1. Cruiserweight Invitational: Kid Kash (C) v. Funaki v. Jaime Noble v. Paul London v. Nunzio v. Gregory Helms
This was a pretty good match with alot of high flying moves and some solid technical wrestling. Its one of the stronger matches on the card but it wasnt given nearly enough time to really take off. Predictable ending.

2. Ashley Massaro v. Mickie James (with Trish Stratus as Special Guest Referee)
Generally speaking, the women's division on Raw is fairly poor, with the division mainly consisting of Ashley, Mickie and Trish, and this match shows just how weak the division is. Ashley completely tanked in her first major match while Mickie James proved to be average. Trish made the match somewhat interesting as the guest referee but there isnt much to see here.

3. JBL v. Boogeyman
This match is worth seeing only for the Boogeyman's antics. Otherwise, there's nothing to talk about here. Very weak match, one of the worst I've seen on a PPV in awhile. Complete squash.

4. The 2006 Royal Rumble
Although you could figure out down to two or three men who would win by the time numbers one and two came out, this was a fairly good Royal Rumble. A couple surprise returns and a surprise entrant made the match even more interesting, and Rob Van Dam looked good in his first match in almost a year. This is the strongest match of the night, but it was really underplayed and the fact that it wasnt even the main event, but the fourth match out of six indicates that whoever won the match wont be in the main event at Wrestlemania.

5. Edge (C) v. John Cena
This match was decent. Edge is capable of putting on some very good matches and when you put Cena in the ring with someone who can wrestle, he usually looks decent. His gimmick is still revolting, and its a shame that Edge is being pushed to the back so that Cena can be champion again. His 9 month reign was fairly abysmal and its hard to be positive about his second title run, but so long as he's bringing in extra revenue for the company with his mediocre rap record, he'll be the champion.

6. Kurt Angle (C) v. Mark Henry
This match was absolutely awful. There is no reason that Mark Henry should ever be in the main event of a major pay per view like the Royal Rumble. Angle did all he could to make this match worth watching, but he failed. Fortunately, it was rather short. The Undertaker's appearance after the match was the most interesting part, though it could have been saved for the next episode of Smackdown! so that the Royal Rumble could have been the main event, as it should be.

The Royal Rumble is my favorite event of the year, but outside of the Rumble match itself, there is nothing really worth watching here, except maybe for the Cruiserweight Invitational. If you really love Rumble matches, buy this, otherwise, dont waste your money as the rest of the event isnt nearly good enough to justify dropping more than a couple dollars on.

The best match of the night as ever in any Royal Rumble event was the Royal Rumble match itselfl it's always fast paced with surprises and continues to keep the audiences in arenas and at home thrilled for a whole hour.

Mysterio stepped up to the big leagues and proved that size is irrelevant; determination, heart and luck helps you to win the Rumble match, and only the 2nd Superstar in the history of the event to win from entering at # 2.

Now, I like John Cena; but the WWE Championship match between him and Edge was not the best match of the card that night; it doesn't help matters that both of them are essentially street-fighters. That just doesn't work for a good match, two mat-specialists together leads to an exciting match, but that match didn't do it for me.

I liked how they incorporated the theme of Roman times into the event with the stage looking like the doors to the Roman Colleseum.

The Road to WrestleMania; begins once more.
