With the Royal Rumble taking place tonight, I thought we should think about all the previous fantastic Royal Rumbles that have taken place. What is your favourite?

I watched 1990's last night and the star power for the time was awesome, not to mention the pre-match promo marathon that always rocked. 1992's is also great, with Flair making everyone look good and Heenan/Monsoon's best commentary work ever. However, even with those 2 being the tits, 2004's rumble match is hands down the best of all the times.

I would say one of my favourites has to be the 2001 Royal Rumble match. I quite enjoyed Drew Carey's participation in the match and how it was all done. As well, I enjoyed the weapons used in the match like the bowling ball right in the groin. The way that Austin won (after being attacked earlier) was great too.

I agree, The 2001 RR was great. I really liked 1992 and 2002, as well.

It was even so obvious what to do and they even managed to screw up something simple like that.

But on a serious note :lol: Chris Benoit winning from #1 was fucking incredible. At the end when he eliminated big show with the front head lock was one of the all time grear moments. So 2004
