In the past 3 weeks I have watched every Rumble match (I need for baseball to start up) and I have to say the worst one was 2011. So boring with so much down time, if it had 30 entrants than maybe this would of been 2010 but in my opinion 2011 was the worst Rumble no question.
BTW, Last year wasn't great but certainly not the worst.

2002 getting votes surprises me. I've only seen it once and it was a few years ago, but I remember really enjoying it. Mr Perfect looked really good in it.

2012 was very disappointing in terms of entrants. Michael Cole, Ricardo Rodriguez, Justin Gabriel, Primo, Santino Marella, Mick Foley, Road Dogg, Epico, Jerry Lawler, Ezekiel Jackson, Jinder Mahal, The Great Khali, Hunico, Booker T, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Kharma, Road Dogg, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, David Otunga all had a 0% chance of winning. When 2/3rds of the entrants are people who are guaranteed not to win, that makes for a very weak Rumble. Agreed. Putting the three announcers in was awful. Also there was no reason not to have Cena & Kane in the Rumble. And Big Show entering #30? Soooo disappointing.

I'm also surprised at 2002 gettin votes, did people forget the maven/undertaker elimination? Return of mr perfect , the rumble had some good spots, certainly not the worst.

1995 Rumble was absolute dog dump. 95 rumble for me too. HBK and Bulldog carried the ENTIRE match.the booking of Owen was mind boggling........and Razor should also have been included in this talent starved affair.

1995
Mantaur, Well Dunn, Aldo Montoya, Kwang, Men on a Mission, over the hill Dick Murdoch, etc., etc., etc. It doesn't get any worse than that.

I've only seen as far back as '99 but for me nothing will ever be as bad as 2002. I know it gets a lot of love and I'll never really understand why. I guess it's because Mr. Perfect returned. Which was great and all but the rest of the Rumble match was pretty awful. They saved all of the star power for the end and even then, Big Show, Kane, RVD and Booker T were eliminated within minutes. The ring barely filled up and there was a lot of one-on-one situations or moments where only one superstar was waiting. There was just no excitement which is a shame because there was a lot of main event/upper card star power. It just didn't seem well paced or spread out.

I can't believe only one person has mentioned '97. Just horrible. Half the wrestlers in it were from AAA and so you knew they weren't going to win. Then Mil Mascaras eliminates himself.
Plus the ending with Bret and Austin was so stupid. It did put awesome heat on their feud though.

If we were going by worst rumble winners, 1992 would get my vote. A hugely stacked rumble card and the worst wrestler in the match won it . I'm not a huge Ric Flair fan, but I think this statement makes you certifiable insane. I realize now why some of your posts bother me - I will leave you alone and wish you the best in your treatment. As for the worst Rumble, I have no idea. Most are good, some are bland. I do remember Dory Funk being in one, he seemed like he was 100 years old. My friend thought he was a vampire. We kept hoping for him to be eliminated, so I will say that was my least favorite Rumble. Maybe 1999. That really pissed me off, since Vince was out of the ring most of the time. Hacksaw Duggan won in 1988. Any match Hacksaw wins, or is in, is bad. 94 had a lame ending. Sheamus winning last year was pretty dull to me. And nobody can vote for 2004. If you check the history books, IT NEVER HAPPENED!

Watched some of 1989 rumble last nite, was great from the start with demolition, Andre and perfect!
1995 in my opinion is not that bad, I've seen it a hundred times now, the star power isn't great but it reflects the roster at the time. I loved hbk and bulldogs performances!!
1997 was abit naff, with the randomness of the Mexicans but Vince did this because they would get a good reaction because they were in San Antonio. Loved stone colds performance though!!
1999 was again not great but was more solid toward the end. Even though the end was crap

I found last year's very underwhelming and predictable. Does WWE expect people to not suspect Booker would be in the Rumble? He was sitting out there with no pants on.
Other than that I can't really remember. Really only the great moments stick out in my mind. I do remember really liking the 1998 and 2001 Rumbles a lot.

Probably because earlier in the year I predicted that Sheamus would win the Rumble and beat Mark Henry for the title at Wrestlemania. Then Henry got hurt and plans were tweaked, but I figured the plans for Sheamus were still on track.
