WWE's 2008 Royal Rumble will never be forgotten, by me at least.
I did not order it live, but I purchased it on DVD. Let me tell you, It was an amazing event! By far one of my favorite Royal Rumble event's of all time; and also one of my favorite WWE events of all time period. All of the matches and the Rumble match itself was great and very entertaining.
Ric Flair vs. MVP: This was a bit disappointing because when I first heard about the match I thought "a great new Yound wrestler (MVP) and a veteran wrestler who is one of the best ever (Ric Flair)". It did not turn out GREAT but it was certainly good. Ric Flair proved that he can still wrestle extremely well even for a man of his age.
Rey Mysterio vs. Edge: By far my least favorite match of the night but ultimately entertaining. Nothing spectacular.
Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy: Hands down the best match of the night. This is one of my all time favorite matches in WWE history. Yeah that's right, one of my favorite matches ever! Jeff and Orton have so much chemistry together in the ring (atleast in my opinion). Man I could watch these two wrestle each other on every WWE show and event. It was just a breath taking match.
2008 Royal Rumble: One of my favorite Rumbles in WWE History. John Cena wins his first Royal Rumble, and not only that, but he returns after a serious injury and surprises everyone. Everybody in this match got a little bit of action in (except Finlay and SAntino Marella) and lasted a good amount of time. It was nice to see Tommy Dreamer and Hardcore Holly actually beating up people. haha! John Morrison and The Miz hung on for so long and proved their worth. There was heat between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker which is always cool. There was everything I wanted in this match.
Overall a great ppv event final rating 8/10
