I know that I plug my stuff a lot but I figure that it does lead to some good conversation, so no harm right? My latest thing I had to do for spam is the Top 5 Royal Rumble Matches. Not the PPV itself, but just the Royal Rumble match. Here is my list spam.com/wrestling/the-411-wrestling-top-5-top-5-royal-rumble-matches/What are your favorite Rumble matches? |

This is completely off topic, but seeing Del Rio in your sig instead of Paige is a total let down. You were supposed to be my go to paige pic guy, dammit. YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE
This is also kinda unrelated, but on the topic of good/bad royal rumbles. The 2001 (I think. It was the one where Triple H beat up Austin) rumble was HORRIBLE. There was like, 3 people in there who you legitimately thought would win, with the rest basically consisting of jobbers or mid carders that were blatantly obvious to not headline mania.

Goes from being pissed about having paige on top of her, to touching paiges tits, licking her and spanking her all in the same minute. ing weird) |

Read the article earlier and I could pretty much agree with your list. I may replace 2010 with 2003. It was predictable that Lesnar would win, but even so there were many great moments. HBK and Jericho at the beginning. The Hardys coming face to face. Dreamer caning everyone. Edge and Christian facing off. Strong showing from a rookie Batista. Undertaker returning. Lesnar winning.

I think you nailed 1 and 2 and the rest is just largely splitting hairs imo. I would love to see a scenario where the title is on the line again in the actual Rumble match. If you had a babyface champion right now, so Cena, it would have made sense to make him actually defend the title in the Rumble by way of the Authority. At which point, you guarantee the winner gets a fast pass to Mania, and then you can create interest in your February PPV by deciding the number one contender.

I can't decide an order, but I'd agree with 1992, 2007, and anything between 2001-2004

2001 was the best Rumble ever and nothing else even comes close, IMO.

No Rumble will ever top '92.

I'm a big fan of the 2008 and 2009 Rumbles. 2008 in MSG had an amazing atmosphere, Cena's return was brilliant, loved the beginning with Taker & HBK (& Santino for that matter)
The 2009 Rumble is the one I've watched the most. Seen this one about 15 times or so and it's still very entertaining. Good amount of high-end superstars and all in all fun to watch.

my favourite Rumbles are (in no order)
RR 92-Star studded greatness......
RR 94- legit didn't know who was gonna win....also strange to think Diesels dominance was to go to Ludvig Borga originally
RR 96- was rooting for HBK huge and marked when he won.
RR 97-was already in Austin's corner at this stage.....loved how he won
RR 98- Austin winning was a given but man oh man did the crowd ever want it BADLY. owens treatment was confusing as HELL here though.....
RR 99- Loved Austin's return in the ambulance....King comforting an ever panicky Vince on commentary and several other moments
RR 01- So many great moments......Vince really f8cked up by not capitalising on Kanes performance here(like he actually did do with Nash in 94)
RR 04- so many potential winners and exciting storylines built here. marked like crazy when Benoit won.
RR 07- that final exchange between UT and HBK was riveting....I was genuinely torn over who I wanted to win.
95,02,03 a lot of the others were TERRIBLY predictable. HHH winning 2002 was a crime considering Austin was the 100% clear crowd favourite..... 2009 was also f8cking dreadful.

Haven't seen many Rumble matches, but out of the ones I have seen, 2007 and 2005 would have to be my favorites.

94 - Legit awesome from start to finish.
92 - Heenan's commentary alone makes it must-see.
99 - Even though I never liked Austin's superman booking, it was one hell of a talented pool of guys in this rumble.
01 - Need I say?
02 - Predictable yes, but so much fun. Hennig's performance makes this a big favorite of mine, and there are some other amazing moments like Maven eliminating Undertaker.
Also really enjoy: 91, 93 and 96.
Alot of the Rumbles from around 2005 up until 2014 have all blended together and apart from the odd thing none of them stand out.

The main things that stick out from the Rumbles of the last ten years would be the Undertaker/HBK ending to 2007 and them starting 2008. Also, Shawn's desperate performance in 2010 was amazing, along with CM Punk cutting promos and dominating the start. That's about it that I can remember though. |

For me it was the 1989 Rumble, when Ax and Smash were 1 and 2. They started fighting and I was in total shock as a kid.

I think since around 2005, the main things that have stood out to me have been: - Cena's return - Undertaker/Shawn in 2007 - Undertaker/Shawn in 2008 - Diesel in 2011 - Jericho in whatever year it was (12 or 13) - Bob Holly accidentally gets eliminated and no one sees it. - Batista is booed. |

Royal Rumble 2000 was always my favourite. The Rock was and always will be my guy, so I always thought as a young kid that was the best rumble because he won it, guess that never went away! 2004 was awesome purely because of the Undertaker gong. That crap had me going nuts. Loved that storyline, some great RR matches over the years.

Can't beat 2000 and 2001s editions, so much action and great drama.

1992
2000
2003
2007 (All due to HBK and Taker)
Edit: 01 and 02 slipped my mind but they are great.

Also, Shawn's desperate performance in 2010 was amazing, along with CM Punk cutting promos and dominating the start. That's about it that I can remember though. Besides the fact they totally dropped the ball with it at the end, I think the 2014 Royal Rumble was actually a pretty good match. The Shield dominated, Punk almost went the distance, Sheamus had a solid return, a few nice performances from some undercard guys like Cody, and Kofi's annual spot was pretty cool. The crowd was very into it up until the end. I just don't know what the they were thinking with Batista... My only problem with 2010 is that the ring was pretty barren for the most part. Guys would come in and get tossed out way too quickly. Punk, Shawn, and Edge were definitely the highlights of the match. As for my favorite Rumble matches, I would pick these: Royal Rumble 2001 Royal Rumble 2004 Royal Rumble 1992 Royal Rumble 2007 Royal Rumble 1998 (First Rumble I ever got to watch live, and The Three Faces of Foley remains as one of my favorite Rumble moments) |
