Watched the 2007 Rumble again last night since we're coming up on the 10 year anniversary and I'm getting hyped to go to the 2017 Rumble. Damn, the ending with Taker and HBK is as good as pro wrestling gets. Taker sitting up looking over at Shawn who kips up as the crowd loses their shit gives me goose bumps every time. I still mark out for HBK and cheer for him to win every time even though I know he doesn't haha

That whole show was kinda awesome.
Great rumble and the fantastic Cena/Umaga Last Man Standing match.

MNM vs. Hardys
One of Cena's best matches
The Rumble
I remember thinking it was an amazing card, have only rewatched Umaga vs. Cena and it is still one of my favorite matches ever.

Even though Michaels & Taker were vets, that matchup at the end felt incredibly fresh & unique. Helps that their styles had changed completely from when they last faced one another

Who can ever forget the iconic moment....when Test gets deliberately counted out in a title match.

People forget how good the final 6 and final 4 parts of the Rumble was because of how outstanding the mini match at the end between Taker and HBK is. The pop when Taker eliminated Khali was gigantic, then he eliminated MVP. Then it was the amazing part when it was RATED RKO, Taker and Shawn as the final 4. RKO dominated them both only for HBK to return and do two of the smoothest eliminations ever, backdropping Orton over the top and SCM Edge over the rope, leading to the perfect sit up/kip up spot. Just an absolutely perfect Rumble and the Taker/HBK confrontation at the end was the icing on the cake. Hell even in the way HBK was eliminated was great, Taker using all his strength to lift Shawn, who was desperately struggling get out of it, only for Taker to hurl HBK over the top rope at a hell of a height It is one of my all time favorite Rumbles MNM vs. Hardys One of Cena's best matches The Rumble I remember thinking it was an amazing card, have only rewatched Umaga vs. Cena and it is still one of my favorite matches ever. MNM/Hardyz never got enough appreciation (for any of their matches together thinking of it) on this card, due to how outstanding Rumble/Cena and Umaga were and how Kennedy/Batista outdid it's expectations. Which is a shame |

People were already talking about how Shawn had been back since 2002 and had yet to have a match with Taker since. It was a huge moment for sure, even more so now knowing how it all ended for Shawn.

Which is a shame Man, Rated RKO was so badass. I forgot how great that run was. Totally revitalized Orton's career in my eyes. I had gotten so bored of him until that run. They had such a great run, I just remember them coming out and nuking whoever they please at the start of Raws at that time. From Flair and other legends, to midcarders, to Trips and Shawn, they did whatever they pleased and there were some deadly brawls at that time when they just came out and decided to dominate whoever they wanted. In retrospect they had a great run together, that could have been a little longer and their feud after should have been better than what it was (both being put in the MITB match at Mania, despite it being an outstanding match it would have been better if they had their own match outside of MITB, but it was covered up due to Edge's jaw injury at the time anyway. HHH getting injured/Shawn's push, Orton's suspensions etc all getting in the way) |

Probably the best Rumble match ever. Also this thread is a depressing reminder on how good Umaga really was. Truly the most underrated talent ever

Umaga rally helped make Cena look awesome without losing his steam, IMO.

The Sandman deserved better then the cup of coffee he had in the rumble I agree and to be honest I don't know how the whole part of who has to have the shortest time in or what not and how that works. I always saw it as they go in and do their own thing but make sure the winner doesn't get eliminated or anything like that but what ever happens in between that happens. |

Who can ever forget the iconic moment....when Test gets deliberately counted out in a title match. Whats worse is I think he and Lashley had a title match on ECW that week before that had an actual finish. Also, the IWC LOVED Kennedy at this point in time. Nearly everyone on this (WC) forum was hoping he'd win against Batista. |
