Previously we looked at the worst rated and worst ranked WrestleMania events of all time, so lets do it again only this time we'll look at the worst Royal Rumble PPVs. The Rumble is a fan favourite, the match itself has given WWF / WWE fans countless memorable moments and it's helped launch a ton of main event careers, but some of the events have been a little underwhelming. From the predictability of the 1996 Royal Rumble (along with the lack of talent in rumble match itself) to the "overbooked" 1999 Royal Rumble that was focused on Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon, theres a few Rumble events that haven't lived up to fan expectations.
This video uses cagematch's rating system to determine the worst WWF Royal Rumble event of all time. - Sport
Correction! Rey entered at number 2, not number 1 (2006)
I hope you see this. Just wanted to say I've been a subscriber for years now. Well before "Reliving the War" and I just wanted to say, thanks for acknowledging us older fans. Don't forget us.
lesnar also didn't face reigns at mania 30 either ;) 18:33
I also got that mixed up not to long ago arguing with my brother. 1 or 2 it's semantics he went bell to bell is all we need to know.
It really does not matter 1 and 2 were in the ring at the same time But thanks for the correction
Pretty much the same thing since the first guy is standing in the ring waiting.
The reason why they closed the show with angle vs henry was due to the post match angle where the undertaker appears and breaks the ring.
Yeah, there's no "mystery" about it, made more sense too unlike their placement of the Undertaker/Ortons casket match from No Mercy 3 months earlier.
The 90' Royal Rumble was booked for 1 thing only, The Confrontation between Hogan and The Warrior. That moment was epic.
exactly
Hogan vs Warrior is Wrestling's equivalent especially at that time of Batman vs Superman
42yr old me cringes but 10yr old me lost his mind💯
@@frankiesosa1766 43 year old me agrees.
And Ventura’s commentary “Hogan and The Warrior one on one” was brilliant.
When OSW referenced the 1997 Royal Rumble match as "the one with the day laborers." 🤣
Rumble 89, 90 and 91 will always hold a special place in my heart. I rented them on VHS so many times as a kid.
Same here as I became a WWF fan in 1989 and would watch every show I could at the time. Every show was great in my opinion back then!!
I was at Rumble 91 and am on the video ringside.
Same, I ended up buying their 91 tape when they went out of business I watched it so much. Still have it
As a kid in the early 2000's and a huge Hogan fanboy, I also rented the '91 Rumble on video tape. I don't remember the under card, but between the World title and Royal Rumble match, it is a pretty great show. I've also seen the '89 match online and I think it's one of the better Rumble matches.
The 2006 Rumble ended with the WHC match because after it was over Undertaker came out and destroyed the ring.
Yeah the undertaker came out did his spooky stuff to break the ring to set up for the no way out main event,between kurt angle and the undertaker in a awesome match one month after the 06 royal rumble.
I cannot believe the 1995 rumble didn't make the list!
Huh? It's surely the worst. Cagematch truly are deluded.
Mantaur should have won that one. He was born to be the 1995 champ.
i was thinking the same thing, it was not a good show
The overall show was good. Diesel vs Bret, Razor vs Jarrett and the tag title match.
Can’t be the worst Bret vs diesel was dope af
Hard disagree on the 1990 Rumble. That's my favorite Rumble from the Hogan era. Hard to explain to new fans how exciting it was to see Hogan and Warrior go at each other for the first time during the Rumble.
And yeah, the Hogan winning might seem predictable.. but the first two Rumbles were won by Duggan and Big John Studd, midcarders, so you really didn't know who was gonna win. It's not like today where you know a main eventer is gonna win it.
Well originally Perfect was supposed to win from Number 30 but Hogan politiced his way into the win
1990 was a great year. The buildup to Hogan and Warrior at Wrestlemania 6 is one of the best programs ever.
The rumble match wasn't the problem, but the card itself wasn't all that good.
@@RyoUrawa777Perfect winning the Rumble to beat Hogan at Wrestlemania 6 does feel as a insult
@@lexkanyima2195 the WrestleMania match stipulation didn't start until 93
The 1990 Royal Rumble is what introduced me to Professional Wrestling. I was 4 yrs old, my uncle introduced it to me and ive been a fan ever since, 33 yrs. I have to say the 1990 Rumble holds a dear place in my heart, always. For so many reasons and I have watched it many of times...
The 1995 Rumble should have been on this list.
I mean come on 1 minute between entrants?
Yeah I assumed it'd be number 1 after seeing the thumbnail lol. I'm totally shocked
18 of the 30 wrestlers were tag teams as well
'95 was trash. They tried to make a big deal of Shawn going post to post but neglect to call attention to the fact that it was half the time as usual. They also literally ran out of guys. Spots came with nobody entering. Not the "oh he got jumped in the back" kind of thing, either. Just blank spots without explanation.
While I can understand people not liking the 1995 Royal Rumble match (trust me, I share that sentiment), I feel like it’s just as important to look at the show it comes from as a whole.
Now, if this were a list of what I felt were the “Top 10 Worst Royal Rumble PPVs”, 1995 would definitely be on there.
The show has a bright spot that doesn’t shine as bright as I think most people were hoping for: Diesel and Bret Hart put on a banger of a WWF title match that’s unfortunately hampered by two things: One is the length of the match being much longer than anyone anticipated. The other is poor officiating, which overseeing the interference and use of weapons could have led to a dirty pinfall. But it instead leads to a disappointing No Contest finish when you could have saved everything for after Bret tapped out Diesel with his Sharpshooter. I feel like the finish of this match would have been a lot better if it were a post-match brawl instead of a catalyst for a No Contest.
The show has three major duds, and the Rumble match is one of them. It’s earned its reputation as the original black sheep of Royal Rumble matches. I think the main reason the intervals are only one minute and why HBK and Bulldog are both the first two men in and the last two left, is solely because of a creative dry spell the WWF was going through. A dry spell that would last until Vince Russo was hired by the company. Also, having Pamela Anderson walk you down to ring for your WWF title match at WrestleMania wasn’t something I’d consider a bonus for winning. I won't deny the historical significance of Shawn Michaels entering at #1 and going on to win the whole thing, but other than that, there's no reason to watch this match unless you want to see HBK dangling off the ring apron with one foot touching the ground, while "Rule Britannia" blares through the PA system.
The second big dud is a clunker of a match between Undertaker and IRS (Taker would feud with Ted DiBiase’s Million Dollar Corporation for far too long after this PPV AND he would lose his trademark urn to Kama). Some druids come in and attack the Undertaker, which is probably the worst and least sensical part of the entire bout.
As for the third dud, it’s a tag team title match to crown new champions, against two teams made up of singles wrestlers that I don’t think anyone wanted to see hold the belts. That just showed you how completely thin the roster in WWF was at that time: Bob Holly and The Kid had to form a makeshift team just to have something to do, and they ended up winning.
And as for the IC Title match between Jeff Jarrett and Razor Ramon, there was no reason why this match needed to be restarted. The in-ring work is very solid, as in it’s better than what you would expect from Jeff and just as good as you’d expect from Ramon, but the angles that kept undercutting it were just intrusive.
All that put together makes for a not-very-good show highlighted by a Rumble match that’s far from worth anything, let alone your time. It may not be the worst thing on the 1995 Royal Rumble PPV, but it is one of the worst Rumble matches ever. Or...it would have been, before 2014 happened.
TLDR: *Agreed, Mad Shogun.*
Bret Bs diesel saves it
The difference between royal rumble 2022 and 2023 really shows that WWE still has stars who can make a ppv look big just through their presence if given good storylines to work.
Cody being #30 was dumb
@@pleaseshutup7053 yes I think it would have been better if they wouldn't have announced his participation in advance.
WWE hasn’t produced any stars for 20 years
@@abhyanshsharma8019 that’s just it they didn’t announce it Cody said it. And anyway everyone knew he was coming back so what was the reason why they tried to make it a surprise
WWE don't have stars, only nostalgia acts
Jericho absolutely should have won the 2012 Rumble. I'll never forget his entrance and how loud the crowd was. He faced Punk at Mainia anyway, so it wouldn't have changed anything really.
The thing was the dirt sheets spoiled the match saying Jericho won the Rumble hours before it aired so it was changed to Sheamus winning with Jericho runner-up. Had they gone with the original, it was Jericho winning with Sheamus runner-up.
@@JosephTSenaso why it felt a insult
@@lexkanyima2195 Huh?
@@JosephTSena by Jericho no winning it
I wouldn't put the 1990 Rumble in here. For me that Rumble was very special because it was the built-up to The Ultimate Challenge between Hogan and Warrior at WM 6. And that one is still one of my personal Highlights, since I became a Wrestling Fanatic in 1989.
Of course both, that Rumble and WM 6 were my first ppv's ever to watch, so they will always be something special for me personally.
I love the '90 Royal Rumble. It was the match that made me fall in love with wrestling.
How was 1995 rumble not mentioned it only lasted 38 minutes and had a lackluster roster
The ending would be the only reason I can think of.
The right guy won that’s why
Because Pamela Anderson was at her peak
So, he uses a list based on other people's reviews and y'all act like he's the one who made it? It's not mentioned because it wasn't on the list and it's not HIS list.
Seriously was thinking the same thing. That was probably the least lackluster rumble match ever as the lack of talent was more noticeable here than in 1996.
yes those early Rumbles were very different, with no world title matches. i actually recorded the very first one when it happened and still have it on tape. it was quite a varied show with Dino Bravo's weight lifting challenge, and the Hogan-Andre signing.
It was a test
It was very much akin to the Saturday Night Main Event specials.
No way should Royal Rumble 99 be on this list. Vince winning as well was so funny 😂😂😂😂😂
We got a fun cage match out of it, with Vince and Austin
@Alexander The Great exactly bro the good old days💯👊🏾
@@adrianwalters2318 I’ll say it. The WWF was never the same, after Russo left. It was a much better show
@Alexander The Great I don't know when he left but if it was around the same time Stone Cold beat The Rock at Wrestlemania 18 and turnt heel then I totally agree with you💯
I immediately recognized that promotional image of Shawn from the Royal Rumble Mega Drive game where it was his digitized portrait.
it was in Wrestlemania: the Arcade Game too !
@@TheLarryburns84Just looked it up and I was actually thinking of Wrestlemania, guess the topic off the video threw me off haha. He is wearing the same outfit in the Acclaim game but the pose is different.
congrats
I was at Royal Rumble '99, it was a GREAT show! I have no idea what people are talking about with that show, it was at peak WWE time. I definitely fit the description of the fans you were talking about. I think I fit the demographic that you laid out of people that watched during the golden era choosing different entries, because yeah I was in 8th grade I remember when Royal Rumble '99 was on and that was probably my peak fandom to be honest, I would bet it's a lot of other people's as well. I feel like a lot of people checked out right around the end of the invasion storyline too. I think I was in Junior year of High School and too busy focusing on working and girls, so I didn't really have time for wrestling anymore. Around the same time I more or less stopped playing games on a regular basis too.
To be fair a live experience often makes up for what would be a dreary viewing from home. Glad you enjoyed though! Did ya get the chance to see any other ppvs in person from WCW, WWF or even ECW at the time?
Yes, but it defeated the whole purpose of the Rumble. Vince won it only to concede it the next night. Have Austin win it at least.
Rumble match itself was worst Rumble ever, too many dead spots, clear Russo booking. Lame to have Vince and Austin leave for majority of match only to come back at end. I remember Kane got run off by insane asylum guys with nobody left in the ring…was too many times a guy was left in ring alone with nobody to fight, IMHO, really boring Rumble match, but lead up to St. Valentine’s Day Massacre the next month. Survivor Series 1998 was Russo’s high point, this Rumble began my least favorite year of Monday Night Raw until Russo left.
It was a fun show.
@@therealangelalexander1858 you’re right, I will likely have a bias cause I was there. You’re very right! Sounds like you were around the same age for the time I’m referring to. I actually saw Wrestlemania XII, multiple Rae’s and Smackdown’s and Wrestlemania 2000. Honestly nothing stands out for the tv events except that I was at the smack down that Rikishi admitted “I did it for the rock” haha…
If you go back and watch the 1988 Royal rumble, watch the woman in the front row with the white top and long black perm. She goes ballistic a whole bunch of times waving her arms and just jumping around everywhere! That's what I remember the most about that rumble.
Please tell me more about her. How hot was she?
Never thought 96 got enough love. Yeah, there were roster issues (which were more prevalent in 95, IMO), but with the stuff with Goldust and Razor, Sunny being presented in a way that would lead to the rise of the Divas in WWF, Vader’s debut and dominance in the Rumble, plus the shades of grey in Diesel’s character development (not to mention him flipping off Taker at the end of the night), there were a lot of seeds planted here for what ended up turning into the Attitude Era. People get hung up on the star power issue, but once you look past that, I think this show has a lot more meat on the bone than a lot of Rumbles when you get down to storylines and intrigue.
In 1996 was more struggling
I’m biased because I was in attendance for 96, and had a blast.
Man. The 2010s were a rough time
The decade started with matches being stopped because of accidental bleeding. It was obvious from the start that it wouldn't be a good decade for the WWE.
ok
You can’t mention the 90 rumble without mentioning the Hogan Warrior confrontation. That was the point of the whole show
yea you can
99 Royal Rumble should be on the other list (10 greatest ones). That was a shocker to see it on the worst. The story lines that were built before and after it were what made the attitude era!!
The list was about the ppv itself not what comes after or what came before. Secondly the 1999 Rumble match completely brutalizes any sense of logics as you can obviously just come and go in the match as you please and sit out a major part of the match if you please. That'd be like someone taking the ball and run out of the arena with it during a World Cup football match. The other players get another ball, the player who left is replaced and the carries on. Only for the lost player to return with 3 mins, run in with the ball he took with him and kick it into the net while other 22 players are busy with the actual match ball and still have the goal scored by the returning player count. Or for a boxer to refuse to enter the ring for the first 11 rounds only to run in with 30 secs left of the 12th round and smack his opponent in the face when he was looking away and win the match.
@@rw8185 I think he got away with it because Vince was the boss. He also put a bounty on Austin twice in the RR (1998/1999)
@@kevinshirley9344 I get the storyline, it's just that I guess some fans felt they took it too far. Of course wrestling is fiction in a fictional setting with fictional characters, but there are still boundaries for what fans will accept before the feeling of "nothing is sacred" takes over. Things need an explanation or you will quite easily start turning people off.
@@rw8185 True... I always wished that they made Main title belt match dependent on a king of the ring style tournament instead of the belt being put up for anyone during any week as it its not a sacred title anymore. That belt (or all of them) needs to be something that is hard to get and requires elimination bracket style matches. Example...why is wrestlemania main event even sacred anymore when the title can be lost the next night on raw?... what is the point of the main event then?
Is it safe to assume that Survior Series and SummerSlam will be covered next?
hopefully
@@Black-Circle I'd like to see a best of list for all of these too using same crieteria.
That classic early 90’s Rumble music is pure nostalgia!
no its not
19:01 you know us Brother. You know your core audience and we absolutely love that about this channel
I actually liked the 1990 Royal Rumble, the roster showed the best of the Golden Age, star power like Hogan, Savage, Andre, Perfect, Dibiase, Piper, Warrior, Rhodes, etc. The Hogan and Warrior confrontation was epic and still gives me chills when I go back and watch that moment. The Rumble was still new and random enough where a predictable winner wasn't foreseen (this started in 1991).
I was also extremely surprised that 1995 wasn't on this list. Although the story of Michaels starting at #1 and going all the way to the end was good, the roster was worse then paper thin. It was the dirt worst of the New Generation with 1 minutes intervals to hide the lack of star power. That didn't even work. Odd how the top single wrestlers were missing and going for the tag titles while all the lower tier tag teams littered the Rumble. 1995 should have been on this list, not 1990.
I loved Ricardo Rodriguez's spot in 2012, thought it was one of the funniest bits I have ever seen in the match with he crappy car he came out in, the white gear he wore and how he copied Alberto's mannerisms, along with how the crowd were chanting his name.
A chat GPT Rumble.....that I'd like to see
I imagine that we'll see "Real" Chat GPT Rumbles in WWE soon 😆

And he faced taker at wm22
@@pleaseshutup7053 ik I never realized it until now
Worst Rumble for me was 1995
The Royal Rumble was always fun because you knew how close you were to Wrestlemania
I honestly love the 2012 Rumble match. The whole thing has such a zany atmosphere to it. It feels less like a wrestling match and more like a big party where everyone gets a moment in the spotlight. Incredibly silly but also really fun and memorable with all the legends spots and Ricardo in his junker car.
The complaint is that it didn't matter with Cena sure to challenge The Rock.
What an odd complaint.
It's worth noting that 2012 was before the advent of the WWE network. Customers payed a lot of money for a single viewing of this show on PPV. Many of those fans felt gipped about the lackluster show, especially after the result of that Rumble match. At that point in time, Sheamus had been the most underwhelming winner since Vince in 1999.
Sheamus deserves way more respect.
Do the best rated RR and WMs. Great vid.
The 1996 Royal Rumble was the first wrestling event I ever watched, so its always gonna hold a special place in my heart. However, I can definitely agree with others criticism of the PPV as a whole. I still think that the Razor/Goldust match is underrated and the rumble match itself was entertaining, despite the limited active roster.
It was unusual that razor Ramon was one of a few wrestlers to never a be an entrant in any rumble
As a kid I got big into wrestling in late 95, Rumble 96 was the first event I watched as it happened and the 90 Rumble was the first tape I rented at the local video store when I saw they had WWF tapes. So to see them as the first two on the list is... well, honestly makes me glad they're only the first two and deeper into the video. 😆
RR 92 is ranked as the best..tbh I've never seen the undercard of that show! Also surprised RR 94 is not on that list..the RR ending,multiple heels having to help Yoko in the Casket Match,etc..but the highlight of that night was Owen's heel turn.
Did you say "Samoan Squat Team" at 3:16 LMAO 😂
A note on Becky/Doudrop, the Wrestlemania sign caught on fire because of the pyro from Ronda's Rumble win so the crowd attention was mostly on that sign and it happened again after Brock's win as well.
good video as ever,suprised the 1995 rumble wasnt included though!
I stopped watching pro wrestling around 1999 when I was 14. I’ve heard about the Money in the Bank and briefcase thing. But I’d love to see a Wrestling Bios video detailing the origins and run of the MitB gimmick
That would be fun. I remember the first one. The best ones mix in the wrestlers telling a story with the high flyers who will do the high risk, high reward moves.
You stopped watching in the middle of the attitude era lol what
Ooh you missed the year 2000? That was literally one of the best years. Admittedly mid 1999 got a bit goofy in WWF after the brilliance of 1998 but by end of 1999 things really improved.
Another amazing video by the best in the business !
The Jumping Bomb Angels vs Glamour Girls match was great, however what I remember most about the match is Vince calling them Japanese girl 1 and 2.
I've got OSW to thank for exposing me to that match.
ROYAL RUMBLE 99 is one of the best of all time. FOR ME. Cagematch is weird sometimes...
The Rock / Mankind I Quit match was EPIC!!!
Great stuff. When you said some of the old fans don’t watch today and today’s fan really didn’t see the old stuff. I’ve been watching since 82 and still watch weekly today. As far as 2 I would throw in there would be 2010, 40 men with ADR winning. I’d take out 99.
How about The Worst Rated Survivor Series Events?
Got to be the 93 Survivor Series.
Most of them suck
@@pleaseshutup7053the very early survivor series were good. Up until 91. When it became a filler PPV to try to sell Tuesday in Texas. From then on, bar a few years, they changed drastically with the format. 95 is my favourite.
@@martynodonnell agreed i loved the very early ones
That's a good idea
I was at the Royal Rumble 2014 in Pittsburgh the boos in the crowd was way more louder than on television the boos when Rey Mysterio came out at #30 was insane
To me, there is no worse Royal Rumble match than 1995. The undercard was very good, but the one minute intervals in the Rumble match drove me insane. The match was over in 30 minutes.
Fun fact relating to the 2012 Royal Rumble: In WWE 2K14, one of the pictures they use for 30 Years of Wrestlemania has Jericho around the time with the caption mentioning that he won the Rumble.
Royal Rumbpe 1990 has my 2nd favorite rumble moment of all time with the stare down between hogan and warrior and I can’t believe you dismissed it as being nothing
Battle Royals/Rumbles were the traditional place promoters used to force an introduction between two baby without dirtying either. Vince also used a 20-man on Saturday Night's main event to build heat between Andre/Hogan in the go home days before WM3. After a short staredown, Andre destroyed and eliminated Hogan
Great video upload enjoyed watching it ive got all the royal rumbles from 1988 on original dvds very interesting to watch Jesse the body venture best commentator for 89 and 90 rumbles just a shame he didn't do no more cheers again wrestling bios
95 Rumble was a 100% Rat Ass show, save for a cool Rumble ending and a good portion of Diesel vs Bret. Such a lousy year 1995 was.
It was too much drama
Yo Ryan, love wrestling Bio's and tried to be a jam-up guy, bought the Bret Hart jam shirt but didn't know how to feature it. The Rumble was my favorite WWE Event as well.
I'm amazed the 1995 rumble wasn't on this list. The only memorable thing that happened that year was hbk being the first guy to enter and win it. If the 1990 rumble was on here, that's crazy that 95 wasn't.
❤amazing another vid love ur work
Thank you for the videos... Love your work brother
"You had to be there, bro." Great line.
Heyman and Roman were already together before 2022
I remember the 1989 rumble fondly as it was a big step up from the inaugural rumble match a year earlier. Hogan had a good showing coming in at number 18 and kind of set the standard for a wrestler coming into the match like a ball of fire and imposing his will on many of the others, yet he still didn't win the match. Always loved how he just got in there, took Mr. Perfect by the hair and brought him across the ring to launch him over the top rope, and credit to Henning (Who had lasted longer than anyone else) for flying out of the ring. Also the Warlord getting close-lined by Hogan over the top rope two seconds after roaring and entering the ring; funny stuff back then.
My favorite rumbles were 94, 97, 98, 99, 2000 and 2001. Fortunately most royal rumble ppvs delivered.
When your hometown cant get a good royal rumble to save its life, and it appears twice on a list. PAIN
The Jumping Bomb Angels were so awesome to watch! I saw them live at a house show at the Meadowlands arena.
How is 1999 even on this list! Crazy!
I love the 88 and 89 rumbles but I have a soft spot for 80’s wrestling
The 1990 rumble had an amazing roster
I really can't wait to see what matches you got
That's a good idea [your viewers choice] 'cause I listen to the old wrestlers' podcasts and such. A recurring complaint or observation is that the fans have changed. I got my own reason for this but mostly there can't be a "big consensus" on things like this, in the manner of how it use to be; at least not now.
99 Rumble being on this list is crazy reeks of modern fan hate
Agree
It's modern fans thinking the Attitude Era is all cringe, no depth.
@@SteelSpurs well they are right, the attitude era was cringe as hell, but that is why it was entertaining.
Everyone who watches this video should go give their scores for all the Rumbles they've actually seen on CageMatch. Then, we should revisit this in a few weeks to see if anything has changed
1990 was when Warrior and Hogan first clashed - it is a top 5 Rumble
- I'd just like to say how much i enjoyed the mention of the Jumping Bomb Angels , they are severely underappreciated / under remembered for how good they were, they were literally years ahead of their time to the point people watching didnt know what to make of their move sets.
And I would just like to say how glad I am that you didn't use the word underrated to describe them, since that wouldn't be the correct terminology.
Before I watch this, I know it’s going to have some 90s matches, which is just insane. Any rumble pre 2000, even 95, is better than anything after for roster alone, but also because there won’t be any dancing spots and other hijinx
Hulk earning a championship match against himself in 91 is essential viewing
I ain't even mad the 95 one didn't feature...
I'm propably the only one, probably due to the nostaligic glasses I view it with.
The 2006 Royal Rumble ended with the WHC match because they wanted to do The Undertaker spot with the ring collapsing
5:03 well I got some news 🤣
I'm shocked that 95 isn't top 3, let alone on this list
Spoiling us. You're by far best wrestling commentator around.
2:31 1990 Rumble where Hogan and Warrior squared off was awesome
As for 1988, People under 40 have no idea how over Hacksaw Duggan was in the 80s tough guy.
Have 2x4, will travel. He was a loveable goofball, who nonetheless didn't back down from a challenge and was proud to be an American. I can see why he was cheered as much as he was.
@@TheEman590a overpatriotic hero
Jesus christ anything will go over back then
Just like the early Rumbles were a product of their time, the same is true for 1998-2000. Looking back they’re objectively not that good. But I still enjoy them and it’s all part of the bigger picture of what was happening in the WWF at the time.
The 2000 edition is overall one of the best PPV's. . .
Good video it’s interesting to see how the fans voted for these ppvs
Yoooooo this count down was spot on! With the exception of the 99 rumble but all others yea spot on lol
2012 was the first rumble I saw as it came out, much of 2008-2011 was me just watching old DVDs and tapes passed from older uncles and cousins
I loved the Rumble 2022. Granted I was so hammered I blacked out as soon as the show ended but I remember having an excellent time.
I enjoy it, i wouldn't mind that Brock winning it, to keep himself strong
One thing to keep on mind, there is huge, huge difference in actually living some era and watching it 30-40 years later. So, realistically, this list can never be merit for anything
The 99 Rumble was legendary...shameful for people to vote it as the 4th worst.
I love that old school rumble music
I love this channel because this channel is fun and honest.
1990 Royal Rumble will always be special. I was 13, it was a school night, and I watched it over the road with my mates. We counted the 10 seconds down with so much vigour the whole street would have heard us!
Can’t believe that the 1993 Royal Rumble isn’t on this Playlist!!! It lacked talent that were either injured or suspended
2006 is one of my favs from a place of complete personal nostalgia hahaha i was 10 and loved Rey Mysterio and i remember pirating it via a dodgy Limewire download, peak mid 2000s that!
To me the Taker vs Bret match at the 96 Rumble was lacking because Vince to me told them play it safe, as you agreed the 96 WWF roster was small. If either Bret, Taker or worse both got hurt that could be two top stars out of Wrestlemania with no one to replace them.
That doesn't make sense, to play safe is more overprotective
@@lexkanyima2195 It does if you lose two top stars before a big PPV that could efffect buys as at this time WWF only had Nash, Hall, Shawn, and a few others as big names. Who would replase them?
@@animegamesmoviesandotherst3037 easily Shawn Michaels and Hall and Nash are on their way out anyway
@@lexkanyima2195 Yes Shawn was good but not enough to hold Wrestlmania 12 with just him. Who would he face in the main event Nash? Hall? Vader is still new, Mankind well show up after 12. Yokozuna is is not doing good.
Yes Hall and Nash are going but leave after the next PPV so until then they are WWF stars.
@@animegamesmoviesandotherst3037 Shawn could have face Owen in terms of their build up
99 rumble was one of the best. I remember it like it was yesterday.
The 1995 Royal Rumble not being on the list is a pleasant surprise. Is that show good? I'd say no. But I enjoy watching it anyway. Especially the Rumble match itself. I liked all the silly gimmicks.

92 was hands down, one of the best... love or hate flair, him going that long was a definition of what a good athlete he was, the star power involved was top tier, even for mid carders
