replies: text: Because we only add matches that have been announced, and WWE doesn't announce matches 6 months in advance. TJ Spyke 21:22, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

text: No, and I never implied it. I am just saying that we don't add matches until they are announced. TJ Spyke 23:28, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

text: We've disputed this in the past. I personally agree that it's fucking ridiculous, but that's just the way it's going to be. Sorry, The Hybrid 18:56, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not that difficul to understand really. We only add announced matches, and no matches have been announced. TJ Spyke 00:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The ppv itself is based on the match. It's named after it. We already know what to write, 30 man over-the-top-rope battle royal for #1 contendership of the WWE, World, or ECW title, or some variation of that. The Royal Rumble match is never officially announced by WWE, because they know that it doesn't need to be. (Sawyer 02:49, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: 1)Yes it is confirmed by WWE, usually in late December/early January. Second, we don't add matches before they are announced. TJ Spyke 23:34, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Just saying, at the SummerSlam event, i provided an official wwe video as a source for a match and was told, that the match will not be added until announced on wwe.com - so i'm telling you the same. Diivoo (talk) 10:44, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Rumble 

message: According to PWInsider, who we can't post links to on here, WWE have confirmed that the 2008 Rumble will be at Madison Square Garden. When should we add this to the main page? Steveweiser 15:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wait until a reliable source (such as from WWE.com) comes up. Wrestling forum sites, like PWInsider, can sometimes deliver false information. For an important PPV like the Royal Rumble, I would think that the location would be officially announced on WWE.com first than that a forum site. MITB LS 03:14, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, unless it has been announced by WWE or a venue, it should not be cited. --Zii_XFS 21:37, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

text: The only thing confirmed in the city (New York) and that is because of a contest page at wwe.com, no venue has been announced yet. TJ Spyke 23:34, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

text: You'll be reverted as a vandal if you add it, plain and simple. The Hybrid 02:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Provide a actual source (i.e. the weblink). The only RR 2008 mentions I am seeing on their site are regarding the Jackass contest, which only mentions the city and not the arena. TJ Spyke 23:29, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Madison Square Garden 

message: That is ridiculous to have. First of all, ALL wrestling events are subject to change and they usually say this. Second, they have to list that in the source because the source is a contest page and legally have to be "subject to change" so that they can't get sued by anyone if they choose to move the event to a different location. TJ Spyke 03:01, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Subject to change" 

message: I took the liberty to add the poster, however, it doesn't seem to work. 
Could someone fix this? 
Thanks in advance. User:vinyldestination 11/27/07 1:22 AM GMT

replies: text: Here's an example of the poster not meaning much, Hardy beat Triple H tonight and will have a WWE Title match (likely against Orton since Orton had the title with him while taping the Tribute to the Troops special that airs next week). TJ Spyke 03:03, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poster

message: I do not think the WWE.com should be consider a reliable source mean just look at the site their always changing their own history mean the only time the WWE site is a reliable source is when a wrestler dies or gets fire other then that we can not trust anything wwe says [[User talk:supermike|supermike}}  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.111.122.70 (talk) 14:43, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Match results, PPV theme songs, tattoos of wrestlers, etc. Yes wwe.com does have kayfabe stuff, but they are generally reliable. TJ Spyke 03:14, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Agreed. While WWE soemtimes changes things, how can you say they are not generally reliable? TJ Spyke 03:07, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: reliable source

message: I don't think people should add in the WWE Championhip match for several reasons. For instance, say Y2J wins and HHH wins. There is so much time between Armageddon an the RR and a lot could happen, title change, injury. I think we should wait until after Armageddon, or until it appears on WWE.com etc etc as always. Also, the RR match shouldnt be added. I know they will have one, that's obvious, but it still hasn't been announced. Mark handscombe (talk) 16:59, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed about the RR match, disagree about the WWE Title match. While the RR match hasn't been announced, it has been announced that the winner of the Triple H/Hardy match at Armageddon will get a match for the WWE Championship at the RR. Yes the match could change, but matches can change at any time (even the day of the event). All we can do is present the match as it currently is scheduled. TJ Spyke 00:01, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Yeah, that sounds fine to me actually. But, I don't think it should say "the winner of the Jericho/Orton match will face"...I think it should just be "the WWE Champion will face", Just because theres a title match at Armageddon doesn't mean there can't be another title change, like No Mercy 2007 Mark handscombe (talk) 07:43, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I second the "WWE Champion will defend their title against the winner of the Triple H vs Jeff Hardy match", because there could be (won't, but could be) a completely different champion by then and also it's more succinct and easier to read, yet still factually accurate.Tony2Times (talk) 22:27, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So after the PPV lets say for example that HHH beats Hardy and Orton beats Jericho, are you going to put HHH vs Randy Orton for the WWE Championship or wait until WWE officially announces it? Well either way they usually, not always, have big title matches at PPVs. So chances are that its going to be the winners at this ppv. But there is still the chance of injury are the guy could somehow lose his first contendorship.Stillboy2191 22:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, after Armageddon it will be changed to whoever the WWE champion is vs. whoever wins between Hardy and Orton. Matches can change, but they can change at any time (even the day of the PPV), and if the match somehow changes before the RR we can just update it. TJ Spyke 04:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Matches 

message: Royal Rumble match is a unification for the ic and  WWE Championships due to jsff hardy is the ic champ  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.1.251.16 (talk) 02:38, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Source? Gavyn Sykes (talk) 02:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

text: 1)The Intercontinental Title is not on the line and 2)Even if both were on the line that doesn't mean it would be a unification match (unification in wrestling means two titles are combined into 1, whereas in boxing it just means someone has 2 or more seperate titles at the same time). TJ Spyke 02:46, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  unification 

message: I have included the WHC match. It was announced on SmackDown tonight by Michael Cole just before a commerical break. The winner of next week's "Beat The Clock" will face Edge.Please do not remove it. Stormin' Foreman (talk) 01:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nowhere did they say it would go on over a few weeks. In fact, both Cole (on SmackDown) and the preview for next week say that the BTC competition will take place next week (implying it's 1 night only). TJ Spyke 21:49, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

text: True that there is nothing saying who the #1 contender is (I know who it is because I read the spoiler reports), but it is confirmed that Edge will defend the title (announced on SmackDown last week, as well as wwe.com's preview of this weeks SmackDown). TJ Spyke 19:08, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  World Heavyweight Championship Match 

message: With these qualifying matches, are we really going to list each week who has qualified, and against who. If so, I think we should make a table of it. But, i doubt all 30 participants will be set up by q matches.  LessThanClippers (talk) 23:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Eventually we will do something like Royal Rumble (2004), and list them in a seperate section. TJ Spyke 23:40, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is highly unlikely that WWE will put all 30 entrants through royal rumble qualifier matches. Probably only about 10 superstars will undergo qualifier matches. Just announce them, we can delete it when the event occurs. GuffasBorgz7 (talk) 15:12, 3 January 2008 (EDST)
probably all the major superstars (batista, undertaker, shawn michaels etc.) will be in qualifying matches but then superstars like super crazy and great khali will just be put in the rumble  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaque jakester jake (talk • contribs) 05:45, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
