4:38 When talking about the ‘92 Rumble, I meant Sid and not Luger! My bad 🫡
Are you doing a rumble watch party?
How long did it take you to watch every rumble over?
If it makes u feel any better, In the original Gorilla called Flair Martel a couple of times near the end. 😅
Two muscled blonde guys, kind of fair. Especially since you and John have next to no knowledge of anything past like 2003.
I hate the fact they let people get eliminated by people already eliminated
Not Dante watching every Rumble. I just rewatched the Women's ones and thought was a lot. Daddy is doing the work👀
Because they are boring
@pleaseshutup7053 read your name.
😭😭
2017 was rated too high IMO. Seeing Roman come out at number 30 was such a kick in the teeth. Everyone wanted to see Samoa Joe debut here but they got a different Samoan named Joe.
Fair but that Rumble hold a special place in my heart watching it in college with my roommates. Orton winning was a surprise to me and I enjoyed it probably more than most!
keep up the awesome work brodie! me and my boys are watching this to prep for the rumble tomorrow…you’re killing it 100%
I appreciate that so much!! Thank you guys 🤘🏼
The 2015 Royal Rumble felt like an exercise in "what if every decision we made was the worst one possible?" Having Bryan enter early and get eliminated so abruptly. Having Roman win wasn't a bad choice but at the time nobody wanted to see it. Having popular guys like Ambrose and Ziggler get dumped out by the likes of Kane and Big Show. Just a disaster of a match.
The 1995 Rumble is an angle disguised as a Rumble match. The other 28 men didn’t matter it was all about HBK and Bulldog.
You could say that about the one Vince won too
The 89 rumble made good use however of the opening numbers 1 and 2 entrants, them being both members of Demolition, was a good way to help establish early on the magnitude of the classic message that its friends and foes alike lol
I really enjoy your style of making videos, it’s actually fresh to see you do stuff like this and for me it’s really enjoyable! It’s easy to follow your words because most tier list videos I usually skip some content but the way you go through every aspect is just interesting!
I appreciate that a ton! Thank you!
royal rumbles in the background while sleeping 🐐
Hell yeah! Dante is now my favourite now that he considers 2001 as the best ever Royal Rumble ❤❤
Haha thank you!
Loving the solo vids, Keep it up Dante!
Thank you very much!
I love your videos, you're the best man , keep going ❤
Thank you so much ❤️
4:18 ok that was wild. When you said I hope your soda is tasting fine just as I took a sip of my Mountain Dew Baja Blast
🤣🤣
A low key important factor to rumbles is how many actual believable winners enter it. Some of the better rumbles are the ones that had more people you think can actually win.
The crazy thing about Royal Rumble matches is that it’s an hour long. The best hour of TV WWE can and will ever put together. Great start. Cool spots. But they can kill or ruin the whole thing by having the wrong winner
I have not watched every royal rumble. But I’ve seen all the matches since 2000. Good list. Gave me some rumbles to go back and watch. Agreed that Sheamus’s year was the midcard rumble. I wouldn’t have put 2008 in the goat though. Definitely excellent due to the return, but then the crowd turns on cena before he wins. Makes it a downer for me.
Excited to see where this channel goes! Wish the graphics were a little bigger would be my only criticism. Maybe have the graphic of the match you are talking about larger so we don’t forget what year you were talking about?
Like having the longer video too. Maybe next could be mania main events? Keep up the great content Dante!
I appreciate the feedback! Always looking to make improvements and make each video better. That’s a great idea too!
Royal Rumble season is my favorite season so I already love this video. I fall asleep most nights to wrestling related videos, adding this one to the rotation for sure!
Thank you so much!
Appreciate the video Dante... You had me confused with luger and Hogan im like i don't remember this 😅
My badddd lol
As someone who ask chat gbt top 5 royal rumbles i appreciate this video!
Here’s chats answer
Here’s a condensed list of the Top 5 Royal Rumbles:
1. Royal Rumble 1992 - Ric Flair’s Masterpiece: Flair’s 60-minute endurance and first-ever WWE Championship on the line make this unforgettable.
2. Royal Rumble 2001 - The Attitude Era’s Peak: A perfect blend of Austin’s third win, Kane’s dominance, and chaotic brawls.
3. Royal Rumble 2007 - Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels Finale: The final two showdown and the beginning of future legendary feuds.
4. Royal Rumble 2020 - Brock Lesnar’s Dominance & Drew McIntyre’s Rise: Lesnar’s elimination spree, McIntyre’s star-making moment, and Edge’s return.
5. Royal Rumble 2008 - Cena’s Shocking Return: Cena’s surprise return from injury and the explosive MSG crowd reaction.
I’d keep this list the same, but a case could be made for 2004’s memorable Benoit performance as it’s often considered one of the best individual Rumble runs.
Dante putting 92 in goat category he’ll yea
Royal rumbles from 2000-2010 were goated
Strong work Dante. Strong work.
Thank you!
Loved this video! My personal favorite rumble would have to be the 2018 or 2016. I loved the championship being defended and AJs debut was amazing. I’m also a sucker for both 2024 rumbles because I was there, so I have to be biased towards my first PLE. Keep up the great content!
Thank you so much!
this story is taking to damn long FUCKING THANK YOU!!!! it still is!
This is awesome!
Thank you!
I wish 2012 Rumble was better because I was there in person.
2008 was the best and you can’t tell me otherwise
Holy shit I didn’t know Dante had this channel. W recommend. Subbed boss 🫡
john has one too
Thank you so much! 🤘🏼

When you tweeted this I thought meant matches like individual matches lol I think umaga vs cena might’ be S tier match at a royal rumble
Brother that would be like 300 matches.
I think the Greatest Royal Rumble is the best one. It's right there in the name
🤣
I have a soft spot for the 2004 rumble as it was the first ever WWE ppv event I watched and really sparked my interest in wrestling. All time best I would say 2020 men’s. Glad I got to experience 2009 and 2024 rumbles live!
2020 is my favorite rumble
2007 is S tier just for the last 10 or so minutes alone with Taker and Shawn
Yeah but 90% of the match sucked
@ that’s just factually wrong
I was at 2018 and 2015 both deserve when they r it was fun booing Roman at 15 but some people were cheering and cheering the rock.
1995 I'm suprised you didn't mention the entries were 1 minute apart making the match almost too fast paced.
It was a very fast Rumble lol
By Luger I think you mean Sid justice lol
Yes I did 😭 my bad
Macho sure hated the rumble rules huh? He argues about being eliminated, skips out on 1 (91), immediately eliminates himself without knowing and goes for a pin. Maybe he's the smoker heh

Now that you’ve seen all these rumbles, whose the most rando random you saw in this experience?
Great question. Drew Carrey maybe?
2020 is still the best in my opinion.
This year has the potential to beat it, but we’ll see if it actually can…
I quite like 96 I'd have that in Good. 95 can go in Terrible 😂
The 2004 Royal Rumble Match from Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States was very predictable. Paul Heyman did not like Chris Benoit. Paul Heyman put Chris Benoit in a Handicap match featuring the Full Blooded Italians (Chuck Palumbo, Johnny Stamboli, and Nunzio) against Chris Benoit and John Cena on Smackdown. If Chris Benoit and John Cena won, Chris Benoit would get a spot in the 2004 Royal Rumble Match. Chris Benoit and John Cena won. Paul Heyman did not want Chris Benoit and John Cena to win, especially Chris Benoit. He accepted the fact that Chris Benoit won the handicap match and put Chris Benoit at number 1 so he would lose the 2004 Royal Rumble Match. Before the day of the 2004 Royal Rumble PPV, I knew Chris Benoit would win the 2004 Royal Rumble Match because why would WWE put so much storyline into Chris Benoit just to have him lose the 2004 Royal Rumble Match. It turned out I was right. That Royal Rumble Match bore the hell out of me.
24:47 AYO PAUSE 😭💀
👀😭
44:00 actually that royal rumble 2022 shane booked that mess not vince, vince got angry on shane then fired him lol 😂
Rightfully so 🤣
I’ll take average for the ‘95 Rumble!!! I legit thought you were gonna put it in either terrible or what’re we smoking?. Let’s see where ‘96 ranks…. I wish I could BUT I can’t disagree with you on ‘96 being terrible. I will always personally like it cause Shawn won but that doesn’t help that it’s still terrible. ‘07 hurts me still to this day cause I was sooooooo damn sure Shawn was gonna win and join Austin as the only other person to win 3 Rumbles but alas that was not to be. Btw the fact WWE had (or at least it appears that way) the foresight/long term booking to have HBK-Taker span ‘07, ‘08 and then ‘09 and ‘10 is one of the greatest storylines ever told and it all started at the ‘07 Rumble.
Most complete rumble was 2018 one...
2001 2002 2005 are significantly better
And 92
95 was terrible
Did well to get average
Oof this is long. Rumbles don’t start getting great until 2001. That stretch from 01 to 2010 is fantastic. One thing about the 01 Rumble, why was Nilly Gunn in the final four? Why wasn’t it Raker instead? That would have been the greatest final four ever.
I'm not an Austin fan, but he's the only person to win 3 rumbles. So that puts him ahead of shawn, in my opinion
Fair enough!
Everyone who boo'd Batista in 2014, should be booing Cena this year.
😳
@danteondeck Am I wrong? At least when Batista came back in 2014, he was actually there full time. Rock, Brock, Roman, all got hated for being part-time WWE champs. Now, people are dream booking a part-time champion
@danteondeck "it doesn't matter what your royal rumble rankings are" 😁
😭😭
