I watched the Royal Rumble this Sunday, my first pay per view in 8 or 9 months. It looked as if this would be one worth buying. So here are my thoughts.

Either get rid of Big Show or make him a more believable character. Yep, Big Show jobbed to Brock Lesnar, but it just didn't look believable. It's impossible to believe Big Show could be man handled ( or is that monster handled) by Brock or anyone else on the roster. At least Lesnar is strong to F5 show, so it appears plausible Show could lose to him, But frankly, if Show doesn't have a chance to make an impact and get some wins under his belt, he should be released to go to TNA or another promotion that will utilize him better.

Why are Regal and Storm on a pay per view. They don't excite anyone, except Jim Ross. I know Ross is fond of the pair, but who else is? The crowd at my house definitely wasn't. The Dudleys need a more exciting opponent and deserve worthy adverseries.

The HHH vs Scott Steiner match should have been the best of the night. This is the match which induced me to fork over my money. Unfortunately, it failed to meet my expectations. Steiner completely dominated the match. This was big mistake. A seesaw match, with both men taking turns, would have been much more excting. Instead, HHH, who has been unstoppable for the last several years, was unable to mount any successful offensive. This was too great a departure from the past. How can HHH go from unstoppable champion to a coward? It's not believable.
