Best Royal Rumble ever?


In my opinion this was the best Royal rumble the WWE/F have ever done. So many things about the Rumble itself where just classic.

Drew Carey entering the rumble, then Kane entering the rumble, Drew trying to pay Kane so not to hurt him, Guys like Raven and Perry Saturn bringing in weapons turning it into a hardcore rumble for a while, then Kane gets angry and eliminates everyone using a trash can, then a totally unexpected appearance from the Honkey tonk man who brings his "geetar!" and try’s to get everyone to sing along with his theme tune, Kane grabing the guitar and smashing him on the head with it, Undertaker coming down on his bike and helping Kane out, a surprise appearance from the Big show who cleans house destroying everyone, Rock eliminating him only for show to drag The rock under the ropes and slamming him through the announce table, Austin getting busted open by Tripple H, the whole section of the Rock and Austin fighting each other and the fact it set the stage for Wrestlemania 17, one of the best Wrestlemanias ever.

The overall card itself was pretty good too, notable mention to the Y2J vs. Chris Benoit ladder match.

The only fly in the ointment IMO though is the Chyna vs. Ivory match simply because of the neck injury storyline that WWF did. It was obvious they where trying to play on the emotions that people had when Owen tragically died in the ring by making Jerry Lawler run to the ring and sound deadly serious later telling us how "this isn’t good JR...its just not good".


I think it’s the best rumble but RR’92 is a close second.

Anyone agree?

I think also that was the best royal rumble,but that was Kane that was deserving the victory for his good work not stone cold.

^Yeah I agree, I thought Kane should of won because of how he battled through so many people and got to the final.

Oh yeah, OVERALL the 2000 Royal Rumble is one of the best or THEE best one (I prefer 1991). You have the opening tables match, Cactus Jack vs. HHH in a killer fight, a decent but unspectacular Royal Rumble match (IMO), and the Miss Rumble Swimsuit contest (up until you-know-who comes out). YUCK.

I also like 2003 for Angle/Benoit alone, + the rumble, and 2001 for the rumble which is probably my favorite one, and the Jericho/Benoit ladder match.

In God WWE Trust
