Daniel Bryan def Mark Henry & The Big Show by Escaping the Steel Cage.
6/10 Great match to start the night, a little short, but it had a great finish.
The Bella's, Beth Phoenix & Natalia def Kelly Kelly, Alicia Fox, Eve & Tamina vis Pin
2.5/10 One of the things that really sucks about doing this blog is that (on PPV's at least) I has to watch the Diva's match. This was another example of the Diva's running around not making any sense out of the match, and executing sloppy moves. And what took Kelly Kelly so long to jump off the top rope, that was one of the worst telegraphed moves I've ever seen because all the girls are just standing there, waiting for her to jump for like 30 seconds, it was ludicrous.
John Cena & Kane Fight to a Double Count Out
6.5/10 This match was a little more to my liking then the average John Cena fair. It was bare bones and hard hitting. I should have gone with my gut when I was predicting matches, oh well.
Brodus Clay def Drew McIntyre via Pin
3/10 One of the things I hate most is when the entrances take longer then the match itself, this is especially true with this match for two reasons: 1. The Brodus Clay entrance it the most embarrassing thing the WWE has put on television since Snooki pinning Michelle McCool at last years Wrestlemania. and 2. Drew McIntyre is supposed to be The Chosen One, and he's getting squashed by someone called The Funkasaurus. That's just sad.
CM Punk def Dolph Ziggler via Pin
7/10 As you may recall, this was the singles match I was most looking forward to as the two have very similar styles and are in such great condition that it could go on for hours, and they're so skilled at what they do, it would be compelling to watch them for hours. What we got instead was still a good match, but not as good as it could have been. The story line involving John Laurinaitis as guest referee overshadowed the story of the two men in the ring. Ziggler's quick comeback countering Punk's GTS with a rocker dropper had me thinking he might pull out a win, But Punk prevailed after a second GTS.
Sheamus wins the 2012 Royal Rumble match
Final Four: Sheamus, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton & The Big Show.
8.5/10 I am disappointed that Jericho didn't win, I'm sure he will at some point, maybe next year, that's really the only thing he has left to do in the WWE. I am overall pleased with how everything went down. The Miz did a great job lasting over 45 minutes being eliminated #23. Cody Rhodes also shinned, coming in at #4 and getting eliminated at #24. I'm not a particularly big fan of The Big Show, so to see him come in and knock out three of my favorite guys back to back to back was a little hard to watch, especially after they'd lasted as long as they had. As for the surprise entrants, it was kind of a mixed bag. actually, no it wasn't. I like seeing Road Dogg again, and Kharma coming back as only the third women to ever compete in the Rumble was cool. I didn't care to see Khali back, hopefully he won't be back full time. Nor did I like seeing Jim Duggan back, his return in 07-08 was the saddest thing I'd seen in a long time. I kinda liked seeing all three of the announcers getting in on the match, but all those slots could have gone to more deserving guys in the back, like Mason Ryan, Johnny Curtis or Michael McGillicutty. Another ting I really enjoyed was Mr. Socko vs The Cobra, that was hilarious. Also I liked Kofi's Riddler themed outfit and his unique way of staying in the match, since Morrison started that last year I think we'll be seeing something along those lines at each Rumble.
All in all it was decent show, but it still only gets a score of :
5.75/10 Not the best way to start the year in wrestling, but not the worst.
