  1. Pain medicated answers, let's see what I can come up with.

    1. Alberto Del Rio at 1 and Rey Mysterio at 2

    2. Since I'm unaware of what exactly the Diesel push is, I'm going to say who gets the Kane push and eliminates the most people: Mason Ryan. I think he comes in about halfway and cleans house on the people beating up on Punk. He'll get 8 eliminations.

    3. Alberto Del Rio. I think he comes in at 1 and goes into the final 4.

    4. The Undertaker, Evan Bourne, Triple H for sure, outside shot is Awesome Kong (I think she interrupts a Diva's match) and the longest shot of em all, Chris Jericho for a one night cameo ala RVD
    5. I went through both rosters just now and have gotten it down to my Final Four of people

    John Cena, CM Punk, John Morrison, Alberto Del Rio.

    Who I think should win the Rumble is Del Rio. Ziggler is not winning the strap at the Rumble, and if he is, it goes back on Edge in February. Del Rio is mad over, great heat, and has been doing quality work on both brands, being the one to really get himself out there about the Rumble while everybody else is stuck in a feud.

    I'm rooting for Del Rio to win just because I want to see if WWE has the balls to let him win. I'm not driving the bus of his fan club, but I think he's pretty good.

    John Cena wins though. I think they have Cena/Miz mapped out at WM and have been teasing it for the past few weeks. I think it'll happen like this

    Morrison eliminated by Del Rio
    Punk eliminated by Cena
    Del Rio eliminated by Cena

    2011 Royal Rumble winner: John Cena

  2. 1. I'll say Punk and Barrett.
    2. Sheamus. He cleans house for a while, and then HHH comes back and takes him out, and they brawl on the outside for a while.
    3. Punk
    4. HHH for sure. I think there's a chance for someone else. Probably not 'Taker, or Awesome Kong, sice she's rumored to be coming in on the Diva's Championship match. Bourne is ruled out. Maybe Tarver, since they showed him backstage this week. Long shot is Jericho. He teased it on his Twitter, so it's probably not happening, but it would be good pub for his book.
    5a. Who I think should win is probably Del Rio. Aside from Punk, he's the most dynamic guy right now. And Punk doesn't need it.
    5b. I'm rooting for Sheamus, simply because of how bad they've buried him, even with the King of the Ring win. But it's not happening.
    5c. Cena. It'll be him vs. Miz at WM. Don't know where that puts Punk, but that seems the most likely to me.

  3. 1. Which two wrestlers start the Rumble off this year? Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov

    2. Who gets the Diesel push? Ezekiel Jackson, Sheamus, and HHH

    3. Who lasts the longest? CM Punk

    4. Who do you think is going to be a surprise entrant this year? lol, HHH

    5. Three parter! Whom do you think should win the Rumble? I think Del Rio is ripe and should win this.

    For whom are you rooting to win? CM Punk, but it will never happen.

    Who IS going to win? HHH (tho i pick him every year)

  4. 1. del Rio and Morrison

    2. I can see Zeke and Mason Ryan both clearing a crowded ring of everyone except Punk and Barrett before facing off

    3. Morrison. A month or two ago, I would have said Bryan, who I was hoping would be one of the first two and make it to the end

    4. Triple H, Finlay, maybe Rhino? Bourne and Christian probably aren't ready

    5. Cena, Bryan (hey, he's 3-0 against Miz), Cena

  5. 1 - Cena and Punk

    2 - Cena

    3 - Cena

    4 - Ce... wait. I guess HHH, which could giv e him the chance of the Kane push where he comes in and just kills everyone. But I reckon he'll end up leaving the Rumble without getting thrown by eliminating Sheamus and then getting into a big fight with him outside the ring. Can't think of any actual surprises, given the names already thrown out... maybe some old 'legend'?

    5a - John Morrison. I'd almost go so far as to say it's now or never. He's come off winning a hot feud with Sheamus, he beat Daniel Bryan cleanly, and he's still got heat with Miz.
    b - Rooting for Punk or Morrison.
    c - Gah. I really want to say someone who isn't Cena or HHH, not that I hate those two, I'd just like a new face. So sod it, I'll stick with my guns and say JoMo will reignite his feud with The Miz by winning the Rumble. Though I doubt WWE would pin their Wrestlemania hopes on Miz/JoMo, so I would be willing to accept Miz/JoMo/Cena/Punk in a 4-way elimination match.
