The RR has created a lot of great moments, but my fav was the 1995 RR, when everyone thought the Bulldog won, but both of HBK's feet did not hit the floor, and he eliminated the BB during his celebration.
Honorable mention to Ric Flair's post Rumble promo in 1993.

Probably Maven/Taker in 2002 still wins it for me. Just a genuinely surprising moment. On that note while I was really sick of Cena at the time his return in 2008 was again genuinely surprising. |

The ones most people end up saying:
Ax and Smash as the first two guys in the ring.
The 1990 Rumble's back and forth face/heel dynamic throughout the match.
Heenan and Monsoon's commentary during the 1992 Rumble.
Flair winning the title.
Austin cheating to victory in 1997.
Cactus Jack/Dude Love/Mankind in 1998.
Kane's performance throughout the 2001 Rumble.
Maven and the Undertaker in 2002.
Benoit eliminating the Big Show (yeah, it's tainted now because of what Benoit did, but it's still a good spot).
The cluster of an ending at the 2005 Rumble.
The mini-match between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker in 2007.
And my memory gets a bit hazy after that.

Santino being forgotten about and coming back in the ring after Alberto thought the match was over. I was genuinely jumping out of my chair thinking he was going to win. Such a great moment

Santino vs. HBK/Taker
Santino's near win
Kane eliminating Santino in record time
One of the Bushwhacker's marching in, getting thrown right out, then marching on to the back like nothing happened.
The Hurricane in 2002 trying to double chokeslam Austin and HHH.

Foley/Orton brawl 2004
Eddie, Benoit and especially Holly stiffing the hell out of poor rookie Puder/SD vs Raw mini showdown/Mohamed Hassan hate/The Kickass Shawn and Angle confrontation, elimination and brawl/London getting knocked the f*** out by Snitsky in a spectacular shooting star pressesc elimination/Epic final 4 in Batista vs Rey vs Edge vs Cena/Final 2 double elimination/Vince tearing both his quads. ALL IN ONE RUMBLE! That's why I rate this Rumble so high so many mark out moments.
There are many from 2001 as well which alas like 2004/05 means I rate it very highly, but I can't be arsed doing a list again haha

1997, Austin has cleaned house and is sat on the top rope waiting for next competitor. Countdown complete and Bret Hart's music hits, leading to a great visual of an 'oh shit' look on Austin's face. Brilliant yet simple storytelling

When the WWE roster showed Mohammed Hassan that he was wrong for saying everyone was prejudiced against him by ganging up on him 8 on 1 and eliminating him.

Santino being forgotten about and coming back in the ring after Alberto thought the match was over. I was genuinely jumping out of my chair thinking he was going to win. Such a great moment It's funny, I was watching it with my friend and we both got excited and started pointing and screaming. The prospect of Santino winning got us insanely excited, which is ridiculous in retrospect 'cuz there's no way Santino is going to win the Royal Rumble. Santino marks? Or do we just hate Del Rio that much? You tell me. |

Taker smashing Maven's bloody face into a popcorn machine and then eating a big handful of popcorn is one of the best comedy moments in wrestling history. |

The Piper/Snuka showdown in MSG in 2008. My first wrestling memory is watching the infamous Pit segment between the two, so it was like my whole wrestling fandom coming full circle at that moment.

My brain: Don't say topless Mae Young. Don't say topless Mae Young.
Topless Mae Young.
My brain: "That's it I'm out of here."
