Talk:Royal Rumble (2011)

Wrestlemainia
here proves what I've put makes more sense. As you can see, John cashed in his chance at No Way Out, thus not main eventing WM as a result of the RR Devil (talk) 14:28, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Can someone lock this?
I'm tired of this page getting vandalized. Can somebody come here and lock it from non users?--Mikeymike2001 (talk) 01:37, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Miz v Morrison
The match is taking place on RAW, not announced for the Rumble. I'd remove it myself, but I don't want to accidentally mess up the table format.Freebird (talk) 10:03, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Del Rio in Rumble
The reference given says he beat R-Truth, but nothing about him qualifying/being in the rumble aside from stating he claimed he would win it prior to the fight with R-Truth. Is this an adequate reference? BulbaThor (talk) 00:37, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * He announced he would be in the Royal Rumble on RAW this past Monday.-- Voices in my Head   WrestleMania XXVII  00:13, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * In that source all it says is that "He said he would be in that match" Not that he is in the match all it meant was that he would like to be in the match. Because of this I have removed it from the page.-- Steam Iron  01:17, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Your saying the same thing in two different ways. And how is him saying he'll be in the Rumble match not enough.-- Voices in my Head   WrestleMania XXVII  03:18, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Cause that just him saying he's in the match and just because he says it don't mean shit when he's not even listed as being in the match by the WWE, who ever year list who's in the match leading up to the event and they haven't even started it. Look I'm not saying that he's not going to be in the match but as of right now he's not.-- Steam Iron  03:38, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Egh I guess we'll find out more tomorrow night on SmackDown

Alright, he's announced that he's gonna be in the Royal Rumble both on RAW and SmackDown. Do you need anymore proof that he'll be in the match this year.-- Voices in my Head   WrestleMania XXVII  02:37, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

I have found this, is it proof enough? Devil (talk) 11:42, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

40-Man Royal Rumble
The WWE's official Facebook account has confirmed the reports from Joey Styles' twitter that this will be the first ever 40 man Rumble match. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/wwe is the link for the Facebook page, so that should hopefully clear up the confusion going on right now with confirmed/unconfirmed reports of the change. --82.30.168.154 (talk) 19:05, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Look, I don't know who keeps removing Kane's name from this list, but if you bothered to watch either Raw or Smackdown this week, he's mentioned as being a participant in the Rumble match once again this year because it talks about his record of most eliminations in one rumble (2001) and questions whether he can break that record this year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.159.33.135 (talk) 01:49, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the show itself most certainly is a source. Not only is it a source, it's THE source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.159.33.135 (talk) 02:01, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

You're allowing the entries of Barrett, Gabriel, Slater and Ezekiel to stay up in the article based on the same information. They are not on the wwe.com list as of yet, but they were announced as entrants on the Smackdown program. That means it is a done deal, confirmed, official. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.159.33.135 (talk) 02:07, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

WHC match result?
Under results/stipulations, for the WHC match featuring Dolph Ziggler v. Edge, it says under stipulations that Edge would lose the title had he used the spear. However, I think it should be noted, perhaps with a * at the end of that stip note that acknowledges that Edge won the match despite using the spear while both Vickie Guerrero and the referee were incapacitated.216.157.195.66 (talk) 17:43, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Wrong Times Listed
I see time spent in rumble match and there is one glaring mistake. John Cena spent 34:18 in the Rumble, NOT 33:18. I have timed the match itself twice. Please see if we could get some official count on this. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.188.230.25 (talk) 18:49, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

The pay per view was on last night, and you have already timed the match twice? Don't get out much, do ya? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.68.100.16 (talk) 19:53, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Here is the official WWE link and they list Cena at 34:17. Some of your other times are wrong too. Please change this. Thanks http://www.wwe.com/shows/royalrumble/statistics11/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.188.230.25 (talk) 15:13, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Booker T
Let's get this straight once and for all:

Booker T should be listed as a wrestler form Smackdown.

The Rumble marked his return, and it was then announced that he was a member of SD.

A special guest entry is someone like Drew Carey/The Honky Tonk Man in '01, Jimmy Snuka/Roddy Piper in '08, or RVD in '09.

Those are guys who aren't/weren't under contract to WWE who made a one time appearance.

Obviously, this wasn't a one-off appearance. This is the beginning of Booker's latest tenure with WWE, and it is well documented that he signed a full contract.

Booker's "SD Clock" began at the Rumble, as that was the first show of his return.

Vjmlhds 00:01, 5 February 2011 (UTC)


 * As I have said there was no contract in place at the royal rumble but as we know a contract was signed later on. So it was a guest appearence.  STATic  message me!  00:05, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

So Booker just wandered in to the Rumble, and then Monday morning he signed his contract?

Come on dude, you're really stretching it.

Vjmlhds 00:09, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I have to agree with STATic, Vjmlhds. He was a guest during the Rumble. It wasn't until Tuesday when he joined the SmackDown roster.--Mikeymike2001 (talk) 00:12, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

There is a difference between a "surprise entry" and a "guest entry".

A surprise entry is someone who wasn't advertised to be in the Rumble (Tyler Reks, Hornswoggle, Dolph Zigger, and Randy Orton fit that bill this year.)

A guest entry is someone who is only appearing for the Rumble, (see Carey, Honky Tonk, Snuka, Piper and RVD)

It's like all the "guest hosts/stars" on Raw over the past couple of years.

Booker was a suprise entry, but not a guest entry as we now know.

Vjmlhds 00:18, 5 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Now it just seems like your making your own definisions up as you go to try to prove your point.  STATic  message me!  00:20, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

OK, define special guest entry as you see it.

Vjmlhds 00:22, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Here are 2 comaprison's to Booker's situation...

In 2001, Haku was a "surprise entry" in the Rumble...turns out it was his first night back after signing a contract with WWE. Drew Carey and Honky Tonk Man were "Special guest entries"...making one-off appearances.

In 2006, Tatanka was a "surprise entry" after not being seen in forever, that week he then went on to be a part of the SD roster, and is listed as such on the Rumble entry listings.

Contrast that with...

In 2008, Jimmy Snuka and Roddy Piper were "special guest entries"...making one-off apearances, and not being seen again for over a year.

In '09, RVD was a "special guest entry", making a one-off appearance, then not being seen again until signing with TNA.

Booker's appearance is similar to Haku in '01 and Tatanka in '06...meaning the Rumble was the start of a long term tenure in WWE, not a "hi and bye".
