alright, so i just watched the '02 royal rumble over again.. and honestly, i had forgotten all about wwe/f from 2001 to probably around 2004 so re-watching this match was kinda 'fresh' i suppose.
i have a feeling i may be one of few, but i think this was one of the best royal rumbles overall. with the hardys and lita jumping taker/taker MAULING the 3 mentioned. maven capitalizing on takers abuse on the hardys and getting what, if i recall, was his biggest PPV moment with the company. kane LEGIT lifting the big show and throwing him over the top. stone cold and angles nice showing, hell even a pre-tna famed christian had a nice run. up to, and this is the point i was getting to, curt henning lasting until the final 3.
now im sure im NOT alone on this one, but i would have LOVED to see henning win that rumble rather then triple h. not only because we all know henning had always deserved to be wold champion, but because i think henning vs jericho would have been amazing... even with curt being 43 at the time. those two would have put on a clinic at wrestlemania for the biggest prize in the business.
so my question is, who agrees? im not saying triple h winning was bad so im not expecting a short history lesson as to why it was done right, i just want to know who else watched that match and had there fingers crossed for henning/jericho for the undisputed title?
