8 Days away from the royal rumble

well over the next 8 days i plan to go back in time and look at some of the previous royal rumble matches to get myself hyped for the upcoming ppv next sunday. right now, i can't tell how anything is gonna go right now. i don't have a clue who could possibly win the royal rumble, i dunno if i should expect JBL to beat cena for the belt and face michaels at 'mania, and i don't know whats to come from hardy and edges match this week. with all the suspense i should be in for a suprise if they deliver properly but....knowing WWE..i won't hold my breath

with that being said, im going back to the 2007 royal rumble, which had a solid card filled with action and great wrestling, the last before the WWE's product started to get watered down by the pg ratings and the Flashy HD gimmicks.

you saw the hardys in an awesome tag match with MNM(if you don't know kids, thats john morrison, melina and joey mercury) filled with only the excitement the hardy boyz can give you. And MNM did a great job too mind you.

next was the ECW title match between test(for what reasons, only god knows why) and bobby lashely. pretty solid match. nothing to special. everytime i watch this ppv i always seem to fast foward it. Glad to see they were treating the ECW title like a real title at that point...though it would all dissapere soon

then was the World Heavyweight Title match between batista and mr.kenndy. I would love to say this was a great match..but to be honest, i see the both of these men do better, much better at diffrent points in there career. it was kinda sloppy due to kennedys sparadic movements and batista limited in ring coordination. who knows why this wasn't good thing. im sure if they were to do this program again in the future, we can expect much better from the two.

Then, which i believe could have just ended the whold damn PPV was the amazing Last man Standing match between John Cena Vs Umaga. This was also the start of the amazing year cena would later have. the match had it all, weapons being thrown everywhere, cena bleeding like a mad man and somehow finding a way to beat the "undefeated" umaga. pretend like there match at new years revolution never happened, this coulda headlined Mania. armondo estrada also was good in his role as manager. that FU and the STFU with the ring rope was also a good touch. truly perfect.

then, was the actuall rumble match which had i believe the most former world champions and promising stars the WWE had to offer. all were good in there roles, and set up future rivaleries and the awesome finish with HBK and Undertaker remaining the final two and duking it out, made the crowd go nuts. considering there both from texas, the hometown heros gave everything they had, and to think the last time both men wrestled was back in 97 i believe, or 98..in the hell in a cell match. i was hoping it would wind up these two at that years mania, but alas, you can't always get what you want

anyways, enjoy the video, it's always good to me lol
