Despite how overrated Mysterio has become, I thought it was funny how he used Miz and Morrison as stepping stones to keep from touching the floor. Also, it seemed like his elimination was accidental, like it happened before it was supposed to.

Very good Royal Rumble, though. As soon as it was The Legacy vs. HHH left, and with the backstage segment between RKO and Y2J prior, you pretty much knew who was going to win.

I can't stand Mysterio, but i agree with you, Mark Henry (i think) seemed to roll over Mysterio while he was lying on the outside of the ring and pulled him down accidentally.

Very good Royal Rumble, though. As soon Orton punted Vince in the face, you pretty much knew who was going to win.

The punt actually looked really nasty, I'd be suprised if he was meant to kick him that hard. Shane's attack on him monday night was appauling aswell, the fact Orton was "helped" from the ring... when they were fighting on the stage you could see Shane wasn't even close to connecting.

It was a decent PPV overall though, but I'm getting really bored of the story lines atm, HBK hasn't had a good fued in a year or more (no, that crap with Y2J doesn't count) Jeff Hardy lost the title in his first defense after competing for it for 6 months+ which is bull, Matt Hardy bores the hell out of me so I'm depressed that they're making him even more active on Smackdown, and where the hell is Christian? He's supposed to involved in a Wrestlemania story with Jeff, if they were planning to wait so long to introduce him why start all the "accident" bullshit so early in the year?

HBK/Y2J was pretty much feud of the year <_<

And Matt Hardy was behind all the accidents for Jeff it seems. Everyone thought it would be Christian even though WWE never hinted at that.

Ugh... i hated that feud so much. It was slow, boring and predictable.

I thought it was official Christian was being the attacks, sure i read it somewhere.. will try to find it somewhere. Either way i'm really disappointed that Jeff lost the title so soon.

Nah, WWE hasnt officially said anything about Christian. Its all been speculation. Matt Hardy is most likely the one since he turned on Jeff at Royal Rumble.

I have no idea what they're gonna be doing with Christian now ;|

Maybe since it's Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy now, maybe they'll tease a return of Edge & Christian before putting them in a feud as well?

And then how epic would it be for a WWE title match at WM25 to consist of a Fatal Four-Way between a Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy vs. Edge vs. Christian?

After the amazing tag team feuds and the TLC matches they put on, that match would surely be a gold mine. Opinions?

I'd be interested to see a Edge vs Christian feud leading up to Wrestlemania, if he does return, but for all we know he could end up re-signing with TNA.
Guess we play the waiting game.

Mysterio is still a waste of space that only kisses little boys when he comes to the ring. I absolutely hate this homo. I don't know why they were trying to make him be the longest person in the rumble. They already were playing clips as him being the longest but...I seem to remember a certain wolverine going longer. <_<;

Shane's attack was retarded. If he had a group of people come down and beat up Legacy with him that'd be one thing but...to have all three of them get their asses kicked by a crappy Shane McMahon? C'mon now...

HBK & Y2J went tooooooooo long. It wouldn't have been bad if it was only for a month or two at the most but they dragged that out as long as they could. HBK needs to retire imo.

I like what they did with Matt & Jeff now. Jeff Hardy never should have the title truthfully. He's got two strikes already on him and it would be ashame to have him leave when he's got the title. I think that's the reason for his small streak. Christian was probably going to be the one who was responsible for the attacks on Jeff but...we all know the McMahons like to spice things up. They probably figured too many people assumed it'd be him.

What I see possibly happening is Matt complaining that he's the better wrestler and everyone still loved Jeff and we'll see Edge & Matt going against Jeff & Christian (since Christian could come in and take the same stance). :O

It probably wasn't the smartest idea for World Wrestling Entertainment to explain Randy Orton's recent rash of behavior by saying that he had IED (Intermittent Explosive Disorder). According to a variety of medical web sites, IED is defined as "a behavioral disorder characterized by extreme expressions of anger, often to the point of uncontrollable rage." What was even more interesting is that some medical web sites even link it to steroid use. Reports indicate that IE can be exacerbated by steroid use based on chemical changes in the person's brain. Personally I would of just scripted it that he had Schizophrenia.

This struck me as funny.

There's also an Undertaker Vs Umaga match being advertised for an event in March (is there a march PPV? Wrestlmania is late i think this year so they might slip something in between No Way Out and WM25) The main event of the show is Jeff Hardy Vs Edge Vs Kozlov...

Edit: nvm, it falls on a saturday(3/21) so they're just doing a Saturday's Night Main Event a couple of weeks before WM25.

2nd edit:

From what I can tell from talking to several people today, Christian Cage was not backstage at the Royal Rumble PPV last night. That's interesting because I had heard his start date was at the Royal Rumble PPV. I know that plans also called for him to be a part of the Jeff Hardy angle but those plans were all heavily edited within the past week or so.

On another note, i noticed one of the Refs talking to Orton briefly after the Rumble, and apparently i wasn't the only one:

I noticed that Randy Orton botched the pyro ending of the rumble. He stood by the ropes for a while pointing at the WM25 sign expecting the pyro to go off but nothing happened. He then moved to the middle of the ring and tried pointing again before the ref came up and told him 'up on the ropes'. He then climbed the turnbuckle and did the pose again while the pyro went off to close the show.

lol ecw not going have much to offer when the draft comes around. Down to 11 active stars and I am pushing it when I say chavo is active, 1 injured star and 2 divas and 3 mangers/sidekicks. Hope they have something plan because don't know how many mark henry vs finlay matches one can take.

Give it time. They always seem to find a way!

Welcome back Christian. ;3

 

[Tyrath]

Returned to ECW, wtf <_<

 

[Tyrath]

Great PPV. Still watching the last match but the title changes were nice.

JBL/HBK and the ECW match were bleh, but the 2 Elimination chambers and Orton/Shane were awesome.

We all fell asleep during the JBL/HBK match. HBK has been getting stale and that feud was a horrible one. I'm ready for HBK to retire...very much.

And I absolutely freaking love Edge. lol He owns me so hardcore right now!

Looks like we get another week of it. Whoopie.

Also I find it funny that Stephanie sold the RKO better than Shane sold... well, anything in his match, lol. Also the Triple H angry face was hilarious.

I thought he was trying to take a dump D;

Meh, i'm not sure how to feel about WM25 so far... HHH/Orton, could be good but there last feud ended pretty poorly. Edge/Cena, has potential i guess but I can see it going bady and HBK/JBL/Taker triple threat, anything with JBL in it is going to put me to sleep.

Really seems like they're just rehashing old feuds instead of trying to move forward at the moment, I guess there's no way around it when you have a limited number of stars but it's disapointing that WM25 doesn't have an original main event.
