WWE 2007 Royal Rumble Results

WWE Title - Last Man Standing
Cena v. Umaga
Probably the best Cena I have seen in a long time if not ever. It turns out that there didn't have to be a pin or submission before the 10 count started. They just couldn't be of off their feet for an entire 10 count. Umaga laid Cena out on top of one of the announcers' tables and then proceded to run across the other two announce tables and try to splash Cena. Cena moved and Umaga laid there but was able to answer the 10 count. As Cena was in the ring waiting for Umaga to get up Estrada unscrewed the turnbuckle and detached it from the corner post forcing the top-rope on two sides of the ring to fall. Umaga then got the exposed turnbuckle hardware and tried to give Cena the Samoan Spike with it. Cena ducked and turned it into a FU. Cena then used the rope to choke Umaga in the STFU. Umaga then passed out and Cena released the hold to allow the 10 count to start. Umaga then completely no-sold the move and got up almost immediately after the ref started counting. Cena then reapplied the hold until Umaga passed out again. This time he didn't answer the 10 count. Cena wins and retains.
Me: 1/1
Dave: 1/1

World Title
Batista v. Kennedy
Basic Batista match with the basic Batista finish; Powerbomb & pin.
Me: 2/2
Dave: 2/2

ECW Title
Lashley v. Test
Test seemed to get frustrated and then went to the back and got counted-out intentionally.
Me: 3/3
Dave: 3/3

MNM v. Hardys
Not as good as I expected with these two teams. Still a solid match. Hardys win again.
Me: 3/4
Dave: 4/4 (Note: When I posted the predictions I noted that I didn't remember who Dave picked for this match so I made his pick the Hardys. Whether or not that is what he actually picked them isn't known to me. He gets credit anyways)

Royal Rumble
When the PPV started and I was reminded that the PPV was in San Antonio, Shawn Michael's hometown, I had the feeling that he would win. When it came time for #30 to come out Undertaker's music played and some old woman came out from the back. It took me a few seconds to realize it, but the person that I thought was an old woman turned out to be the Undertaker. I always seem to make that mistake. The last 4 men were 'Taker, HBK, Edge, & Orton. An RKO to HBK caused him to roll out of the ring and stay out there for a few minutes. 'Taker, Edge, & Orton then went at it for a while until Shawn re-entered the ring and quickly eliminated Edge and Orton ( There goes my picks ). 'Taker and HBK battled it out for a little bit and had a few near-eliminations. 'Taker then eliminated HBK to win the match and presumably go to WM23 to face Batista and capture the title for the final time, continue his undefeated streak, and likely retire sometime not so soon after. It looks like I should have gone with my original pick before I changed it to Edge & Orton as co-winners.
Me: 3/5
Dave: 4/5

Summary: I got 3/5 right and Dave managed to better me by 1 pick with a total of 4/5.
