Royal Rumble 2009 Live Discussion

[WWEFan2000]

I was kinda hoping Vince or Steph would come out.

 

[Lee]

Orton won't win. 8 is not the number of a winner.

it sure is

 

[Marquis]

Great rumble.

 

[roujinziro]

Except for the RVD appearance, this ppv and especially the RR match was utterly predictable.

 

[Harthan]

Anti-climactic.

No Umaga, no Christian. Kind of suprising.

Matt's heel turn was far better than Christian coming in. And Umaga wouldn't have made that big of a difference anyhow.

 

[Lee]

Last years Rumble> than this years

The title matches were good
Matt heel turn
Santino buried
Legacy run wild

Predict the Hardy heel turn ?

Didnt think so.

 

[Sparky]

RVD RVD RVD!!!!! hell yes. that was awesome.

 

[The Todd]

Great Royal Rumble. Missed ECW and Women's but main title matches were brilliant, and the Rumble? BRILLIANT!! Only downside was MVP not lasting longer. So glad Orton was given it, he is all that's right with WWE at the moment. Hopefully we get a long build up to Cena Orton, with the McMahon twists but i fear NO Way Out having the title chamber may ruin it slightly.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah Umaga and Christian don't mean much.

Easily the worst part to me was Duggan. Santino and Ziggler I can live with, as they're at least current names and Santino could lead to some amusement and Ziggler was just there to fill a spot, but there's no excuse for Hacksaw.

This Rumble was a big fat Meh, didn't come close to living up to the hype, ECW title match was pretty good, Diva match wasn't bad, WHC match was boring as fuck, and WWE title match was good until they went with that shit ending, and the Rumble was overcrowded and predictable, MVP got eliminated waaaay to early, and the lack of Umaga, Kennedy, and Christian was just kinda disappointing, though I mark like a lil' kid when RVD came out, and was glad they allowed him to stay in the match for so long

 

[Tastycles]

it sure is

Thanks for trawling the posts to get that. I was right that HHH would get Kozlov out quickly. I also drew 3-3 with my flatmate in guessing who would come out next, so I'm a winner in my eyes.

He won the first Rumble. Nostalgia.

Probably his last year anyhow.

 

[klunderbunker]

Gentlemen, we're on the Road to Wrestlemania.

 

[Markie C]

I reckon Randy is going to be fired from Raw, go to Smackdown and face Edge. I just don't see Christian being pushed in the title picture, or Triple H V Edge. Could be Triple H V Orton V Edge though.

 

[klunderbunker]

I hope so. Just not a fan of parading guys like that out for no reason other than they're old.

 

[klunderbunker]

So overall, Royal Rumble 2009 meaning the whole show: meet, fail to meet, or excede expectations?

 

[CCS]

I didn't really like the rumble match. But the rest of the ppv was great. I have the feeling that the rumble match itsself could have been a whole lot better.

 

[Marquis]

Meet. It would have exceeded if Orton didn't win.

 

[Tastycles]

Met expectations. I was aiming high, and I felt it was good. The best ppv I've seen for sometime. The Royal Rumble lost momentum between RVD's entry and Big Show's, but it was still good, nonetheless.

 

[Y_2_aJ]

I was happy with that PPV.

Orton is top level right now.

Just hope the McMahon twists and No Way Out Chambers ruin the Road to Wrestlemania

 

[klunderbunker]

It was kind of anticlimactic. No big stunner for the most part. RVD was a great addition though as it was a shock.

 

[klunderbunker]

We have 13 damn weeks until Mania. That's a LONG time.

 

[Tastycles]

We have 13 damn weeks until Mania. That's a LONG time.

It's 10 weeks.

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

My initial reaction is meh...but I need to watch it again.
