Prophecies of The Tocc
Royal Rumble 2005
John "Bradshaw" Layfield vs. Kurt Angle vs. Big ShowTriple Threat Match for the WWE ChampionshipPrediction:Kurt Angle
Prophecy:I can see Angle headlining mania against the winner of the rumble or Show or whoever. WWE obviously doesn't think Bradshaw can carry a match, hence all the triple threat and fatal fourway crap. They did the same thing to Benoit (but in Benoit's case they were wrong). Frankly I'm surprised JBL has had the title this long. Update: Now I'm not so sure because JBL is featured on the promo for No Way Out. Will he retain?
Result:John "Bradshaw" Layfield wins

Undertaker vs. John HeidenreichCasket MatchPrediction:John Heidenreich
Prophecy:I'm really not sure about this one. Taker has been getting the upper hand a lot recently, but he deserved it after Heidenreich messed up his title shots. I don't know why they would keep booking the same match if the momentum isn't going to change to Heidenreich's side. It's the classic switcharoo. Historically I don't think Taker has much success in his theme matches.
Result:Undertaker wins

The Royal Rumble Match30 Man Battle RoyalPrediction:Batista
Prophecy:The top picks are obviously Batista and Cena here. Scenario 1 = Cena wins: He'd have to lose his US title and face either JBL, Angle, or Show at Mania (and he's not feuding with any of them right now). Batista is still free to take on HHH at Mania anyway. Scenario 2 = Batista wins. He'd complete his face turn and HHH would retain his title so that the two could meet at Mania (no way would it be Batista vs Orton).
Result:Batista wins

Triple H vs. Randy OrtonWorld ChampionshipPrediction:Triple H
Prophecy:This match is happening earlier than most of us expected. We all thought this would headline Mania. I don't know if they'll have a rematch then or what, but I don't think HHH will lose the title before then. Without the title, the tension with Batista would lessen, and that's not good for the storyline just yet. Keep in mind that no matter who wins the rumble, either title (wwe or world title) is up for grabs. Benoit used his RR win last year to switch brands.
Result:Triple H wins

Edge vs. Shawn MichaelsWhen Getting Screwed is a Bad ThingPrediction:Edge
Prophecy:Edge needs the push and HBK, as a true veteran, should put him over, and eliminate him from the Rumble in the same night.
Result:Edge wins
