Royal Rumbles in the 90s made some of the biggest names....Yoko, HBK, Nash, Austin & Rock. Rock never won one in the 90s but his showing in 98 was an indicator that he was going places fast...Ditto for Nash in 94. It seemed to mean more...Flair winning the title in 92 too. The RRs of the 2000s felt like they were being won by established guys.....Austin, HHH, Lesnar, Orton, Undertaker, Cena etc. Now you had Benoit, Rey and Batista in there too getting their "being made" moments but I still feel the event was more important in the 90s. Just my two cents.... Great points. I'd say when it comes to importance, the 90s & 2000s felt very important & at a WM level. I'd say the same for 2010s & 2020s as well. The 90s had many stars who became HUGE after winning the Rumble...HBK & Austin really took off soon after. The 2000s had guys who were already World Champions winning the thing, but it still felt great to see top stars finally win the Rumble such as Taker,HHH,Cena,Orton etc.

I’ll go 90’s on this one, mainly because my interest was waining in the early 2000’s. Plus the 90’s had the 92 edition included so beats every decade/ year going in my book! I loved both decades, but 92 was just special.
