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 WWE's 19th annual Royal Rumble event was truly atrocious. The event will only be remembered for one thing, Rey Mysterio's shock victory in the 30 man over the top rope battle royal. Whilst the Royal Rumble match itself was as entertaining as always the undercard, much like New Years Revolution a few weeks previous, was utterly dire.The only notable happening from the undercard was Gregory Helms jumping ship from Raw to Smackdown when he won the WWE Cruiserweight Championship invitational.Mickie James battling Ashley with Trish Stratus as the special guest referee would be a match best left for Raw. It had no place on one of the big four. The match was bad. Mickie won but I don't think anyone really cares.JBL has been billed as the longest running WWE Champion in ten years. So why in the hell did he fall to The Boogeyman in such short time? This could have single handedly demolished JBL's credibility and heaven knows it took long enough for the fans to accept him in the first place.Then came the Royal Rumble itself. Why it was so low down the card I do not know. Like I said earlier, an entertaining affair with Mysterio coming out on top after coming in at number 2 and going all the way. I still think it would have made more sense for Randy Orton to win the match but hell, what do I know. Triple H also put on a great performance coming in at number 1 and going to the final three. Another entertaining part of the match was Shawn Michaels being eliminated from behind by Shane McMahon.The WWE Championship was on the line when Edge defended against John Cena. The match was average and nothing more. Cena won and thus making Edge the "Transitional Champion" he did not want to be known as. What a terrible first Championship reign for Edge. The only decent thing coming from it was his TLC match with Ric Flair on Raw.And then the last match of the night. The good news? It involved Kurt Angle. The bad news? It also involved Mark Henry. Christ, I can't stand this useless waste of space. The match was terrible but still better than I expected. Angle won, which we all knew would happen anyway. As did the crowd in the American Airlines Arena, Miami Florida who started to filter out before the match had finished. This was a pity because they missed The Undertakers return at the end of the show to challenge Kurt Angle for the World Heavyweight Championship. The Dead Man demolished the ring with lighting bolts. Just a pity he hadn't done it before Mark Henry was due to wrestle.One of the worse events I have ever watched in WWE history. One to avoid.

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
