah Burke
    29. HHH
    30. John Cena


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,042 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    Yep Tommy Dreamer.

    Can't see him getting a WM main event spot any time soon!

    You do realise you dont have to take that literally? I hate the guy. He is annoying and I find his wrestling and his persona boring. "here comes the superhero who can beat anyone". And he might have more than four moves but he is very limited in the moves he uses.

    Most of his matches are him shoulder blocking and clotheslining...and falling around the ring only to get back up and win.

    I hope hes not wrestling every week because hes god awful.I actually found myself enjoying the wwe for the first time in ages the last while.

    It will cheer me up to hear the "cena sucks" chants again even though hes supposed to be the face.

    I thought Orton winning was crap - but firgured it would happen, as I thought the long term plan was for Orton vs HHH at Wrestlemania - but with Cena winning they either have to move him to Smackdown (unlikely) or put him straight into a fued with Orton - so what happns with Triple H?

    The only real solution I can see is for Cena to fued with HHH for a month based on the Rumble, with Hardy continuing against Orton; then switch it up for the WM countdown. Boring, but its the only way i can see it playing out.

    I used to feel the same way, I stopped watching WWE for a good while mainly because of Cena. But then 2007 happened. His matches last year weren't anywhere near as boring or as repetitive (apart from the result I suppose) as his matches in 2006. The guy's got talent

    I found it funny the way the crowd popped big for him when he came out, until they regained their composure and remembered that they're meant to be the cool New York fans who boo faces

    Plans for HHH...either he'll wrestle Batista or he'll get thrown into a triple threat Raw title match. Batista's more likely I think

    True - still surprised there was no 'begining' to a 'Taker fued with Edge, as that would sort smackdown out. the one hing I would have against HHH - Batista is that it would more than likely involve Batista going over to Raw (cause HHH isn't going to demote himself to the 'B' show)- which takes yet another of the stars off SD!, who would be left? Edge, Taker and....

    Noooooooo say it ain't so!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 688 ✭✭✭merlinsmerryman


    His injury was expected to take between 7 months to a year to heal and he's back after what 3? I wonder if he is fully healed and if he will compete at the Mania at all. This could easily be another WWE/Vince stunt. A surprise appearance at the Rumble will generate huge interest for WWE. Don't be surprised to see Raw do huge ratings tonight.
