Definitely satisfied with the actual Rumble match. Everything rumored to happen did happen, but in this case, I'm glad it did, because that's what I wanted to see.

But some of the other matches were bad.

Tipster performance:

I should have seen some of this coming, though.
- I actually considered a draw in the LMS match, but then chose HBK for some reason after choosing HHH. Of course. Benoit's going to face HHH at WM, so he has to retain. DUH. And WWE never has one person go cleanly over another, so HBK can't lose... so draw is the logical conclusion. Grrr.
- Bradshaw eliminated first. I was going to pick that then thought that since hosses are always loved, he couldn't go out first.
- Eddie winning. Heart said he wound, but I thought they'd try to start off his feud with Angle accidentally costing him the match. Maybe Eddie's going to be heel after this and feud with face Angle. Basically, he turned heel AFTER he won the match... he'll unleash a new vicious side of him, similar to what the writers tried to do when he killed Tajiri on the lowrider.

Whatever... decent Rumble... the end certainly was great though, and I'm glad it finished on such a strong note.
