Here's my opinions on the WHOLE Royal Rumble 2013 PPV.
Segment at the beginning with Bret Hart, ADR and Ricardo Rodriguez was a filler. Bret Hart saying that Del Rio remind him of a "Mexican Bret Hart" was probably the most dumbest statement that ever came out of Bret Hart's mouth. Ricardo Rodriguez marking out to Bret Hart was also kind of 'meh' for me...
ADR vs Big Show (World Heavyweight Championship):
The table spot was "Holly Shit moment" for me. Damn, I mean ADR could easily had his neck broken, landing almost head first to the table and the ground. Luckily, he wasn't. Alberto Del Rio winning the match was alright, despite the duct tape stuff, which brought me back to the match Cena had with Batista. I gotta say I start to dig this 'face' Del Rio. Rodriguez getting involved in the match, just to get thrown to the barricade was also a bit pointless.
Team Hell No vs Rhodes Scholars (WWE Tag Team Championships):
An alright match, although I still don't get why Cody and Sandow doesn't get to win the tag titles. I think WWE gave up on their tag team, and we are soon to see this two getting split up to a single careers. I do like Team Hell No, don't get me wrong, but they have held the belts for a little bit to long.
Too much commercials and filler stuff between that match and the Royal Rumble. Makes me wonder if I am watching a PPV, or a regular WWE Raw.
Royal Rumble Match:
Chris Jericho being revealed so early was a bit of a surprise for me (would rather have him between the final ten entrants), but it was an alright way to show that there are 'surprises' ahead of us.
Goldust appearing might be a way to set a match between the two at WrestleMania. WWE needs to make this happen. I mean, everyone on here and in the IWC want to see this match happen. I am 200% positive that this match is gold, if the WWE let it happen. Cody Rhodes eliminating him was good as well. WWE Goldust vs Cody Rhodes - MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Rey Mysterio looked horrible in the match. Slow, in a very bad shape. His knee injuries taking a toll on his abilities. I don't think that he can pull of a high flying move, without breaking a bone in his body. I really think, that he should consider retiring and moving on with life, before he ends up crippled.
The Godfather's appearance annoyed the hell out of me. I mean, you brought him back for what exactly? To get him eliminated a second later? That what I call a waste of time and an entrant.
Kofi Kingston's spot was altered. He was supposed to jump from the announcing table to the ring, but he saw how far he was and he had to alter his way back. The chair was his way to get back to the ring, but it looked a bit childish. Nonetheless, the spot was altered and changed by Kofi.
Bo Dallas lasting this long was a surprise. Going to see what the future brings to this young wrestler. They seem to built a feud between him and Wade Barrett.

John Cena winning the Rumble is disappointing to me. I honestly beleive that he doesn't need this win to get a rematch with The Rock. Ryback needed the Rumble win, so he can go on and challenge the World Heavyweight champion for a title match. Cena could've got the title match at Mania by The Rock challenging him to another match. That would've made more sense. But, I can go on and complain about this all night long, to be honest, if Ryback didn't win, it better to have Cena. Because his win makes a little sense.
CM Punk vs The Rock (WWE Championship):
A long match. To be honest at some points I was rooting for CM Punk to win, since it seemed that way. The table breaking beneath them was 'HOLLY SHIT', and I was wondering about The Rock getting injured, but luckily they both made it back to the action. The match was overshadowed by Vince McMahon's restarting the match. It's funny that Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler complained about The Shield, as if it is the first time they did it. They didn't react the same way prior to this. It looked idiotic for them going ape shit over The Shield smashing The Rock through a table. The match seriously got hurt by Vince McMahon's restarting the match. The moment that happened, I already knew what is set to happen.
Basically, in my opinion the Rumble was 'meh'. Too much filler segments and commercial, too much terrible moments that over shadowed both main matches of the PPV. To me, the PPV wasn't any different than any WWE Raw on TV. All in all the worst Rumble PPV in history, in terms of entertainment.
