The 2005 Royal Rumble Match

Howard Finkel explains the rules to the crowd, before stating that it was time to find out who drew number 1……

“Medal” starts up, signaling the entrance of Smackdown’s Olympic Gold Medalist and one of the favorites to win it all, Kurt Angle. Kurt obviously is a bit pissed because of his order of entry, but he’s set nevertheless.

FINK: And now, let’s find out who drew #2……

Some very familiar music starts up, and out from behind the curtain comes one of the more popular faces on Raw and one half of the World Tag Team Champions, Eugene. Eugene looks overly excited to be entry #2, but hey, he’s special like that. He gets in the ring and then the match begins.

Eugene and Angle go at it hard, neither man getting the decisive advantage in the early goings, until the end of the interval when Eugene managed to hit Angle with the Retardoplex. The timer ticks down.

“BREAK THE WALLS DOOOOOOWN!!!!!!!!”

Another possible favorite, Chris Jericho, gets entry #3. Jericho gets in the ring and he and Eugene take it to Angle to the delight of the crowd. Jericho beats down Angle in one corner as Eugene waves to the crowd as the timer once again ticks down.

“STAND BACK, THERE’S A HURRICANE COMIN’ THROUGH!!!!!”

Major underdog The Hurricane gets #4. He gets in the ring and he and Eugene immediately charge to the corner where Jericho and Angle are located, and shockingly, Jericho manages to dump Angle out for the surprise first elimination.

Elimination #1: Kurt Angle by Chris Jericho (1)

Jericho goes after Eugene while Hurricane bides his time, getting in some shots where needed. The timer ticks down for the firth entry.

“AIN’T NO STOPPIN’ ME, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Shelton Benjamin comes out as #5, as well as being the 4th Raw entry in a row. As he runs down to the ring, a near miracle occurs as The Hurricane eliminates CHRIS JERICHO, to the dismay of the crowd.

Elimination #2: Chris Jericho by The Hurricane (1)

The Hurricane fights Eugene, this time letting Shelton be the one biding his time. Until the end of the interval where Shelton gets involved and starts to attack Eugene as well. The timer ticks down for #6.

Some bodies definitely are gonna roll, as Mordecai from Smackdown is #6. Shelton gets to fighting The Hurricane, leaving Eugene the misfortune of having to face off with Mordecai. Shelton plants Hurricane with a super kick on one side of the ring whilst Mordecai hits Eugene with a Spiral Bomb on the other. The timer starts up again for #7.

“GET UP GET UP GET UUUUUPPPPPP”

“Bombshell” starts up and the explosions go off for the entry of one half of the WWE Tag team Champions, Bubba Ray Dudley as #7. Shelton and Hurricane fight in one corner as Bubba tries to go after Eugene. Eugene gets the best of him, however, and ends up eliminating Bubba as the timer went down.

Elimination #3: Bubba Ray Dudley by Eugene (1)

“EVOLUTION”

#8 is none other than “The Game” Triple H. Eugene, Shelton, and Mordecai all fight amongst each other as Shelton goes after HHH right off the bat and gets a Pedigree for his troubles. Eugene manages to dump Hurricane out of the match as the timer is ticking.

Elimination #4: The Hurricane by Eugene (2)

“OHHHHH, OHHHH, SHAWN!”

“The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels struts down to the ring at #9 to a massive ovation from the crowd. Mordecai demolishes Eugene (including giving him another Spiral Bomb) and Shelton/HHH continue to do battle, so Shawn just plays it cool and relaxes in the corner for most of the interval until #10 is ready to enter.

“WEEEEELLLLLLLL, WELL IT’S THE BIG SHOW!”

#10 is the largest man in the match-up and one of the clear-cut favorites, The Big Show. He gets in the ring and a massive free-for-all ensues with everybody fighting whoever they can get their hands on. Michaels finally comes out of the corner and tries to attack a distracted Shelton Benjamin, only for Shelton to turn around and surprisingly eliminate him!

Elimination #5: Shawn Michaels by Shelton Benjamin (1)

Triple H and Shelton Benjamin decide to team up and double-team the massive Big Show. Meanwhile, Mordecai tries to hit another high impact move on Eugene only for Eugene to battle back and eventually eliminate him!

Elimination #6: Mordecai by Eugene (3)

Eugene runs over to HHH and knees him square in the head, leaving Shelton all alone and easy prey for Big Show to eliminate him.

Elimination #7: Shelton Benjamin by The Big Show (1)

The Rhino noise echoes throughout the arena, and Rhyno rushes out as #11. Rhyno gets into the ring and immediately tries to Gore Eugene, but Eugene sidesteps and then takes control. Triple H tries to single handedly eliminate The Big Show, but to no avail.

The fire explodes on the stage, which means only one thing: Kane is on his way to the ring as #12. He gets to the ring and shows his courage by going after the biggest man in the ring, The Big Show. Eugene, Triple H, and Rhyno all take turns hitting one another, as Kane shows his brute strength by delivering a MAJOR Chokeslam to the Big Show!

“HELLO LADIES!”

Dark-horse candidate Val Venis comes out at #13, and of course J.R. speculates on whether or not that will be a lucky number for him. Triple H hits a Pedigree on Rhyno, and Eugene manages to lock the monster Kane in a Crossface. This leaves Val to the Big Show, which is definitely not a good thing for him as Show chucks him out with ease, proving the #13 to be unlucky.

Elimination #8: Val Venis by The Big Show (2)

Eugene and Kane continue to do battle (with Eugene surprisingly doing better) as Rhyno gets to hit a Piledriver on Triple H. Unfortunately for him, Big Show needed another victim and so Rhyno was eliminated.

Elimination #9: Rhyno by The Big Show (3)

Kurt Angle’s assistant Luther Reigns gets #14. Surprisingly, he lasts an even shorter amount of time than Val Venis. He walked right into the hands of Kane and Kane proceeded to eliminate him with one throat thrust.

Elimination #10: Luther Reigns by Kane (1)

Ultimo Dragon gets #15, and someone in the front row that looks suspiciously like Funky Fly can be seen marking out. As he’s running to the ring, Big Show claims another victim by eliminating Triple H.

Elimination #11: Triple H by The Big Show (4)

Eugene and Kane go at it, and Ultimo goes right after the Big Show….AND MANAGES TO TAKE HIM OFF HIS FEET. Some unknown white fluid can be seen spewing into the sky from the front row.

“IF YA SMEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

Those words get the crowd ON THEIR FEET. And sure enough, THE ROCK is #16, apparently as one of the mystery entrants that was stolen from Raw and becoming a full-time guy again. He goes after anyone he can get his hands on, until eventually we see Eugene get eliminated after a strong showing. He was eliminated by Ultimo Dragon (fans begin pulling out their umbrellas).

Elimination #12: Eugene by Ultimo Dragon (1)

Some familiar music hits up, and GOLDUST comes out as #17, apparently as the other mystery entrant signed by Smackdown. Goldust is BACK. Goldust amazingly hits a Curtain Call on Big Show, whilst Ultimo gives the Ultimo DDT to The Rock.

Charlie Haas is #18, and he immediately chucks Ultimo Dragon (security eject a certain someone who tries to rush the ring in a rage).

Elimination #13: Ultimo Dragon by Charlie Haas (1)

Goldust delivers the Shattered Dreams to Big Show on one end of the ring. On the other, The Rock cleans house, first eliminating Kane and then seconds later Charlie Haas.

Elimination #14: Kane by The Rock (1)

Elimination #15: Charlie Haas by The Rock (2)

William Regal, the other World Tag Team Champion, gets #19. He goes after Goldust while The Rock lays the smackdown on Big Show.

“GET UP GET UP GET UUUUUPPPPPP”

Once again, “Bombshell” plays and the explosions occur for the other half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, D-Von Dudley at #20. He gets his shots in wherever he can as Regal eliminates Goldust.

Elimination #16: Goldust by William Regal (1)

“STAND BACK, THERE’S A HURRICANE COMIN’ THROUGH!!!!!”

The big Super Hero In Training Rosey gets #21. Everybody goes after one another throughout the interval.

“YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME?”

Edge gets #22 to a decent reaction from the crowd. He surprisingly doesn’t make as much of an impact as many people would’ve thought, as he is promptly eliminated by The Rock.

Elimination #17: Edge by The Rock (3)

The remaining 5 men in the ring continue fighting until…

“EVOLUTION”

The other Evolution member in the match, Batista, heads down to the ring as entrant #23. Much like the interval before, he doesn’t get to do much, as he is eliminated almost instantly, this time by William Regal.

Elimination #18: Batista by William Regal (2)

Everyone keeps fighting. Rosey hits his spinning special on D-Von. Everyone then decides to team up on the Big Show and Regal is the one to finally put him out.

Elimination #19: The Big Show by William Regal (3)

Last year’s winner, Chris Benoit, comes out as #24 to a tremendous ovation. He rushes to the ring as Regal makes yet another HUGE elimination, by eliminating the Great One himself, The Rock.

Elimination #20: The Rock by William Regal (4)

D-Von, Benoit, and Regal all work together to get Rosey out, and D-Von is the one that finally gets him out.

Elimination #21: Rosey by D-Von Dudley (1)

The two technicians, Benoit and Regal, work on D-Von and Regal manages to get him out.

Elimination #22: D-Von Dudley by William Regal (5)

“The Japanese Buzzsaw” Tajiri enters as #25. Regal and Benoit get back to teaming up, as they try to prevent Tajiri from doing any damaging kicks the whole interval.

“SO, YOU THINK YOU’RE UNTOUCHABLE?”

The Dr. of Thuganomics, John Cena, is #26. He goes after Regal while Benoit continues to work over Tajiri.

“CAN YOU DIG IT, SUCKA?”

The United States Champion Booker T rushes out at #27 as one of his old rivals John Cena is eliminated by Regal on the way to the ring.

Elimination #23: John Cena by William Regal (6)

Booker gets into the ring and instantly tosses Regal over the ropes to the apron before elbowing him out after an excellent performance by Regal.

Elimination #24: William Regal by Booker T (1)

The 21-year-old Rene Dupree dances his way to the ring at #28. Dupree works over Booker as Benoit and Tajiri continue to try and eliminate each other.

“YOOOOOOU LOOOOOOK SOOOOOOO – GOOD TO ME!”

Rico gets a GREAT draw with #29. Rico gets in and kicks Booker square in the head to the crowd’s pleasure. Benoit manages to shove Tajiri over the top and to the floor.

Elimination #25: Tajiri by Chris Benoit (1)

Dupree, Benoit, Booker, and Rico continue to do battle as the timer ticks down to the final entry, and who else could it be?…..

“VIVA LA RAZA!!!!”

Eddie Guerrero sprints to the ring at #30 to a MASSIVE ovation. So that means out final suspects are Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Booker T, Rene Dupree, and Rico.

It’s pandemonium in the ring, with everyone hitting moves on each other, particularly Rico, who hits everyone with kicks, including one that sends Eddie Guerrero out of the match – what a HUGE shocker.

Elimination #26: Eddie Guerrero by Rico (1)

Down to the Final 4. Rico almost instantly works his magic again, by eliminating Chris Benoit in the same fashion.

Elimination #27: Chris Benoit by Rico (2)

Final 3. Booker T tosses Rene Dupree out and over.

Elimination #28: Rene Dupree by Booker T (1)

THE FINAL 2

Booker punches Rico and tries to toss him over, but Rico hangs on. Booker tries to whip Rico into the ropes, but Rico reverses and chases after him, Booker bounces off of the ropes and Rico kicks – SENDING BOOKER OVER THE TOP

RICO WINS THE 2005 ROYAL RUMBLE AND GETS TO HEADLINE WRESTLEMANIA 21
