The Impact's Royal Rumble Picks
by Impact on 1/20/08 2:27 PM
JBL versus Chris Jericho
I expect this to be leading to a WrestleMania match of sorts, and I think the first win in this rivalry will go to the returning JBL cheaply.
Predicted Winner: JBL
Career Threatening Match
Ric Flair versus MVP
Flair's career threatening match angle is going to at LEAST go to WrestleMania, so expect MVP to lose.
Predicted Winner: Ric Flair
WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Champion Edge versus Rey Mysterio
It's the Royal Rumble, and it's known for it's "filler" championship matches. That's what this is -- a filler.
Predicted Winner: Edge retains
WWE Championship
Champion Randy Orton versus Jeff Hardy
Now, this match has me a little uncertain about the usual Rumble filler theory. Because I've not seen a push like the one Hardy's getting ever. NORMALLY, in the WWE, during a fued like this, while one man gains massive momentum heading towards their match, the other person (in this case Orton) tends to get at LEAST one night where he stands with his hand raised. Because of how long this has gone on now, I would have expected that moment last week. Shockingly however, Hardy AGAIN gained the upper hand and took Orton out. So now I'm confused. Hardy's getting a push unlike anything I've seen in years. Not simply because he wins all the time, but because he's always gaining the upper hand on Orton, and anyone else thrown in his way! So I'm not so certain this match is a filler match, and it may lead to an interim champion. While the No Way Out rumors of the Elimination Chamber #1 Contender match state that both Orton and Hardy will be in the match, it would lead one to believe something will happen on a RAW that would make neither of them champion,... but we all know the card is subject to change. But Jeff Hardy might actually take the gold off Orton. I can't imagine how they can push anyone else more to take the belt from Orton if Hardy fails. So, unless it's a cheap disqualification on Orton's part...
Predicted Winner: Jeff Hardy
Royal Rumble Match
I've heard NOTHING this year about rumored people to win, but the way things are going, it's still early to even pick really. So I'll choose the three I think are most likely to win it, and of course, things could change to make it impossible for my picks to win, but here it is:
Predicted Winner: Triple H; Undertaker; Batista

While I really like your thinking, your one of the few people on here that knows what there talking about, I cant help but think that Hardy will not win at the RR. I don't think he has what it takes to be champion. His mic and camera skills are atrocious, and him being the champion going into wrestlemania, the biggest show for story lines, just seems like a bad idea.

Hardy will probably win at the rumble and if the rumors are true that Hardy and Orton will be in the Elimination Chamber match at No Way Out than i'm guessing HHH will lose the Royal Rumble and than win the Championship on an Episode of Raw against Hardy

I could see Jeff winning the title and then dropping it back on a RAW before No Way Out. However, I think the chances of it happening are pretty slim.
Edge retaining and Flair winning are both pretty obvious.
I also see JBL/Jericho being stretched to WrestleMania (or at least to No Way Out). Not sure who would win here, take your pick.
The Rumble itself, to me it's either 'Taker, Batista, or HHH. I think Taker is the most likely of those three but it's hard to guess. But then again that SHOULD be the nature of the Rumble.

the winner of the royal rumble match will be non other than, Hornswoggle
