A solid start for 2008 with a surprise finish!

2008 kicks off for the WWE with one of the biggest ppv's of the year: the Royal Rumble. As always, this show is billed as the place where we begin the "Road to Wrestlemania." The much anticipated Royal Rumble match will determine the main event for Wrestlemania. This DVD provides the show in full and has a bonus match from Raw.

THE SHOW
* Career Threatening Match: Ric Flair vs. MVP. Flair gives a good brief speech before the match, which gets the crowd fired up. These two give a better performance than their last meeting at Vengeance in June 2007. This is a good opener, with the hot New York crowd boosting this from a decent match to a good match.

* Mr. McMahon discusses the Rumble Match with Hornswoggle.

* Chris Jericho vs. JBL. These two give a good brawl. It is certainly not a wrestling match. JBL hasn't wrestled on ppv since Judgment Day of 2006, and he seems a bit rusty. However, the technical failings are covered up by some fun hardcore brutality. Jericho's big return seems to have fizzled quickly. :(

* Ashley tries to talk to Maria.

* World Championship: Edge (c) vs. Rey Mysterio. After winning the belt back last month at Armageddon, Edge defends his title against Mysterio. These two have always had good chemistry. Having been tag champs together, they know each other well. The match is enjoyable, but Edge never seems in danger of losing. The match ends with a cool looking spot.

* Ric Flair in his locker room. Good interactions with Kennedy, HBK, Batista, and Triple H.

* Maria's Kiss Cam. Ashley & Maria tease the annual Playboy shoot. This would be a failing boring segment if it weren't for Santino's humor. He's just really entertaining to watch.

* WWE Championship: Randy Orton (c) vs. Jeff Hardy. Following his upset victory at Armageddon, Jeff gets his first ppv title shot. The crowd is clearly behind him. Orton and Jeff were okay together, but seem to lack the strong energy needed to put on an amazing match. The suspense at the end is agonizing. There was a real feel that Jeff might actually win the title. The fans really wanted it, but they were denied.

* 2008 Royal Rumble match. This year's rumble was fun. The two to start it were the two that ended it last year. Throughout the match, we got a lot of good moments. The New York crowd really helped this match. There were some good surprise entrants, like Foley, Roddy Piper, and Jimmy Snuka. Now, the ending... despite how people complain about it now, just listen to the reaction when Cena arrives. It was easily the biggest surprise in ages, and the crowd's initial reaction tells it all. Its a lot of fun to watch the final three face off. This match had a good start and a good ending. The middle was a little slower this year, but certainly not bad.

EXTRAS
* Raw 1/14/08 - Intercontinental Championship: Jeff Hardy (c) vs. Randy Orton.

* Home Video Exclusive: Triple H talks to John Cena post Royal Rumble match.

Overall, this was a really fun show. The Rumble always adds some excitement to a show. Once again, some young wrestlers got to challenge for the World titles. Cena made a surprise return, and Jeff showed he had what it takes to be a main eventer. May 29, 2008
