So I watched Royal Rumble

Basically this is the first time I've seen anything WWE related in a long time - so I'm not up to speed with a lot of things. A few of my observations:

- JR is really starting to sound like Vince McMahon's old commentary voice for some reason. You can still hear his distinct accent a lot of the time but there were large patches of commentary when I could easily have convinced myself that it were Vince if I didn't know better

- I thought Vampiro was now in the WWE, turns out it is Jeff Hardy

- The Royal Rumble appeared highly innovative. May just be me, the last time I saw one was a while back but some of the stuff going on seemed quite fresh. A lot of good spots and I'm not afraid to say - I enjoyed Rey Mysterio using the bodies of people (Miz and Morrison?) to keep himself in the Rumble when he was thrown over the top.

- Randy Orton has come on leaps and bounds. Maybe just his momentum but the last time I saw him he was being forced as a main event threat now he is totally convincing

Overall it seemed to me that the WWE had a whole lot of good going on. Made me want to watch Raw and although I don't get the channels that show WWE, I'm looking about to see if I can catch it online somewhere.
