Just finished it. Originally I was a little pissed about Sheamus as I'd have taken Rhodes, Miz and Barrett over him as far as young guys go. Jericho, I was convinced was winning, so whilst a little disappointed, I'm glad I got a little surprise.
However, more I think about it, the more I realise CHRIS JERICHO DOES NOT NEED TO WIN THE ROYAL RUMBLE. He's a veteran already, this thing happens once a year, let the younger guy who needs it get some momentum going into wrestlemania. From a personal perspective, I like Sheamus, but I place the guys I mentioned above him and would have preferred them. But that doesn't change the fact that Sheamus has improved leaps and bounds since his horrible WWE title reign. He's also a superb babyface. Honestly, this is a very logical move by the WWE, and I think if people weren't blinded by Jericho's awesomeness, more would realise that this makes sense in the long run.
Aside from that;
- Ricardo Rodriguez entry was BEAUTIFUL. So nice to see his name get chanted as he steals the show in the little roles he has had over RAW and is a tremendous talent in ring. Hopefully we'll see him as a proper competitor, but as it stands, that was amazing.
- Santino/Foley sock standoff had me pissing myself.
- Santino's surreal roley poley move to Ricardo was... surreal... and hilarious.
- Commentators getting involved was entertaining, was really pulling for Booker at one point.
- Marked for Road Dogg and Kharma.
- Miz and Rhodes both came off extremely well last night.
Undercard was good. Bryan's match seemed like a waste, I hope the book is closed in terms of the Henry/ Show/ Bryan feud. Give him someone better to work with. Kane/ Cena was damn entertaining and as someone who is loving Kane right now and is becoming increasingly annoyed with Ryder and Cena, I really liked that ending. Kane looked strong, as he deserved to. Dolph/ Punk was a good wrestling match, ending came off a little awkward though. Rock/ Cena video packages were absolutely insane. Funkasaurus has already lost his appeal to me, can't believe they fed him Drew.
