I will admit, it was kind of funny that WWE went back to the old running gag of Ziggler's night ending with Sheamus' footprint on his face (No, not because a smark favorite got screwed, but precisely because it is a running gag at this point that Dolph gets fed a steady diet of Brogue Kicks.).

5. No memorable spots, underwhelming surprises, anticlimactic finish and totally predictable.

It was fantastic until Ziggler was eliminated and we were left with the four most boring men in the WWE in the ring.

It only went around 55 minutes. It was better than the more recent ones and they did go with an endgame where there were a bunch of guys who could win, which was nice. Only problem was that Cena was one of them, so when you get to a certain point, you're pretty sure he's going to win.

7
Loses points because Bo Dallas of all people was picked from NXT to appear and get the 'Rumble Rub' and the predictability of Cena winning spoilt it a bit.

5. No memorable spots, underwhelming surprises, anticlimactic finish and totally predictable. This. The only royal rumble moment I can think of is Kofis chair, Daniel Bryan eliminating Kane and than Kane catching him after, Jerichos return, and Godfather coming in and that's about it. |

7 - Enjoyable enough, but nowhere near the best.

Just another Rumble. This isn't a good thing. The work was fine and I took no real umbrage with anything except for who won and how pedestrian the whole affair seemed to me.
The predictability is really starting to wear on me. The only thing not predictable was Jericho, which is probably my favorite highlight of the whole night.
I gave it a 5, and it was a painful 5.

- Kane got eliminated without getting the chance to break Michaels' record. You could have him get 1 guy away from breaking the record, and THEN have Bryan eliminate him right before he can eliminate someone. Much better story going forward for Team Hell No, Kane resentful about Bryan ruining his moment. This annoyed me too. It figures though. I wouldn't be shocked if Ezekiel Jackson in 2011 turns out to be Kane's last ever Rumble elimination, just to preserve their golden boy's record. |

Well, Kane threw out whoever that was that got thrown out before DB dumped him over. |

The final four completely ruined it for me. Huge sigh no matter who of the final four won.
Honestly, if it weren't for Jericho keeping the crowd interested from the start, this would have been a complete waste of my time.

I gave it a 7. I enjoyed it but there were a few wasted places (Khali, Otunga), then again I think injuries were a problem there. Shame Henry still isn't ready. The ending dragged it down too, it felt awkward and then you have Cena's stupid hyperactive face bopping around.

8 for me.
Ring filled up like it should do all the time and the match felt like a serious contest rather than a glorified battle royal with tons of comedy spots. It was a little lame that they didn't say much about Jericho or Dolph lasting so long but the entire match was fun so I'm not upset.

Solid 8. GREAT Jericho swerve. Some fun spots. Great showing for Ziggler, and then an epic final 6.
