Royal Rumble Sold Out!

The Royal Rumble pay-per-view set for January 27 at Madison Square Garden sold out today in just under five hours, according to Ticketmaster.com. The event features Randy Orton defending his W.W.E. Championship against W.W.E. Intercontinental Champion, Jeff Hardy. To the best of my knowledge the ICC title will not be up for grabs. Tickets went on sale this morning at 10 a.m. and predictably sold out quick. The show kind of has two main events in that the Royal Rumble match itself is quite a spectacle. Thirty men are signed up with two starting out in the ring together. Every minute and a half thereafter another man enters. The winner is the last man standing after the other 29 wrestlers have been thrown over the top rope and to the arena floor.

Don't forget that Monday Night Raw is being taped tonight in Greensboro, North Carolina. Triple H (I hate it when people call him "Trips") will face Ric Flair. Of course, from this point on, Flair's career ends if he loses.

Meanwhile, W.W.E. Champ Randy Orton will team up with John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL) against W.W.E. Intercontinental Champ Jeff Hardy and Chris"Y2J"Jericho.

By the way, Hustler Magazine will be featuring the late Nancy Benoit in an upcoming magazine. Nancy Benoit, who went by the name "Woman" throughout her career, posed nude for some pictures but never gave consent to have them publicized. This is just sleazy to me that Hustler would do this! Sadly, though, people will buy it.
