WWE Royal Rumble 2005
January 30th, 2005
Fresno, California
St. Mark's Center
Soundtrack: Alter Bridge - Find The Real

Edge vs Shawn Michaels
Reefer's Prediction: Edge
Wardy_Mod's prediction:Edge
Result: Edge via pinfall (18:34)
Reefer's Match Rating: 8/10
Wardy_MoD's Match Rating:8/10

I thought this was a good match, i also predicted Edge would win, dont know why really, just had the feeling, I think the WWE are trying to make Edge one of the top players and now he can say he has beaten HBK it adds to his list (even if he did win by cheating)

Casket Match: Heidenreich vs The Undertaker
Reefer's Prediction: Heidenreich
Wardy_MoD's Prediction: Undertaker
Result: The Undertaker (13:21)
Reefer's Match Rating: 7/10
Wardy_MoD's Match Rating:8.5/10

I thought this match was brilliant, I especially liked the "Kane in the casket" section. You knew someone would be in the casket and I assumed it would be Snitsky after the previous section backstage where Snitsky said he had a plan, but what happened was just great, as well as the apron leg drop onto the sandwiched Heidenreich between the lid and the main part of the casket. I love it when the crowd starts chanting "Holy S**t"
This also could be setting up the tag team match for Wrestlemania 21 of Undertaker and Kane Vs Heidenreich and Gene Snitsky


Triple Threat Match for WWE Championship: Kurt Angle vs The Big
Show vs John Bradshaw Layfield (c)

Reefer's Prediction: John Bradshaw Layfield
Wardy_MoD's Prediction:Big Show
Result: John Bradshaw Layfield via pinfall (12:06)
Reefer's Match Rating: 6.5/10
Wardy_MoD's Match Rating: 6/10

It seems that JBL will never lose this WWE Title. He came out into this match looking more confident than he did at the Armageddon Fatal Four Way so there was a hint that he would win, but the Big Show dominated the match and really deserved to win, but we all know that the person who deserves to win never does. We also knew that the cabinet or Team Angle were likely to get involved as there was no-one banned from ringside. JBL will eventually lose the title and I can't wait for that to happen (hopefully at No Way Out in the Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match)

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton vs Triple H(c)
Reefer's Prediction: Triple H
Wardy_MoD's Prediction:Randy Orton
Result: Triple H via pinfall (21:29)
Reefer's Match Rating: 6.5/10
Wardy_MoD's Match Rating:6.5/10

The biggest part of this match that surprised me was that Triple H actually won without cheating and without Evolution at ringside. Granted, the referee got knocked out and he went for the sledgehammer but he didnt get to use it (although he tried), this was a bit disappointing because RAW has been building Randy Orton up since before the Elimination Chamber, ready for the title (by beating every Evolution member in the last month) but unfortunately tonight wasnt his night

I wonder whether or not he did really hit his head hard because he either did really good acting or he was actually concussed. Either way it was a good match and the image of Triple H leaving with the title with no Evolution either side of him raising his hands may be a vision of his future, once Evolutin have left him.

This was a great Royal Rumble, ending in some contraversy, with Vince McMahon running down to the ring to sort it out, trying to be cool and slide in the ring, but instead hitting his shin on the apron and not being able to stand up in the ring, so he had to sit down and sort out the problem!

The contraversy started when Edge was eliminated through a joint effort of Batista and John Cena, leaving these two to battle it out. Cena went for the F.U on three sides of the ring with Batista struggling to get off of Cenas shoulders. Batista finally got down and set Cena up for the Powerbomb, but when cena was on Batistas shoulders they both went over the top rope and hit the floor at the same time. Just like when Randy Orton was General Manager, there was an argument between the referees about whos feet touched the floor first. Cue Vince McMahon! He runs out and says to restart the match with the two remaining superstars. Batista throws out Cena to win the rumble (which is good for me because i bet on him in Figo's Betting League!)

Other good moments include:

Dan Puder being cocky and then getting beat down by Guerrero, Benoit and Hardcore Holly, gow many chops did he take!!!

Ric Flair trying to eliminate Batista

The Coach screaming like a girl

Muhammad Hassan getting beat down by everyone else in the ring!


Overall I think this was a very strong Pay-Per-View and I am glad i stayed up and paid to watch it, i think this is the beginning of the road for Batista to be Champ and also a great announcement by Theodore Long about the Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match at No Way Out
