TIER LIST: WWE Royal Rumble Winners

[@chaosstarkiller5947]

How about Undertaker’s mania matches next?

[@AdyBooth]

they'd either fall bracket of good or bad.... no in between

[@dbone3356]

Giant Gonzales... Get in the bin.

[@KingsNerdCave]

I think it's do-able. A lot would be in the bottom 2 categories sadly. And then like 7 or 8 matches would be in the top 2 most likely.

[@doctorsuave]

They’ve done it, Gary!

[@klustrphukP90]

This is the Gary KZbin content I love.

[@justinrussomusic661]

[@GameReviewsXX]

This man has been chosen by Cultaholic. All hail thee.

[@solisto]

Hurricane trying to chokeslam HHH and Austin is probably my favorite RR moment.

[@rhettboy1]

Highlight of the 94 Rumble. Not the match, Owen’s interview: “AND THATS WHY I KICKED YOUR LEG OUT OF YOUR LEG!”

[@edwardlayer4259]

Did it change very quickly from ranking the winners, to ranking the rumbles?

[@michaelrivera765]

Seems that way. Taker, and Benoit should be in the best.

[@kingdangoz1771]

Ranking the winners is about everything to do with the Rumble they won. How well the Rumble itself went, the impact after the fact, everything.

[@kingdangoz1771]

Because it’s more about the package as a whole than the winner themselves. Just like everything in wrestling, the wrestler is a very small part of it.

[@ingaspingas7853]

edward layer I think so... listen to Jack at 29:59

[@codycurry52]

No, they're supposed to be ranking the winners. They messed up part of they way though and changed the criteria. And ranked the matches as a whole and the aftermath.

[@wrestlinggod4105]

came here to say the same thing. Also the capital is Regina, pronounced so it rhymes with a word that starts with a V

[@littleratfella6857]

Neither of those are real places

Saskatoon is beautiful. Regina though, a bit sketchy...

[@calgarychampionshipwrestli4814]

Kush Money tbh Regina isn’t that bad

[@kiralante2199]

update from the 2020 Rumble: Drew McIntyre is the best! and Charlotte is alright, in terms of Rumble winners

[@codeword632]

Drew is not better then Flair or Benoit or Rey's rumble performances he may be lovely but Flair,Benoit and Rey lasted over an hour and won the thing Drew lasted 37 minutes yes but that is still not an hour

[@johnathanr7928]

Yes I agree

[@weezersthebluealbum9479]

Charlotte is Get in the Bin, at a time when the company is completely lacking women’s stars outside of the Four Horsemen, to push arguably the least captivating out of all of them still boggles my mind now.

[@vb2388]

2020 Royal Rumble was the best rumble since 2010...imo Weirdly Edge returned back in both of these rumbles..

[@Deano131UK]

"It had really been hyped up by New Japan fans" Nah, that poor AJ Vs Nakamura WM match was down to whoever produced it. Let's not try to shift the blame.

[@spongebobroundpants4378]

It was the motn

[@angelcanez4426]

That's what I thought just let them go do what they already did at wrestle kingdom, which is pretty much new Japan's WrestleMania you had a template of what could have been

[@switchblade6]

Agreed. It's nobody's fault but the bookers. Just let them have a goddamn match.

[@andrewohara1783]

"Hot potato, hot potato, hot potato..." Did Ross just toss out a Wiggles reference?

There were two ways "Pat Patterson, who allegedly" could have gone and I wasn't ready for either of them to be honest

[@joeyjergo6754]

Never forget that in the '05 Rumble, Daniel Puder got absolutely lit up with endless chops by Benoit, Hardcore Holly, and Eddie Guerrero. 🤚🤚

[@calvin8370]

I heard somewhere that that wasn't staged and they all agreed before the match to fuck him up just because they didn't like him 💀

[@jeyrascall2062]

@@calvin8370 it might of been because of his kamura on kurt angel when he was doing tht challenge....could of broke his arm

[@MikeWilsonBarrett]

That was legit payback for Puder disrespecting Angle a few weeks before.

[@scoobysnacks6548]

@@MikeWilsonBarrett by disrespecting do you mean angle going off script and challenging him to a wrestle and then puder actually winning

[@pawekopystynski899]

I think you were very generous for 2-3 Rumbles (Rumble winners) by putting them in the Lovely tier, but generally you did a very nice and accurate ranking with many interesting comments.

[@ethanrogers1303]

I couldn’t take it seriously anymore after 04 and 07 weren’t put in the best. Goofy.

7:55 yeah Savage had a good match with Flair at 8 but he had an even better match with Warrior at 7.

[@ryanmalinowski7529]

What the hell??? You guys forgot the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia! Where would you rank that one????

[@HasnainM1K]

that shouldn't count.

[@WhelmedButReady]

As far as I'm concerned, that match never existed. Titus just took a plane ride to Saudi Arabia and ran down a big ramp and tried to kill himself

[@Isaiah_Scroggins]

RedLightning17 😂😂

[@ThatGuyHelm]

@@WhelmedButReady God Tier rumble just for that moment. Everything else about that PPV was an utter shambles

[@tashrif46]

53:00 I mean the 2014 is also memorable of the last in ring sighting of CM Punk from the No. 1 spot

[@Supasneaky]

1988 Rumble Ross: I haven't seen this in a while I don't remember much 1989 Rumble Ross: I haven't seen this in a while I don't remember much ... Repeat Repeat Repeat ... 1999 Rumble Ross: I haven't seen this in a while I don't remember much 2013 Rumble Ross: I haven't seen this in a while I don't remember much Probably should've looked into them a little more before doing this? Just a thought. Good list though.

[@tashrif46]

29:56 2003 was great, led to two of the best Wrestlemania matches of all time. The Undertaker returned which people tend to forget that he was gone after No Mercy 2002 and the pop he got was massive

[@saief3213]

I love how respectful they are with each other

[@FGHHJazz]

I saw the notification and audibly went "yes", always love a good tier list.

[@Pendarr]

22:52 those guys in the front row in 1999 were the best. I rewinded to watch them dancing to Gangrel’s theme many times lol

[@5fing3rD3athPunch]

Rick Martel 91 rumble is the 1st truly great rumble performance imo

[@kaylamoonshoes]

0:10 Jack is Ross... Ross is Jack... What is real anymore?

[@robertbarrow8383]

You guys should do a tier list for Tag Teams!

[@Endspiel81]

92 was my first ever rumble and its still my favorite by a country mile. class of its own imo.

[@DarMander707]

Favorite game is put closed captioning during British KZbin videos. Priceless

[@Chacaron520]

Pete Doon for 2020 Rumble Winner. Because he likes to" 'urt peeple"

[@tashrif46]

25:21 for me in terms of star power and the sheer storytelling of Austin winning after all the roadblocks from November 1999 was just pure gold

[@Hashtonkusher1]

The chris Benoit one is one of the best that's the one where paul Heyman was making it hard for him to get a title shot sp he jump ships. That was the 1st time a superstar jumped shows

[@jtp2007]

Sid was a great main heel when given the chance and matched with the right wrestler. His match with Michaels at the 1997 rumble was really good.

[@AwbeeX57]

Love the vid guys like usual, I was making some content myself when i found out the way to fix the blurry text (atleast for me with my software) Increasing the font but decreasing the pixel aspect ratio should do it! Keep it up guys you're maybe almost as good as Going in RAW! :P

[@Squire95]

2020 Royal Rumble Update to the Tier: Charlotte Flair - Get In The Bin Drew McIntyre - Lovely. Lovely. Lovely.

[@Strangepete]

36:34 yeah it did happen, Taker finally confirmed it on the Broken Skull Sessions podcast

[@Kitsune-Chaos]

"It's Christmas." Ross' excuse for anything all year long. xD

[@iamgoat5863]

Ross: Move Terry!!! Hogan: *THAT DOESN'T WORK WITH ME BROTHER!!!*

[@tashrif46]

39:29 2008 was great. The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels started right where they left off from 2007, then Piper and Snuka moment, Triple H at a rampage, the John Cena return and the huge pop and the final 3 of Batista, Triple H and John Cena

[@xavierwashington5408]

Fun fact Jerry Lawler debuted in the 1993 Royal Rumble, during the famous McMemphis feud, where Vince was a heel in USWA but a face in WWF and vice versa for Jerry, when he entered, it was a nice wave of boos

[@stephensandridge3784]

Savage / Warrior "Retirement Match" was at WM7. That had the Macho / Liz reunion which was the best moment of the otherwise subpar show.

[@goldenhydreigon4727]

The ONLY good part about the 2017 Rumble was Corbin eliminating Strowman

[@muhammadasad729]

The only good thing about that Rumble was the sequence. Final 4: Orton, Reigns, Wyatt, Jericho I mean. It could've been worse. Could've been. Reigns, Undertaker, Goldberg, Lesnar

[@lampini]

I thought the 1995 rumble was very well booked because this was a time where the roster was at its thinnest but they were smart in keeping Shawn and Davey boy in the entire match. That way there always felt like there was star power and the wrestler every 60 seconds was a good concept to hide the limitations of the roster as well

[@AfroCharlieable]

“Bald men bleed well” “Yep, that’s the rule” This was a sweet and cute moment

[@nic3163]

Hahaha the best Adam is back. Remember SUPPORT WRESLTE TALK

[@MapleSyrupMamma]

I think the 40 man rumble was a good concept. But it was mainly there for the nexus. It's a possibility to bring it back. To give more superstars an opportunity at the rumble.

[@LordRaptor]

I'd say put Beck Lynch's win at Just About Bearable, Triple H's 2016 win at Get In The Bin and you got yourself the proper tier list.

[@tashrif46]

31:30 some highlights would be the Chris Benoit at No. 1 Randy Orton and Mick Foley rivalry The Undertaker starts his Deadman mind games on Kane Goldberg and Lesnar officially start their feud Then the whole John Cena and Big Show angle

[@tashrif46]

1:07:08 I actually prefer the 2019 Royal Rumble to the 2018 one for the Women's match. The 2019 they showcased the present and the future while 2018 was more about the first and nostalgia act for me

[@juliovelazco5774]

I remember as a kid, watching Hogan take on Yokozuna at the end of Mania.... At the time, I was a lifelong Hogan fan. but watching him beat Yoko in suck a weird way after HE beat Hart, all I can remember was feeling like 'Of great, Hogan's back for another couple of years" since his reigns lasted years which coincidenced with the end of his contacts. It was already weird enough having a main event scene without Hogan, but for him to randomly pop back up, made it even more confusing....

[@casper5523]

These are the only tier videos I watch

[@sayheyguy]

For this year's rumbles I would rank the women's match in the Alright tier and the men's match in The Best tier.

[@Kushagrakapoor619]

92,01,07,10&18 are top tier imo

[@AndrewCARNBORN]

Thank you for not acknowledging the Greatest Rumble

[@bAd12cheZ]

Ain't no Tier List like a Ross Tweddell Tier List cuz a Ross Tweddell Tier List has *the bin*

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

Luger and Warrior were sort of of a kind: bodybuilders who had a real distaste for interacting with the public. Which can work, if you make it part of their character (Lesnar), but Luger kept being pushed front-and-center, cutting promos and doing media appearances. And Warrior had such a fundamental misunderstanding of people, he to be coached how to apologize to a child by Vince McMahon.

[@jonnyralston5299]

Aye ross!! Royal Rumble was also my first ppv when i started watching wrestling again, made me love it again tbh

[@jonnyralston5299]

The last moments of the match with jericho slapping sheamus and him getting so pissed off was amazing

[@ConstantSorrow]

This seemed to be more a rating of a Rumbles match than the Winner at times.

[@samuelroach8335]

Constant Sorrow I mean if they didn’t rate the match including the aftermath, most of the winners they would be in the best.

[@dravens8337]

Sometime in the future id enjoy seeing a breakdown of how the final four of each rumble ended up doing in their careers.

[@jonnyralston5299]

Even though 97 didn’t lead to a championship match for Austin, his match with Bret was such a huge defining moment for him that I think it was almost better than a title match.

[@tashrif46]

42:41 that was the greatest Pro Wrestling match of all time. Or its in the conversation. The storytelling, the drama, the investment of the crowd. The Undertaker v Shawn Michaels at 25 is the best. Shame that the 26 match was hampered by the injury to Taker, because it actually had a more compelling story

I was a hulkamaniac back in 93 (ten years old) and I didn’t buy the end of Mania 9. I watched it live with my Dad and It actually turned me on Hogan. I remember as a kid thinking that it made no sense. Really, it was the first time I questioned booking.

[@tashrif46]

27:29 the only thing I didn't like about the 2002 Royal Rumble is when they hyped the Big Evil Undertaker to be such a threat only to be eliminated early by Maven. But its the first Rumble I ever watched, so it will always have a soft spot, plus HHH looked like a 1000 bucks

[@grandmasterchris9666]

2016 is a top 5 for me. Also, 2012-14 weren't bad. Far from the best but not bad. In fact, most rumbles have been pretty good to great. The only truly bad ones I can think of are 93, 99, and 2015.

[@jgravey]

'13 was also when Ryback was at his peak and was last eliminated by Cena

[@muhammadasad729]

I think this Rumble would've been rank higher if the main event of Wrestlemania was Cena vs Rock vs Punk.

[@joshbygosh]

Jack earned some big points with me by saying the 1990 Rumble is better than 1992. I couldn't agree more. 1990 is my favorite of all time. The 1991 Rumble deserves way more love on the list though to me.

[@mxtt8899]

[@PicoPlaytime]

For such an accomplished wrestler, Roman Reigns' move set is appalling.

[@deebow_fat]

I would put the Del Rio win in the bin. Hindsight is 20/20 and nobody knew that was going to be Edge's last match before his early retirement. But honestly, they should have had Christian win. He was coming back from injury. The fans were behind him for the most part. And a Christian vs Edge match at WM for the World Title would have been a hell of a moment. On top of that, despite WWE trying to push him as a big deal, Del Rio just wasn't clicking with the crowd.

[@damiensmith28]

1999 is with 1993 in the 'Get in th Bin' Category because.... Michael Cole kept going 'Hey King That's your pick'........ 3 picks King had in 1999..... STEVE BLACKMAN, GANGREL AND ..... TEST!!!!!
