Royal Rumble 2011

The Road to WrestleMania began at this years WWE Royal Rumble 2011. Much to the interest of no one, but this was actually the first Pay Per View i’ve actually ordered since TNA’s LockDown 2007, Where Samoa Joe took the TNA World Heavyweight Championship away from Kurt Angle in a Steel Cage Match. Much to the surprise of no one, everyone knew Samoa Joe was going to win the title… Well besides idiots of course.

Anyway! This blog is about the WWE‘s Royal Rumble. So let’s get right into it.WWE’s Royal Rumble for 2011 was held live on January the 30th (31st in Australia) from the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.

The first match was a Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Putting Edge versing the #1 contender Dolph Ziggler. The stupid stipulation they had (And Vickie Guerrero didn’t let us forget that at the start of the show) Was if Edge used the spear on Dolph Ziggler, he would’ve lost the title… I saw the first five minutes of the match until i was actually on the phone at the same time as the rest of the match but from what i could see it looked like one great match. Dolph ziggler pulled off some awesome moves, but what really shocked me was that awesome looking sit out powerbomb Edge done to Dolph.

To cut the story short, Edge ends up winning by using Christians (Fake Brother) own finisher. Which i and i don’t think anyone expected at all. But when they ban you from using your most favourite movie it’s kind of difficult to come up with something original.But hey, anyone that didn’t expect Edge to win is crazy, no one in the world was Dolph going to win the world title. I mean sure, i’d love to see it, but i highly doubt it’s going to happen anytime soon. Maybe after WrestleMania. Well anyway, onto the next much i think.

If it wasn’t an actualy shock to anyone that the first match of the night was going to be aWorld Heavyweight Championship match then i guess the WWE championship being defended doesn’t bother anyone either. Well it totally does me. Sure i mean it’s the Royal Rumble, so of course that was going to be the main event. But sure the WWE title could of been the semi-Mainevent… Right?

As i finish joking about the relevance of having world title match at the start of a pay per view, let’s get on to the match. So of course the next match was for the WWE championship. Purtting the currently WWE Champion, The Miz going up against the #1 Contender, (The Viper) Randy Orton, or to other people out there. Mini Austin, Bob Orton Junior Junior, The Viper, Not Stone Cold… And so on.

to be far, i’m not going to get into a whole lot of detail because well… I really can’t stand Randy Orton (Truth). I know it’s not nice to say but i just don’t like him and don’t find him to be an enjoyable wrestler… And as my mother put it “He looks like a fag with his shit tattoo’s” (Well said Mother!)

So to really shorten this awesome review, CM Punk comes in and gives Randy the GTS while the ref is distracted. The End. The Miz retains the title. (See photo Above)

The third match of the night and unfortuanetly it actually happened, i mean sure, i enjoy looking at the Divas but nothing of them can actually wrestle which is the sad part. Out of the whole Divas (Womens) roster, only 30% of them can actually put on an actually wrestling match. It’s the truth and i think if you sat down and actually watched any wrestling show currently going on in the WWE you would see this to be the truth.For some stupid reason the WWE thought it would actually be good to give Eve the Divas title for a second time, no i don’t know why this is and frankly i want them to give it to someone proper, maybe someone that can actually wrestle (Beth, Kong, Natalya, Michelle, Melina, Gail Kim…)

But anyway, enough about how stupid that idea was for give the title to Eve it’s actually time to get on with the actual match… Sadly

First of all it was meant to be a 2 on 1 Handi-cap match putting the current Divas Champion, Natalya (Nattie Neidhart) going up against the team of Michelle McCool and Layla.

But for some stupid reason the Anon RAW GM changed it to a fatal four way and added the horrible Eve to the match and better yet they gave ger the fucken title (#1 F-Bomb)

It honestly annoys me, sure she’s probably a really nice person BUT! she sucks as a wrestler and doesn’t deserve a title and if i recall, the last thing she was doing was dancing with JTG backstage being lame.

Anyway i believe that’s enough about that horrible thing called the Divas division. Now onto the actualy Royal Rumble Match! I’m not going to talk about everything but i will give a quick walk through

The only real stand-outs of the night were the return of Booker T and Diesel (Kevin Nash) which fuck! (#2 F-Bomb) were a total surprise to everyone. These two guys were way more over than anyone else who was in that ring at the same time as them and boy it was really awesome to see them. I’m glad that they didn’t currently sign with TNA and the came and did this. It was great and i really hope they stick around to do some thing up until and hopefully after WrestleMania!
