WWE: Royal Rumble 2011

Three title matches with varying stipulations will test the mettle of the champions and we'll see who can retain and beat the odds. Also the biggest Rumble match in history occurs as 40 men try to win to earn the title shot at Wrestlemania.We have a 3 man announce team, Jerry Lawler, Michael Cole and Matt Striker, which does allow for quite a bit of humor and bantering between the three.-World Heavyweight Championship Match, Edge (Champion) vs. Dolph Ziggler w/Vickie Guerrero: After weeks of feuding it comes to a head here where on a recent Smackdown, GM Vickie said that if Edge used the spear he would lose the world title, so that added some tension to the match. The contest itself is quite good as the momentum shifted constantly, each guy got some good near falls in and Dolph did prove he could hang with a main eventer, kinda reminded me of Edge/Shawn Michaels at Royal Rumble '05 where the veteran Shawn helped establish Edge. The crowd did seem divded as there were some chants for Ziggler, then near the end with Vickie, the ref and Dolph down, Edge hits the spear, plays possum hits the Killswitch and covers Dolph to win. 9/10.-WWE Championship Match, The Miz (Champion) w/Alex Riley vs. Randy Orton: At TLC Miz escaped with the title in a Table's Match, but there would be no running as Orton was looking to take the championship from the Miz in this rematch. Randy worked over Miz for a few then Miz took over, with Riley getting some cheap shots in when the ref wasn't looking, Miz does have a good showing here hanging with the Viper and wearing him down. There's the expected Orton comeback, Randy goes for the RKO but the Nexus comes down to the ring and Orton sends Riley over the top onto them. There's the RKO to Miz, CM Punk sneaks in and hits the GTS and Miz covers to win the match. 6/10, cause of the interference.-Fatal Four Way Match for the Diva's Championship Match, Natalya (Champion) vs. Michelle McCool vs. Layla vs. Eve: This was originally supposed to be a 2 on 1 Handicap Match, but the Anonymous Raw GM chimes in and adds Eve to the mix. Its not a great match as the crowd didn't really seem to care, especially when Eve was announced as the fourth entrant. It is however passable and thankfully short as we see Eve hit the moonsault on Layla and covers her to win the title. 4/10, with the crowd again not really reacting too much, though Eve did seem happy to win, even crying as she walked up the ramp.-The Royal Rumble Match: Not the usual 30 but 40 men in the match this year, there's a brawl that occurs between the new Nexus and the Corre that sets the tone for the night. CM Punk is #1, Daniel Bryan is #2 and this is a ROH fans dream as these two had great matches against each other before coming to WWE. Its a pretty good but drawn out Rumble, Regal gets a nice pop at #5, John Morrison at #7 does a spiderman like move that has to be seen to be believed, once the rest of the new Nexus comes out and dominates for a few minutes it looks like Punk will waltz to Wrestlemania. The return of Booker T gets a massive reaction from the crowd and Striker but he's gone in about a minute, of course John Cena comes out and clears the ring of Nexus and Punk.Sadly Hornswoggle is in this too and this is where the Rumble gets dumb, as he and Cena team up which as much as I don't like Cena this makes him look bad. It picks back up when people like Sheamus and Wade Barrett enter the fray and the surprise return of Diesel at #32 gets easily the biggest reaction of the night from the crowd and again from Striker himself. However Diesel doesn't last too long but has a face off with Big Show and yet another reaction from Striker. Soon after Alex Riley ends up screwing up and getting eliminated too soon so an audible is called with Miz coming in and throwing Cena over the top to the floor.The rest of the Rumble is good with Santino entering and getting knocked out of the ring but not over the top, Alberto Del Rio is #38 and has a decent showing, Kane at #40 shockingly doesn't last too long as he's eliminated. The finish is a bit odd as Del Rio appears to have won but Santino comes back in, hits the Cobra Strike but ends up getting tossed over the top so Del Rio is going to Wrestlemania. 9/10 as it wasn't maybe the greatest Rumble ever but it was a lot of fun with surprise returns and some great moments.Extras-Todd Grisham Interviews Eve after her title win: Standard interview where Eve was very happy to have won the title.-1/31/11, Raw, Alberto Del Rio's Royal Rumble Celebration: Funny stuff with Del Rio saying he told everyone it was his destiny to win and go onto Wrestlemania, good heel promo from Del Rio too.Blu-Ray Exclusive Extra-1/24/11, The Entire Monday Night Raw Before the Royal Rumble: Great extra here as we see the final set up for the PPV with some good matches, well worth watching.

Every once and a while, the WWE puts on a PPV that delivers all the way through. This event is nothing short of spectacular on all levels.World Heavyweight TitleEdge vs. Dolph Ziggler w/ Vickie Guerrero:A very very solid and unique opening contest from the always reliable Edge, and the great up and coming star Ziggler. The angle is a little stupid, namely Edge will lose the title if he uses the spear, but this match features excellent chemistry and technical display. Definitely give this one a look; the best title match of the evening!WWE TitleThe Miz w/ Alex Riley vs. Randy Orton:As much as it pains me to admit, The Miz actually puts on a decent show down here with Orton. There are a few things wrong with this one, however. Way too much outside interference and cheap "storyline pushers" for me. But nonetheless, Orton does a brilliant job of selling his character which really helps push The Miz along. This is the best match these two have together, and easily better than Miz/Cena at Wrestlemania.Diva's TitleNatalya vs. Michelle McCool vs. Layla vs. Eve Torres:Although the weakest on the night, this is a pretty good one. Eve Torres is most definitely the best female worker the WWE has and she wins back the belt in a pretty good ending.First Ever 40-Man Royal Rumble Match:Without writing an entire book about this one, I'll just sum it up and say that there was A LOT going on in this year's rumble. For starters, as expected, the match is reeeaaallllyyyy long. Not sure of exact times, but I would guess easily 70-80 minutes.A couple of noteworthy items in this match included the return of Booker T and Diesel, which were both pretty underwhelming.The rumble also starts and endures a long period where CM Punk's new Nexus dominates, which regretably slows the pace down to a crawl.The ending, while very unpredictable, was very exciting. The last twenty minutes or so were enough to save the humdrum and laggish beginning.All in all, this was one of the better Royal Rumbles I've ever seen. There was a lot of talent and different faces, with plenty of innovation and charisma. It was a great way to end a great show.Pick up a copy of this as soon as you can. Wrestlemania 27 was a huge letdown, so let this serve as a refresher from the poor event that WM was. It has a few extras and is available at a pretty good price. Enjoy !

The two title matches were good, the ladies match... blech. Rumble match itself was good, but could have done without the additions of Nexus and the Corre. Only reason they had 40 guys in it really. Also, I got to see this show live in the TD Garden, and it is an awesome expirence live! if your looking to see a live WWE event do yourselves a favor: go to a ppv or house show. Skip Raw or SmackDown.

Amazon mix up a lot of these reviews for some reason, so to be clear this review is for the 2005 and 2006 Royal Rumble events even though they are separate DVDs:ROYAL RUMBLE 2005This DVD contains the full 2005 Royal Rumble DVD, featuring two world title matches along with the 30-man Royal Rumble match itself, on a single disc. The extras are made up of promos for the main matches on the card, a history of the Royal Rumble and a couple of post-event interviews.Edge vs. Shawn Michaels - This was the opening match of the night. It was a very good start to the show. The action started off strong and kept it up throughout. After a competitive start Edge managed to wear Michaels down and take control of the action, all without negatively affecting the pace. There were some good reversals and some great near-falls as the action built to it's conclusion and the finish was decisive. A great way to kick off the Royal Rumble.The Undertaker vs. Heidenreich - This was a Casket match. It was a decent match for what it was. Heidenreich was a pretty generic monster for Undertaker to fight who was scared of the casket. There was some interference by Gene Snitsky and Kane, which helped cover for Heidenreich's weaknesses, and the action didn't go on too long. It was a perfectly watchable fight but past that it's nothing special.John "Bradshaw" Layfield vs. Kurt Angle vs. Big Show - This Triple Threat match was for the WWE Championship. It was a very entertaining match full of non-stop action. Big Show was dominant to the point his opponents had to team up to try and take him out. Angle worked smart, picking and choosing his moments, along with being a fantastic grappler as always and JBL was good in his role as the desperate champion doing what he could to keep his title. There was a bit of interference which felt unnecessary but didn't hurt things too much. I would have liked to have seen it go for an extra few minutes as I was really enjoying it, but what we did get was all very good.Triple H vs. Randy Orton - This was for the World Heavyweight Championship and Evolution was barred from ringside. It was a very good back and forth match. Orton looked strong early on but Triple H managed to take over and worked over Orton's leg. It also later looked like he hurt Orton's head as Orton was out of it and went on to target that. There were some good reversals and near-falls throughout. The official got knocked down which allowed Triple H to try and introduce his sledgehammer which added some extra excitement too. It built well to a good, decisive finish. A very good fight.30-man Royal Rumble Match - This rumble is most famous for it's ending, which unfortunately involves the final two having to be restarted and Vince McMahon somehow blowing out both his quads when he came down to do so. That's a shame though because like most Rumbles this was a really good, fun match. There were a lot of quality competitors in there that could have believably won the whole thing. It had some memorable moments, interesting alliances and all the action was entertaining. It also had a bit of a RAW vs. Smackdown theme more so than in other years. A really strong rumble and a great way to close out the show.This was a very good Royal Rumble. The Rumble itself delivered a really entertaining hour of unpredictable action. Both world title matches delivered really strong matches and the opener was also very good. The weakest match on the card was also the shortest which was good, and they had enough going on in that match to at least keep it enjoyable, even if the match itself was nothing special. I really enjoyed the entirety of this show so definitely recommend giving it a watch.ROYAL RUMBLE 2006This DVD contains the full 2006 Royal Rumble event, headlined by two world title matches and the Royal Rumble match itself, on a single disc. There's a few short bonus features, the best of which being every rumble winner so far.Kid Kash vs. Gregory Helms vs. Jamie Noble vs. Funaki vs. Nunzio vs. Paul London - The opening match of the night was this Cruiserweight Open for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. It was a fun opening match full of non-stop action. The action was fast paced and all the competitors made it more unpredictable. There was nothing in the action that stood out especially but it was still an enjoyable watch with a strong finish. A fun way to start the show.Mickie James vs. Ashley - Trish Stratus was the special guest referee for this next match. It wasn't a very good match. Mickie was a good wrestler but Ashley was far too green for this to be good. It wasn't very well paced and had some sloppy moments. It did it's job in regards to furthering the Mickie/Trish story-line but the match itself was not good.John 'Bradshaw' Layfield vs. The Boogeyman - This was no good either. JBL could have a good match with the right opponent but couldn't carry someone to a great match and Boogeyman just sucked. Thankfully the match was very short and that stops it from harming the show. Still this was not something that belongs on pay-per-view at all.30-Man Royal Rumble Match - As usual, a Championship match at Wrestlemania was on the line here. The main story-line involved Rey Mysterio's performance as he started the match and tried to go the distance. I didn't like the Eddie Guerrero story-line surrounding that but his performance in the match was very good. As always with Rumble matches there were plenty of other things going on too. It didn't feel like there was all that many potential winners, but there was enough to keep it interesting. As a Rumble it's not one of the better ones but even an average Royal Rumble can be a lot of fun so this is still a good match overall.Edge vs. John Cena - This was for Edge's newly won WWE Championship and it was a very good, back and forth match. It was Edge's first pay-per-view championship main event and he definitely showed that he belonged at that level. These two would go on to have better matches than this one but this was still a very enjoyable bout. Lita got involved at one point but only in a way that added to the match. A couple more near-falls and a few more minutes would have put this over the top as a great match but as it was it was a good, entertaining fight.Kurt Angle vs. Mark Henry - This was the main event of the night and was for Kurt Angle's World Heavyweight Championship. It was a good main event. Henry was dominant with his strength and weight advantage but Angle had the superior speed and wrestling ability which allowed him to keep this competitive. There were some good, convincing near-falls and a decisive finish. It lasted a good amount of time and even though Edge/Cena was better, it did enough to be an enjoyable main event. There was also a memorable aftermath which made it clear why this had to go on last.This was a good event overall. The highlight was obviously the Royal Rumble and that match delivered a fun and entertaining hour of wrestling. The opener was enjoyable and there were two strong world title matches to close out the show and a memorable moment to finish. There were two matches on the show that weren't too good but one of them was very short and the other at least furthered story-lines. You also have many segments of Vince McMahon being incredibly creepy with some female wrestlers backstage for some reason, but overall this was an entertaining show.
