I personally like how the Intercontinental Championship Match played out in a "storyline kind of aspect", it was cool...cool how Del Rio was robbed of his championship by Chris Jericho because of his alliance with Sheamus. THAT is good stuff.

However, not being told beforehand what's going to happen, as it played out in the video, not good. If I was in Del Rio's position and it was my belt, you better damn well believe that I would have left the session and ordered the match to be restarted immediately after bitching Larry Scott out for at least 10 minutes.

But, much like me, you think bitching Larry Scott out is fun.


As Ego said, I prefer having great promos and shitty match quality. This, this was unexpected. Nice work, Mr. Ed. I liked it.

As for the whole, "being told beforehand" thing, yeah, let's just start letting the champion know before MITB is cashed in.

Different. I liked it, though, if I had of been the champ, I don't think I would have agreed as much, but I am quite the theatrical type. So, who knows? I mean, I let you ref a gauntlet match, which, if I may remind everyone: Mr. Mark, you screwed me out of. So, I only find it fitting that the fun is in the pudding, where you least expect it.

Well the "pudding" must be some generic shit because I'M SICK OF IT! Just kidding, good storyline guys. But I do think you should have told Alberto Doritos beforehand.

Shane's Royal Rumble Review

Jericho Promo: Damn that's a good promo.

Jericho vs. Del Rio: Enough has surely been said about this... It wasn't supposed to go down like that but enough is enough.

Edge Promo: Very good promo... A nice intro and some seriousness in regards to RVD. Not insults, just raw emotion... I like it.Great talk about the Rumble as well, just too damn bad that you weren't even in it. -_- However, as it got expanded from 20 to 30... It was a bad oversight by those involved and apologies for the missed opportunity.

MITB: Great spots all over this one and it was really anyone's game... but I just don't know how that went down... yes.. Sheamus... You Had IT! I don't know what happened... However, it's simply passed the point of impressive to see Anderson walk into a high profile match and walk out the winner no matter who or how many people he's up against. Congratulations to Mr. MITB!

Shane/Cena Promo: Short sweet and to the point... it served its purpose.

Tag Team Match: Damn the wyatts lost... Interesting... but Cesaro and Langston are good individually so no surprise there that they got the win there.

Orton Promo: Hmm... McInJoke,,, Not bad Then damn you go ape shit on the camerman... So all that anger and there's going to be a match afterall.. Damn you Orton... we might just have to fine you. Good promo, I can't wait to see your Orton promos develop over time.

Rock vs. Cody: This match was over quicker than I expected to be frank. Cody was all over Rocky, so I just don't know what happened. That Rock Bottom was a bit unsuspsecting to be fair and man it can be a nightmare trying to kick out... Anyhow, well done to The Rock and good game fellas.

Miz vs. Ambrose: It's finally here... The first of 2 MITB Qualifying matches... Let's go. Some very solid wrestling exchanges going on here in the early going, basically move for move between the two. Ya konw I know it's instinctive for some people, but I just am not fond of the concept of people doing a running move after countering a move off of the ground by the other person. I think SOOL would be better without it. And then wow, I'm not sure why this became a match with no rules, but I'm glad they threw the rule book out because I think we all can agree that this one would be personal. Certainly a nice Kick outs from Miz down the strecth but Ambrose proved to be too much to handle and earned his spot into the MITB ladder match at WrestleMania V. Oh and I don't know about some people, but I actually like it when people pin off of non-finishers just to add a bit of a dramatic effect to the match.

RVD vs Edge: So far so good, but three minutes into match and I was really intrigued... RVD had this 2 move combo that could have been three but Edge avoided it... It looked awesome... RVD with a head takedown followed by a bulldog and then a quick attempt to kick his head off from the top rope... A very nice sequence and would have been killer if you had hit it. It was unfortunate for Edge when RVD kicked out of the spear, but It was still a bit early, despite that Rocky was able to beat Cody off of 1 finisher... and the match continues. I really widsh that moonsault finisher was the split legged one but I'm interested to see what finisher you plan on going with next. One of the better matches of the night, closely contested and it was simply 1 counter that made all difference. Well done guys and congrats to RVD for also continuing onward to WrestleMania V's MITB.

Orton vs. McIntyre: Short write up... Not bad although I believe it was done last minute. I'd like to see how you'd do a write up when given more time. Congratulations on becoming a champion Orton and I am sure Drew is looking to move up in SOOL. I am certainly interested in seeing how things turn out for the both of them.

Cena vs. Wyatt: great match and I hope people take the time to review it and enjoy it because it was a more than enjoyable feud. I know where I made my mistakes in that match and it led to my downfall but I have no regrets about it at all.

Wyatt Promo: Yeah you did it... celebrate for now -_-

Royal Rumble: I really enjoyed most of this rumble. As many have already mentioned before... Sheamus' brogue kick was awesome, Ryback's double elimination was super cool... Cesaro collecting the bounty... Oh and I loved the moment where Ryback had just eliminated his 5th person (most in the entire rumble) and then CM Punk returned as Ryback was all alone and then in true king Punk fashion.. Punk elminates the big bad Ryback... Just so perfect. Then Anderson eliminating Punk and the commentary... like the SOOL app was just great. Oh and then it all came down to Jeff Hardy and John Cena... Classic, which it could have lasted a little longer but JEff won and well I came so close... I sure am going to try and prove who the better man is in our match this week... I sure as Hell won't be overlooked as a top competitor in SOOL despite a bumpy Rumble for Cena... overall good stuff though.

WHC Match: Well Del Rio is rolling right off the bat and the running knee lift that sent Barrett over the top and out to the floor was nasty. This was pretty much all Del Rio, Wade spent too much time out of the ring trying to regroup and he just couldn't get anything going as Del Rio was on his A game... Congrats to Del Rio for yet another successful title defense and I'm wondering if anyone will be able to stop him at all.

Edited my review a bit to reflect on Cena vs. Wyatt and Jericho vs. ADR.

Cody Rhodes vs The Rock: I didn't expect this to end so early. Rhodes may be on an even worse slump than Edge! However it is also nice to see UNVME back in action and dominating like he always does.

I wouldn't call it "dominating like always". To be fair, all The Rock did to Cody Rhodes the entire match was The Rock Bottom. Other than that, he had absolutely no offense. The Rock got his ass kicked. No idea though how Cody Rhodes got hit with one move but couldn't kick out. Ouch.
