Pretty sweet PPV! I never thought i’d see a major title change at the Royal Rumble, but hey, it’s the Rock!
The rumble match was great. Kofi again with another “wow” moment, that was neat, with the chair. Kane catching Daniel Bryan, then dropping him after they argue, LOLOL……
Lots of Iron Men…..Chris Jericho, with his 47+ minute performance, moved into 4th place all-time in minutes lasted in the rumble match. Rey Mysterio despite only lasting 10:22, moved past Kane into 3rd alltime on the minutes list.
The top 5:
1. Triple H —–231:31
2. S. Michaels –222:26
3. Rey Mysterio -185:36
4. C. Jericho —185:10
5. Kane ———176:43
