2008 Royal Rumble Match: Christian Cage and Bradley Jay started at 1 and 2. Vito was the lucky man to get #30. In the end, it was ECW Television Champion CM Punk (Entry #6), who won it all, last eliminating Sonny Siaki from Raw. Oddly enough this is also Punk's one year anniversary with the ECW Television Championship, and he now has the chance to get some more gold at WrestleMania. In addition, ECW has now won the Rumble 2 years in a row. This is also the first time a heel has won the Rumble since Vince McMahon in 1999. ***1/4, 82% Overall

Some bad news though. Nick Dinsmore broke his leg and will be out for 7 months. Looks like Rob Conway is gonna be working solo for awhile.
