- The Royal Rumble every year is one of the best PPVs. Going back to my childhood, there were so many awesome Royal Rumble PPVs, however one that stands out to this day is Royal Rumble 2007. A night where John Cena had one of his greatest matches ever against Umaga. In a classic Last Man Standing Match. The same night also gave us one of the best Royal Rumble matches ever. Where four men, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Edge and Randy Orton put on a show. This show in 2021 still just puts a smile on my face when I think about it, with the 2021 Royal Rumble approaching, I thought why not go back in time to 2007 and take a look at What Made Royal Rumble 2007 So Special?

Wrestling Gifs. I'm share a personal story. My father ordered this Royal Rumble for me and the family in 07. My dad loved The Undertaker and he got so happy he won. It was his last ppv with us. He died of cancer March 23, 2007. I never was the same. When I watch or think of this Royal Rumble I think of my dad. It was a special night for Undertaker Shawn Michaels John Cena Batista Edge Randy Orton and Umaga. They all shined this night. Appreciate you letting me tell my story. R.I.P Pops 🙏
RIP to your father bro🙏🏼
Rip to ur father
RIP to your dad
Sorry for your loss my friend. May he Rest in Peace. God Bless you
😳😳 That's crazy af.. Cuz I lost my Mom to cancer on August 04, 2007. After that I stopped watching wrestling for a bit.
The showdown between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels at Royal Rumble 2007 is a prelude to their WrestleMania classics in 2009 and 2010
And when they kicked off Royal Rumble 2008
@@cheche5201 When Santino entered the Rumble as the third entrant, he knew that he screwed up because the two previous entrants (Undertaker and HBK )are no pushovers but two of the best icons in WWE history and thus, he gets thrown outside the ring
I was waiting for this comment it was so amazing
Yes
@@michaelbandada9887and those two managed to last 75% of the match
The fact that this was Taker’s only Rumble win is mind blowing. Also that Cena/Umaga match was brutal.
Not really, he didn't need the Rumble wins, his streak at WrestleMania meant more than a title match. But god dam Batista vs Undertaker should've been the main event at Wrestlemania!
Yes it is mind blowing the taker has been runner up though twice once in 2001 and 2003 he should of won in 2003 but damn Batista screwed him hey how ironic that taker got his revenge in the same year as he accually won the rumble 😆 he's also tied for the second most eliminations at the rumble with 39 Kane is first with 45 or something also surprising that despite all Kane's eliminations he never won a rumble or competed in a main event at wm exspecially when taker been in 5 main events at wm and won 4 of them and plus also won a rumble surprisingly so much difference between the two
@@grandmastermario3695 in 2001 the runner up was Kane
@Meta Man the runner up in 2001 was kane
@@grandmastermario3695 he got eliminated by maven in 2002 and undertaker charachter was a badass and got eliminated by maven i see why he didn’t win till 2007
Man, this takes me back
I watch your videos lol what are you doing here
oh hey man lol
Glad to experience it,
Yooo
The final 4 performance in the Royal Rumble between Edge, Orton, HBK and Undertaker was amazing. Once HBK and Undertaker was the final 2, it was absolute classic. The storytelling behind the final 4 was incredible
Randy Orton and Edge are major league dicks who refuse to let the other guy win the Rumble and they are willing to stab each other in the back just to get the coveted WrestleMania main event title shot
@@michaelbandada9887 That's what made that final 4 performance incredible. Orton and Edge was hellbent taking out HBK and Taker and was willing to play mind games with themselves
Now just imagine HHH never got injured. Taker and HHH would've been the last 2 with Taker winning
@@jrod132 I can see that or HBK vs Taker vs HHH as the final 3 in Royal Rumble
"wish we could turn back time
To the good old dayss"
Hits different now
Ikr I like this
21pilots?
It really does, maybe I'm looking at this with rose tinted glasses but we really didn't appreciate what we had at that time. Though Star Wars was dry in content, and the MCU hadn't been conceived yet
@@alonsoarana5307 Exactly my friend. This was back when WWE was actually trying to entertain us as fans. 2002-2008 was the Ruthless Aggression Era and we didn't know what we had until it was gone. Since the 2010s, we have seen the downfall of the WWE. As a 90s kid, I miss both the Attitude Era and the Ruthless Aggression Era.
Yh. I’m not a fan of the song but that stands out
Man the rumble 2007 is underrated the goat the taker won led to the most underrated mania match ever
Every taker mania title win in is underrated
Batista and edge
I would argue that Wrestlemania 24 is the most underrated but 23 was really good. Taker/Batista definitely stole the show.
@@Marcellus-ro4ko I say WrestleMania XXVI is very Underrated. All three are awesome
@@lancethefilmguy9392 Ehhh I mean, XXVI was more of a two match show which was the Money in the Bank and Taker vs HBK. The rest of the card was average or below.
the commentary
"WHO CAN STOP THE GREAT KHALI?"
*dong*
"MAYBE THERE IS SOMEONE"
man, the ruthless aggression era was special
Well done man! Entertaining breakdown

@Jim Cornette ayyy jim cornette. Hows ur best friends marko stunt and vince russo
My very last class in high school I sat The room as a senior about to graduate in two days and I watched the last man standing match for the first time in years that’s how I ended high school
This rumble had an Attitude Era Ruthless Aggression Era an ECW vibe to it
One of the best!
This was better than any attitude era rumble
@@stephcurrytheg.o.a.t any match in the ruthless aggression era was better than attitude era
Yes
@@stephcurrytheg.o.a.t I can bet my life that you %100 did NOT grow up in the attitude era , you don’t even need to admit it 🤣 sitting here like some little punk kid thinking you know about the attitude era , 2007 was TRASH compared to 1998-2001 royal rumbles , i watched them when they aired
The moment whenever there's only five wrestlers left in the ring was one of the best things in royal rumble 2007
Umaga was really something man, never truly appreciated his heel greatness until I became an adult. He can’t even be seen as a heel, he’s just like an unstoppable ferocious force back then.
just like kane when he first started and undertaker big evil
Don’t forget Batista went from Generic wrestler number 55 to Yakuza Leader😭😭😭
Never forget
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 💯😭😭
😂👌🏽
lmaooo literally
Then he went on to guard the galaxy
That Cena Umaga feud was just incredible. They built Umaga up to be a huge monster heel. Even his loss at the Royal Rumble made him look strong.
Fun fact: originally in WM 23 we were originally going to get Orton vs edge but the ideas got cut. And 13 years later history was repeated at both rumble and WM
Imagine John Cena vs The Undertaker for the wwe championship at wrestlemania
@@brailyndurham2429 i heard hell return this ywar
Yeah but HHH got injured and change the card
@@yuvyork6915 that would've been fucking dope but Taker with the spinner belt looks ugly now had Cena had the big gold then yeah lol
@@yuvyork6915 Undertaker would’ve won but the match probably would be super amazing. It would just be better than their actual match at WM.
Benoit's last royal rumble ppv
@Moviez Inc I hope they upload it erasing all the footage of Benoit, it could be comical lmfao
The man who killed wrestling forever
@@frankmiranda707 I would've never said it better
2003, too.
@Carl Johnson 2003
2005-2007 was the bridge between the ruthless aggression era and the PG era, and is sadly overlooked by a lot of people
Actually the PG Era aka Universe Era was in 2009-2013
@@lancethefilmguy9392 *2008-2016*
2005 was 1000x times way better than those years 2006 and 2007 with lots of injuries, The Spirit Squad, ECW exploitation, The "May 19th" storyline, The Great Khali, The King Booker gimmick, The Devaluation of the WHC, The "God" storyline, Kurt Angle leaving the company for TNA, Mr. McMahon becoming ECW champion, and The Chris Benoit tragedy, the list goes on and on. The PG Era sucks too.
@@brianburnswildcat You're forgetting the Network Era 2014-2020
@@brianburnswildcat You are entitled to your opinion however I think your forgetting the pg era has the most consistently good wrestling from WWE
The last seven to ten minutes of the rumble will always be the most legendary rumble moments ever.
Randy orton edge undertaker Shawn Michaels was my favorite
fun fact , this was my second birthday and my parents left me at my aunts to watch this live at the atnt center
Nice!
I don’t care

@@aarti6172 cared enough to reply 🤣🤣🤣🤣 jokes on you buddy
Don't you think you look too old ?
Undertaker was by far in the best shape of his career in 2007. He not only had a ton of muscle mass, but the man was just ripped on top of that.
Fun Fact: This was the last WWE PPV Appearance of Test
R.I.P Test 🙏
😔
Thats a sad fact
And Benoit
@@deanbecenti9769 no
😭”he would slam his ass at a thousand miles per hour”😂
its a hundred bro. not a thousand miles per hour. is umaga`s ass traveling mach 25 or something 😂😂
I mean it’s better than rikishi smearing his thong wearing sweaty ass on your face
What I love about Pav is that he enjoys the narrative instead of bitching about who should be a face and who should be a heel. In other words, he ain't a smark. Keep it up bro.
Definitely. Which is refreshing nowadays. Seems like almost everyone is a Smark. As I always say #SmarksSuck
dude, i cant explain how much nostalgia you made me feel. in a dark time for all of us you've made it that much better
I love how he always opens these videos with stuff that happened outside of wrestling in that year, it rly brings me back to the good days, keep it up pav :D
John Cena vs Umaga in a last Man Standing for the WWE Championship felt like an absolute War to the next new level
The Royal Rumble match itself in the end was something special between the final two between two former world champions and hall of famers HBK and Taker with a huge pop.
2007 was an Underrated year in the WWE in my view
The 2007 Royal Rumble is so underrated tbh
I don't think is underrated at all, for me is the beginning of Undertaker's prime as a performer.
2006-2009 I was a diehard wwe fan as a 9-12 year old. Both the content and video games were so nice I feel bad for 2010-present fans
same but they did get to see batista heel which was great
This was my very first Royal Rumble. Still remember being 11 watching it live on PPV with my stepdad who was also a huge wrestling fan. Good times 😀
Man when Cena took out Umaga I was beyond relieved for my dude, I remember that same year he feuded with the great Khali too and beat him as well!
Talk about The TNA game, call it “That time TNA made a wrestling game”
When TNA was on AEW level
@@jUAN.T Actually, 2000's TNA was higher than AEW (still is as this of when this comment was made)
That game was fun
It had potential that’s for sure. Can’t say it was a good game.
I actually beat that game a few times lol I miss those days.
Cena vs Umaga is honestly one of my favorite Last Man Standing matches
undertaker is my all time favorite so this rumble will always be my favorite I'll never forget being hopeless that khali is going to win and then takers theme played and won the whole thing its one of my favorite moments in wrestling
That 10 minute impromptu match between Taker & Michaels was better than most normally timed matches
Damn I was looking at wrestling a lot in 2007
Mannn, I felt this. As a kid this was all so amazing, I’ll never forget these legendary times.
Early 2007 was a vibe bro
The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels being the final 2 in the rumble match made it iconic
2007 was the best time to be a wrestling fan, i wish i could turn back time
2007 was a great year.
No
@@brianburnswildcat It was bozo
John cena vs Umaga underrated
Yup best cena storyline at the time top 3 ever for me, wished umaga won at new years revolution and then Cena beat him in the crazy last man standing
Preach brother Preach
My Favorites Most Underrated Royal Rumble 2007 matches all times
Umaga was a perfect monster heel. Wished Umaga had a run with the title and let Cena chase and beat him for it. They concluded the feud a little too soon.
Please don’t ever stop making these nostalgic videos 😭 these hit a type of way
You're right about everything you said except for 1 thing, you said the older fans hated Cena and that's not true. I'm 39 years old and loved Cena.. I couldn't not respect the fact that he filled the shoes of the 2 greatest superstars the business has ever seen after they left.. he took the place of the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin and held the company down. My hat goes off to that man, he deserves all the respect a person can give him for accomplishing that.
Exactly. Both Cena and Batista carried the company after Austin and Rock left. The Last made stars in the WWE
@@lancethefilmguy9392 you're right, Batista did contribute a lot to the WWE's success.. Undertaker did to.
The timing of these instrumentals🔥
A story for all-
I watched this at home on a tiny 11 inch black and white TV. That time cable was expensive in my town so I had to climb two story, hinge on a wall to clip the dangling wire to get the cable for those few hours. My brother saw me & tried to snitch to mom. I begged him not to. We both saw the match & went out to celebrate after the match. We were the only few who saw the match and went full story teller mode in the collage. Yup I was in collage that time. I can never forget this moment. Legendary royal rumble match.
TBH that Cena Umaga match was so scary for me. Umaga was crushing my childhood hero I thought Cena was gonna die, and just when I thought Umaga was gonna win he lay soundless on the mat and the bell rings
Two of my favorites became World Heavyweight champion that being Undertaker and Edge. Gotta love both for the insane matches and rivalry.
Fun fact: This is the last year 2007 WWE had a low quality on TV but the matches are 4k
This rumble holds a special place in my heart because this was the year I reconnected with my dad and he gave me $50 bucks, me being a kid I went to Popeyes and went to block buster to buy this. I didn’t have cable growing up so I mostly watched smack down on upn/My 20 and I never got to see pay per views. When I saw this I was super happy.
I know Hardcore Holly was mentioned as a joke, but honestly at the time, that was feasible considering he was frequently thrown in the main event here and there.
That said, I would love to see a midcarder win the Rumble. Someone nobody expects - but not incredibly insulting either. Someone like Cesaro or Aleister Black today.
I was 7 when they had their first Hell in a Cell and Kane debuted. The Attitude Era Rock & Austin & DX /NWO & Sting was my child hood. You make me appreciate your childhood era the way you broke it down. Makes me want to go watch it. Thank bro!
Hate to admit it but the last man standing match was nothing but incredible. I really thought this was the moment Umaga was going to win the title
Awesome video my guy! I can completely relate to the Umaga and John Cena feud. I was a 10 year old kid relatively fresh into wrestling and I remember thinking how unstoppable Umaga was and was worried that Cena was not going to win
Honestly, this was beautiful. Back in 07 I was 10 and I remember all this like if it was just yesterday.
The gf just rolled me a blunt while I was looking for something to watch. Pav comin in clutch with the content yet again 🔥🔥
*John Cena from (2005 - 2007) aka Military Cena was a BEAST*
i love how he casually said Sandman in a video about 2007
if u get that reference i commend u
Lol
This goat WWE. page mentioning the goat Toby Maguire as Spider-Man is the best thing ever. Literally you whole childhood in 16 mins
Royal Rumble 2007 is one of the best Royal Rumbles ever! It's my favorite of all time too! Before the rumble I pick Taker to win and I was right lol. I saw some other sites that if HHH didn't get injured he was supposed to win. Not sure that was going to happen because Taker hadn't won a rumble yet. There was no way HBK was going to win because he was change man. Just imagine at WM 23 it could've been Taker vs HBK and Cena vs Batista but in the end Batista vs Taker and Cena vs HBK were fucking great. Batista vs Taker should've main event WM 23. Cena vs Umaga last man standing match was fucking great. Cena made Umaga look like a beast! Umaga was the MVP of that match. It's the year 2007 Spider-Man 3 and Transformers came out and every kid including loved it until we got older Spider-Man 3 wasn't good and Transformers was okay. In the WWE outside the ring was bad too many star injuries, Vince's limo blows up and we thought he died, and the Chris Benoit murder tragedy
I was 16 when I saw Spider-Man 3 in theaters. All these years later I still enjoy it
@@lancethefilmguy9392 I was 8 when it came it in theaters and I loved it because of the black suit. I thought it was better than Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2. As I got older now I'm 22 I watched a couple times and it's not good lol
Does anybody remember the Samoan drop to Cena in the last man standing match? It was brutal.
That sit up and kick up sync will forever be engrained in my 11yo mind
This was the year I got into wrestling, I still remember being in 5th grade and finding out about john cena cause some hood girl that I liked in my class had a crush on him lol she got like 5 kids now and shitt
Edit: bruh she got 6 kids now! No bullshit istg
Lmao that means she got 5 kids at 23 (since most 5th graders are 10 year olds), you serious mate
@@nikolaimaharaj2319 5th graders are 12 in texas, so 5 at 25 😅 4 are from the same dude and she just had 1 from some other dude that im guessing she hypnotized, i mean who tf wants a girl with 4 kids 😂 shes kinda fine tho not gonna cap
And how i know all this, our era/school class really stuck together through social media over the years, we are literally the myspace OGs lol
I was 9 when this happened and got the DVD as my first ever wrestling item
Watched it on repeat that year and fell in love with wrestling because of it
Today’s kids will never know how good wrestling was back then 😭💔
As a 90s kid, I appreciate the Ruthless Aggression Era because it was the last good Era of WWE
@@lancethefilmguy9392 true
Agreed! These little kids will never know!😭💯
jus wanna say thank u for the upload... your videos are great ... i never saw any of this ppv; this was when i was kinda checked out of wwe and would watch wrestlemania at a friends house every day and thats it
I remember watching Cena vs Umaga on CZcams as a kid and I 100% agree Umaga was a terrifying. That match was brutal and Cena made Umaga look like a monster.
Royal rumble 2007 match was badass especially when undertaker won and he challenged Batista at wm 23 in a fantastic match and their feud ended up in my opinion as the best feud of 2007
I rarely comment on CZcams videos and i don’t follow the WWE since 2009 or so but i watch every single video from you.
These videos always bring up childhood memories i want to thank you for that!
Best wishes from Germany!
That IS and will FOREVER be the GREATEST Last Man Standing match and one of the greatest matches of all time.
The fact that it was here in San Antonio,Tx and I was there Taker eliminated HBK to win it all, awesome Rumble!

The legend is back
I love how you put those old wrestling forums of how many people were speculating about it, you should definitely do it more
I remember watching this Pay per view as a kid it so much fun to watch
I remember after this PPV there was so much talk about it at school. Everyone was happy that Kennedy was given a title shot (despite hating him). Taker winning the Rumble was amazing.
What a time to grow up.
I was actually there live. I was 17 years old and just started working a part-time job the previous year to buy $90 tickets. It was the best gift I could buy myself. I remember being in San Antonio and hearing so many people go back-and-forth when interviewed outside at fan access on who they thought would win the rumble. All you heard was HBK or taker. That’s how you knew that this was going to be an epic showdown. Also think that the Cena match is his most underrated match.
Such a great event. The main matches were fire and even the supporting matches were cool
One of my favorite endings to a royal rumble
Bro I love how you start your videos off with that nostalgia trip 🔥
13:02 Your a genius for that 😂
This man could literally make anything sound amazing
This event was my introduction to wwe as a kid and I loved that umaga vs cena and rumble match to death
I remember ordering this pay-per view LIVE! Ugh! I saw the entire Cena/Umaga match and Taker win the rumble. Best time of my life at 7 yrs Old. Lol
The Undertaker jokes are never gonna get old
One of my favorite rumbles with my favorite Last Man Standing Match.
Your videos are so special because the way you explain it you tell about your feelings the intensity at the pay-per-view watching your videos make my dat
Imagine if WWE took the time and effort to build new stars to shine as bright as HBK, Randy Orton, or The Undertaker etc.
miss the ruthless aggression era 🔥🔥
Fun fact: this ppv theme was drones by rise against one of the best ppv themes of all time
Damn, so many storylines from this rumble only. Nostalgia is real ,ladies and gentlemen. Thanks for this video!!

April 3, 2006 - April 1, 2007
World Wrestling Entertainment: The Ruthless Aggression Era, arguably their best year ever.
Samoan Spike is so unique. At its core is a thumb to the throat but Umaga make it so deadly
It would be really cool if you talked about rivalries, how they began, their history, and how it developed characters. You kind of already do this from paper-views, but for example you have the randy orton and triple h rivalry. It made a young and cocky randy orton who had the support of triple h and evolution, turn evil when they betrayed him. Then he became snake-like, he never trusted anyone, he became sadistic and evil. Randy orton and edge would be a really great rivalry to go through too. Even kane, undertaker, and guys like those had really great kayfabe stories, it would be interesting to watch videos about those rivalries!
2007 was one of my favorite years ever loved that time from royal rumble to Wrestlemania it was all good as a kid. Also elite Charles Barkley reference 😂
Been waiting for this!! my favourite ppv of all time.
