Okay, here's the deal. Whenever we discuss the greatest and most memorable Royal Rumble eliminations, three answers come up more often than others. Those three are:
2000: Taka Michinoku
2002: Maven/Undertaker
2005: Paul London/Snitsky
Technically, Taka's elimination shouldn't count since he wasn't even in the Rumble. But let's consider the other two. Is it safe to officially say that, at least within these forums, that Maven/Undertaker and Paul London/Snitsky are the two greatest or most memorable Royal Rumble eliminations ever?
And if not, than what other eliminations could even compare?
*Edit*
And to clarify my question, I'm not asking for anyone's personal favorite Rumble elimination. Let's pretend wwe.com was actually compiling a list of most memorable Royal Rumble eliminations. Which would you expect to be No. 1 or No. 2?

2011's elimination of Santino Marella.....if only for that briefest of moments when you thought and hoped against hope that he'd in the whole damn thing.

I'll give you Maven/Undertaker, but there's got to be an elimination better than London/Snitsky, though I can't think of one at the moment.

Shawn tossing Bulldog in 95(?) and everything surrounding that giving us the two feet rule could be in there but, yeah those seem to get the most love.

Sid being eliminated by Hogan via Hogan being a complete dickwad has to be up there.

Maven/Taker would deserve to be up there but, I don't know that they'd show it. They'd probably have Rock/Big Show in there as well. |

Taka's is definitely memorable albeit not for the good reason. Though technically in the year that happened (2000) he wasn't even in the Rumble so I can't really count it as an elimination.
And what's I get for not reading the first post more thoroughly.

For me the most memorable might be Savage/Yokozuna at Royal Rumble 1993. Randy Savage you were the best but you should've known after all those Rumbles that you can't win it by pinfall.

Here's another one:
Austin eliminating Bret Hart after being eliminated himself, but the refs not seeing it.

Shawn Stasiak should have been in the 2002 Rumble. His elimination would have been the best.

My Top 2:
- Maven eliminating Undertaker cause who the hell saw that coming?
- Everyone surrounding Muhammad Hassan and just tossing him out, even the heels

Santino getting kicked out in 2009.
He comes down to the ring all intense and ready to go, only to get eliminated as soon as he gets into the ring. He then yells "I WASN'T READY" in the most convincing tone possible after making a big scene like he was prepared coming down to the ring.
Hilarious.
