WWE Royal Rumble

1. Ric Flair vs. Kid Kash w/ Melina: Kash started the bout off on the offensive, before Flair bounced back with some of his own crafty moves. It went back and forth for awhile, before Flair’s size advantage took over, Kash couldn’t even lift him (cause you know, Flair is a massive heavyweight). Kash escaped the Figure Four at one point but then later on he fell to a knee breaker and a pinfall. Flair proved he was still a force to be reckoned with.

2. Women’s Championship Battle Royal: Trish Stratus certainly had her work cut out for her as she needed to defend her championship against 4 other women in one match. All the ladies went at it hard (not in that way, you sick freaks) for several minutes. The first elimination was a bit of a surprise, with Candice Michelle eliminating the much more ring-savvy Jillian Hall after a big splash. Seconds later, Stratus eliminated arguably her biggest competition, pinning Lita after the Chick Kick. Candice was the next to go as Torrie eliminated her with a facebuster. Trish finally eliminated Torrie by making her submit to a leg lock. Credit must be given to Torrie, she put up a good fight. A Trish/Torrie match is likely for the future.

3. Television Championship Match: ECW presented the match that was widely predicted to be the match of the night, with “Whole Fucking Show” Rob Van Dam defending his title against “The Showstopper” Shawn Michaels. The match started off slower than anticipated, with both men seemingly reluctant to get it started. It didn’t take long though for both guys to start pulling out all the stops. Drama ensued, RVD ascended the top to go for a 5 Star Frog Splash, but HBK put his knees up at the last possible second, foiling the move. RVD managed to bounce back and successfully hit a 5 Star, but HBK kicked out at 2 and a half, leaving RVD visibly frustrated. HBK knocked down RVD, tuned up the band, BAM! Sweet Chin Music. But HBK was stamina-depleted and he couldn’t make the pin. RVD mustered several more near-falls, but just couldn’t put Michaels away. Another Sweet Chin Music, and 3 seconds later Shawn Michaels was declared the victor. Shawn can now add “Television Champion” to the list of accomplishments in his illustrious career.

4. WWE Tag Team Championship Match: Mick Foley and Matt Hardy came accompanied by Mickie James. MNM, however, pulled a surprise. They countered Mickie by bringing out Melina, taking advantage of the fact that all superstars were present at the show. MNM utilized quick tags in and out to try and isolate Foley. Foley eventually got the hot tag into Matt Hardy and the score was evened out. Fights spilled on the outside and in the ring. Eventually, Matt planted Mercury with a Twist of Fate while Foley held Nitro at bay. Matt Hardy and Mick Foley were Smackdown’s new tag team champions.

5. WWE Championship Match: Two fan favorites collided in this one as Chris Benoit looked to unseat Kane as Raw’s champion. It was something of a styles clash right from the get-go. Kane tried to utilize his power, while Benoit remained focused on grounding the big man and locking him in to countless submission holds. Benoit tried his hardest to make Kane submit to the Crippler Crossface on several occasions, but it was not to be. Kane managed to bust Benoit’s forehead open with a big DDT and then he delivered a massive chokeslam to seal the deal. Kane retains his title.

6. ECW Championship Match: The ECW Title tournament final saw two men face off who were very familiar to one another: Randy Orton and The Undertaker. Orton opted to take the cowardly route: low blows, eye pokes, and throwing Taker to the outside to beat him down. Taker would have none of it, planting Orton with multiple Tombstones and a hellacious Big Boot that busted Orton wide open. Taker won the tournament and the ECW Title. The question now is: who will be able to take that belt away from the Deadman?

7. World Heavyweight Championship Match: As JBL strode to the ring in his limo, he looked cocky and sure as ever that he would retain his title, even against a wrestler the caliber of Kurt Angle. There was a lot of drama in this match, especially when it came to reversing and trading finishers back and forth. Sadly, the ending disappointed. Big boot to the face of Angle, busting him open, pinfall victory and successful title defense for JBL. The EXACT same ending as the previous match. Lame.

8. Royal Rumble Match: 2005 Royal Rumble winner and Raw representative Batista got the unfortunate #1 draw. Smackdown representative and United States Champion Finlay entered #2, just as he did in the 2007 Rumble.

24. Daivari
25. Gregory Helms
26. William Regal
27. The Great Khali

Here’s where I’ll pick the commentary up. When Triple H entered at #30, we were left with one representative from each show. Triple H from Raw, Edge from Smackdown, and Rey Mysterio from ECW. Surprisingly, Rey got the early advantage, nailing both men with hurricanranas and planchas. Edge soon took over, and eliminated the 2006 Royal Rumble winner. It was down to Edge and Triple H. Both men nearly got eliminated, but in the end it was Triple H who prevailed and will go on to WrestleMania.

One has to wonder, with back to back wins from the #30 slot, maybe that number is finally living up to the hype.

----------

A decent show. HBK/RVD was easily the highlight. The endings to the final two matches pissed me off though. I was kinda hoping that an unexpected person would win the Rumble, I forgot that its rigged so that main eventers enter in the last 3 spots almost as insurance to make sure unknowns don't win. Thank God Khali didn't win it though, otherwise he'd be a lock to win the title and hold it forever.

Khali probably had the highlight of the Rumble Match, though. He came in and started eliminating people quickly like in real life. He also worked with Daivari to eliminate Viscera, leaving them the only two men in the ring. Just when it looked like they had briefly rekindled their former alliance, Khali chucks Daivari out with ease.
