Santi bhaiya (elder brother) do you think that WWE has some serious plans for INDUS SHER or for any of its members Or do you think we will see them doing some serious stuff at any stage I am from India and I really want to see these guys do well but I am starting to lose hopes waiting for your response please reply Love you

About the 2019 Becky Cringe RR win. She didn't *NEED* that win she was already *SO* over and that match at Mania with Ronda Rousey would have happened regardless. Also since when can s WWE superstar put themself in a Royal Rumble without any officials or GM or execs having a say??? never. Also also the *ONLY* reason why they main evented Mania that year was because of Ronda Rousey *NOT* Becky Cringe. Would i happen sooner or later ofcouse, but the *ONLY* reason it happended that year was because of Ronda Roousey - don't kid yourself. 2019 Should go into the *TRASH TRASH TRASH TRASH* category

[@RoadRunnerZL]

My opinion, even though it is 100% bias, Undertaker 2007 should be hall of fame. That was his first title win after he returned as the deadman after chasing the likes of JBL and Kurt Angle for the title and always getting screwed over. After the win he was kind of always in the title picture till he went part time in 2010. The people he was able to elevate with the title and put on banger after absolute banger was awesome. The likes of Batista, Edge, CM Punk, Kane and maybe not necessarily elevate but with Smackdown being the so called "B show" definitely made it worth watching for the following years. Hell the stories even took him to have those two classics at WM 25 and 26 if you think about it. HoF for sure.

[@MrSantiZap]

Sold me on this

[@tmac731]

Undertaker made that world heavy weight championship more prestigious than the wwe title. Edge Batista Undertaker from 2007-2008 was HOF story telling

[@optimus2008]

​@tmac731 I wouldn't say more, because 2007 Cena was an absolute beast, but he really boosted the Big Gold to the same level as the WWE Title.

[@tmac731]

@@optimus2008true, I only said it was more prestigious because I was a SmackDown guy. SmackDown v raw was still a thing on what brand is better and I’m picking Batista undertaker and that big gold belt. Raw was good but SmackDown was better imo

[@PancakeProduct]

Undertaker & Triple H made me prefer Smackdown to Raw. 2008-2010 I didn't miss a Smackdown.

[@Galaxyoshi]

Tozowa is gonna be above hall of fame when he comes in at number 1 and eliminates everyone in the mens and womens rumble. Then hits the tozowa tango after winning.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Facts bro

[@levy9595]

WE THE PEOPLE wont settle for anything less than Tozawa winning the Rumble via a record breaking 29 eliminations! Anything less simply wont do! Make our voices heard and get the message out so that WE THE PEOPLE can get what we want

[@ChiefOfTheTable]

You guys liked the rumble this year ?? I fs did !! Everyone was criticizing it bc there was no lesnar but I still really liked the 2024 royal rumble matches. Mens and Ladies rumble match.

[@fayazalam6919]

@@ChiefOfTheTable Nah, Cody Rhodes winning and setting up Cody vs Roman 2 is a little repetitive, especially with the way he ended up winning (eliminating Gunther in the final 3 again?). Although in hindsight, with the Rock returning, it’s an ok choice but if CM Punk never got injured and won the rumble that would have been better imo. Also Bayley winning while not even being on the cover of the ppv and shifting into irrelevancy following the win is quite annoying

2007 was the first Wreslemania season that I remember fully🔥John Cena vs Shawn Michaels, Batista vs. Undertaker, Umaga vs. Bobby Lashley. From Royal Rumble to Wreslemania probably the best build up they ever did

Taker vs Batista was NOT better than Cena vs Michales at Wrestlemania 23 😂.

[@user-sy5sy2np8r]

I totally agree with you about Taker vs Batista, Santi. It was a good story going in with the importance of the streak and Batista's popularity both rising massively at the time! Plus, it was a damn good match, especially given Takers reputation of his best matches normally being with light heavyweights. Big Dave knew what an honor it was, and REALLY brought it to Taker that day, too! VERY underrated streak match.

The 2020 royal rumble got me back into wrestling

This year’s Royal Rumble, which is only 8 days away as of commenting this, is gonna be the first PLE I ever attend and I could not be more excited. This is a childhood dream come true and I’ve got my hopes extremely high!

[@levy9595]

The only live WWE event ive ever attended was also a Royal Rumble. '08 at MSG. I got to see an absolutely legendary rumble capped off by the miraculous return of John Cena. It was an amazing experience ill never forget. Have fun man! My advice is to try and keep the phone down and truly immerse yourself in the atmosphere and take it all in

[@iLLiDaN30]

Not gonna lie, the 2004 Royal Rumble is still one of my most favorite ever. It was so well booked and written and is literally one of the only Rumbles where you were up to your feet until the very end, because you didn't knew who won. It made great storylines with Goldberg and Lesnar, Big Show actually looked more strong then ever and i really thought he would win, Orton getting the Legendkiller running with squash eliminating Foley and Benoit was the perfect winner at that time, which made him to one of the most favorite stars of many people and lifted him in the main event scene. It was a great Rumble and as you rightfully say, it shouldn't be erased by the books, only because Benoit won it.

[@billygreengus5337]

Thanks for uploading today. I would like to know your thoughts on the 90s royal rumble winners. Never change MrSantiZap!! keep being awesome.

[@perko.mp4]

Man, I miss when they used the Royal Rumble to put the new up and coming talent over and showcase them that this is the guy going forward. Felt like we haven’t had that for a long time now

[@Skip_Jaymz]

When the next rukble comes around you should just update this tier list with the previous rumbles 🤙 Also just given the volume of videos playlist might help general returning viewing in the long run One love keep up the work man 🤙

[@rickmiller4958]

05 Rumble (and 96) will always be a favorite of mine personally since I was there. In fact, I’m the guy in all white (wearing defunked Denver 15 throwback jersey) above Dave’s left bicep in the photo you used. Great memories

[@jfdrac]

In regards to Cena in 2013 totally agree and there actually was a way out...Simply have Cena not win and then win at EC ...but then you have to hurt Rock's ego by not having picked

[@jaywilliams4750]

I always like Batista winning the rumble in 2014. I wanted Randy Vs Batista. Thought there was a great full circle story

[@nightpop6309]

At this point, I feel like Santi has somethin against EDGE! He's 2010 win was amazing, and his 2021 win was purely LEGENDARY

[@Elias24696]

I personally would wanna see a ranking of the older Rumbles as well especially your opinion about the '99 one where Vince McMahon won😂 And of course the '92 one with the TEAR IN MY EYE!

[@Whitehotforever1_]

Bianca’s royal rumble win was such a great thing she had accomplished almost nothing before that but after that win she bloomed into a mega star

[@jedooo9891]

That’s why I’m surprised he only put Bianca’s as GREAT when she 100% should’ve been put in HALL OF FAME. After her victory against Sasha she literally became the face of the company. I think the Squash match at Summer Slam that year was stupid but it didn’t hurt her at all

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

@@jedooo9891haha no

[@TPinGenerator]

You should put Chris Benoit's royal rumble win in to the great list, because that created a great story-line for underdogs who could main event wrestle mania.

[@mebrownies6122]

While I sometimes might not entirely agree with the rankings, your reasonings keep me rooted firm and confident with the placements you give to them. Excellent video, Santi.

[@MrAhmed-dx5hw]

Make a video on who should've won every MITB briefcase.

[@DJDALESS2]

Random thought but The Undertaker is probably the most beloved superstar of all time. Any other mega star has some haters but absolutely everyone loves and respects the deadman

[@MuhammadRaiyan135]

I do think you should include wrestling before the time you started watching as well because its all part and parcel of what wrestling is. Alot of my favorite ever moments happened before I was even born! I think those moments deserve to be highlighted too

[@heelmoxley365]

(My bias, im 21) 1: John Cena (2008) 2: Drew McIntyre 3: Randy Orton (both) Honourable mentions: Rhea Ripley, Rey Mysterio, Shinsuke Nakamura

[@anxofernandez3344]

I think the big problem with the 2016 Rumble and the road to WrestleMania was that it was overbooked, but the match between HHH and Roman was underbookked, because the story called for a violent ending and. I remember it was announced as No DQ and then as a regular match, back to No DQ and eventually regular because Vince McMahon couldn't make up his mind. I think the title shouldn't have been defended in the Rumble. I think the original plan was different and it'd have been better. Roman would defend against the entire League of Nations and Triple H with Vince and Stephanie helping HHH. Lesnar would win the Rumble, Roman would be taken out, come back to get his rematch and eventually earn his spot after beating HHH.

[@jarrettmassia4970]

You just made a longer video of yesterdays🤣

[@TheJuiceAlert]

The Royal Rumble did absolutely nothing for Albert Del Rio???? Talk about a terrible take right there 😂. & no the WWE did not rush in promoting Del Rio. Lastly Del Rio had some great main event level matches from 2011 to 2013

[@Hiiigh_Yoshi]

Santi I love ur vids 😘

[@jfdrac]

From what I have heard that the plan for teh Rumble the year Rey won was I believe Eddie was going to win which is part of the reason for the pivot

[@mohammedsuhayl9190]

Del rio, Batista, Rey, Drew, orton and Nakamura are the best winners

[@kevinuchiha6830]

Forgot Undertaker and the dude who offed his family

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Del rio lol

[@arvindshastry1178]

22:38, Seth Rollins was injured at that time so we couldn't have gotten The Shield triple threat at WM 32.

[@Saltyoven]

Part of the reason people turned on Roman in 2015 was twofold. 1. Winning the rumble and being shotgunned into the main event after having only 1 singles match up to that point. The injury he got in 2014 really really doomed him. 2. End of 2014-start of 2015, they started to have him talk. And they were legitimately some of the worst promos anyone has seen in recent memory.

[@kalel13301]

One of my biggest gripes with WWE is not giving Nakamura the title. Especially vs Jinder freakin Mahal, who i held a grudge against until the other week. -Kalel.

[@qbincashion8058]

It should also be noted for the 2008 Cena rumble win that also brings it down is that he used his title opportunity at No way out instead of wrestlemania. Randy Orton gets himself disqualified in the match so he retains the title. Then Cena beats Randy Orton on an episode of raw I believe to get into the triple H and Orton match and make it a triple threat.

[@joshuaayres2593]

If Eddie Guerrero didn’t die in 05 I think Eddie would’ve won 2006 royal rumble. They did have plans for him to main event wrestlemania that year. But for obvious reasons that never happened so ofc they gonna give the victory to Rey mysterio. Who else

[@marks2807]

With Batista it was bad timing. Had he came back a year later after Guardians of the Galaxy came out it would have been the biggest pop of the night.

[@justinkongglang7080]

Also yes can you do old stuff as well we started watching at the same time i can be your encyclopedia

[@heelmoxley365]

You fix the Brock 22 win by just switching with Roman. Brock costs Roman the title (still being WWE champion.) The Tribal Chief music hits at #30 That’s a final boss right there. Also redemption for 2015, because the pop would have been incredible.

[@brandonmcbride5602]

If Eddie doesn’t die, and Batista doesn’t get hurt, pretty sure Orton wins rumble and challenges Batista at WM. Angle vs Undertaker would then have been at WM too instead of Henry.

[@ShadowFist13]

If you watch the footage, Cena's left foot never touched the floor.
