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

[@Generalbas1972]

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.

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

[@HeelSection3825]

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.

[@newJC.]

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

[@TJKerrell]

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

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

Cena and shawn had a wayy better match on a raw in the UK that Mania wasn’t even their best match so yea it was better

[@HaydenJolin]

Yes it was wtf Shawn stopped selling for cena

[@Lrx111]

That’s your opinion. I thought Batista and Taker was the MOTN of that Mania by far. Their match at Raw was much better than their mania match.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@BigBlakeTheTank]

I really wish Benoit wouldn’t have done what he did, we all do, but I just really wish he wouldn’t. And I wish we knew why he did it. He was such a star, the workhorse of the company, and he threw it all away, and took his poor wife and child with it.

[@jacobway468]

We know why

[@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.

[@TheJuiceAlert]

Undertaker has to be in the hall of fame category as a Royal Rumble winner.

[@Sweettooth1231]

Unrelated to the royal rumble season, but you should totally rank every undertaker streak match

[@TheJuiceAlert]

Sheamus winning the Royal Rumble was not bad. & him kicking Daniel Bryan’s butt so quickly at Mania 28 was brilliant!

Can you do a ranking of womens royal rumble matches itself.not many editions so that would be fine.... Same for mens

[@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

[@shadic1988]

The funny thing is WWE SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth had JR in-game say that The Undertaker had never won a Royal Rumble throughout his career (1990-2002). 5 years later and The Undertaker has now won a Royal Rumble

[@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

[@shush2230]

wouldve been cool having something like punk vs cena for the title at mania from cena winning ec and then couldve had rock vs undertaker which wouldve been very entertaining

[@jfdrac]

@@shush2230 Yup especially as that was one of those big mania type matches we never got and Taker faced some jabroni named CM pUNK INSTEAD LOL

[@markjagger2412]

So Brock Lesnar’s been arguably the best choice and the worst choice for a Royal Rumble win in his career. Could make a case for Batista there too minus the benefit of hindsight

[@ChillyGamerboy]

I miss Batista, he was one of my favorites growing up

[@MrMaicon27]

the John Cena 2008 changed his status from a WWE superstar to a worldwide superstar IMO

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

[@Jiarmani]

I would like to imagine Eddie would have won the 2006 rumble.

[@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.

[@arvindshastry1178]

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

[@Hereforwatch]

Sasha banks was the one who should win the Royal Rumble 2022,but they make Ronda return and win while she’s pregnant !! Now I don’t blame Sasha leaving this company 🫤

[@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.

[@cristacherobert3682]

Santi...2008 Cena won then at No Way Out 2008 he faced Orton for the title. HHH won the Elimination Chamber to get the opportunity at the title. Orton v Cena II happened on Raw with Hunter as the Special Ref. Cena wins then Triple Threat match happens. Cena's FIRST LOSS AT MANIA.

[@HockeyFan102]

Rey mysterio wasn’t supposed to win and someone said that, I forgot who but it was supposed to be Kurt angle I think or something like that

[@shush2230]

yeh if eddie never died wouldve been someone else who probably wouldve challenged for cenas title as it was rumoured eddie was going to win the title from batistas injury and defend it vs shawn michaels wrestlemania 22 which wouldve been such a classic

[@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.
