Our ongoing Royal Rumble play-by-play will start shortly after 5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST.

They are using the old school entrance in the centre at MSG

1. Ric Flair vs MVP

Flair got on the mic and cut a promo putting over Madison Square Garden. He said it was the location of his first ever match. MVP cut him off.

MVP kicked Flair in the jaw and the referee counted to 3, but he noticed Flair's foot on the rope so the match continued.

Flair won when MVP tapped out clean to the Figure Four Leg Lock.

Vince met with Hornswoggle, Vince said he can't trust anybody in the rumble not even Finlay. Finlay came in and Vince told him, that he can't trust Hornswoggle.

They introduced the new announcer, he is doing the mean gene deal. He hyped up JBL vs Jericho.

2. JBL vs Chris Jericho

JBL beat on Jericho who got busted open. Jericho got booed and JBL got cheered(It's New York, but JBL has been booed in New York before). JBL won by DQ after Jericho hit him with a chair. After the match, Jericho choked JBL with a cable. Jericho finally got cheered for this.

63 days to Wrestlemania 24.

3. Edge vs Rey Mysterio for the World Title

Mysterio got booed and alot of people cheered for Edge. Hawkins and Ryder were sent to the back although Vickie remained at ringside.

Finish came when Rey went for the 619 but Vickie "took the bullet" for Edge by standing in front of him. Rey went for a springboard but Edge speared him in midair to get the pin and retain the World Title, Great match.

Flair came out of the shower and was confronted by Mr Kennedy. He challenged Ric Flair to a match. Shawn came in and Kennedy left. HHH and Batista came in. They all said the best man will win the Rumble. A HHH/Batista tease for later on. Shawn was awesome in this segment.

Maria came out for the kiss cam, Ashley then came out and asked Maria if she wanted to be in Playboy. Santino came out and said NO on Maria's behalf. Santino cut another AWESOME promo which got him cheered.

Santino brought out Big Dick Johnston, Ashley then beat him with a rubber chicken.

5 STAR Wrestlemania commerical aired with Kelly Kelly as a lifeguard.

4. Orton beat Hardy clean. No idea where anchor went. Hardy went for the twist of fate and Orton pinned him clean with the RKO. People are pissed.
