    As long as Triple H or John Cena don't win the Royal Rumble, i'd be perfectly fine with Shawn Michaels winning it.

    I'm not fine with any vet winning. WWE need to put over the younger talent badly and having HBK win again does nothing for them.

    Hopefully Kofi wins it, because I can't see Sheamus carrying the belt to Wrestlemania and his feud with Randy Orton which started well has kinda been forgotten and it'd be nice for it to spark again.

    But in reality, Anyone out of Cena, HHH, HBK or Botchtista will probably win. :icon_rolleyes:

    Kofi Kingston isn't a bad choice. I also wouldn't mind seeing Shelton Benjamin or John Morrison win either. I still believe Shawn Michaels would be a better choice then John Cena, Triple H, or Batista. As long as it isn't Cena, Triple H, or Batista, i'm happy.

    Shelton Benjamin should never, ever get a push.

    andy82 Your Soul, It's Mine!

    Agreed. He's great in the Money in the Bank match and that, but otherwise I don't really think he's up to it.

    I'd love to see Morrison get a push, but I think it'd be better to get it from the MitB, I don't think he's ready just yet to headline.

    Shelton Benjamin is one of the best pure wrestlers the company has. But people want to bang on him b/c he doesn't have mic skills. He had a match on Raw a couple of years ago vs Shawn Michaels, one of the best I have ever seen.

    Morrison and a lot of the other deserving wrestlers won't get a push b/c he isn't one of Triple H's boys, i.e. Sheamus.

    No doubting he's a great wrestler and an athlete, but the WWE has hecked him with stupid gimmicks (Team Angle, World Greatest Tag, Gold Standard) and simply buried him.

    Mike Want some Cheetos?

    as previously mentioned, his mic work is horrible
    until he can talk without stumbling and fumbling thru the promo, he cant be champ

    I remember back when wrestling used to be about wrestling rather than mic work.

    So now we have guys getting pushes who are great on the mic who cant wrestle (Cena) while guys w/talent get buried
     
  17. Mike

    Mike Want some Cheetos?

    im ALL for guys who can wrestle, I just dont see Benjamin being a guy who needs a push

    someone like Evan Bourne is far more deserving

    Say wha? Bournes mic work is worse than Benjamins! And the last thing I want to see is another Rey Mysterio.

    Like I said before though, none of these guys will get a push b/c the boss (HHH) is going to give his guys the nod.

    edit: I think Morrison is the best guy in the biz right now. If he isn't going to get pushed towards the title, none of the other skill guys will

    to be honest, ive never ever seen Bourne talk. When I read that Shemus was getting a push because of HHH, I was annoyed. But what can you do, HHH has the control.

    Does anyone else find orton vs shamous weird heel vs heel who are the fans supposed to boo?

    taker vs mysterio really is just a stupid match face vs face when there really is nothing to build up

    My prediction for the royal rumble is it will come down to hbk and triple h and hbk wins hhh beats the crap out of him after and turns fully heel which i would love.

    Edge costs jericho the rumble which will end up being a match at mania
