Summary: Pretty good,but could have been better
Review: The card for this ppv looked great. The match I was most looking forward to was Eddie vs. Chavo. It only recieved 8 minutes and was just average. Same story for the rest of the undercard too. HHH-Micheals in a last man standing match was really good, but it could've had a better ending. The real standout on this ppv was the Royal Rumble. Benoit finally won a big match and he gets his shot at the title at Wrestlemania 20. The rumble match was also the best rumble match ever, just surpassing 1992.

Summary: WWE Royal Rumble
Review: The first 4 matches were rushed, I think to be safe for enough time but it was a bad move to rush the matches. Heres the cardWorld Tag Team Title Table Match
Ric Flair and Batista (c) vs. The Dudleyz - 7/10 about 6 minutes long. Not a bad opening match but could of been longer. Cruiserweight Title Match
Rey Mysterio Jr. (c) vs. Jamie Noble - 4/10 For the great job these two have done hyping up and competing, this match laste 3 damn minutes! This could of been a great match and the opening moves werent too shaby, but this match wasn't even close to good...Bad judging by WWE, NOT Rey or Noble Eddie Guerrero vs. Chavo Guerrero - 8/10 If I remember correctly this match lasted 9 minutes...The match overall was pretty decent, Eddie did good but Im never too happy with Chavo. Not a bad match... WWE Championship
Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Hardcore Holly - 5/10 Hardcore Holly breaks DDP's neck, then gets his broken and wines about it for weeks. The fued was horrible as well was the match! 6 minutes, I think the shortest World Title Match since December of 99. Brock beats the crap out of Holly, puts him in submissions and wins. OVER like that...Holly do us all a favor and just take the mid card area. WWE World Heavyweight Championship Last Man Standing
Triple H (c) vs. 'HBK' Shawn Michaels - 9/10 25 minutes of pure action! I gotta say Triple H and HBK work awesome together. 2 weeks prior to the event they put on an awesome 25 minute match, and this one didn't disapoint many either! This match had blood, sweat, and just about everything, I few new things were brought to this match. The ending should have been better but the match was just outstanding. I don't think theres nobody better than Triple H or Shawn Michaels. And to all of you who think Triple H is garbarge, and you hate him...Well then he's doing his job right. And do NOT say he's a bad wrestler, because he's one of the best out there, and this isn't coming from a HHH fan, but I gotta be honnest. Great match over all. Royal Rumble Match - 10/10 One of the best Royal Rumbles I have seen in a while. You get some great talent in the ring at the same time which is fun to watch. You dont get any of the bull crap where 10 really crapy guys come in after another, you get Benoit and Orton, Jericho and Angle, and different things that you havent before. This match ends with a great moment, I wont spoil it but it really is something special which continues at WrestleMania XX. RAW: Orton, Hennery, Hardy, Steiner, Hurricane, Booker T, Spike, Kane, Dupree, Rico, Foley, Christian, Jericho, Rob Van Dam, and Goldberg.
SmackDown!: Benoit, Tajiri, Rhyno, Bradshaw, Matt Morgan, Rikishi, A-Train, Benjiman, Miller, Angle, Nunzio, Big Show, Haas, Gunn, and Cena. If you're gonna buy this DVD, which you should I guess, don't pay more than 17 bucks for it. Get a cheap new one or good used one since the first hour isn't really the best... Thanks for reading,

Summary: Ok but not spectacular.
Review: The first pay per view usually signals the direction the company maybe heading, that and it's a just a giant stepping stone towards Wrestlemania. Royal Rumble 2004 really shows a more slowed down and back to basics style of wrestling which can be quite enjoyable if done right. The event featured: 1)World Tag Team Championship: Table's Match:
Batista & Ric Flair(c) vs. The Dudley Boyz. This match never truly reaches a climax as it ends quite abruptly. The action was quite sloppy and I'm getting alittle tired of the Dudley Boyz. 3/10 2) WWE Cruserweight Title:
Rey Mysterio Jr.(c) vs. Jamie Knoble. A match that could have a been a classic if not for it only being 3 minutes long! 5/10 3) Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Eddie Guerrero. A really decent match unfortunatly Chavo isnt quite as gifted as his uncle in the ring. 7/10 4) WWE Championship:
Brock Lesnar(c) vs. Hardcore Holly. Holly should had never have been given the oppurtunity to take on Brock. The match is tremendously slow paced and right when think things are going to get exciting the match is over. 4/10 5) World Heavyweight Championship: Last Man Standing Match
Triple H(c) vs. Shawn Micheals
Not quite as good as their match on raw the previous year but quite entertaining none the less. 9/10 6) 30 Man Battle Royal: Literally the show saver, the match featured many memorable moments like Mick Foley jumping Test to get entered in the match, Undertaker's gong and Chris Benoit finally getting the spotlight put on him. Big Show also puts on quite the performance. 10/10 Overall 3/6 matches were great and they took up the majority of the show, so this is definity worth a look.

Summary: Royal Rumble 2004
Review: There isn't too much to the DVD extras (which others have listed already) so if you're not interested in the PPV itself, don't bother picking it up. Batista/Ric Flair vs. Dudleys (Raw Tag Title Table Match): The table stipulation wass enough to get the crowd going, but there wasn't really much to this match. It only went a little over 4:00 Cena is giving his usual rap backstage, but is interrupted by RVD in a pretty funny bit. Rey Mysterio vs. Jamie Noble (Cruiserweight Title): Please. This match went 3:06. 3:06!!! The match they would have a few days later on Smackdown was worlds better than this. It was hot for the very small amount of time it was given. Eddie Guerrero vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr: To say I was disappointed by this match gives the wrong impression. It was a good match, and a lot of its problems have to do with the fact that the Guerreros were only given 8 minutes. After weeks and weeks of build on Smackdown, 8 minutes was criminal. They started out with a slower pace which would have fit nicely in a longer match but which fell flat here. It was finally starting to pick up steam near the end until it abruptly finished with a frog splash for Eddie. Find a copy of their Smackdown match a few days after No Way Out. It's better than this was. Brock Lesnar vs. Hardcore Holly (WWE Title): I would complain about the length of this one too, but I'm not a big fan of Hardcore, so it was a treat to see Brock put him away as quickly as he did. Didn't live up to the hype it was given at all. Then again, I'm not sure how many people expected it to. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels (World Heavyweight Title): What these two had going for them was that they were the first match on the card to actually be given time. The World Title match went over 20 minutes. For the most part, it was a good match. The ending, however, falls flat not only for the viewer but for the live crowd in attendance that night. It's an anticlimactic finish and leaves a sour taste about the match. Heyman, Bischoff, and Austin are out to...talk and...beat up people in the case of Austin. Backstage, Brock confronts Goldberg, mocking him for no longer being world champion. And here's your reason to buy Royal Rumble 2004: The Royal Rumble Match. This is one of the best rumbles ever. It was run in the same format as last year with 15 Raw superstars competing against 15 Smackdown superstars. However, unlike last year they did a pretty good job of creating a number of options for possible rumble winners. Would it be Kurt Angle who dedicated the win to the men and women of the US armed forces? Would it be Big Show, who came off as unstoppable during this match? Would it be John Cena, a babyface with one of the fastest growing fanbases in the WWE and a rivalry with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman? Would it be Chris Benoit who was told by Paul Heyman that he would never get another shot at the WWE Title as long as Heyman was in the GM position? This was a perfect mix of entertainment and hard fought struggle from the moment Chris Benoit and Randy Orton entered at #1 and #2 respectively. The rest of the card may not be the best, but this DVD is owed a look just because of the main event. It's that good.

Summary: AWSOME
Review: This is the first and best PPV of the year obviously it wont be as good as Wrestlemania XX but the Royal Rumble 2004 PPV was a great set up for Wrestlemania XX. I was there live and it was awsome also I have it on DVD and it is even cooler. There are soooooo many great parts like the Lastman Standing match, the Undertaker's gong, and Brock Lesnar F-5ing Goldberg! This is a major part or WWF-WWE history get it as fast as you can belive me!

Summary: Benoit Earns A Hard Victory
Review: This Royal Rumble was one of the finer Rumble matches seen in a long time, and for once, was'nt as predicatable as the ones viewed in 2001-2003, intense techincal action, with several Rumble particpants having DIFFICULTY eliminating The Big Show as opposed to easily eliminating him, Benoit's win told a convincing story that had been building up in the events leading towards the Rumble
1. World Tag Team Championships: Batista and Ric Flair vs The Dudley Boyz, quick, shirt tables match that hid everyones' limitations, some typical interference from Johnathan Coachman enables Batista to throw D-Von through a table to win and keep the belts for himself and Flair **1/2
2. Cruserweight Championship: Rey Mysterio vs Jamie Noble: An original way to end a match, as the blinded Nidia costs Noble the win in an exciting, if slightly rushed, encounter *
3. Eddie Guerrero vs Chavo Guerrero: ANOTHER short match, but this time was slightly more brutal than the last two, with Chavo getting pretty busted up after Eddie pins him, some good wrestling, but a complete squash in the long run **
5. Last Man Standing Match For The World Heavyweight Championship: Triple H vs Shawn Michaels: This was the real reason all the matches previously had been cut short, so Michaels and Hunter could have yet another lengthy match between themselves, unfortunatly, it stretches far too long and does'nt come close to drawing the audience in ***1/3
6. The Royal Rumble Match: As I said above, great storyterlling here gives Benoit a credible victory, not to mention the signs of the Undertakers' return (which would culminate at Wrestlemania 20) and Mick Foley's return and elimination of Randy Orton makes it an exciting, amazing Rumble match with suprises, WRESTLING, and a well earned victory for someone who has worked 18 years to reach the level he has, if you think like that spammer Kids' Review that Benoit did'nt deserve this, you are not a fan of wrestling. Period. *****

Summary: Undercard was bad, but thr Rumble ruled!!
Review: This was a very entertaining Rumble. The highlight to any Royal Rumble card is the Rumble itself. And this one delivers. And thank god it it, because the rest of the card was HORRID!! It all seemed rushed. The HHH/Shawn Michaels match was very dissapointing, the Eddie/Chavo match VERY dissapointing, and BOB HOLLY in a world title match? WWE must have been desparate. But the Rumble was great, 5 stars, and in my opinion one of the best (1992 with Flair will always be the best). Pleny of highlights, and some mid-carders got to shine somewhat...Nunzio was hillarious, The Cat segmant was great, Test being laid out in the back and Stone Cold demanding the attaker take his place was a huge surprise, Goldberg and Brock was great, and the ending with all the guys using their finishing moves on Big Show was really good. I look forward every year to this event, and this year didnr dissapoint, even though I was bored out of my mind with the underrcard.
