2008 Royal Rumble Thread *BDCA*

[KingofOldSchool]

How many roids did Cena take on his roid...errr uhh road to recovery?

[HTrain90]

Looks like Jeff Hardy will never be main eventing again.

To be honest, I'd rather see them build something GOOD for the Intercontinental title for once. Jeff is ridiculously over, and he's competed with the world champion - use him to being someone else up and have a match at Mania. Kennedy? Carlito? Santino? There are so many mid-carders on RAW who could use a rub from Jeff that it's almost impossible for WWE to screw that up.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>They should have had HHH win so a jealous Cena can turn...but nope, we'll get HHH turning and the same fucking feud we've already seen.

Fuck this shit, seriously. No way I'm ordering WM.</font>

[HTrain90]

So anyway. Who were the last 4? No way in hell anybody is getting those points for tipsters.

Kane, Batista, Cena, Triple H

[Sting Fan]

I will admit I marked for Cena at 30.

It was my first show in well over 3 months I think and I liked it. That said if Orton retained (havent watched it all yet) Cena winning was the wrong call.

Now if Hardy won I would have marked hard to see Cena heel vs. Hardy Face at Mania.

Also is this the first Rumble winner from 30?

[NeanderCarl]

How was the reaction for Cena

Huuuuuuuuuuuuge pop when he came out, then the crowd turned on him during the exchanges with Triple H, but warmed to him after he won.


I cannot fuckin believe it. Do you think they exaggerated Cena's injury from day one to swerve everyone?

Because just three months ago he was "out for up to a year".

Taker won from 30 last year.

[Johnny Vegas]

Dude, if it is Hardy v. Cena at Mania, i think that the crowd reaction will be near Rock/Hogan via WM 18. That shit right there would be a fucking MAIN EVENT.

[The Naitch]

lol Cena

[CSL]

How was the reaction for Cena

Good. Until people realised they were supposed to boo him.

And to those saying 'Waste of money', 'worst Rumble ever' etc, get real. Also, if Cena had been announced, he'd have been one of the favourites to win and you'd still have watched the show and bitched, only difference is you feel this gives you a 'proper' reason to. Fact is, Cena = money more than anybody else WWE has. And your 'I H8 CENA' argument is a lot more stale than his act.

[SammyG]

Ya I marked for Cena too.

I see a 3 way at Mania. Orton HHH Cena.

HBK vs Taker too.

[Splaya]

Honestly, how did Cena get past HHH and the glass ceiling.

[HTrain90]

HBK v. Taker at Mania would be incentive for me to buy it. Even if it's gonna be something absurd like $70.

[Marc the Smark]

Awesome post!

But I'm surprised they went with Cena and not Trips or even Batista.

[SammyG]

Cena must have gone through some mad ridiculous rehab to get back. I applaud his effort. I will go on record, saying that I like John Cena.

While this is *BDCA* it is not SBA, infact she disapproves.

[Marc the Smark]

Yea, he must have pushed himself through rehab to get back and i think he deserves much respect.

[ClockShot]

Anywho, I'm calling it a night. Just a quick recap of the results for those who didn't watch or don't wanna go through 13 pages.

Flair wins by Submission.
JBL wins by DQ
Edge wins by Pinfall
Randy Orton wins by Pinfall
John Cena (of all people) wins the Royal Rumble.

Thanks to everyone who provided Play by Play or other info. Till tomorrow.

[KingofOldSchool]

Ya I marked for Cena too.

I see a 3 way at Mania. Orton HHH Cena.

HBK vs Taker too.

Taker vs. Edge

[HTrain90]

So I take it SmackDown! will have the chamber match at No Way Out? Who's in?

[Gerard]

So much for big show returning, cena returning nobody seen coming and im suprised they managed to keep it under wraps. Wouldn't be at all suprised i it was a last minute thing. And how the fuck did finlay get "dq'd" from the rumble for using the shilelagh? They showed in the build up kane nutting honky tonk man with the guitar, not the first time weapons have been used in the rumble, i recall steve blackman using weapons as well but now all of a sudden its a dq?

As usual the rules change on a yearly basis it seems..apparently hornswoggle got dq'd for being guilty by association. All the build up for him in the rumble and he was barely in the ring even. :roll:

[The Naitch]

Orton HHH Cena.

That was the first time a Raw guy has won the Rumble in six years.

<font color=goldenrod>I really do think this was the worst Rumble ever....not even because of the outcome. I swear at times the entries were under a minute apart, and bits of it just felt completely thrown together...not to mention people just laying around half the time.

Plus booking wise, some things just made no sense...why is Chavo in the Rumble despite being ECW champ? Why did ECW's supposed next big thing get eliminated within seconds? How did Finlay get DQ'ed? What the fuck?</font>

[Johnny Vegas]

All i'm saying is Jeff fucking Hardy was more over than HHH at one point so the WWE needs to take that into consideration god dammit.

Slightly changing the rules to fit a certain scenario is one of the most common practices in wrestling.

[owenbrown]

I cannot fuckin believe it. Do you think they exaggerated Cena's injury from day one to swerve everyone?



Yes. :nono:

[NeanderCarl]

That was the first time a Raw guy has won the Rumble in six years.

Okay, I forgot Batista was Raw when he won it in 2005. My bad. But still, since the brand split, the Rumble's been a near SmackDown whitewash.

[Xerzes]

No, seriously. WHO won the Rumble? What, Michaels? Punk? Kane? Maybe Taker again?

I think Shelton's stint was the worst part of this Rumble. They were trying to build him as credible, and he just screwed it all up. Well, creative screwed it up.

And will Kane ever do anything of note? Not like anyone thought he'd win, yet he stays in until the Final 4.

[SammyG]

John Cena.

[Splaya]

Someone find me a clip of Cena coming back

[NeanderCarl]

Overall I enjoyed the show. Couple of surprises in Cena, Snuka and Piper. Couple of nice nods to history throughout the show. Two enjoyable title matches. A grudge match which, whilst not decisive, at least achieved an objective. The "Hardy for Champion" hyperbole should cool now. No sign of Big Show. Unpredictable outcome. Good stuff.

Didn't much like the treatment of Santino and Shelton, and Finlay being disqualified was a joke, but what's a few flaws in a WWE PPV? Coulda been much worse. The lack of consistency in entrant intervals was more noticable than it should have been (they always do it, but COME ON, sometimes it was around ten seconds after the last guy actually got into the ring!)

Yeah but him going in, nailing the 3 ECW guys will tide him over. It's won't hurt him.

And Kane is 'comfortable'. He's always gonna be over to a certain degree, no matter what which is why he wasn't really out of place in the final 4.

[Heyman]

Dude, if it is Hardy v. Cena at Mania, i think that the crowd reaction will be near Rock/Hogan via WM 18. That shit right there would be a fucking MAIN EVENT.


I might have to agree. However - If Hardy is going to main-event against Cena, he NEEDS to go cleanly over Orton (i.e. no bullshit roll-up victory like he did against HHH).

Having said that - If the Cena/Orton is the main-event at Wrestlemania, the fans will probably cheer Orton anyways. Perhaps the WWE could try and do a double turn here? (a la Austin/Bret).

[KingofOldSchool]

All i'm saying is Jeff fucking Hardy was more over than HHH at one point so the WWE needs to take that into consideration god dammit.

And Jeff has more fan support overall than Cena.

[wwe2222]

I thought the rumble match itself was pretty damn good...lots of people, lot of talent, some surprises. One of the best in years I think

[McLegend]

I think Orton has a done a good job with the title, but Hardy had to go over. Hardy/Cena is way more intriguing then Orton/Cena.

It would have to been the first time where Cena wasn't the underdog. It would have been a different fun thing to see.

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

I certainly won't be ordering mania, and I think this was a terrible outcome, but I do think it's cool that they had a suprise entry win. I don't think that's ever happened before.

[NeanderCarl]

Another gripe... it was Kennedy who put Cena on the shelf, yet when Cena hit the ring he made a beeline for everybody except Kennedy.

It is obvious we are going to see Triple H vs John Cena at WrestleMania 24 now, based on the story of the Rumble match (Triple H's disbelief that Cena would show up on "his" big night and steal his win) plus the carefully orchestrated nose-to-nose staredown between the two which just so happened to beautifully capture the WrestleMania 24 banner in a perfect "build-up video package" shot.

You do realise this is going to end with Cena not winning the rumble. Since Hornswoggle was not eliminated they'll show some footage of Cena jumping over the top rope at the end of the match and both feet hitting the floor.

[Gerard]

aw shit..now i feel worse :?:

[Johnny Vegas]

Man, the main even for WM needs to be Hardy v. Cena v. Orton. FFS, HHH & Steph, let the young guys run the fucking company. That match alone has BUYRATE written all over it. All of those dudes are over: Cena = came back strong, has national reaction, cheer or boo. He will bring heat to the match regardless. Hardy = been the best he's been, WAY over with the fans and has a solid fanbase. Orton = been good with the title, get him more of a personality and he'll be one of the best of the next generation.

There is no way they could go wrong with that main event. i just do NOT want to see HHH in the fucking main event AGAIN b/c he's had his time and even if he puts someone over, it won't mean anything. Have Hardy win the match though, making it more special and setting up a storyline for those 3 for the future months. Vince, i am giving you the fucking answers right here, just DO IT.

[DaBrasko]

Dear God,
I know i dont hit you up for much these days, aside from the near "hep" miss a few weeks ago but could you please let wrestling not suck anymore. I mean we allllllll get the joke now.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Funny mention though: Mike the Metal Ed can vouch for me....

when I saw Taker and HBK as the first two, before the bell even rung, I told him Santino would be #3 and would get eliminated immediately.</font> :cool:

[Ninti the Mad]

Are you serious? This Cena bullshit is gay.

[RGWhat316]

WOW, I just cannot believe the shit I saw tonight. If I would'nt have seen it, I wouldn't have believed it. No way did John Cena just win the Royal Rumble!! I'm still in disbelief. I'm all for surprise winners, but not him! So the 6 months to a year injury lasted all of 3 months????? I really hope that he rushed this too much and gets injured again. Plus it seems that he has even made more history. I don't believe the Rumble has ever been won by someone who wasn't announced for it.

I actually thought there was some hope tonight since even Rey lost by pinfall. But of course the odds has to come in for 5 minutes and wins the whole damn thing. Great job, they blew their load again.

[DarKCentaur]

I just got back from the Rumble... while I thought the show was awesome (though I certainly didn't agree with the ending), I'm REALLY curious how it turned out on TV. The crowd was REALLY pro-Edge, and the Orton/Hardy match was evenly split. Also, when Cena's music hit, the place went nuts.... until his music died, then the overwhelming boos kicked in. I thought it was odd, the crowd was so confused how to react to Cena.

Santino got HUGE heat, the "Let's go Giants" chant was deafening, but no surprise there.

My section sucked (and the guy I was sitting next to smelt SO bad) but the energy overall in the place was amazing. Great PPV.

[Blitz]

Very very good show. Only match I didn't like was Flair/MVP. And Cena coming back was a legit surprise.

[DarKCentaur]

Also, the crowd was really into Kennedy, even though he didn't really do much in the match.

[Mr. Pierre]

Just got back. Had a blast at the show.

Flair/MVP was a good opener, of course Flair was way over.

JBL/Jericho went on a bit too long, and should have gotten to the brawling a bit earlier. Did its job though.

Edge/Rey was an awesome match with a great finish. Edge was extremely over, and it was about 75/25 Edge.

Hardy/Orton had a big match feel to it, and I really enjoyed it. Crowd seemed to be into both Orton and Hardy, and some people had a tough time making up their minds. Good match though.

The Rumble match itself was an amazing match to watch live. It was just awesome. Taker/HBK being one and two got the crowd immediately into it of course. Cena coming out 30th was a huge shocker, and I was in disbelief just saying "Holy Shit." Great surprise though, shocking the hell out of MSG (in a bad way for most though).

4 of my friends went with me, so we each picked out 6 numbers out of a hat and drew between numbers 1-30. Of course, the winning number wins the money. Drawing Taker, I thought I won. Then I drew HHH, thought I won. Then #30 comes out for my friend Dave, and the money is history...aw well.

Overall, I just had a very very fun time :D :y:

[94 SVT Cobra]

Approximately one year ago on jan 22nd i stopped watching WWE programing after a truly annoying ass monday night raw for the 804943080 time.


as the year passed i read results here and i noticed not much was changing but for a while, it seemed like there may have been an uplifiting coming i didnt know about because i didnt watch the show in over a year, and this was the one PPV where i truly could have been swerved back into watching depending on results......seriously.

Come to find out, i just saved forty bucks. Kinda cool

[Heyman]

Also, when Cena's music hit, the place went nuts.... until his music died, then the overwhelming boos kicked in. I thought it was odd, the crowd was so confused how to react to Cena.



VERY interesting observation.

Love him or hate him, the TRUTH of the matter is that Cena draws the MOST crowd reaction out of ALL the wrestlers right now (when facing top-tier opponents) Period.

This is a LOT different than the dreaded "X-Pac heat" (which many posters on here accuse Cena of garnering). YES - "boring" chants were evident when Cena faced guys like Umaga and Khali....but guess what? Even The Rock would get 'boring' chants against opponents like that!

p.s. As far as Jeff Hardy goes, I actually back the WWE's decision here. As hot as Jeff is right now, I think it would serve him better if he defeated a few more top-tier opponents (which would then further establish him as a main-event guy). There is a danger in pushing a guy too fast (i.e. Rey Mysterio).

Let Jeff feud with the likes of Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, etc. Have Hardy go OVER those guys. In the Summer, THEN you can have Hardy win the title.

Just my opinion.

[#1-norm-fan]

Out "Seven months to a year with a torn pectoralis major muscle"

Seriously, best swerve... EVER!!!!

I fucking love wrestling. :love:

[Dave Youell]

:y:

Agreed, it was a major swerve, it’s moments like that, which make me love wrestling.

I thought the show was alright, I don’t feel ripped off. Hardy really stepped up to the plate and has now elevated himself to the next level, have him win the MITB and got for a title again in the summer (I’m thinking Smackdown as Cena/Orton will probably take up most of this year)

It makes sense for Cena to take the win, he has unfinished business with Orton, as that feud never ended

This also means we might not see HHH in a title match at mania!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!

I’m sensing a tease for HBK/Taker at mania, which would be too ridiculous for words, that could quite easily be match of the decade

Overall, solid show, Rey dropped the ball, but the rest of it was quite entertaining

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Well, now that I've had time to sleep and get over the initial shock of Cena winning...here's my analysis:

Well, obviously, Cena winning makes a LOT of sense. Like it or not, he does draw, I guess my anger just comes from his constant overcoming of the odds no matter what. There's really only so far they can go with that schtick...I mean once he wins the title at WM, what else is left? Him turning heel after winning the belt would be the clear best way to freshen everything up and lead to all new feuds, particularly one against Jeff Hardy (who would replace Cena as the little kids/girls' favorite). Cena can trash the fans and say he never needed them, he can even point out that most of the crowd boos him anyway so they can fuck off, classic heel shit. It'll never happen, because I really think they want Cena to get to Hogan invincible status...but I can dream.

Speaking of Hardy...I dunno, unless they have a MITB win at WM in store, I see him being stuck out of the main event loop unless he were to go to Smackdown or ECW. They did a good job of making him look legit, but I think the match ending was great symbolism...worked his ass off only to get put to a dead halt by a move out of nowhere. It puts Orton over though, so kudos.

Overall, I give WWE credit. I said I wanted a surprise winner, and I certainly got it...the Rumble match itself just felt too thrown together as I've said, but still a good job of shocking everyone. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if Cena wasn't injured at ALL. I bet he just took the time off to film his latest film, and he just wore a sling when out in public...awesome swerve there, though it dashes my dreams of Cena not headlining WM.</font>

[Londoner]

Fuck, so all that hype only for cena to win the rumble? Bullshit. glad i didnt buy the ppv, and i may not bother withb wrestlemania as it'll be back to business as usual with cena winning. I dont really see anything that would've been worth ordering this ppv other than 'oh wow look its super cena'.

[NeanderCarl]

Cena vs Undertaker at WM would be very interesting, if they can pull it off.

[ClockShot]

Well. After a night of sleeping and blowing off steam, here's what I think of last night match by match.

Flair vs. MVP was a alright opener. Had a feeling the show would have some bumps along the line when Robinson fucked up that three count. Unless that was scripted. Flair lives another day. End of story.

JBL vs. Jericho. This could have gone either way cause it kinda was a bad mismatch between the two. Kinda interested to see where both men go from here. Really wasn't a big fan of this feud.

Edge vs. Rey. Rey gotta stop with the character crap at PPVs and hit the gym. Wasn't really that great out there this time around. Really stupid having edge fall into like three 619s in the match. Not a bad ending. Put Rey in another fued now!

Orton vs. Jeff Hardy. Crowd was hot for this. Honestly with all these high flying moves Jeff was bringing out (most of them missed their mark), I had him pegged walking out with this. But I think Jeff losing was good for him. Getting over HHH may get you there, but I don't see him "there" yet. Maybe throw him in one or two more big fueds, I can see a nasty Hardy Bros. fued down the road, and something with an upper card name, then hand him over the belt around mid-year. Not a bad out of nowhere RKO for the win.

The Royal Rumble. We went into this match knowing 24 names and 6 unknowns. Undertaker and Michaels starting it out took us all by surprise (one of many). However, everyone was getting thrown out way to fast. Let them hang around, chew up some clock time, then make your exit. I could care less about the structual integrity of the ring. Hornswaggle was chilling under the ring, I could see it falling on him.

Pretty shocked when Superfly hit the ring. Must be hurtin' for cash. Piper I thought I would not ever see again. I thought that cancer scare would be the end of him, but somehow, he made his way back and had his shtick with Snuka. Better start ordering some Nutrisystem.

And so we count down to #30. The IWC had either The Big Show, Ron Killings, Chris Harris, or the other guy whose name I can't think of at this time coming down. Would have marked out to see him come down and throw people in the audience, and maybe go toe to toe with Khali. But he got tossed early. But low and behold John Cena, gathering the strength of children and women screaming inside the Garden, makes his shocking return.

Was it the work of god? Or could it have been his body? Is it a new form of rehab the medical community does not even know about? How could a man with an injury that could keep a man out 6 months to a year make a grand return in only 3? OR, was it even an injury to begin with? Anyway, we're back to the original script yet again. Cena throws HHH over to win the Rumble. I'm only left with this question still buzzing in my mind ever since Cena beat Trips at 'Mania.

Honestly, how did Cena get past HHH and the glass ceiling.

It wasn't a bad show. Just got killed at the end when "he" came back. Would have paid $20 instead of $40 just for that instead.

[Londoner]

Im thinking this cena injury crap was aload of bs to start with, just an excuse to keep him from having to job to orton and now he'll go over at wm as strong as ever and we'll see a year long title reign.

[Innovator]

Was there live

Wanna know why the pop was big for Cena? All the guys had their jaws open silent

[NeanderCarl]

I don't think the injury was a hoax, but they MUST have exaggerated the severity from day one.

If it WAS a hoax, as well as being a stroke of genius in a day and age of lacklustre by-the-numbers booking, WWE also owes a refund to everyone who purchased No Mercy on the promise of a Cena-Orton Last Man Standing match prior to the "injury".

[KingofOldSchool]

Was there live

Well I guess it came off on TV that Cena got a huge pop coming, booed during the match, and a huge pop when he won.

But read somewhere else that he was booed beyond belief during everything. So maybe WWE decided to enhance his return "pop".

[Londoner]

Yeah its more likely the time he would be out for was exaggerated in order to have this surprise at the rumble.

-At least in my section, the reaction was, "HOLY SHIT CENA!......FUCK HE'S GONNA WIN"

-Conquering Romans returning to Rome got less of a reaction than Edge got last night.

[DarKCentaur]

-Conquering Romans returning to Rome got less of a reaction than Edge got last night.

Seriously, Edge was just ludicriously over. There was a guy in my section that was just retarded though... he was cheering Rey, and booing Edge at every opportunity. And he offered up this classic gem:

"Edge is gay because he's Canadian!"

A fair statement I suppose, but this same guy was cheering Jericho the match before.

[Volare]

Hornswoggle got screwed....there I said it.

In all fairness, if the guy was retarded, then he MAY have thought that Jericho was from Manhattan, New York. ;)

And in a lot of ways, that is the PERFECT reaction for John Cena right now. Whether it's via cheers or boos, Cena gets a HUGE response.


If ANYONE from the WWE is reading this right now, my suggestion is to keep Cena EXACTLY the way he is! (even if it means 95%+ people hating Cena).

With Cena technically being a face (but being booed like a heel), Cena also has a wider variety of opponents to feud against.

The KEY however, is to have Cena constantly feuding with top-tier opponents (i.e. Orton, Triple H, Undertaker, Batista, etc.). Hopefully one of these days, we see Cena/Rock.

If Cena feuds against crap like Khali (or fights non-main-event guys...like Umaga.....or guys that he's feuded with 1,000,000,000 times....like Edge), then the 'desired heat' will turn into 'boring' chants.

[Blue Demon]

I think Hardy should've gonve over, IMO.

[Londoner]

Nah it was the right result, it makes Orton look stronger now as we move closer to wrestlemania. And the wwe lacks a top heel atm so they needed to do that, i would even have him beat cena at wm just for the shock value of it.

[Jeritron]

talk about slapping the excitement out of everyone on here

Hardy gets jobbed clean and Cena comes back early to win the rumble.

Kinda funny actually. They completely blew a good thing, again.

Jeff Hardy's title push is the biggest missed oppurtunity since Jericho returning, which was the biggest missed oppurtunity since Kennedy being the bastard child, which was the biggest missed oppurtunity since something that probably came up a month or two before and so on.

Why do you people keep ordering the ppvs I will never understand

[Jeritron]

So Hardy beats HHH clean and then Orton beats Hardy clean

Where's the logic in that? HHH jobbed himself out to Hardy for no reason. He was better off just losing to Orton and saving all this for a later time.

[Londoner]

I never ordered the ppv, jeritron, glad i didnt.

[Jura]

I am watching it again right now. Looks like Holly broke HBK's nose when he entered the ring and stomped on his head/face. That guy needs to retire.

[Mr. JL]

Yeah, just downloaded the show and I'm glad I did not pay for this pay per view.

-I loved the Flair versus M.V.P. match.
-Thought it was silly to continue the Y2J-JBL feud and think Jericho should have won the match to end the feud.
-Not a big fan of the Edge-Mysterio match.
-I never really allowed myself to get into the Orton-Hardy match because if I hyped myself all up for a Hardy win and then he just goes on to lose, I would be thoroughly disappointed. I'm still disappointed and I think the Orton win left a damper on watching the rest of the show.

-Most interesting part of the Rumble was the HBK-Undertaker potential WrestleMania match, which would be sick! Cena returns... I was surprized for a second and then I stopped caring. And I got 2/4 on tipsters for my Final Four choices in Kane & Triple H which was cool.
