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.

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.
