One of the reasons i order the rumble is see the surprises....
No K-Fed (even if he sucks i still want someone "new")
No Big Show
No Mick Foley
No Val Venis
The rumble was goood. But i think i would have enjoyed it a lot more if there was at least ONE surprise...

No Big Show is probably the biggest disappointment. It's not the Rumble without Show.

I was dissappointed in the whole thing. The no surprise thing was a big reason. The Rumble always has a few good surprises - Kane escaping from the looney bin, legends coming back- Perfect, Honkey Tonk Man, celebrities like Drew Carey, 3 faces of Foley, Taka continually trying to enter, Vince's blown knees, etc. This year- nothing. Totally predictable. I knew Taker would win and he did. Fighting HBK was good even though they botched they finish.

I wasn't disappointed in the Royal Rumble match, I think Taker is certainly main event worthy for WM23. I also thought the Last Man Standing match was good (predictable since we all knew who would win, but still good).
I was disappointed that the ECW match between Test and Lashley had such a horrible ending. I also would have liked to see Kennedy win. But oh well.

The ECW title match just sucked 50 different kinds of ass. I'm sorry, but there's no positive spin to put on it, and I've tried to think of something. Test spends time working on Lashley's arm, despite the fact that his finisher has nothing to do with the arm, then gets knocked out, comes back to the ring, and then...just says "screw it" and walks off? So then the booking is that Test doesn't care about the title, I guess? Is it supposed to show how intimidating Lashley is because Test just walked off? Meh. |

Test/Lashley was pretty bad, the match on Tuesday was better than this, the crowd didn't care much at all and it was dragging on at parts.
The SD title match I didn't watch as I'm not a Batista fan, and I didn't buy Kennedy at all as a contender.

I was really, really surprised that MnM lost.
Test/Lashley was...as expected.
The Rumble was still great, lack of surprises...because it is the Rumble. Finlay being in for a while completely shocked me.

I was not disappointed at all. The Cena/Umaga match was great, there were several times where I though Umaga would win, and I thought there was no chance in hell of him getting up from the missed splash through the announce table. And on top of that, the rumble itself was stellar, when Taker sat up and HBK nipped up, I got chills. Those two fought for a good 10 minutes, and I stood the whole time. Totally worth ordering it, in my mind.

So Test spends all that careful time blowing the triple threat match to smack Lashley in the head with the belt and go "THIS IS MINE AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!111" and then apparently he doesn't think it's his cause he walks away from the rumble match? Good god Test is dumber than Maria from a kayfabe standpoint. |
