A Live Report from the Royal Rumble

Thanks to reader Matt R. for sending in the following report.

I attended the Royal Rumble last night and the crowd was hot. Madison Square Garden fans always bring it! Here are some quick notes:

Biggest pops:
1. Triple H (by far)
2. Mick Foley
3. Jeff Hardy
4. John Cena
5. Edge (the crowd was almost completely behind him during match with Rey Mysterio)

Most heat:
1. Randy Orton
2. John Cena, during face-off with Triple H (lots of "Cena sucks!" chants)
3. JBL
4. MVP
5. Big Daddy V

There were signs everywhere for next weekend's UFC 81 event. It marks the debut of former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar.
