I thought the undercard was passable, admittedly the Rumble undercard used to be so much stronger (Angle vs HHH and Jericho/Benoit ladder match on one card..!) but it'll do.
I really enjoyed the Rumble itself. It was booked totally differently from recent rumbles - the big names were well spread, most of the eliminations were fairly good (I didn't really enjoy Khali's dominance, I'd rather that had been Kane, or Show - especially with Kane's record in Rumbles), and the final confrontation between HBK and 'Taker was amazing. It's been a long time since we had a long tussle at the end between 2 wrestlers for the Rumble, these days they end it too quickly - so that was good. I also enjoyed JBL and King's chemistry throughout the Rumble - I would have ditched Cole for JR, but you can't win 'em all.
On a non-related topic, JBL impresses me more and more on commentary. He's the perfect blend of heel and realism - I like how he encourages heel tactics (As in his career) as the best way to get forward, but commends stars that deserve it - like HBK and Taker.

I agree, the undercard was pretty Meh.. but then again, I think this is the only PPV which can get away with it. Since everyone tunes in to see the Rumble match.
I quite liked the way in which the Cena/Umaga match ended. Something I'd not seen before, with Umaga destroying the ring in order to try an beat Cena. A choke was the best way to go to have Umaga beat. Only question now is.. where does Umaga go from here??
The Rumble match was pretty sweet. It was funny to watch Khali in there though, since he didn't have a clue what he was doing. Everyone else was calling the match. All lining up one by one to beat head choped. It was also funny to see Shawn Michaels tell Khali what to do. Not sure if anyone else saw it but he was screaming at him to just pose to the cameras to kill some time.
I was happy to see the Undertaker win the match. It was probably the only thing left off his resume. Also finally a guy who enteres at number 30 has won the Rumble match!! Only took 20 years!!
It was nice to see the show of respect between Taker and Shawn at the end of the match. You could see it in their eyes.
I too enjoyed JBL and Kings chemistry. When I first saw they were both going to be on commentry I was kinda dreading it, but they were both good. And I don't mind Michael Cole anyway, so I was happy with him calling the match.
Everyone was talking so highly of Test, including the announcers, so why did he get squashed? Seems weird.
