The first half of this one was terrible, no doubt, but the second was pretty fun.
I'd give it like a 5-6 overall so it's in the lower half of Rumbles but still above 1999/2015 by a decent margin

Maybe it's because it's fresh in my mind, but tonight was one of the most boring. 2015 was f***ing awful, but the 'it's like a train wreck' aspect of it made it fun to watch.

If you think tonight's was the worst, you haven't watched every Rumble match.

Yeah, I really don't think it's going to be topped for a good while if ever. The entirety of Lesnar's portion of the match doesn't even hold a candle to the Local Men Eliminate Everyone bit in the 2015 Rumble. Brock didn't dump people out like a babies shitty diaper He put f***ing torque and almost killed Morrison. The quick eliminations were trash but Brock wasn't lazily doing it plus you had fun moments but yeah 2015 f***ing sucked

They dropped people out like a sack of shit and looked horrible doing it and despite what people said... the crowd were not just salty Bryan wasn't going to win. Ryback, Dean, Dolph, and a host of other faces all got great reactions in the ring. Having Kane and Big Show systematically toss them out like sacks of garbage is what made them lose it even more. not to mention literally the only story told in the natch was "Roman Reigns" no one else came out looking good... none of the people that interacted lead to a match at mania... or anything like that. It was... Roman is going to Mania... that's it.

The local men were at their most local men-y, crowd favorites were treated like jobbers, and Roman Reigns was in the "complete backlash" phase of his superpush where not even The Rock could save him.
The 2014 Rumble I think also gets forgotten a bit in terms of how bad that one was, too.

Might not be the worst but tough to argue this wasn’t anything other than terrible

As bad as tonight was, still doesn't hold a candle to '99 and '15. 99 had Steve Austin
