**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 Rumble
Very 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: 4.2
Match #2 Dudley Boyz V. William Regal and Lance Storm
This 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: 5.0
Match #3
Torrie 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 it
Winner: Torrie Wilson Rating: 3.0
Match #4 "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner V. Triple H
I 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: 1.8
Match #5 Chris Benoit V. Kurt Angle
Phew, 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: 8.8
Match #6 The Royal Rumble Match
This 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: 4.6
My 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.
