    Rolling Through Royal Rumbles

    Sorry for the lay off. Been watching a lot of other wrestling for the Best of Year matches. But I am going to go through all of the Rumbles too. So now we have one of my least favorite Rumbles, the 2009 Royal Rumble. During this time, I really wasn't watching WWE. I was fully into TNA and...

    I will keep this going until I get the whole thing done. I just had to watch a shit ton of matches for the Greatest Match of 1990 (which was fucking awesome)

    I am still working on this. Wrestlemania kind of threw a lot of things on the back burner. Will get a new one up tomorrow. I am definitely going to get every Rumble match ever.. including the TV one and Greatest one

    2008 Royal Rumble Okay they announced Michael Buffer as the greatest announcer of all time. BS. i I watch wrestling, boxing MMA and all that. Howard Finkel deserves his due because he was the best announcer in wrestling history. Michael Buffer was in for it for the money. The Fink was a...

    Rolling Through Royal Rumbles

    2007 I was listening to the commentary and Michael Cole mentioned how Jerry Lawler once lasted 36 minutes in the Rumble. Jerry immediately said that he hid for 30 minutes under the ring. Cole immediately responded "You just stole a joke from JBL." JBL laughed. I think that was not scripted...

    I am about to start 2007. Ric Flair is number one. You know, I am so pissed at Ric. He was my idol, my favorite wrestler of all time. Hell, I would watch Ric wrestle a broom. And then he just had to Me Too himself.. and ruin everything

    At the very least, we should have got to see his war dance. They were building him up like Hogan and Warrior, when he no sells the moves and "Hulks up." But then they just dumped him in the waste bin.

    Rolling Through Royal Rumbles

    Yeah I remember being back now that you mention it. I guess I meant I was hoping he would get like a good push. He was never a favorite of mine, but he worked hard. Plus I have a little loyalty to other American Indians (I'm Shawnee myself). I dunno. An IC title run in his career would...

    Rolling Through Royal Rumbles

    Let me tell you the thing that makes me so happy is that we won't be seeing these McMahon ads from now on. The 2006 Royal Rumble truly had one of the worst DVD covers ever. But the match itself was good. It was, of course, overshadowed by the death of the legendary Eddie Guerrero. This was...

    Rolling Through Royal Rumbles

    The 2005 Royal Rumble was pretty interesting at the time. Most people at the time figured that the winner would either be Batista or John Cena. Batista had some differences with Triple H and Ric Flair at the time and John Cena had been on quite a roll on his own. So, it really was reminiscent...

    Agreed. Over the years, I had forgotten how good it really was. I will probably watch it more often when I am in the mood for a Rumble

    2004 The Forgotten Rumble Here we come across the most controversial Rumble ever. Well, nothing controversial happened during the Rumble itself, but of course the match was won by Chris Benoit. I am going to try to avoid talking about things that people might disagree on regarding Benoit...

    2003 Royal Rumble This is another one that I haven't watched that often. I think the reason why, though, it that I don't like the look of the set. It's way too open and bright... not really sure how else to describe it but the match itself is not bad. I found myself enjoying it, despite a...

    Rolling Through Royal Rumbles

    It really wasn't difficult watching the Rumble (which I will review after I do 2003). I mean, I don't talk about the Benoit issue much because of the upset it causes. But it didn't bother me at all to see him wrestling. Plus, very little of the focus of the match is actually on him. He...

    Rolling Through Royal Rumbles

    I am in a really good mood right now, so I am going to skip 2003 for the moment and jump to 2004. I will review them in order, but I figure I better watch the Benoit match while I am feeling positive

    Rolling Through Royal Rumbles

    I was watching so many Oscar movies this week, it feels good to get back to wrestling. The 2002 Royal Rumble is not really one of my favorites either. I have only watched it a few times and while it had its moments, there were periods of what I thought were slow and also had some really odd...

    Rolling Through Royal Rumbles

    For anyone who has been reading these, I apologize for such a long time between them but I was hit with some illness this week. I've been getting back to myself. The 2001 Rumble isn't really one of my favorites, although it definitely has its high points. I think it was the first one to...

    Rolling Through Royal Rumbles

    When I came back to watching wrestling in 2003, the 2000 Royal Rumble was the first thing that I watched. I was having a hard time psychologically and a friend of mine thought it was a good idea to find something that as a comfort to me in the past and this ended up being his idea. So, being...

    Rolling Through Royal Rumbles

    I probably would have hated it more if I had seen it live. It really contained all of the things about the Attitude Era that made me quit watch wrestling for a while. I was able to go back and appreciate some things, but McMahon winning the Rumble... wow... But yeah, it's kind of in the...
