[2008-01-28-WWF-Royal Rumble-John Cena vs Umaga (Last Man Standing)

[Wahoos Leg]

This is a fantastic match. I know plenty of people, especially those who are wrestlers themselves, who hold up the Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit match from the 2003 Rumble as not only the best non-Rumble match ever, but one of the best wrestling matches ever. If Angle-Benoit is the wrestling equivalent of a symphony, this is the equivalent of a blockbuster action movie. Is one better than the other? That’s really in the eye of the beholder, as the two products are so different that it’s difficult to compare them outside of the shared setting of a WWE ring.

You can read my full review of this match, over on my website as part of the 365 Wrestling project.

Wrong year, bruh.  Umaga and Cena's match was at the 2007 Royal Rumble. They were both in the actual Rumble match in 2008, which Cena actually won.
