I saw the 2006 Rumble for the first time yesterday, and it more or less motivated me to ask what people's least favorite Rumble is. Not seen all of them but rather inclined to say that one myself.

1995, simply for the minute-intervals and weak roster. Still, I always give WWE credit for experimenting that year. At least we now know what happens when the intervals only last 60 seconds.

I haven't seen too many Royal Rumbles in my lifetime, but the one that sticks out is 1999 in terms of worst one I have seen. I kind of want to dig out my recorded tape just to see it again for some odd reason. Anyway, the match itself wasn't that good. For starters, it was mainly built on the Austin/McMahon feud. We have them chasing each other through the crowd, through other parts of the arena, then out of the arena. Only for Droz to come out and wait for any other entrants to come out. Plus, the fact that Vince won. So yes, that was one of the worst rumbles.

2006 was just bad. Not just the match either, the entire card was "blarg."

1995 SUCKED. It was essentially Shawn Michaels, British Bulldog, Owen Hart, and 27 jobbers.

2006 bored me, but I did like the Roman Gladiator feel they were going for with the set. Cheesy but fun.

At least 1999 had some stories going on it with the bounty, McMahon getting beaten up, the mental asylum workers going after Kane, etc.
I can't remember anything from 1995 except for the finish.

1995
Weak ass Rumble roster and way too short.

1995 SUCKED. It was essentially Shawn Michaels, British Bulldog, Owen Hart, and 27 jobbers. That'd be my pick if it weren't for the kick-ass finish. My vote goes to 1999. That was just a mess. |

1999.
Jobbers were a plenty and Vince winning was a joke.

Close between 1995 and 1999, but one minute intervals trumps all. What a waste.

2003. Painfully obvious who was going to win that.

99 was the worst. Just terribly overbooked with too many deadspots where there was only one guy in the ring just standing around. 95, 02, 06 and last years were all pretty bad too but they all at least had a few bright spots.

Thread should have been: Worst Royal Rumble besides 2004.
2004 is automatically the worst, by far.

I thought the 1998 Rumble was full of crap. Half the roster was ECW style garbage wrestlers, no one with any actual talent for most of the first half of the rumble. The Godwinns, 8-Ball, DOA, all those guys that were trying SO hard to be some kind of cross between Austin and Kurt Cobain... It just does not hold up - and the announcing by King was terrible. It was so obvious Austin would win, and then they did the random 'no one showed up for number 22' spot but never told us who was supposed to go there. The only good things about it were Austin, Rock, and Foley. Everyone else, and I mean EVERYONE else, was total crap.
