14th annual WWE Royal Rumble Party

Congratulations to James Stockard and Stella Mismas as they were the big winners at Sunday night's 14th annual Girod Royal Rumble party. Both had wrestler Roman Reigns who was the 19th entrant and the last man standing in a 30-man over the top rope battle royal. Stockard had #19 in the M&M Division and Mismas had picked #19 in the Hello Kitty Division.

Having been a big winner in 2011, Mismas joins Marc Iacianci (2002, 2011) and George McBride (2005, 2007) as two-time winners.

The Match

After Lilian Garcia announced the Rumble rules, entry #1 was revealed as ... The Miz, who was met by indifference. Entry #2 was revealed as ... R-Truth. The crowd was less-than-impressed by WWE's selection to start the Rumble. After Truth rapped and shouted "What's Up?" over and over, Miz dramatically removed his shades and the bell sounded. Basic opening exchange, then 1:30 expired to bring out Bubba Ray Dudley as #3. Huge pop for the recent Bully Ray, who emerged in his Bubba Dudley gear, complete with glasses, camo, and boots.
