Summary: WWE in ECW land
Review: Let me begin by saying that this review isn't based on the Pay per View that the WWE showed on TV. This review comes to you from section 7, Row 3, Seat 8. Two seats behind the chair reserved for Mic Foley. Tazz got some serious ECW chants all night. Ratings are out of 5.Dudley Boys vs. Evolution ** The match iself wasn't bad, but how much longer do we need to see Ric Flair in the ring? Batista is just a monster who is waiting to reach his potential. And the Dudley Boys are the Dudley Boys. Coach interfeared and the Dudley wailed on him accordingly. Any time the Coach gets beat up it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing. (it's me, it's me, it's D D P.) Noble vs. Mysterio ** 1/2 These two can do so much better. In fact, they have done so much better. And I'll admit, I'm a little biased because the only cruiserweight worth watching jumped to Raw. That's right, Veeeee ooonnnnnnneeeeeeeaaaaaaah. MF'er number 3 right here. Eddie vs Chavo *** The only thing this match was lacking was that stupid horse that Chavo used to bring to the ring with him. This story line of Chavo against Eddie has been done. Hopefully this will be the end of it. Brock vs Hardcore *** 1/2 Does Brock really work as a chicken? I didn't think so either. The match itself was a little slow, with to much use of the Brock Lock. Really now, half the match consisted of one long body scissors. Holly hit the Alabama slam, but decided not to get the win. Michaels vs HHH ***** Two of the greatest of all time in a match that will easily be considered one of the years best. I'm never a fan of the double countout, but both men put on incredible performances. Lots of blood, and some sweet chin music later, and that's all she wrote. Buy this DVD for this match alone. Heyman and Biscoff get stunned by Stone COld ***** 'Nuff said. Royal Rumble ***** The match itself was good. I'll admit, I was one of the marks that went insane when the lights went out and that music started. I was glad to see Benoit win so that he could get the chance to win the championship. The ending was a little slow. Angle got dragged out by his own Angle Lock, and Benoit was able to pull the Big Show out. Big Show put on a great performance, any anytime that Goldberg doesn't win is good. And the ECW chants for R V D were a nice touch. Those of us who remember life before the WWE was the only show in town know all about "The whole F'n show." On a personnal note, at Denny's afterwards, we ran into some of the wrestlers. I'll say it now, in print, Chavo is a waste of oxygen. But John Cena was the coolest person you could ever want to meet. He signed my chair. Matt Morgan is just plain intimidating. Hardcore Holly was pretty cool, but he is as angry in person as he appears in the ring. Billy Gunn and Kurt Angle were cool as well. Buy the DVD

Summary: A Good Way to kick of 2004
Review: My friend let me borrow this DVD and I saw it and I was really pleased, but a little dissapointed thing to it, a couple of matches was too short but they where still good, 1)Dudleyz vs Ric Flair/Batista Tag Titles
I liked it but a little sloppy, but it turned out pretty good 7.5/10 2) Rey Mysterio vs Jamie Noble Cruiserweight Title
again a awesome match but way to short 8.5/10 3) Eddie vs Chavo
great match up, littl longer than previous match but a gret match 9/10 4) Hardcore Holly vs Brock Lesnar WWE Title
O.K match up, bad ending 7/10 5)HHH vs HBK World Title
finally a long match up and the best match of the night with the rumble, bad ending though 10/10 6) Royal Rumble
this was a great Royal Rumble, longer than I thought it will be, mayb some matches was short because of The Rumble This was a great PPV, worth buying

Summary: Promising card on paper- undercard doesnt deliver
Review: On paper this rumble appears to be 1 of the best ever. However WWE's new slower paced matches and POOR time allocation helped ruin what could have been a 5 star ppv.
The tables match opener was slow paced and nothing happened- the end just was there outta nowhere and it did not deliver. 3/10
The cruiser match could have been awesome. Look at the Smackdown the week after this. It was a rematch and was incredible. Instead they get a really cheap 3 min match with only 1 or 2 good moves. What a waste of great fast talent. 4/10
Guerrero/Guerrero could have been another great match but there was NO offense in the whole match. 3 suplexes and a frog splash and thats it? Terribly played out. Should have taken the time for the beatdown after and used it for the match. 5/10
Hardcore Holly is not a good wrestler. But the buildup was good and Brock can usually carry crappy wrestlers. Holly proved to just be too rusty and luckily it wsa kept short. Decent in ring work though. 6/10
HBK and HHH was a letdown. Only 1 high spot and a questionable ending. The match on raw 2 weeks before was far and above this match and it just seemed like they werent sure where to go with this match. It plodded along and it was a poor culmination of their conflict. I guess it served its purpose of setting up Mania. 6/10
The segment with Heyman and Bischoff was TERRIBLE! give teh earlier matches more time. The first 5 matches were through in an hour and they throw in this crap.
The rumble was incredibly entertaing and the finish had the crowd going nuts. SO many high spots and so many buildups made this incredible to watch. Perfectly executed building up Benoit and Orton and this was the best rumble of all time. 10/10
The DVD has decent extras- nothing worth watching more than once. Basically just promos. No extra points for the presentation thats for sure. Overall a decent ppv saved by the rumble.

Summary: The Road To WrestleMania XX Begins Tonight!
Review: one word WOW the royal Rumble 2004 plants the seeds of an awesome wrestlemania! Like Brock vs. Goldberg and the undertaker's return to his dead man persona! Witness as Chris BEnoit do a Shawn Michaels
watch as the two General Managers of RAW and SmackDown! getting on in the ring but the main reason in buying the Royal Rumble is the breathtaking Last man standing match between Triple H and former best buddy shawn michaels. The Rumble match was ok but the superstars were eliminated to quickly. If you were me I'd buy this on DVD but since DVD is not yet out, this video will suffice - BOO YA!

Summary: Too many rushed matches spoiled it somewhat
Review: Royal Rumble 2004 Raw Tag Titles - Table match - Dudleys V Flair & Batista
This match was too short and it ends quite abruptly. Also, only one member of a team has to go through a table, it used to be both. It was entertaining while it lasted though. 7/10 Cruiserweight Title - Jamie Noble V Rey Mysterio
This match could have been great, but it lasted only 3 minutes! It never had time to get really good. 6/10 Eddie Guerrero V Chavo Guerrero
This could have been a great match. How, it was paced a bit slowly, and didn't last long enough. After it ends Eddie beats up Chavo more and also beast up Chavo Sr. 6/10 WWE Title - Brock Lesnar V Hardcore Holly
Hardcore Holly should probably stick to mid-card, maybe trying to get the US title. This was an alright match, but it ends too soon (again!). 7/10 World Heavyweight Title - Last Man Standing Match - Triple H V Shawn Michaels
They don't use weapons much at all in this match. They use a chair a few times but that's about it. Shawn Michaels does go through the announce table though, and it looks cool. Both men bleed quite a lot, and the match had enough time (it was the first match of the night to actually last long enough!). It was a good match, but the ending was disappointing. Neither man answers the 10 count so it's a draw and Triple H keeps the title. The crowd boo quite a lot there because it looks like Shawn should have won. 8/10 Royal Rumble Match
This was a pretty good rumble. Not as good as 2003 or 2001 but better than 2000. Mick Foley enters by attacking Test and then eliminates himself and Orton. Undertaker's gong sounds causing Kane to be distracted. Big Show put on a good show, and Nunzio was just funny. Benoit came in number 1 and it was great to see him win it to go on to WrestleMania XX. 8/10 Overall
The Rumble match was good, and so was HBK/HHH except for it's ending. All the other matches were too rushed, which brought the whole show down a fair bit.

Summary: Bad way to start off 2004
Review: Royal Rumble came to you live from the Wachovia Centre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 1st Match: World Tag Team Championship Tables Match:
This match was the worst of the card. It seemed like they were to puffed to do anything. Then Coach came down unfortunately getting the Dudleys distracted putting D-Von through the table by Batista at around 3 minutes 2nd Match: WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match:
This match was also bad. This is like the worst match of Rey and Noble's career. Like the other one it seemed they were just standing around. Ended when Nidia tripped Noble for Rey to hit the 619 at 6 minutes 3rd Match: Eddie vs. Chavo Guerrero Jnr with Chavo Guerrero Snr
This match was also bad. It was very boring lots of submission holds, which bores you. Ended when Eddie frogsplashed Chavo for the pin at 13 minutes. He then went spastic. 4th Match: WWE Championship Match:
Basically it was just Holly chasing Brock around the ring. When suddenly they decided to get in the ring, right away F-5 1-2-3! at 6 minutes. Very quick and boring match. 5th Match: World Heavyweight Championship Last Man Standing Match:
The only good match on the card. It was awesome. It was phenonemal. It was fantastic. It rocked my world. Though the ending sucked as HBK hit the Sweet Chin Music then fell back down for the double 10 count. Does HBK ever leave an arena without swimming in blood. 6th Match: Royal Rumble Match:
This match wasn't bad. It was better than last year. Ending was quite boring as Big Show and Chris Benoit were just fighting for 5 minutes then Chris Benoit tossed Big Show over for the win. Comment: Sucked I repeat sucked. Do not buy this DVD it sucked. But if you really want to get it get it on video that way it's sort've worth the money.

Summary: GOOD WAY TO START 2004
Review: royal rumble is always a good ppv because of the rumble match. the extras on the dvd were good. the only downside is the 1st 4 matches seemed to be rushed. there are several confrontations between raw & smackdown superstars on this ppv that are a must see. MOLLY HOLLY VS VICTORIA 1/10- this match was on sunday night heat. the crowd was not interested in the match; neither were the announcers. boring is the word for this & why wasn't the title on the line? TABLES MATCH
WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
RIC FLAIR & BATISTA VS BUBBA RAY & D-VON DUDLEY 4/10- this match was way too short. only about 4 min. a tables match needs more time, especially in the old ecw territory. was over before it really got going. disappointing. WWE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
REY MYSTERIO VS JAMIE NOBLE 7/10- a very good match but was too short. this match should have been 15-20 min long. 6 min is too little for the cruiserweights. it was fast paced & action filled with a stupid ending. if not for the ending & short time, could have been a 9. CHAVO GUERRERO JR. VS EDDIE GUERRERO 7/10- great buildup to this match. uncle vs nephew. bringing chavo guerrero sr. out of retirement was an excellent idea. crowd is really getting behind eddie lately. great idea that turned out to be sort of a letdown. was expecting a 10/10, but match was too short. after the match looked too fake & staged. need a rematch. WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
BROCK LESNAR VS HARDCORE HOLLY 4/10- one of the worst wwe championship matches ever. it was only 7 min long. it was over too quickly plus holly is not a main eventer who deserves a title shot. hope this fued ends quick. LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
TRIPLE HHH VS SHAWN MICHAELS 7/10- a good match that could have been better. michaels put on another outstanding performance. triple hhh's slowness & the sorry ending kept this from a higher score. ROYAL RUMBLE 10/10
PARTICIPANTS WERE RANDY ORTON, MARK HENRY, MATT HARDY, SCOTT STEINER, THE HURRICANE, BOOKER T, KANE, SPIKE DUDLEY, RENEE DUPREE, RICO, TEST, CHRISTIAN, CHRIS JERICHO, ROB VAN DAM, GOLDBERG, CHRIS BENOIT, TAJIRI, BRADSHAW, RHYNO, MATT MORGAN, RIKISHI, A-TRAIN, SHELTON BENJAMIN, EARNEST MILLER, KURT ANGLE, NUNZIO, BIG SHOW, CHARLIE HAAS, BILLY GUNN & JOHN CENA.
awesome! one of the best rumbles ever! benoit was predetermined #1 & goldberg #30. very well paced with lots of action. a great suprise in the middle. you got to see it. the return of the cat earnest miller was fabulous. a suprise ending that will bring you to your feet. i don't understand why wwe puts its eggs in one basket? 54 minutes into the ppv & 4 matches were already contested. at least the last man standing match was given plenty of time. a lot of wasted time such as the confrontation between paul heyman & eric bischoff before the rumble. wwe made it look like 2 matches & the rest as time filler.

Summary: 30 men 1 ticket to Mania
Review: Table Match for the Tag Team Championship
Ric Flair & Batista vs. Dudley Boyz
This is just 5 minutes long! It needed more time but was good for what it was. Kind of a surprise too.
Cruiserweight Championship
Rey Mysterio vs. Jamie Noble
Don't blink! Good match but very fast.
Eddie Guerrero vs. Chavo Guerrero
Very intense. Surprisingly slow in the beginning but it picks up and after the match is great too.
WWE Championship
Brock Lesnar vs. Hardcore Holly
I like how Holly was portrayed leading up to this but going with a regular match wasn't the right way to do it. Not bad but mostly rest holds followed by a quick finish.
Last Man Standing for the World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels
Well these two will always put on good matches. This is no exception.
Royal Rumble Match
This was unpredictable. Some memorable moments too.
