Well the 2008 rumble was a bit of a mixed bag, some really good things and some pretty poor things.
Ric Flair vs. MVP got us underway, not too bad for an opener, with Flair picking up the win after a patented figure four(***)
Jericho vs. JBL was up next and again was pretty uneventful until Y2J got himself DQ'd by whacking The Wrestling God with a chair, Jericho then preceded to choke the hell out of JBL.(***)
Then Edge vs. Mysterio was up, this was the best match of the card, Vickie Guerrero got involved making the save for Edge, who managed to spear ReyRey after an attempted west coast pop and pick up the win (****)
Hardy got a huge reaction before his match with Orton, there wasn't much high flying which kept the odds in Ortons favour. Maybe a Matt run in or Balcony senton could have helped Hardy, but it wasnt to be, as Jeff attempted a twist of fate, Orton countered with an RKO to get the win.(***)
Ashley somehow was allowed on the mic, only saved by Santino Marella and Maria. Who looks set to be posing for playboy. :)
The rumble started off with the 2 men that finished last years, there were a few suprise entrants, Roddy Piper and Jimmy Snuka, but up until the last 3 it was pretty standard stuff. The fact Finlay got DQ'd before even entering(or not entering at all and there never used to be DQ's in rumble matches) and Hornswoggle never got eliminated it ruined my enjoyment of the match. Cena was the last man out, it was a bit of a shock but i had heard rumours he may show up, he then eliminated Triple H who had just eliminated Batista to book his place at WM24.(***)
