so what was with the "every superstar is eligible" thing and "end of the world as we know it"...both fails??what a letdown on those parts.

I guess we know what will be opening Wrestlemania.

Based on my scribble sheet, this would be my guess at what I think wins some of the bonus points:

Winning # = 22
Most Eliminations = Cody Rhodes with 4.5
Longest = The Miz
Shortest = Either Riley, Epico, Lawler (all were eliminated before the next entrant arrived)

Epico lasted the shortest. He came in and immediately got throw out.

Sat through that entire mess of a PPV only to have the battery on my laptop die when it got down to the final two.

so we had to see kharma,ricardo,cole,khali but no christian,adr,or mysterio

did any body get any of the surprise entrants?not being able to pick the ones that were announced by other sites screwed most of our guesses.

The only one that I see as a ? is bud picking Lawler. Personally, I wouldn't consider him a surprise (hence why I didn't say Cole, but he got my vote for the shortest), but I don't know if Abe will. For the sake of the game, I'd say the only surprises were Kharma & Khali as Ricky, Booker, Cole & Lawler are all "active" and we had already ruled Road Dogg & Hacksaw.

Since Cena/Kane went no contest, everybody is a loser there. And for the added match, most picked a Divas match, but it wasn't the exact one so I'm guessing no points there. Nobody got #2 or #30 so rule that out as well. Seems all the scoring for this was in the Rumble final four bonus!

I predicted as if I really saw them doing Punk vs. Bryan vs. Y2J for a unified title at Mania so that's where I lost a lot. I went smart booking over safe booking.

im just surprised with as many chances as we had for bonus points most of us couldnt get that many.

i cant see a unifacation match at 'mania but i can see punk vs jericho with the setup starting on raw tonight...plus over the past few years the runnerup has gone on to mania in a title match anyway.(except santino)

I'm classing Khali, Kong and Ricardo as the Surprise entrants only.

Cole, Book, Lawler are "active" so I ruled them out. And RD & Hacksaw were announce ahead of time. I know you could argue that RR is active too, but he's been off TV since Bertie disappeared, so in my book that makes him a surprise.

Cobra vs. Socko~!

I was also really happy with the reaction Road Dogg got, you could tell he was having a blast. The only thing that could of made that better, is if Road Dogg entered.... and then immediately wrapped himself around the bottom rope ala Royal Rumble 2000. . .

More / full thoughts when I can be arsed.
