I feel like you missed a major point in 2015. Kane and Big Show dominating for so much of it. Just dumping amazing young talent out like they were trash. Bray was the highlight of that rumble. And even he got dumped like nothing.
Definitely remember that and the sour taste it left in my mouth. Whoever booked that should be fired.
TheSilentWolf yea, overall there were only a few good entrants. But to be honest, it felt unfinished and overrated. Like Roman Reigns won AGAIN.
Honestly didnt mind kane and big show doing that. Kane is my favorite wrestler ever though so I may be biased
Seth Benson But we all knew that Big Show and Kane were not going to win at all since they’re obviously old, so when they were throwing out great young talent that should have won, only for them to be with Roman reigns at the end, it was like a big middle finger to the fans. Like once it was Big show, Kane, and Roman Reigns, we obviously knew Roman would win. It was the most predictable shit ever. Hell even people were changing for Rusev to win when he was outside of the ring with Big Show, Kane, and Roman in the ring, because we didn’t want either of those 3 competitors to win, and we knew Roman was the only one of the 3 to win anyways.
@@roodypoochrisw is exactly right! The prior years' Rumbles often ended with two guys who end up getting title shots at WrestleMania to leave fans guessing until the very end. Going into 2015, fans felt Roman or Daniel Bryan would win. When Daniel Bryan was eliminated, that left the guess work out of it.
kane really should have won a rumble match
I always thought so, but I could never think of a Wrestlemania opponent for him to main event with.
Eh, Undertaker's had too many matches with him and Lesnar's a lazy ring worker. 2000's Lesnar wouldn't work either as the outcome would be so predictable. He's not a very technical wrestler, so a strong story would be needed.
Chris Jericho should have won too
SheetJeans59638 Big Show
Sad but true
"That's like booing Santa Claus" which lets not forget, Philly has literally also done lol.
Thë Chloë Mason No they didnt, they threw snowballs. The battery incident was Raiders fan throwing batteries at the Chiefs players in the tunnel. Don't you test me on my NFL history knowledge lol.
Thë Chloë Mason oh the Santa Claus incident that was famous in Philly was when the Eagles chucked snowballs at and booed Santa because the Eagles were 2-14 that year in the late 70's.
It was in 1968. The reasoned the booed was that they started out 0-11, and then won 2 meaningless games, and cost them the first pick of the draft, which was O.J Simpson. They went 2-12.
Nick Goode I am well aware of this... Thanks for the exact year though.
Santa Claus isn’t real. Get over it.
I always remember 2001 for being known as the Hardcore Rumble when Raven brought a whole heap of weapons to the ring, a pure classic indeed!
And Blackwood going karate ninja on everyone with the Kendo stick
@matt cheers for not Correcting me on my typo, blackwood lol what a dumbass i am 😂 they should Bring Him back as long as hes got the cheese hat on🤪
Steve Blackman going nuts with the kendo stick too!
I miss Steve Blackman...
That same year in September many people in New York died
i forgot @@mariaedmonson8391
Three of the last four years an Evolution member has won the RR - just realised that pointless fact
Ric Flair is gonna win the 2018 rumble lol
CS7 he won the kfc rumble
AuzzieVideoMaker [TEAM 💯] holy fuck
And they all eliminated Roman Reigns.
Dang! Half Life 3. Prototype 3. Left 4 Dead 3. Team Fortress 3. Manhunt 3 confirmed.
Josh Sobremonte THAT WAS F*CKING EXCELLENT
To be fair, Philly HAS booed Santa before...
"It's like booing Santa Claus" I mean that's pretty par for the course for Philly.
Wendy's Boyz Well Philly saw through the mirage. The story is the actual Santa walked out, so they promised some drunk guy like 250 dollars to wear the suit and the fans knew instantly that it was a sham.
TheIceman 2220 he wasn't drunk 😂😂 he was with his family and only 20 years old by a few days
There was a time where the Philadelphia Eagles were so bad that they Philly actually booed Santa Clause
For Me 2006 is the greatest ever. It started the “For Eddie” storyline and shows how amazing Rey Mysterio can be. Truly masterful.
Ah yes, the early Eddisploitation era, where we all wish it was the _late_ Eddiesploitation era (i.e. they stopped milking money of a dead guy before it became tasteless).
Yep agreed 2006 was a great rumble. Also Triple h put in a incredible performance.
2004 is the best when big show eliminated himself
2004 royal rumble has no winner tho
Jonathan Meyer Who?
Jonathan Meyer pretty sure Big Show eliminated himself therefore having no winner for the match
Actually Big Show went on to win the heavyweight championship at wrestlemania and celebrated with his friend Eddie Guerrero.
The ultimate heel face turn
Whoever booked takeover: Philly last night needs a raise and be put in charge of tonight's Royal Rumble.
Christopher Turner that would be triple H who deserves so much more credit than people seem to give him
Well, i can tell you, he wasnt.
H doesn't book.
Christopher Turner b
As THE reigning Mr. Gay Pennsylvania America I am supportive of this
I'm actually surprised you didn't mention the hardcore segment of 2001's rumble! That was one of the most iconic moments in rumble history, for me! It's also one of the most memorable parts of 2001 if you ask most people!
Hey Mr. Perfect may have never won the rumble, but at least Curtis Axel is still in the 2015 Royal Rumble
Spaced Out Gaming oh my god you’re right
Hahahahaahhaha
2008 Royal Rumble was the first PPV and Professional Wrestling event I watched, and it still remains my favorite 👍
2001 would have been even better if KANE won.
Chaoxide true
no austin is perfect to win
Ahmed Ullah No, Kane deserved a rumble win and 2001 would have made the most sense. Austin did not need that win at all. Kane should have won it.
@@Ak_741 he has won 3 royal rumble matches
Chaoxide I definitely agree and it was great in general I knew it would be the best
"that's like booing Santa Claus." that's exactly what they have done before, nice.
Cultaholic > Whatculture
Oliver Pluta true...very true
No whatculture is best bcoz of Simon miller
Oh, it’s true. It’s true
Oliver Pluta am I the only one who wishes these guys to reunite again
They are both good
'92 is my favorite of all time. Glad to see you see it as high as you did.
So many stories going in it. The feud with Macho Man and Jake The Snake. Rick "The Model" Martell desperately trying to eliminate Flair on his entrance so he wouldn't break his record for lasting the longest. Displayed British Bulldog's Strength. Hell even Virgil seemed relevant as he and Hacksaw eliminated each other. Haha
And of course, The Repo Man. Wrong channel, I know but whatever! 😁🤙
I went to the '92 Rumble when I was 12. It was awesome seeing my favorite wrestler Roddy Piper win his first and only wwf singles title. LOD/Road Warriors vs Natural Disasters. The whole event was great.
@@luchapagliacci8362 I am beyond jealous. Haha
I have seen two Rumbles live now but would trade that in to see that one live. Haha
Piper was red hot that event.
My favourite is 2004 just because Benoit went the whole way and won. So hard to watch now. The rest of the match was fairly lack lustre, but Benoit getting big show out was story telling perfection back then
Put some respect on 2006's name.
That wasn't that good rumble....
Yeah had no idea what he meant by “not a whole lot was memorable” when a whole lot of stuff happened in it
The main event of Takeover last night was the best match I've seen since I started watching WWE again in 2015. It was a masterpiece of action and storytelling. Bravo.
The 92 Rumble is easily the best. IMO
Chris Terry it was not a predictable ending
You're not wrong
Whooooo!
2001. Sorry to disagree, but I was an attitude era kid.
2002 will be the best for me. The emotion of Austin and HHH entering, it was like holy shit!
Undertakers elimination probably the biggest shocker ever too.
The 2007 final 2 was my favorite ending in royal rumble history
This list could definitely use an update after several years of mens and womens Rumbles of varying quality.
2005 is criminally low
It was too botchy
@Awais A no its not
Great Royal Rumble ppv
Honestly it's a pretty damn good Rumble cuz it showcases the best of the Ruthless Aggression era. the final four of Rey Edge Cena and Batista were all on the cusp of main event status not to mention the fans being divided between Cena and Batista at the end.
2005 is my fav rumble
'92 isn;t at the top of the list? That's not fair to Flair!
This bloke wasn’t even a bean in his dads sack in 92 therefore this list doesn’t count
@@ben01193 He can still watch it lmao
I want a supercut of every blooper where he says "I'm Adam pacitti from whatculture"
"Before they digivolved"
19:00 Bret vs Austin at WM13 wasn't a title match. They both had their shot at In Your House 13: Final Four.
24:10 There was no clear winner between Bret, Undertaker, & Vader since they were all eliminated by Austin after he came back in.
And Austin was eliminated before so eliminating Vader, Undertaker, and Bret Hart doesn’t count !!
@@anshumannbatra8907 Bret Hart eliminated Fake Diesel.
@@jp3813 Oh I’m sorry. I’ll edit it right away !!
jp3813 fake Diesel and Kane are the same person.
@@cyrus2546 So?
1989 is too high, 1994 too low and no way is 2003 better than 2004. 2003 was pretty average.
I think comparing the Rumble to Christmas is quite apt. You have the slowly growing anticipation leading up to it. Then the excitement when it all starts. Then growing resentment and disappointment as you have to deal with all the bullshit near the end. And when it's over you're angry and bitter and wonder why you bothered with it all in the first place.
This is insanely accurate.
They can't fuck up 2018 as much as 2015, could they?
jha123salt never underestimate WWE
Anthony Milord oh, I am very aware of that XD
We'll see
That was brilliant wasn't it? :)
Amazing how Reigns has ruined all the last royal rumbles
vicente paredes fans ruined it because all cry babies
WWE ruined it... shoving Roman down our throats...
Tunnellord16 no fans ruined it for being retards. Exactly why i stopped watching
Clamp God why are you here if you stopped watching then?! Move on, bruh.
Collins Gilfoy probably because i started watching again.
The best Rumble's were 1997, 1998, and 2001.
And that's the bottom line, because Stone Cold said so!!!
2004 is my favorite Rumble without a doubt.
mine too
R.I.P. Chris Benoit
Chris Benoit
Lakers fan if you are a WWE fan, you have to have watched every Royal Rumble. U failed mate.
I was waiting for this comment 😍
2015 is hands down the worst
1994. "Co-winners."
Enough said.
@@josephschmoe2448 Better than Roman Reigns winning.
@@sakibdagoat ... Roman Reigns haters are the dumbest fans in the history of wrestling.
@@josephschmoe2448 I don't hate him I just I think others deserve the spotlight as well.
@@YoshiRocks57 Ikr and if we complain these marks think we are haters.
Kane should have won 2001
On one hand I kinda agree with you, but on the other hand it would not make any sense as at the time Kane wasn't really involved in any main event storylines. The 2001 Rumble wasn't about giving a random person a chance at the title as much as it was about the eventual purchase of Dubseedubya and the story telling of Austin doing "whatever it takes" to become the WWF champion again giving us a heel turn that makes Hogan's look like MST3K.
@@sunnyreddy8605 Why not save that for No Way Out 2001?
Kane could have won in 01, then fought Austin for the #1 contender spot at No Way Out.
Austin fought Triple HHH at the event, in the 3 Stages of Hell match. Kane tagged with Taker in a losing effort in a triple threat tables match.
I think Kane vs Austin would have been better.
@negro bsr I think I was just tired of triple h at that point. I don't know, it's been 20 years ago. I just tried to have Kane win the Rumble and Austin still in the main event at X7. 🤷
2004 is my favourite rumble
Yah it sad big show eliminated himself
2010 was my favorite rumble. As a kid watching with my dad, he loved CM Punks rant about “saving the locker room”. I wanted Shawn Micheals to win to face undertaker, and was devastated and reacted the same as he did when he was eliminated (minus super kicking my own dad). Luckily me and my dad both got really excited when Edge returned.
2007's always been my favorite. The atmosphere, the finale, the Undertaker. It was just so good. The worst has to be 2015. Not just Reigns' win, but it just lacked any excitement.
The effort that went into this video is well and truly appreciated. Top marks lads
Top marks for the marks.
Gobbledygooker to win the rumble this year
My top 3
2004-it was the first ppv I ever watched live so it’ll always be my favorite
2008- I was a huge John cena mark when I was 11
2007-cause undertaker is my favorite wrestler of all time
I don’t fucking care
@@thanoswest6754 wow you must do because you commented on a 3 year old post
I know you’re British like me so can be excused (or maybe you were trolling us on 2nd thoughts), but Philly fans have Booed Santa, Eagles fans to be precise.
I think that, if Royal Rumble 2018 was added to this list, it’d probably be somewhere in the upper middle.
Pretty Pretty Voldie True, like number 8 or 9.
I would put it in the top 10 for sure. It was a very well booked rumble
Which one, the men's or the OG women's rumble?
To be fair to Philly, not only have they booed Santa Claus, they've thrown snowballs at him
Chris Benoit winning from the one spot was my favorite moment in a rumble
I hope you know what he did after that.
Poor Sam...Had to edit 30 minutes of Pacitti talking
Great video, a lot of detail on each event. Good work Pacitti
Remember when WWE for the first time gave 4 awesome rumbles back to back
2007-2010
Wrestling Roots I don’t know I liked 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 quite a lot. So probably not the first time. Then again again WWE was WWF for half of those lol
Favorite 4 in a row were 2005 to 2008. :D
I think we got 5 awesome rumble matches in a row from 2000 to 2004. Alot of people hate on 2000 but I thought it was actually pretty good and 2002 is my favorite rumble match of all time
please don't let this years Rumble be about Roman again.
ok so you said philly booing the rock is like booing santa claus well in philly they booed santa at a hockey game and threw stuff at him
1992 is the Royal Rumble in which all are compared to. Simply perfect.
The 5 best rumbles in my opinion
5. 2010
4. 2001
3. 2008
2. 2003
1. 2004
I knew 2001 rumble was number 1 Kane set a record that should of never been broken and the funniest but painful part was Al Snow with the bowling ball
Definition of Quality content
Lol nobody likes 1999 because we kinda only were supposed to care about two people and the ending was kinda predictable
I think 2004 was the best followed by 92 and 01
But nobody won 2004
Chris Benoit
Worst: 1995
Best: 2004
But that's just my opinion.
Josh Sobremonte I agree 1995 was the worst looked like a match from wrestling challenge then a ppv I gotta go with 92 as the best cause I’m a old head lol but 2004 was a good one but don’t tell Wwe that
Oh really? I thought it was Clint Bobsky's opinion
DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT ABOUT HBK!
I've seen them all, have them all, i have to say 1999 is still the cancer of the Royal Rumble matches. 1995 was pretty good, with the 2 guys going coast to coast, and the shocking ending. Just not much star power, but still a decent Rumble.
1992 will always be the best, 2001 was pretty good...... for some reason i love 2006, including the backstage segments, two guys lasting over an hour in a rumble was pretty cool. 1990's Rumble was awesome, 2008 was pretty good, there will always be some stinkers.......
1999 was the worst
You guys should do the top ten storylines.
Has to be 1992. It's not fair to flair !
I'm glad the 2010 rumble was high on the list, personally it is my favorite and I also enjoyed the 2009 rumble
I love 2001, but 1992 is a mythical match of greatness.
My top 5
5: 2011
4: 2014
3: 2009
2: 2005
1: 1999
While I do admit that 2001 was indeed an awesome Royal Rumble, I disagree about it being better than 92's RR, more to less, the best one. That year's Royal Rumble and especially Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon's classic commentary during it will never be topped, in my opinion.
Philadelphia sports fans boo Santa Claus regularly
2001 best rumble ever best part was Kane
Well Philadelphia is notorious for booing Santa, bad analogy xD
2010 was great. I miss Edge wrestling those were the days. Now the only great Canadian wrestler is our hero kenny omega.
Austin Jones You know what happens when you miss out Chris Jericho's name ? YOU JUST MADE THE LIST !!!!
the 2007 royal romble is the best of all time
Justin Williams finally the goat won (undertaker)
2001 was the best rumble ever had everything you could ask for
Daniel dickens I just wanted Kane to win that one
2001 always has been my all-time Favourite rumble- I'm glad it topped the list.
No mention on Diesel in 2011? i was there that night and oh my god ive never heard that big of a pop EVER.. I still have goosebumps watching it now
christian ouellette that was an awesome surprise appearance! 40 men meant more room for surprise entrants and they used it well.
1991 was a good Rumble overall. The only negative thing to me was Hogan winning.....again. That Rumble does not deserve to be ranked so low, in my humble opinion.
Anyone think of an excuse for me not to go to college?Watching the rumble. Uk 12 am start till 3 or 4am.

Thank you😀😃😄😁😆
Welcome to the Top 10, 2018.
It was good, but not that good. 2016 was better imo.
Maybe it was just the suprise of AJ Styles, the star power of Triple H, and the fact that Roman didn't win, back when it seemed impossible, it just felt more exciting than this one.
The problem I had with 2016 was that Triple H was obviously going to win. 2018 was the most star-studded rumble in years (even more than 2017), there were just so many great wrestlers who had great showings: Balor, Almas, Rollins, Nakamura, Cena, Wyatt, Mysterio, Ziggler, Miz, Zayn, Hardy, Cesaro, Cole, Rusev, even Elias. If Roman Reigns hadn't been in the rumble (or had entered and been eliminated quickly to the biggest pop in history), this would have been one of my favourites
True, but no Styles, Owens, Lesnar, Strowman.
Brock never does anything though, he's just a big boi
2008 was the best i dont care wat u say
legends, return of john cena, last 2 of the last royal rumble started this one
just my favorite
I really love the top 3, but 2010 is definitely my favorite one ever.
1990 is still my favorite Rumble, maybe one of my favorite matches. Thank's for putting it so high.
I know you’re not from America, but the eagles fans booed Santa and threw snow at him
2017 wasn't that bad
Ethan Smith except for the end.
yeah I feel like people just judge it by the end
The only reason people think 2017 wasn't that bad is because Orton winning was a breath of fresh air compared to the utter bullshit of the three worst Rumbles of all time in the three years proceeding it.
No it wasn't, but it was damn dissapointing
Whose ready for Sin Cara to win the Royal Rumble
Wormie Gaming 2.0 was hoping for a hornswoggle return win
we all know that the Yetti is going to return to win the Rumble
2009 Jeff Hardy
2011 Kane
2012 Jericho
2016 Ambrose
...
1999 Anyone except vince
"Like booing Santa clause"...which Philadelphia had done and pelted with iceballs
Steven Feese what really?
That’s my hometown for u
I think the 2012 Rumble is way under-appreciated. The early comedy bits with Foley, Santino and Ricardo were all great, and the commentators entering was supremely entertaining, plus the ending "match within a match" between Sheamus and Jericho is second only to Undertaker and Shawn Michaels in 2007. I think if Jericho had won that match, everyone would consider it a top ten Rumble, maybe even top five. I also think the 2005 Rumble isn't getting enough love. The Raw vs Smackdown showdown was electric, and the Hussan elimination right after is extremely satisfying. Plus it has the best elimination ever with Snitsky sending Paul London to the shadow realm. The only blemish is that Tazz's pro-Smackdown commentary is a tad aggressive at times.
Also, I find it ironic that this video was made right before the 2018 Royal Rumble, because I think the 2018 Mens Royal Rumble is the best Rumble match ever.
Same! I was actually at the 2018 royal rumble so I might be biased but I also think it's the best rumble ever.
Royal Rumble 2007 Was Best.
Royal Rumble 2015 Was Worst.
Royal rumble 03,08,10,16 were also great.
WHY ARE THE BULLET CLUB SPLITTING UP IT IS SO SAD AAAAAHHH
TheImmortaWolf 😢😢😢😢😢ik
They’re not splitting up, just Kenny Omega being kicked out.
This has been your best week of content so far....keep it up the channel is coming along great!
Jericho deserved to win last year's Rumble
Personally, I liked the 1999 royal rumble. It's very unique compared to all the other royal rumbles. With the rise of the attitude era during that time, it seemed like actions outside the ring were perfect timing for the attitude era. Obviously, none of us, for sure, wants every royal rumble like this, but it's like a once-in-a-lifetime scenario. With Vince also winning the Royal Rumble is what also makes it unique-- for the first time, a non-wrestler wins. Even though it was a disappointing one, it was something never done just like a wrestler (Steve Austin) still being legally in the match returning from the hospital.
I really wish that the rumors of Shinsuke vs Styles weren't talked about for months on end. I like Shinsuke and everything, but it was too predictable.
Michael Rivera not in wwe. Im surprised they actually had shinsuke win and not roman again
JayCro Well the problem with WWE is that even though Styles vs Nakamura will be good, their clash in NJPW will run laps around it considering WWE doesn't like to let wrestlers use their full potential.
Michael Rivera ya. But its still probably going to be the best match at wrestemania. So even if its not as good as their wrestle kingdom match itll look even better cus of the shit wrestling thatll happen before it
JayCro Well yeah it's Styles lol. He can probably face a piece of wood and make it look amazing.
Nah it wasn’t predictable
It was hoped for and talked about which is different
98 - The first showdown of Austin and The Rock? They had a singles match on PPV a month before!
Everytime Daniel Bryan loses/gets eliminated in the Rumble everyone in the crowd becomes whining crying babies
Mattias Mario Búgvason true
Useless Bryan
Lots of effort went in on this video, good stuff! Hoping for more long length videos in the future.
The year 2000 is the last year of the 20th century, the 21st century only starts in 2001
myTheus 😂😂😂 no it doesn’t.
I never understood why so many people were angry about Daniel Bryan being eliminated. I never thought anything of it.
Chris Ackerman yeah me too
smarks
Because you don't know wrestling
@Mike The Scott you are a fucking idiot
Hope that 2018 is not a roman rumble again
Shubham p1 it almost was
I enojoyed the 2018 a lot. I would put it in the top 10 of best rumbles of all-time, maybe even top 5.
jtp2007 top ten maybe not 5 I saw it and I really don’t remember it like I do the others one on the top 5
Didn’t Kenny omega just get kicked out of Bullet club
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Kenny Omega was kicked from the Bullet Club and lost the IWGP US Title.
MeLikeSoap da fuq really?
MeLikeSoap He's not kicked yet.
