[10.0] "The first WWE PPV i ever watched and still my favorite Royal Rumble match and event of all time, Flair vs MVP, Orton and Hardy, Edge vs Mysterio even JBL VS Jericho was decent and had such a brutal finish and of course the Rumble with one of the loudest pops in WWE history with Cena's return. miss this WWE aura."

[6.0] "While never great until the main event, which is probably the third greatest Rumble to this point after 2001's and the previous year's, this is a consistently solid event. Match 1: 5/10 Match 2: 6/10 Match 3: 6/10 Match 4: 7/10 Match 5: 8/10 Overall Total: 6.40/10"

[9.0] "Flair Vs MVP was bad, but JBL Vs Jericho, Edge Vs Mysterio and Orton Vs Hardy were all real solid, the royal rumble match was brilliant, the MSG crowd was red hot and the return of Cena was just phenomenal. Overall WWE Royal Rumble (2008) is a fantastic show."

[8.0] "This was a good PPV, but it had a bit of a slow start. It has my favorite rumble match of all time, which plays heavily into my rating, but most of the matches on here are forgettable. The Jeff Hardy match is pretty good though. The non wrestling segments are more annoying than anything else, as Santino Marella is featured heavily. Skip the first half of this, enjoy Hardy/Orton, and watch what I think is the most entertaining rumble of all time."

[6.0] "The definition of a solid PPV. For me all of the matches were at the similar, good level, but nothing really stood out. Flair and MVP had a decent one with Ric's career being on the line that added a little substance to the bout, JBL vs Jericho was alright, although the best thing came after the match, Edge vs Mysterio had a mixed reaction from the crowd that produced a unique atmosphere and Orton vs Hardy had a potential for a better underdog story, but they still delivered with a pretty enjoyable contest. And then the Royal Rumble Match like last year's got elevated a bit by the final encounter between Cena, Triple H and Batista, because up to this point the star power was barely decent and there weren't many things to pop for. It was still solid though and John winning was a nice way to end the show."

[5.0] "One of the most consistent cards you'll see, and a good start to 2008. However, unfortunately, this card doesn't really go above 'good' for very much. Edge vs. Mysterio was the best and JBL vs. Jericho was better than anticipated. The Rumble was fun, but had a lot of problems for me. There isn't a point during this event where you'll want to fast forward, but I also don't think this is a show that'll leave you saying 'wow' when it's over. Definitely a good show that's worth your time to watch, but nothing that I'd say is a 'must watch' here."

[7.0] "A pretty good show throughout. The Flair vs MVP opener served its purpose, while JBL vs Jericho, Edge vs Mysterio and Orton vs Hardy were all decent. The Rumble itself was also solid; Cena's return and win were somewhat unexpected, Michaels and Taker had memorable interactions through the first half, and Batista, Punk and - surprisingly - Chuck Palumbo got decent showings. It also had a few drawbacks - the legends weren't in it long enough to really be able to add too much to the match, and there was a fair amount of Hornswoggle silliness. But, overall, a decent enough Rumble for its period."

[8.0] "1) **3/4 MVP needed a great partner to look good and 2008 Ric Flair couldn't be it of course 2) ** This must be the worst match in Y2J's career 3) ***1/4+ I really don't get why not even a 6 for this match. 4) ***1/2 The match was pretty simple: Jeff wanted to run, but Orton slowed him down. The final was perfect to build Randy as a legit champion. Not a masterpiece, but it worked. 5) ****1/4 Speaking of things that worked! Great start with the 2007 finalists that carried the match almost for 2/3 of it. Then the perfect final: HHH with 29 and we all thought he was going to win, but then the greatest surprise ever with Cena's return. The final 3 was one of the most epic ever. When the Rumble delivers, the whole event delivers. Title matches were enjoyable too."

[6.0] "It's an okay event, nothing too exciting but everything flows in a natural way. The Royal Rumble match has some competition and the return of John cena, Edge vs Rey Mysterio is a letdown, Randy Orton vs Jeff Hardy is good, Ric Flair vs MVP continues to be part of Flair's final part of his career, Jericho vs JBL is bloody and interesting."

[5.0] "Certainly not one of my favourite rumbles, it was alright though a few good matches and the Rumble to finish. The Rumble wasn't anything spectacular to me but they not normally are more of a spectacle than a good match."

[9.0] "Flair vs MVP: ** Jericho vs JBL: **1/2 Edge vs Mysterio: *** Orton vs Hardy: *** Royal Rumble: ****1/2 Probably my all time favorite entrance setup. But anyway, the show was great, nothing that was below average, with both title matches delivering and the rumble was entertaining as hell, with lots of drama from the start with Taker and Michaels, sort of loses itself midway through, then added again with Cena's completely unexpected return."
