[CYYYFYYY]

The reason why they could not drag out Owen is because there was a lawsuit.&nbsp; However there has been others that dyied that were not dragged out like Bryan Pillman.&nbsp; If Guerro had lived he probably would have won the belt instead of Angle

[WindowSill]

Because Vince will do anything to get heat on his guys. Itll be Orton
at 'Mania anyway. And do people still watch Smackdown? I hear they have
Tazz on that show now...<br />

I had always thought that Batista was going to turn heel on Guerrero and then Eddie would go on to win the title from Batista.&nbsp; That would have probably lead up to a great feud.&nbsp; Now I wonder, would Rey still have won the Royal Rumble had Eddie not died?&nbsp; And have you noticed how this Royal Rumble win hasn't been as hyped up as the others?&nbsp; Or is that just my ever diminishing interest in the WWE?<br />
