The Best Wrestling Match Ever!!!.......2006-05-11
The High Point Of Attitude.......2004-05-28
The undercard, admittedly, is nothing special. It's a joke that the useless and highly overrated team of Billy Gunn and Road Dogg defend the World Tag Team Titles against the equally hopeless duo of Farooq and Bradshaw (God knows why he's in main events these days) while the red hot teams of The Dudleyz and The Hardyz wage belt-less war against each other in the first ever (and WWF's best) tables match.
Kurt Angle and Taz assemble a worthwhile and historic contest. As Angle would point out, the fact that it was his first ever loss in the company is far more noteworthy than "The Human Suplex Machine's" Federation debut. The match is short, but exciting.
The Miss Rumble Swimsuit competition is played for laughs, and fails to deliver. Who the Federation were trying to impress with the Mark Henry/Mae Young paring is anyone's guess, and the judges are made out to be dirty old men.
The card really picks up with the WWF Championship match. Mick Foley limps through his best match in years and plays a very sadistic, heel-like Cactus Jack, which is reminiscent of his ECW days. Miles away from the fun loving and slightly weird Mankind, Cactus is a veritable psycho in the ring, and Foley wrestles Triple H as though he would The Rock or any other babyface. Hunter's acting in this is impressive; the sadist that is Triple H really seems to have met his match in this encounter, and is suitably stunned by the onslaught of Jack's assaults.
The match builds to a frightening conclusion: for once, Triple H is unable to defeat an opponent with one Pedigree and must resort to another one, driving Foley's face into a carpet of thumb-tacks. This match was superior to their following Hell In A Cell at No Way Out and signalled the beginning of the end of one courageous combatant's storied career and the start of a reign of dominance for the heel that would help carry the company for the next four years (whether that's a good or bad thing considering Paul Levesque's backstage politics I'll leave up to you to decide).
Finally we come to the Rumble match itself. Although not warranting as much critical acclaim as its predecessor this was a worthwhile match, but it struggles to hold the fans attention until the unleashing of the big guns.
As utterly useless as the Big Show is, he's perfectly built for this type of match and displayed his admittedly impressive strength to dominate large portions of the Rumble. The increasingly erratic X-Pac pulled an Austin by re-entering himself after prior elimination and stunned the crowd by taking Kane out of the match, before being promptly ejected by The Show, leaving The Rock and the big man to battle it out for the Wrestlemania main event spot (for the record, both competed in the rather disappointing 'Mania 16 top match). Just as it looked like lights out for Rocky, The People's Champ managed to hold onto the middle rope as he was going over, sending The Big Show tumbling out of the ring thanks to his own sizable momentum.
Not a card for the ages then, but with one classic match and the backing of one hell of a drama. One legend falls, another beats the odds.
