4.0 out of 5 stars THE ROYALLLL RUMBLEEE, August 8, 2009

By	Corey Adams "Corey" (Dickson, Tennessee) - See all my reviews

1. ECW Championship Match: Jack Swagger vs Matt Hardy Surprisley, a good match. I really liked it and Swagger wins his first ECW Title. 4/5

2. Women's Championship Match: Beth Phoenix vs Melina Not much,but Melina wins the title. 2/5

3. World Heavyweight Championship: John Cena vs JBL Not a very good match. Without Shawn Michaels, this would be a DUD 3.5/5

4. WWE Championship Match: Jeff Hardy vs Edge They had a good match, except for the ending when Matt hit Jeff with the chair, but it was pretty good. 4/5

5. Royal Rumble Match Winner: Randy Orton I thought it was a pretty good Rumble. Legacy controlled the whole match. It came down to Orton, DiBiase, Rhodes, and Triple H 5/5

Pretty good PPV, but not as good as Armageddon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Randy Orton's Legacy Begins..., February 6, 2009

By	D.P. (California) - See all my reviews

ECW Champion Jack Swagger vs. Matt Hardy - For Jack Swagger's PPV debut, he delievered a a solid wrestling match here with Matt Hardy and continued to showcase his inring potential with his storytelling on Hardy's arm throughout the match. Solid opening match.

Womens Champion Beth Phoenix vs. Melina - It just seemed like they weren't clicking here as you openily saw some botched moves, off timing, along with the crowd at one point more focused on cheering Santino at ringside than the match itself. One memorable moment though was when Beth stretched Melina's leg to the point where she had Melina kicking herself in the head with her own foot. In the end, this was their weakest match together as they were just off here but what's ironic is that their worst day is still a more watchable & better performance than you would get from some of the other divas on their best day.

World Champion John Cena vs. J.B.L. - If anyone remembers their matches from WrestleMania 21 along with Judgment Day & One Night Stand from 2008, you know not to expect much from these two unless it's a hardcore type match like Judgment Day '05 & Great American Bash 2008. But I'll give it credit as these two put on their best "wrestling" match here as it wasn't one sided here & both men trading offense. The wild card with Shawn Michaels at ringside helped this match more than hurt it as this was again, their best "wrestling" match that we should have gotten during their previous 3 attempts at a normal match.

No Disqualification Match: WWE Champion Jeff Hardy vs. Edge - Chavo Guerrero was in Edge's corner for this match & Vickie Guerrero made it a No DQ match. I can never remember Jeff Hardy (who looked very similar to the Joker from "The Dark Knight") & Edge having a bad match and this was no exception as they just worked well together with the No DQ rule making various highlights like Hardy's dangerous leap off the ladder onto Chavo before the ending that was a shock to everyone involved with the match. Great match between these two but again, when did they have a bad one?

Royal Rumble Battle Royal: This Rumble heavily made up for last years as we got a bunch of welcomed suprizes here in terms of either performances or special appearences and at one point, we had the most wrestlers in the ring at the same time during the match that I ever remember seeing. Various highlights include the opening minutes with the young talents getting the spotlight for a while, Cryme Tyme's coin flip, how Mysterio re-entered the ring after being tossed out, the "Rhodes Family Reunion", Rob Van Dam's appearence & "no ring rust" performance including one awesome looking double team move he did with Mysterio at one point, Santino's Rumble performance, "Hi I'm Dolph Ziggler", seeing the 400 pound Big Show "skin the cat" at one point, and the dominance of Randy Orton's Legacy. Great Rumble match overall that delievered.

In the end, this was a very enjoyable Rumble overall with the only bad match being Melina & Beth having an off night so I recommend overall.
