Rating: Summary: Royal Rumble came to you live from the Wachovia Centre in Ph Review: First of all great opener.Tells the audience great storylines and such. T1st Match: World Tag Team Championship Tables Match *** 2nd Match: WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match ** 3rd Match: Eddie vs. Chavo Guerrero Jnr with Chavo Guerrero Snr*** 4th Match: WWE Championship Match **** pretty good lots of excitment. 5th Match: World Heavyweight Championship Last Man Standing*****Match: The only good match on the card. HHH and HBK put on a great show. 6th Match: Royal Rumble Match ************************* Very good and lots of surprises: undertaker's gong, return of Mick Foley, Billy gunn's return. Must buy DVD. The only flaw about this PPV was that the 30 superstars were announced. It would be better if they left it to be a surprise. I am also judging the arena.The arena for Royal Rumble was not that creative but cool in a way. Overall but this DVD.
Rating: Summary: GOOD PPV GREAT DVD Review: I saw this live on ppv and i got it on dvd(only 2 more dvds and i got my collection build up to W XX Summerslam-W XX) ok review time 1.Dudlys vs. Flair Batista, 7/10 i would have liked it better if coach went through the table. 2. Rey vs. Jamie Noble, 4/10 Not that good of a match but it built up the Nidia/Noble match at least Rey won. 3. Eddie vs. Chavo, 8/10 history making match a good family match 4.Brock vs. Holly, 6/10 decent match But i like Brock 5. Triple H vs. HBk 5/10 what was so good about this? sure HBK was awesome but why barly no weapons 6.

Rating: Summary: Horrible Undercard, Great Rumble though Review: I thought this PPV would overall be great, I was pretty disappointed by a lot of the matches.Whatever here are my opinions. PPV Intro - Wow WWE is always the best in making these kind of videos. Dudley Boyz v. Batista and Flair (World Tag Titles Table Match) : You think this would be a good match considering being in PHilly, ECW land and being a tables match with such awesome talent. But it was really bad. John Cena self-promo ft. RVD - Nice... Rey Mysterio v. Jamie Knoble (WWE Cruiserweight title match) : I was really looking forward to this match but it was a waste of 3 minutes. Plus the storyline with Nidia did not climax, it happened on the next Smackdown! which makes no sense, why didn't they just put it here?Whatever. Eddie Guerrero v. Chavo Guerrero : Another match that I was extremely looking forward to. Slow-paced match not that good actually. Hardcore Holly v. Brock Lesnar (WWE title) ; I still have trouble believing that Sparkplug Bob Holly was maineventing Smackdown! for more than a month. Anyways I thought the storyline itself was pretty good. But the match was another waste. Sudden F-5, over, crowd pretty pleased with that too actually. HBk v. HHH (World Title Last Man Standing Match): Their match on DEcember,30th,2003 in San Antonio was so much better, this was bloody and had its moments but also not that good. People disliked the finish but it made sense for the characters roles. Goldberg meets Lesnar Backstage II Eric Bischoff say hello to Paul Heyman: I loved this segment. the 2004 Royal Rumble: incredibly predictable but I still loved every moment of it. Amazing sixty minutes.
Rating: Summary: Good, but not great Review: Insurrection is one of two PPVs that do not air in the U.S. That said, it shouldn't excuse what can only be described as a poor card. Most matches have been signed for Bad Blood, but they show them again, making Bad Blood seem redundant. That said it still doesn't mean you shouldn't watch it. Matches in order of appearance. First match, Trish Stratus vs. Jazz. Women's title on the line. These two have battled each other many times in the past, and it would have been better if some one else had gotten a title shot. Ivory, Molly Holly etc, would have been better as it would have meant variety, still both did a good job and it was fairly entertaining in parts. IC title match, Christen vs. Booker T. a long and drawn out match, with both guys using just about every move and a better ending than their Bad Blood match. Tag Team Championship match. RVD & Kane vs. La Resistance. This match is good but who ever thought of it should be shot. An undefeated team vs. the Tag Team champs in a PPV that isn't shown in the U.S. It's no surprise who wins. Even that wouldn't be so annoying, if people would stop saying that the losers are undefeated. People who follow wrestling will know what I am talking about. Up next Rico vs. Goldust. I don't know why this match was included. It was too long, boring and uninteresting. Even the announcers were bored, often talking about other things than the match itself. Jericho's Highlight reel was up next, but nothing too good here. Basically introduces his guest, Stone Cold comes out ruins it and changes a few matches. Not funny and a waste of time. 6 man tag, Bubba Ray, D-von and Spike Dudley Vs Christopher Nowinski, Rodney Mack and Theodore R. Long. Okay match with a good ending. Much better than their Bad Blood match. Scott Steiner Vs Test. Another okay match, with an all right ending. Nothing new and nothing different, shorter than Bad Blood. Street Fight for the world heavy weight championship. Triple H vs. Kevin Nash. Honestly when is the WWE going to learn. Having a Championship with the same guy that's going to face the champ at a PPV is a rating Killer. While it was half decent the run ins killed it. Shawn Michaels and Rick Flair should have been banned from Ring side. No joke Rick Flair gets "busted wide open" in the first few minutes. Had Shawn and Rick not been at ring side, the match would have been better. Oh well there is always next year. The extras aren't that good. No bonus matches and 5 bad interviews. The best one is Al interviewing Chris Jericho. United Kingdom recap is a waste of time and sightseeing with Christen and Trish Stratus is entertaining, even funny at some points. Trish is very lively while Christen seems like he is forced into it. Over all this DVD isn't worth while in my books better renting it out than buying. Had they come up with an original match, maybe different contenders for titles this would've been great, not good
Rating: 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
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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!
Rating: Summary: WWE In England Review: this ppv is not as bad as some say it is. not the greatest, but a ggod show for the British fans. Jazz vs Trish Stratus for women's championship 5/10- not a bad match but suprisingly long for a women's match(12 minutes) Christian vs Booker T 5/10- match was ok but way too long. almost 22 minutes. looked like a 1980 intercontinental title match. not impressed with Christian as a singles wrestler great moment in the back with Steve Austin & Theodore Long tense moment between Austin & Kane Rob Van Dam & Kane vs La Resistance for tag titles 7/10- resistance is improving. Rvd & Kane are a great team. Kane was all business for this match. highlight reel with Chris Jericho. had Eric Bischoff as his guest. Austin interrupts them. almost 20 minutes of hilarious laughs. Austin & Jericho are excellent mic guys. Rico vs Goldust 2/10- why were these 2 clowns even on the ppv? rico needs a new gimmick. the goldust gimmick has grown old. Dustin Rhodes needs to go back to being himself. 10 long boring minutes. crowd was dead in this one. Rodney Mack, Christopher Nowinski & Theodore R Long vs Dudley Boyz 5/10- was suppose to be a tag match but austin added Long & Spike to it. ok match. ending was best part of match. Dudleys deserve better. Test vs Scott Steiner w/ Val Venis as referee & Stacy Keibler as ring announcer 6/10- pretty goofd for the entertainment value. keibler & Venis save this one from being bad. great soap opera story Teiple HHH vs Kevin Nash for world title 7.5/10- Austin made this one a street fight at the last minute. thank goodness he did. that is what made this good. had Ric Flair & Shawn Michaels involved. this feud is building up more steam overall, not bad for Raw's 1st PPV
