WWE Royal Rumble 2006 (2006)

Very Cool!!!

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Blistering performances.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

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

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.

the royal rumble was pretty good. the cruiser weight match was nice which helms walked out as the winner. a nice 8out of 10 the Mickie James and Ashley match OK. a nice one won by Mickie James. 5out of 10 the royal rumble was nice and shocking. the winner was Rey mysterio a bit of a shock and sorta of un believable though. a nice 9out of 10 cena vs edge was an OK math i sorta knew that cena would win though but thats OK. 8 out 10 Kurt vs mark. pretty boring match but was well fought i knew that angle would win but that didn't ruin the match completely 5out of 10 all in the ppv was pretty good i wouldn't buy it though

This Rumble was far lower than last years. Three of the matches were just awful and the whole 'Rey Mysterio winning' seemed just to be built out of Eddie Guerrero passing away and when WWE uses Eddie's name to make money out of it they are sick.Results from the PPV:Gregory Helms defeated Funaki to win the Cruiserweight Championship which also consisted of Kid Kash, Paul London, Nunzio and Jamie Noble in a very good match. The Boogeyman defeated John 'Bradshaw' Layfield in a terrible match (poor John). Rey Mysterio won the Royal Rumble last eliminating Randy Orton. John Cena defeated Edge to win the WWE Championship (Why even bother to have made Edge champion for 2 weeks?). Mickie James defeated Ashley in a p*ss poor match. Kurt Angle defeated Mark Henry to retain the Heavyweight Championship in a poor match.Obviously The Rumble and The Cruiserweight match were the best matches on the card, but overall could have been MUCH BETTER!Overall Grade - C+
