Not surprised that Eddie, Benoit, Jericho, Rey and Edge were used early on. They were carrying the match.

My MVP is to Rey Mysterio....followed by Edge.

Cant believe that the casket match actually had me watching , nice work WWE..they worked that match well.

Both Title matches were fairly good as well.

Overall, A big contender for PPV of the year.

I was really feeling that HBK v Edge match, in my mind was the best next to the actual Rumble match.

Shots to the WWE for mentioning New Zealand twice. Uppin that. 1.

At one stage there were 11 active men in the rumble at one time (as Scotty walked out). Is that a record? Shortly after that Booker T took a couple of guys out then went out himself, along with Scotty leaving so it was quickly back to 7.

I thought the moments that came along from time to time early in the rumble were well done. Good to keep the interest going. I was disappointed with Hassan's exit but at the same time it's good for him as his participation in the rumble was especially memorable. Also while I find the whole Smackdown / Raw rivalry annoying and pointless, the moment where I think Eddie, Booker T, Rey, Benoit, Edge, Jericho and I think Shelton and Luther all squared off was nice. I actually thought they might start singing at that point, just like the promotion :lol:

That smackdown vs raw thing worked out great.

for me it was one of the better rumbles..

Smackdown could easily turn from the B show to the A show if they let eddie have a decent story...the guy is great to watch in ring and his charracter is great..then you've also got Carlito who will be a star.

Great PPV allround, a few of things:

1. Flair attempting to rid the Rumble of Batista? There is the final straw for the big man and will be catalyst for the end of Evolution on Raw.

2. Cruiserweight going by the surname of London (can't recall first name), you have to feel for the guy after that clothesline where he landed awkwardly outside the ring...awesome footage though I am not sure it was scripted to be that spectacular.

3. One blight on the PPV, having Coach in the Rumble. A joke.

Most of the positives have been said thus far and I will leave it at that. I will end it by saying I look forward to Angle renewing rivalries with the RAW guys, he is awesome to watch IMO and brings the closest "realism" to sports entertainment.

Paul London wasnt hurt, his one of the best crusierweights to come into the wwe in many years..

I personally feel if he beefs up a tiny bit more he can be another HBK.

They got the EMTs out there to sell the move (Clothesline on London). I don't know if it was scripted but at all, but i'm guessing they told the ref in an ear piece and he told London to stay down and really sell the move, becuause you can see him whispering in his ear.

It was clean as. The landing was spot on and Snitsky just clipped him. London's timing is superb so the flip was fantastic.

Definately, If london hadn't done what he did it wouldn't have looked half as good.

 

[Raider Azz]

London is a champ. That bump was awsome.
