WWE's 25th anniversary of the Royal Rumble is over and done, but the talking and analysis has just begun.  You should be thanking your lucky stars for the incomparable forces of nature that are Big Nasty and B/R Video, as we bring you one-of-a-kind reactions from all angles. 

The Royal Rumble pay-per-view, and the match itself, isn't always about the man who won the titular battle royal. A host of stars, both young and old, can become reinforced and/or reinvigorated through the high-profile pay-per-view—and that is exactly what was seen at Sunday's pay-per-view. 

How did up-and-coming stars like Dolph Ziggler, Wade Barrett and Cody Rhodes fare in this year's Royal Rumble? Did they overachieve as expected, or were they surprising duds? 

The Royal Rumble is always about the surprise, so what kind of surprise entrants did the WWE have in store for us this year? With WWE Legends house set to debut on WWE Network, it's possible that names like Dusty Rhodes, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, and even Roddy Piper surfaced. 

Meanwhile on the under card, did Drew McIntyre finally break out of his funk, or did funk reveal itself to be his biggest problem yet? 

All this analysis and so much more comes to you and your laptop as Big Nasty and B/R video run down the winners and losers of the 2012 Royal Rumble.
