Just got a voice mail from Chris(well, just found out about it). He said something about two fans beating the crap out of each other or something(sounded like he said Islander fans, but it was really loud in the background.) He'll have a better description when he gets back. 2 Haku & Tama fans beating each other up at MSG? Wow, anything CAN happen.....

I just woke up at 3am to discover JOHN CENA won the Royal Rumble.
I can't think of a better way to wake up in the middle of the night (for like the 1st time in years actually) than this. I'll be convinced this was all a dream when I go back to bed.....then be shocked and awed again by this around 9 or 10am.

In retrospect, I don't mind a Cena-Rumble victory at all.
For one, it makes sense, with him getting a title shot/revenge against the guy who injured him*...
Plus, it won't be as artificial as Trips/Orton.

I would've gladly taken either Snuka or Piper to win the whole thing tonight. At least over Cena.
Hypothetically, what if Chavo had won? He's already a champion, so would he try to unify 2 titles, or give himself a night off?

Hornswoggle forfeited his spot when he left with Finlay.

Better Cena/Orton than Orton/Trips......
At least Cena/Orton has logic and heat behind it.

Y'know, it figures.
The ONE time...ONE TIME...I stay away from the spoilers, I go into a show as if I were watching it live. I invest an hour of my time and emotions into this match.
And John. f***ing. Cena.
Are you f***ING KIDDING?

Amazing surprise. Amazing ending.
This was a great PPV. I'm glad I bought it.
I'm also glad I stopped paying attention to the board an hour into it. Makes things better when you just sit back and enjoy things instead of defending them to people who hate...alot.

Wow is all I can say. WWE delivered last night, for sure. I am not even a John Cena fan but I thought his entrance at #30 was incredible. It was completely out of left field and it surprised the hell out of me. It was great seeing the fans (and commentators) go nuts when Cena came out.
Even beyond the big surprise, the Rumble was a great ppv. Neither title match disappointed, and the Santino promo was hilarious. Great stuff.

I'm with you. Flair/MVP was what it was. Wasn't expecting a classic. I though JBL was good cuz it had a lot of drama and was stiff. Can I use the work slobberknocker? that was a slobberknocker in every sense of the "word". I just wanted to say that really made me guffaw.

It makes sense from a storyline standpoint, it keeps the continuity going on, the fans (kinda) loved it. All in all a good decision on WWE's part.
But I'm livid Cena just came in, cleaned house and won the damn thing... Now I can go back ignoring RAW's main event scene. Orton v Cena? No thanks.
I'll spend a bit of a rant about Edge looking weak and stupid one more time. The man deserves better than that.

Piper was in there for, like, just over a minute.
And the only picture I saw of him is on WWE.com when Kane (who eliminates him, seconds later I assume) is coming to the ring. And he looked like hell. Giant gut, which scared me.
Snuka too, but he's old.
Yikes.

Did you notice I stopped posting after a dozen or so people who weren't posting suddenly showed up to the thread to complain after Randy won?

I liked the Rumble match quite a bit, and marked out when Cena won it.
Trips owning Foley again in MSG was kinda funny to me along with seeing Taker trying to headbutt Snuka. Honestly I thought Taker would dispose of Snuka like he did in 1992.
