WWE Royal Rumble 2008 Results

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Edge (c) vs. Rey Mysterio
An okay match. The end came when Rey went for the pin only to have Vicki pull the referee out of the ring. Rey began exchanging words with Vicki until Edge attempted a spear only to have Rey leapfrog it setting Edge up for the 619. Vicki then protected Edge and took the impact of the 619. Rey then went for the West Coast Pop on;y to have Edge spear him in mid-air and get the pin.
1/1

WWE Championship Match
Randy Orton (c) vs. Jeff Hardy
Not alot of dangerous moves on the scale of the past few RAWs. End came with an RKO out of nowhere for the win.
2/2

Career Threatening Match
United States Champion MVP vs. Ric Flair
MVP tapped to the Figure-4.
3/3

Chris Jericho vs. JBL
Just as I expected, Y2J nailed JBL with a chair for the DQ. Jericho then wrapped a cable around JBL's neck and did a hangman over the ropes. This was the bloodiest I have ever seen Jericho.
4/4

30-Man Royal Rumble
Not too many surprise entrants. A ver, very, very old Jimmy Snuka and very, very, very fat and pale Roddy Piper made appearances. The biggest surprise was John Cena at #30. He showed no signs of pain or injury whatsoever. I was a little surprised. As soon as Cena's music hit the camera zoomed in on HHH's face and I knew right then that the WWE's original plan (and my prediction) to have Batista win was out the window and that Cena and HHH would be the last 2 left. I figured that since they zoomed in on HHH's face that Cena had spoiled his party and that Cena would be going home with the win and the title show at WM24. I was right. Cena wins. Besides, having Cena come out and not win wouldn't have made any sense. Then he would have just been anpther one of the 29 guys who didn't win The restaraunt that I was watching the PPV at went crazy when Cena came out and even more crazy when Cena won. The guy at the table next to me was so happy that he offered to buy me a drink. I declined since I was on my way out anyways. I wonder if he would have offered it to me if I had told him how much I dislike Cena. Also, Hornswoggle was never eliminated. When he came out he crawled under the ring ans stayed there for most of the match. When he eventually made it into the ring he was saved by Finlay he (Hornswoggle) jumped out of the ring (not over the top rope though) and went to the back.
4/5 - Cena ruined it.
