The 2009 WWE Royal Rumble
Sunday, January 25, 2009 22:39As a kid when I was a die hard wrestling fan there were only big events I begged my mom to get & that was the Royal Rumble & Wrestlemania but usually I only got to see one or the other as I have gotten older & strayed away from wrestling I don’t watch it as much as I used to but I do keep up on it. I am still drawn to these 2 events but it has gotten hard with things like the Elimination Chamber & things like that. I like the Royal Rumble mostly for the battle royal I think they need to add more then 30 people make it last a little bit longer. But I figured for people who didn’t have a chance to watch the Rumble I would clue you in on who won what. Of course with my own 2 cents thrown in here & there.
Jack Swagger(c) vs Matt Hardy-Jack Swagger retained the ECW tile he took from Matt Hardy a few weeks ago but I am sure Matt is not going to stop coming after Jack to get his title back.
Beth Phoenix(c) vs Melina-Finally have ended the 5 month title rain of so so called Glamazon. Beth just couldn’t get the job done even with her wimpy partner Santino & her new intern Rosa Mendes. This battle is far from over Beth doesn’t take losing to well Melina better watch her back.
John Cena(c) vs JBL-You may as well said John Cena had 2 opponents in this match JBL on the inside & Shawn Michael’s on the outside. Michael’s sold his soul to the so called wrestling god to make money to take care of his family in the wake of the stock market loss. Even with the cards stacked against him & a does of Sweet Chin Music John Cena kept his title.
Jeff Hardy(c) vs Edge-Hardy has had a bit of bad luck the last 2 weeks first he was in a hit & run accident & then during a live event he was in the middle of a pyrotechnics accident but Hardy didn’t think they were accidents he thought they were the work of his opponent Edge. But the shock of the night wasn’t the fact that Edge defeated Jeff it was how Edge won. Jeff’s own brother Matt turned on him & hit Jeff in the head with a chair. So this has me wondering was Matt behind all the so called accidents Jeff has endured recently ? Was Matt mad that Jeff still had his title ? Since the beginning of their tag team career as the Hardy Boys Jeff has always been the more popular of the 2. Even as they began singles careers Jeff was more popular. I think even though Matt is older he got tired of being second fiddle to Jeff. I am sure the Hardy’s relationship will never be the same after this.
Winner of the 30 man Battle Royal-Randy Orton- With winning the rumble Orton has secured himself a spot at Wrestlemania but one has to wonder if him punting Mr. McMahon in the head last week on Raw will have any repercussions on his spot at Wrestlemania.
