The "fake" ending looked real to me, all the ref were holing there ear piece's and wondering what to do also Vince came out to no music (and I think banged his knee or something :lol ). This is the first time I though they fucked up when they didnt (or did they?)
Great show over all and lots of spots and exciting bits, best WWE show I have seen in a while.
Possible Inter-promotional Wrestlemania Matches:
HBK vs Angle
The Undertaker & Kane vs. Heidenreich & Snitsky

Maybe it's me but it looked like Cena won, I mean one of his feet smacked Batista in the back when he landed.
And well, if two people won.. one from Raw.. one from SmackDown.. would it be that hard to figure out who goes to Mania?
I'm sure they will use the ending as grounds for Cena's Mania mainevent.

Sounded like another predictable event. Everyone knew going in that Cena or Batiasta were going to win, and apparently they did that 'land at the same time' story which has been done so many times. And this time they even screwed it up it sounds like from reports. What reason did Vince come out and say restart the match for? Did he even give any logic for it, besides they flubbed up the ending?
EDIT: Ah apparently because they landed at the same time they restarted it, from what I read. What screwed up is that Batista landed before Cena, and they said it was a tie.

Be happier!!! The Whole show was good over all (for once

Yeah, it was hard to tell who's fault that was. To me it looked like Cena got his legs wrapped around Dave and couldnt get unhooked.. it was wierd.. but this is certainly possible when you do these "almost eliminated 30 different times" endings that they have. Im willing to bet there is an unspoken 'if they wrong person goes over, jump out with them and we'll restart it" rule of thumb.

First match was pretty good.
Next 3 matches were pretty lackluster.
Rumble was decent.
I always love the interpromotional stuff backstage at the Rumble.

This is far from the truth.
One of the best WWE shows in a LONG while. Royal Rumble was fucking amazing.
SO many hillerious and brilliantly executed moments. Vince entering the ring and injuring himself is going to be a memorable "classic" moment. Eddie stealing Flairs wallet, Flair trying to double cross Batista, Coach starting on Kane and Benoit, Undertaker match etc. Really good stuff. WWE are back on form
Anyone else worried about Ortan? He looked like he was about to die.... and the concussion was legit. I wanted HHH to end the match straight away, you could see Ortan struggling to move his limbs. At the end of the match HHH looked real worried. No taunting, no beat down (like usual) just a quick exit and a troubled look. You could see how uncomfortable he was as he left teh ring.
Anyway 9/10 Brilliant, wonderful, shocking and memorable. Best WWE event since Rock/Hogan wrestlemania (their first face off)
Whens the DVD out???
Orton is really hurt.. he was in la la land towards the end of the match.. I really hope he's ok.. but I have a feeling it was a really bad concusion.
and yeah, it was a five star show with a botched ending.. I think they were supposed to come down at the same time to set up Cena for the strap.

I was LOLing when Vince came in the ring and got injured and just laid there.

Hilarious stuff we've seen tonight especially with Cena and Christian. "Tyson, give me a beat." Classic.
As for the Rumble itself, predictable except the fall between Batista and Cena, but man did Paul London really hurt himself or what? That was one of the nastiest fall I've ever seen. Hopefully he'll be fine after the event.
I would have loved to see the interaction between Carlito and Christian for the petition.
All in all me and my friends were pretty much on the edge of our seat through the Rumble, the Smackdown vs Raw temporary alliances were pretty well done.

There is a reason The Best of Paul London in ROH DVD is subtitled "Please Dont Die".

Yeah! I would love to hear that chant in WWE i loved it in ROH, he needs to be in a few more matchs to show the fans what he can do though and some ROH fan need to start the chant and hope it catchs on!!
Stuff i loveed about the PPV
Londons elimination was brilliant, but I am sure he is ok after it. I remember in ROH he used to do a Shooting Star Press of the apron a lot and the way was eliminated was just an extension of that.
I love the way there was a small Raw Vs SD feud in the middle of the rumble as well.
I also love when flair tried to throw Batista out!! Funny!
I also love the Wrestlemania ad with Eugene.
Kane coming out the casket was good to.
The electric chair reversal to the Sweet Shin Music was nice.
Christians Rap was great and the quote give me a beat tyson will be in my head for ever. Cena's retaliation was nice much better than the stuff he does on smackdown
Eddie stealing Flairs number was a classic and the wallet just made it even better
The barrier spot was nice as well
Tazz a JR make a nice team ( I would love if WWE made the switch permanent on raw and shoved King to SD)
Mohammad Hassans elimination was also nice
Stuff i did not like
Ortons Fall (i was just sitting relaxed watching the match and i sat up out of my chair, it look bad his eyes were EVERYWHERE
No returns dissopointed me but i guess it aint that bad (New Jack or Lesner might come at another time)
The ending was bad, as sonn as i saw them falling out i shoted at the TV but Vinces antics and the comedy bit in side the ring made up for the bad ending
----------------
So much good stuff to say (I am impressed WWE)
Cant wait to see RAW now!!!!

Don't forget, Goldberg's posting a major announcement on his "ring" future tommorow on his website.

I've been a WCW fan since back in the day so I'm a natural Goldberg mark so I can't really hate Bill. I've always liked the character and all the great moments he had in WCW so if he returns to WWE, I wouldn't mind.

I heard that one also. Personally, I could care less about Goldberg. Lesnar however, I was expecting so much for his return tonight at the Rumble. I guess we'll have to wait a little longer if the rumours are true.
I wonder if it'll really happen. If yes, then this will be a pretty exciting year for wrestling.

As talk continues that WWE plans to put on an ECW PPV on June 12, more information has come out as to what it might be called. On January 18, 2005, WWE got a trademark on the name "ECW ONE NIGHT STAND". That could very well be what they call the show, which is already slated to take place in New York City. WWE has not confirmed yet that they will do the ECW show but sources within the company have told us that they expect it to happen.
I know that he was never actually IN ecw, but if I could fantasy book a match for that ppv it would be Paul London vs. RVD. With the rosters the way they are now, that's the best possible match they could have. No Franchise, no Raven, no Sabu, probably no Sandman... ugh. Hardly an EC-DUB reunion going on there.
I remember the show in Atlanta during the Invasion angle when ECW came back. It was fucking incredible, everyone standing up and chanting as the music played. Then they fucked it up by having WCW and ECW align, and putting Stepho and her evil breasts in charge of ECW. Horrible idea. WCW should have jobbed out to the ECW guys.

How can you not have a show like that in Philadelphia?

Then you would have had 2 promotions against ECW? That would have not worked either. Bringing back ECW during Invasion was a pure desperation move, and an expensive one at that. It was good for one night's pop and that was it. Now, combining ECW/WCW and putting them up against WWF could have worked. The 2 promotions that fought WWF for ratings (WCW) and one that was bumped off TNN in favor of WWF (ECW). But Vince didn't want WWF looking bad under any circumstances, even though in reality it was all WWF. I mean, to have a real battle, the other side has to have some wins to build it up. Vince wasn't hearing any of that.

They cant have it in the old ECW arena as it as been redesigned and doesnt allow wresting anymore. The place in NY they are planning (I dont know its name) is a good second though.
