I’ve done “worst royal rumbles” but now it’s time for the best ones! With the PPV coming up it just reminds me of how great it really is & it’s easily one of the funnest things in wrestling.
1998
2000
2001
2002
2004
2003
1992
2008
1997
2007
That’s my 10 best in no order and my honourable mentions goes to 2009,2010, 2017,2018, 2020.

Every Rumble from 2000 to 2008 is money. 09 & 10 were pretty decent in their own right. Anything from 2011 to 2016 sucks big ones.

I enjoy 1992, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2010, 2014, 2016, 2018 mens and womens, 2019 mens and womens, 2020.
Most the ones in the 90s are slow and boring to me. 1998 pisses me off.

1992 above everything. A solid card and Heenan was amazing.

Maybe I'm bias being Scottish, but 2020 is my favourite of all time. Thought it was booked amazingly, and they brought Drew out to put an end to Brocks' domination at the perfect time, JUST as the novelty was starting to wear off.

Recently I LOVED 2018 and I really liked 2020. Both super refreshing in a 2010s era of pretty forgettable to downright horrible Rumble matches. 2018 really blindsided me and might be my second favorite Rumble ever. I think the Brock run in 2020 is sort of eye-rolling on paper but WWE actually did a great job with the story and the second half of the match is really, really good.
I think 1997 is awfully underrated and a ton of fun.
1992, 2004, 2007, 2008 are probably my other favorites. 1992 is just a perfect representation of that era of wrestling and is sort of a send-off for the golden era. 2004 is just very well done. 2007 is good throughout but the last 10 minutes or so is really incredible. 2008 to me might be a textbook Royal Rumble match.
You can't go wrong with any of the Rumble matches from 2000 to 2010. I think they are all very good. 2009 is probably the worst in that group but WWE had a hell of a run at good Royal Rumbles in the 2000s.
Final answers in order:
1. 2008
2. 2018
3. 1992
4. 2007
5. 2004
Side note: I really do not understand the love for the 2001 Royal Rumble. I just watched it again the other night and can hardly get through the first half. The closing moments are electric but thats not enough for me to say I enjoy it. I wouldn't even put it on my top 10 Rumble matches and I just do not see how it could ever be #1.

Like others have mentioned, the Rumbles during the 2000's were great. 2000 - 2009 are Rumbles i can always go back and enjoy watching.
My personal favourite is the 2007 Rumble. I love Rumble surprises, so with this match having none, the booking & wrestling itself made up for it.

When you talk about the best look no further than this... That will always be the best Royal Rumble. You can't go wrong with Ric Flair. He is the greatest wrestler of all time. |

2001 is my all time favourite. As said, any from 2000-2010 is good. '07 has one of the greatest endings. The one Rumble match I don't enjoy is 1999, but the early ones are at times rough to watch whilst still being fun to watch if that makes sense.
Don't even talk to me about the 40 man Rumble and Del Rio winning though!

2010, with Punk cutting promos, while eliminating people - until HHH rocked up and ruined it.

Great success = profits. Mediocre success still = profits.
