Well with the Royal Rumble only a little bit away, it's time to ask you what is your favorite Royal Rumble, but this time we're doing a twist.

Favorite Royal Rumble PPV and also your Favorite Royal Rumble Match. Now I need to do a bit of reviewing and will go over a few of the PPV's and figure it out. I got a few I know I like 1994, 1995, 1998 but I want to check out a few more and I'll give my full opinion then.

I have three favorites: 1992 (Flair), 2002 (Triple H) and 2004 (Benoit). Overall as a PPV my favorite of the bunch is without a doubt 2004 since it had a killer Last Man Standing match between HHH and HBK, my favorite feud of all time. 1992 had the unique factor of actually being for the WWF championship which makes it feel really special and Flair's promo afterwards in the back was perfect. Benoit's Rumble win was super emotional and just perfect. I haven't watched 2002 or 2004 in a few years, used to watch them annually with my friend who loves Rumbles but I think 2002 would be my favorite overall Rumble match.

I really liked the 2007 Rumble with Taker and HBK as the last two.

It was amazing seeing two legends in the final two. I marked out when Taker sat up and HBK one after each other.

1990 is the best overall Rumble by a slight margin over 1992. The pre-match interviews for '90 are awesome and the Hogan/Warrior moment cannot be beat. However, Flair in '92 is great, I just get annoyed at Hogan stealing Sid's spotlight like the dick that he is.

Really enjoyed 2004/5, recent ones have been lacking a bit (although 2012 was awesome purely for mark out moments).

Because stone cold and Vince McMahon, who were 1st and 2nd, didn't get eliminated until the end, when Vince eliminated Stone cold.

Why is that? Any particular reason why that was your favourite Rumble?

Because stobe cold and Vince, who were 1st and 2nd, managed to get through the entire rumble without being eliminated. That was until Vince eliminated Stone Cold at tge very end.

Just realised this was a bit vague. These are my favourite Royal Rumble matches.

As for entire shows, man 2007 is tough to beat. The rumble match is a bit average minus the last portion when it gets down to 4, but the rest of card, holy shit. You got the Cena/Umaga classic LMS, the Hardys/MNM tag match that's legit one of the best WWE tag matches of the last 10 years, and Batista/Kennedy is pretty darn good to boot too.

The only downside is Lashley/Test, but we can forget that ever happened.
