Retro Ups & Downs From WWE Royal Rumble 2005

[@derrickhaggard]

Retro-Ups-and-Downs suggestion: No Way Out 2001. Mostly because of the awesome war that was Stone Cold vs. HHH in the 3 Stages of Hell Match.

[@tequilapapii5936]

Simon that impression of Snitsky & Heidenrich’s conversation was spot on ! Lmaooo i am crying out loud. So much heavy breathing 😂 😭

I remember watching this live. I distinctly remember when Vince ended up tearing his quads, I knew something was wrong immediately and it didn't go to plan. My friend beside me thought the opposite - thought it was part of the show. This just goes to show that anything can happen live!

Recommendation : Wrestlemania 20! Where it all began... Again

[@TheKidMemo]

Wrestlemania 20 was the first one I was able to watch live, the Eddie / Angle match was amazing .

[@Funhaus_Ryan]

And 22. 22 was my favorite by far.

@@TheKidMemo It was my 3rd ever, I watched WM3 with my grandpa back in 87, then WM19 the year prior was the first one I ordered myself as an adult...which was a great purchase imo, to see Stone Colds last ever match

Kane Vs Undertaker was amazing.

Oh yeah, that one rumble where Vince McMahon tore both his quads, hahah. That moment lives rent free in my head, when I think about the 2005 Royal Rumble.

[@QUHerald]

Easily has to be the most hectic and unintentional endings to a Royal Rumble ever, but who better to have in this scenario than the two faces of the brands at the time?

Looking back today we got a great Wrestlemania moment to follow up this chaos.Makes it memorable!

I’m gonna keep suggesting it until it’s done: WCW Monday Nitro 4th January 1999, the Fingerpoke of Doom episode, and when they gave away Mankind’s title win on Raw the same night.

[@MAni04me]

[@Gevaudan1471]

McMahon botched that finish so hard. The cards aligned perfectly for a Cena vs Batista feud with the winner going to Mania. Instead of losing his mind Vince should have gone with the flow.

[@ultimakewl]

but both guys ended up going to mania to challenge for a world title. better solution would be both guys want to challenge jbl (cena because he hates jbl, batista cause hes still semi-loyal to triple h) so cena v batista gets set up at the next ppv with the winner getting to pick which title they want to challenge for and the loser taking the other then you keep all the fake jbl limo stuff from the original story, batista beats cena, finds out it was triple h all along and picks him boom done keeps most of the original plan, sets up both feuds with only 2-3 extra steps and one of those is a huge ppv main event for a B ppv

[@Mdgeist316]

I propose a new rule Simon: once a month you select the most liked non-WWE/F event to do an ups and down on.

[@samsational168]

The 2005 rumble final 4 is my favourite because a year later all 4 men won their first world titles. I know it doesn't feel like it now lol but back then it was a real glimpse at the future and one of the last times wwe built new stars.

Recommendation: WWE Monday Night Raw, Oct 10, 2011, the day that all the superstars and commentary team had started the night absent from the building due to a vote of no confidence of HHH. The show itself wasn't all that memorable, but the opening 20 minutes were pretty damn great.

Yes
