Twisted14 I really feel sorry for anyone who bought this PPV or DVD. I don't understand how this can be worth $30 or so. It is really only worth $10. It is worth that much because of 2 matches, one of which (the opening match) was not listed on the back of the DVD case.Match 1: 6-Man Cruiserweight Invitational. Now this is why I love cruiserweights. Fast-paced, exciting matches. This was no exception. With a few high-spots and some bumps this was a great opener. It would have been nice if it went for a little bit longer as it went for under 10 minutes. 9/10 Match 2: Mickie James vs. Ashley Massaro (Trish Stratus as Special Guest Referee). I was very happy when this match was over because it was extremely boring. The wrestling was awful, but I think it may have been one of Ashley's first matches so I will give her that. Not much else I can say. 3/10 Match 3: The Boogeyman vs. JBL. Well the Boogeyman's entrance is cool and then watching him eat some worms. That was about it for this match. At least it was nice and short. 3/10 Match 4: The Royal Rumble. I was quite surprised that this was mid-card instead of main event but it makes sense once you finish watching the whole PPV. Anyway, what can I say, it's a Royal Rumble, they are always exciting although mid-way through it does start to get a little bit boring but it picks up again. I did like the dedication to Eddie Guerrero but at times I felt that they were doing it a little too much. But still, great match, probably not the best Rumble. The only other Royal Rumble I have seen is 2005 and I believe that was better than this. 7/10 Match 5: Edge vs. John Cena. I expected a bit more from this match, but not too bad I suppose. It was decent. 6/10 Match 6:Kurt Angle vs. Mark Henry. Pretty Bad for a Main Event match. Should have had the Cruiserweights at Main Event but for some reason they are not Main Event Status even though they can put on a better match than a lot of other wrestlers. I like Kurt Angle though and I enjoy watching his technical wrestling but this match was far from his best and probably far from his average too. 4/10 After the Main Event match The Undertaker came out on a horse and cart. Awesome entrance for the Deadman. He then caused the ring to buckle and fall. It didn't look fantastic but it was pretty cool. I am a huge fan of Undertaker though, so only if you're a fan. I will give this segment 9/10.Wow, the Undertaker segment was better than the whole Royal Rumble PPV (except for the opener). This is only worth renting and it's actually kind of sad that the WWE put out something like this. It looked very promising when you start watching but then it just turns to crap. It's too bad that the awesome set they used was wasted on this event.The WWE has started off on a bad note in 2006. Thankfully it gets better.Royal Rumble 2006 overall rating - 5/10

Mike Royal Rumble 2006 was a horrible show. 2 good matches, 1 decent and the rest were horrible which I believe was 3.Cruiserweight Open: This was a great way to open the show, a lot of high flying spots made it better. **1/4 Boogeyman vs JBL: Why is this on the card again. Just horrible. Luckily, kept short. DUD Mickie James vs Ashley with Trish Stratus as Referee: Another horrible match. I wasn't in to it at all and the crowd wasn't either. Not hard to tell why though. DUD Royal Rumble Match: Why is this in the middle again? Please explain. This was a decent match, nothing spectacular. This may have been the worst Royal Rumble Match ever though. **1/4 John Cena vs Edge: This was another decent match. This was the best match on the card though, but not too impressive. 10 minutes long wasn't so long though. Decent like I said. **1/4 Mark Henry vs Kurt Angle: Why is this the main event. This must have been the worse Main Event ever. * Royal Rumble 2006 is a D.

kliko400 This was a solid Royal Rumble PPV to begin with just like last year's Rumble as well.WWE Cruiserweight Invitational Match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Gregory Helms vs. Funaki vs. Kid Kash vs. Paul London vs. Jamie Noble vs. Nunzio 6/10: Good match of course with the cruiser-weight all in the ring battling it out, you'll know that it is a good match. Gregory Helms wins after pinning Funaki to capture his first WWE Cruiserweight Championship.Mickie James vs. Ashley Special guest referee: Trish Stratus 3/10: Most Diva matches are boring like this one. Mickie James wins after getting Ashley in a roll-up & using the ropes for leverage.JBL vs. Boogeyman 4/10: Pretty boring & sloppy, but it had enough effort for a match. Boogeyman wins after a Pump-Handle like slam finisher.Royal Rumble match 8/10: This is the match of the night which featured new wrestlers as well participated in the Rumble. Mysterio wins after eliminating Orton last.WWE Championship Edge vs. John Cena 7/10: Good match, probably the second best match of the night, great to see John Cena win after making Edge tap out to the STFU to capture his WWE Championship back.World Heavyweight Championship Kurt Angle vs. Mark Henry 3/10: The worst match of the night & the worst main event ever. Angle wins after a chairshot on the head of Mark Henry then an Angle Slam.Overall: Good PPV just like last year's, i'll give it 8/10 & B passable.

gridoon 1) 6-Man Invitational for the Cruiserweight title. Kid Kash vs. Funaki vs. Jamie Noble vs. Paul London vs. Nunzio vs. Gregory Helms. A great choice for an opener. Fast-paced match with lots of high spots. ***2) Mickie James vs. Ashley, with Trish as the special guest ref. A mediocre match. You get the feeling that Mickie would like to get more technical (nice single-leg boston crabs), but the match is pulled towards a catfight, probably to cover up the inexperience of Ashley. Don't get me wrong, though, Ashley is undeniably learning. ** 3) JBL vs. The Boogeyman. What can I say about this? Awful, but at least short. * 4) The Royal Rumble Match. The middle part is kind of exhausting, but the beginning and the end, when the action can be followed more clearly, are very entertaining. The constant dedications to the memory of the late Eddie Guerrero are a matter of taste, though. Personally I find them distasteful. *** 5) Edge vs. John Cena (WWE title). An average match that offers something we haven't seen before: Cena getting out-wrestled most of the way, but coming out on top at the end! Who would have thought? ** 6) Kurt Angle vs. Mark Henry (WH title). Before the match, Angle cuts a HILARIOUS promo ("Oh, and by the way....Mark Henry, YOU SUCK!"). The match itself tells an interesting story: Kurt realizes that he can't beat the World's Fattest - em, I mean Strongest - Man with sheer technique, so he has to resort to cheating tactics (chair shots, etc.). **1/2 After the match, the Undertaker appears and, with the help of some ridiculous pyrotechnics, makes the ring collapse.
