Royal Rumble (2002 TV Special)

Warning: Spoilers
The Royal Rumble 2002 was a good start for the year. I was expecting more than what 2001 brought but was not completely happy about how it all came out.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!

Tag Team Championship: Spike Dudley and Tazz def The Dudley Boyz to retain the titles. Throwaway match. Nuff said

Intercontinental Championship: Willam Regal def Edge to win the title. I'm a big fan of Edge and was disappointed that he lost.

Womens Championship: Trish Stratus def Jazz to retain the title. Alright match. I always enjoy watching Trish wrestle.

Street Fight: Ric Flair def Vince McMahon. Two old geezers can put on a good match. Both were bleeding and both had their moments. Flair put McMahon in the Figure Four Leglock and Vince tapped like a drunk man.

Undispuited WWE Championship: Chris Jericho def The Rock to retain the title. Finally Y2J was a world champion for longer than a 3 week period. I thought this was the best match of the night. Jericho plays an excellent heel. Jericho wins by putting his feet on the ropes to keep Rocks shoulders down long enough for the 3 count.

Royal Rumble match: Triple H wins by last eliminating Kurt Angle. Once again this match was predictable. How else to cap off HHH's return other than him winning it. I had my money on him and once again for the 2nd year straight won 35 bucks. Strong showings by. Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Booker T, Goldust, Val Venis, Mr. Perfect and Maven! watching Maven eliminate the Undertaker was great. Even better to watch his ass get handed to him by the taker.
