sharksfan_93 Royal rumble was a mix of great and very bad, there were two great matches and the rest was very bad.MATCH 1 - ROYAL RUMBLE QUALIFIER big show vs Brock lesnar(WIN). 6:15. Typical big man match. only good thing was the f-5. 5/10 MATCH 2 - WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH Dudley boyz(WIN) vs regal and lance storm. 7:26. Another boring match, way to short and boring while it lasted. 5/10MATCH 3 - STEPDAUGHTER VS STEPMOTHER dawn Marie vs Torrie Wilson(WIN). 3:35. One of the worst womens matches ever, stupid storyline and so was the match. 0/10MATCH 4 - WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH triple h vs Scott steiner(WIN BY DQ). 17:00. This match wasted 18 minutes of my life, it was probably the most boring title matches ever it was slow through the whole 18 minutes. skip it. 1/10MATCH 5 - WWE HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Kurt angle(WIN) vs Chris benoit .19:18. This has gotta be the one of the greatest single matches of all time, definitely the best title match, it had plenty of reversals and non stop action through the whole 20 minutes, they used all there moves plenty of times and ended with angle making benoit tap. 10/10MATCH 6 - ROYAL RUMBLE (Brock lesnar wins). 56:00. This would've been the greatest rumbles ever but it was too predictable and the ending was pretty bad but everything else was great including Michaels getting.screwed and when weapons were introduced. 9.5/10Royal rumble 2003 is a bad ppv but i would get the DVD for the wwe title match and the rumble but skip the rest.

Evan ROYAL RUMBLE 2003 from Boston, MA ratings out of 10 * Brock Lesnar vs Big Show (4) Lesnar wins to gain entrance to the Rumble match later in the show. Pretty much the same as their Survivor Series except with no title on the line in this one. Pretty standard and only memorable for Lesnar connecting the F5 on Big Show.* Regal & Storm vs The Dudley Boyz (3) Duds win the titles here in a very uninspired match. Lasts maybe 5 minutes. Forgettable despite the title change.* Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie (DUD) Nuff said about this garbage. Instead of the logical brawl these two should have had, they went out there and tried to wrestle a technically sound match. Not a good idea. Skip this one.* Triple H vs Scott Steiner (DUD) To quote Randy Quaid in Days of Thunder, this one looked like a "monkey screwing a football". Steiner proves that he is washed up. Helmsley did everything he could to sell his crappy array of clotheslines and suplexes. Crowd quickly turns on Steiner which would have made this match pretty funny had it not been so god awful to watch.* Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit (9) This is where to start watching the show. One of the best WWE title matches in a while. Couldn't quite give this one a 10 because of some of the headlocks early. Other than that, there are no other complaints about this match. If you're a wrestling fan, you can;t not like what these guys accomplished here.* Brock Lesnar won the Rumble match (6) Its hard to grade these matches since they are so long and involve so many men. There were many good moments in this particular Rumble including Jericho's attack of HBK and HBK's eventual payback. Not a bad way to spend 60 minutes however I would have liked to a see a more dramatic finish.

evilman574 The Royal Rumble 2003 sunk even further than 2002 with the low quality matches and very predictable winner of the Royal Rumble Match.SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!Brock Lesnar def The Big Show to enter the Rumble match. BoringStepdaughter vs Stepmother match: Torrie Wilson def Dawn Marie. Torrie always gets over.Tag Team Championship: The Dudley Boyz def Willam Regal and Lance Storm to win the titles. The Title win was short lived as the face team of the Dudley were screwed over the next night.World Heavyweight Championship: Scott Steiner def Triple H by DQ Triple H retains. I'm not a big fan of either men. Crappy match. I almost turned it off after this match. Luckliy I didn'tWWE Championship: Kurt Angle def Chris Benoit. The best match of the night and one of the best of the year. I was amazed that this match topped their match at Wrestlemania 17 and Unforgiven 2002. Made the rest of my night enjoyable.Royal Rumble Match: Brock Lesnar wins after last eliminating The Undertaker. My money was on Lesnar and was 3 for 3 in Rumble matches. Strong showings by Chris Jericho, Shawn Michales, Undertaker and Kane. Watching Christian run in there and hug Edge was a classic. Edge beat his ass. HBK helped Jericho get eliminated by Test. Matt Hardy trying to align with Jeff was funny and resulted him getting a beating. Maven tried to eliminate the Undertaker again, but Undertaker knew what Maven was up to and Undertaker eliminated Maven and showed him who was boss. I guess Maven didn't learn from his ass beating in 2002 a dumb kid I tell ya.Overall 6 out of 10

nightngale_26 **SPOILERS**Well, here we are starting off a new year in the illustrious WWE. Haha, to be honest I think WWE has gone straight down the toilet ever since the Alliance came. And the first PPV of 2003 was very unimpressive.Match #1 Brock Lesnar V. Big Show - Winner has a slot in the Royal RumbleVery predictable match, although what match isnt predictible with Brock Lesnar? He reminds me of a 2000 Rock, always getting babied, Lesnar suplexes Show quite a few times, which still doesnt seem to impress me, Big Show doesnt know how to "jump"? Lesnar ends the match with a sloppy F-5.Winner: Brock Lesnar Rating: 4.2Match #2 Dudley Boyz V. William Regal and Lance StormThis was the only match that I didnt call or thought was predictable the entire event. I was for sure Regal was going to sneak another win in for this very impressive tag team. This time the Dudley Boyz "turn the tables" on Storm and Regal as D-Von used the brass knucs to take out Lance Storm. NO TABLES by the way...kind of disapointing but an okay match.Winner and new Tag Champs: The Dudley Boyz Rating: 5.0Match #3Torrie Wilson V. Dawn Marie Well now we come to the Al Wilson saga (yippie). I drove down to the Uni-Mart to pick up a gallon of milk for my coffee when this match came on. Later that night, rewinded the tape I record it on, I knew I was going to regret itWinner: Torrie Wilson Rating: 3.0Match #4 "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner V. Triple HI knew I was going to need that coffee for something, and indeed I did. Very boring match the entire way through. Ever since Steiner came to the WWE and started working house shows, the staff has not been impressed with Steiner, and to put him in a headlining match for his first match, and being a world title match, very bad move on the WWE's part. Very slow paced match, Triple H tried to get the easy way out a few times, (some "game") and the match ended up a DQ after Triple H hit Steiner with a sledgehammer, some tough guy. Steiner afterwards hit Triple H with the sledgehammer getting a bad reaction from the fans. Can you blame them for booing? As disgusted as I was with Steiners position in the WWE, and his ring work, I would boo him too...Winner: No Contest Rating: 1.8Match #5 Chris Benoit V. Kurt AnglePhew, 1 word can describe this, satisfying. Something that I wasnt after this terrible event. Bottom line, you have 2 of the greatest technical, well maybe greatest all-a-round wrestlers in WWE history, after many times these guys have fought it out, this match was most impressive, as are pretty much all the Benoit/Angle matches. My thoughts on this match was, there was no losers, these guys are both winners because they put on darn good shows. Kurt Angle won the match fair n square (Can you believe it!?) and proved to Chris Benoit that he is the better man. Benoit got a standing ovation afterwards, which he deserved.Winner: Kurt Angle Rating: 8.8Match #6 The Royal Rumble MatchThis was the biggest stinker of the night. How predictable can a Royal Rumble get? I thought it couldnt get any more predictable after last years Royal Rumble, but this was down right wrong. Jericho eliminated Michaels in about 35 seconds after getting a cheap shot by coming from under the ring and attacking him with a chair. So long Shawn. Rey Mysterio came in at #4, and he should have stayed in longer, great, but short preformance by Rey Rey. After the 10th entry there was 1 remaining man left, B-2...eh? No, it was Y2J. *Of course* RVD then comes out which gets the crowd going. Blah, blah, blah..boring boring boring lets get to the 29th entry, Brock Lesnar...can you get anymore babied? Lesnar eliminated Team Angle and Matt Hardy. The 20th unknown entry *hmmm I wonder who that would have been* was of course the Undertaker. 1 highlighter of the night was Kane tricking RVD by teaming up..Kane lifted RVD up and it looked like he was going to throw him onto Batista, but Kane makes a U-Turn and dumps RVD out. Final Four, Batista, Lesnar, Kane, Taker...the big guys. Taker eliminates Batista and Kane. Here comes the big let down of the night. Lesnar eliminates Taker to win the Royal Rumble...*nods head*...I dont know what Lesnar is going backstage with McMahon, but it cant be good. This PPV really stunk. Vince, get your head out of your filthy rich bootae. If this is the way the WWE is starting to be in the year 2003, will there even be a WWE?Winner: Brock Lesnar: Rating: 4.6My Top 3 Favorite Moments of the Night: 1. The Kurt Angle/Chris Benoit Match 2. Jericho eliminating HBK before the 4th entry even comes in.. 3. JR mentioning Tajiri has a great chance at winning the Royal Rumble *I still chuckle a bit after hearing that*My Top 3 Least Favorite Moments of the Night: 1. Brock Lesnar winning the Royal Rumble 2. Brock Lesnar beating the Big Show to be in the Royal Rumble 3. *tie* The Angle/Benoit match ending, and The Triple H/Stiener Match.
