WWE Royal Rumble Predictions/Discussions Thread - January 29, 2006

How the hell did Rey win? I mean, WTF he is shorter then my f'n mom. I am glad that cena won the title back.JoHn-CeNa346

even though a didnt watch the ppv the results sucked

- WHY THE FU#K have rey win the rumble

- cena wins the belt back , do wwe hate their fans or what

- helms is the cw champ , WHY THE FU#K make him champ hes on raw and he lost  jerry lawler at NRY

- the rumble wasnt the main event

 The Rumble....  I do have a problem with his winning purely because it feels like he's winning off the weight of Eddie's death. Would Rey have won if not for Eddie's passing and dedicating the match to him? I honestly can't believe he would have, no. I really like Rey as a wrestler, but I don't want to see anyone propelled to the top because their best friend passed away. If he ditches this whole thing of dedicating every other footstep to Eddie, I'll have no problem with Rey going on and being a champ, I just really don't want to see Eddie's passing used like that.

Cole: "Rey Mysterio has overcome so much in the past months. He lost his best friend, he was like a brother to him. Then he lost his best friend again, Batista. Rey's passion has it overcome the odds ONCE AGAIN and gets a chance to go to WM, what a curagious man"

Im seriously getting sick of this. And I cant wait to hear Cole saying "COME ON REY, YOU CAN DO IT, OVERCOME THE ODDS!" :roll:

WWE Royal Rumble 2006 Review

 Looks like we’ve got ourselves an early PPV of the year candidate already. What a PPV it was…

The opening match up was spectacular. Considering it had no build up whatsoever, it actually pulled off the PPV to an excellent start. Highlight of the match goes to London’s incredible shooting star press from the top turnbuckle to all the guys on the outside. Talk about suicidal? All competitors contributed in their own way and it showed in the match. The match was plain awesome. After watching the match, it really did enlighten me to know that the CW Division can rival against TNA’s X Division if WWE put their hearts out to allow it. Noble did an awesome job in the match and so did Helms.

Next up was Ashley/Mickey with Trish being the special ref. Crappy match IMHO. Highlight of the match was when James rammed Ashley stomach first to the steel pole on the outside. Botched ending n’all. The rivalry between Trish and Mickey is getting stale to be honest.

After that saw JBL/Boogeyman. It certainly captured the “E” but it was a pretty weak match. Nevertheless it is great to see JBL job in just a matter of one move.

I was surprised to see the Rumble match take place next. A definite must see though. I am chuffed that Hunter didn’t win. I was screaming at my TV and totally marked out with the crowd when Mysterio threw him over. On the whole a better Rumble than usual but I wasn’t exactly pleased to see Goldust, Tanaka and Eugene return in the match. Nor was I to see Coach last longer than Booker T. RVD got a huge pop and loadsa chants during the match. Too bad he got eliminated in the final four. I am pissed off that Rocky didn’t show up. Vince/Michaels will probably happen at WM22. Damn you Shane nevertheless. Anywho, emotional win for Rey. I am glad he won over Orton and Hunter. Period.

Next up saw Cena vs. Edge. I gotta admit, Cena’s entrance was pretty awesome. Anything to get him some pops ‘eh? I pretty much knew Cena would win then but eh’, the boos will return soon. Got to give it to Edge though. He carried most of the match up and got buried in the process.

The main event saw Henry/Angle. Henry is useless. I get so annoyed when I see him. He just gets in the way of everything. Crap main-event as I predicted.

Taker shows up? Is this the Apocalypse? Looks like we’re going to see Mr “I throw a fit backstage” Taker get a World Title shot time soon.

On the whole the CW Match and Rumble Match made this PPV worth my money. I give this PPV *** out of five.
