Confession: I love battle royals. They're my favorite kind of match. If I could only buy one PPV a year, it would be the Royal Rumble.
They have so many great parts:
--Quick eliminations
--People in against people they normally wouldn't face.
--Long battles that make it feel like a regular match. The ending to this year's Rumble is a great example. It was awesome.
--The "Get the fat guy!" spot.
--The person who lasts longer than you expect.
and much more.
So, I thought we could have an official thread of the numerous battle royals on this dump truck we call the internet. So here is a few I've found:

Tag Team Battle Royal: Superstars 1991
Teams: Demolition, Nasty Boys, The Rockers, Legion of Doom, Power & Glory, The Bushwackers, and The Orient Express
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fxQ4X7jXzE
Number 30 Over the Top Rope Challenge
People: Goldberg, Mark Henry, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Booker T, and Rob Van Dam
Note: Look for Teddy Long supported his man Henry. Also, Goldberg's spear on Randy Orton just looks...painful.

World War 3
1996 Version. Some bad quality.
World War 3 was an interesting idea and had the "Anyone can win" feel of the rumble x2.
I mean, Regal lasts a long time and then it takes 3 nWo members to eliminate him. It makes him look good...in my opinion.

Stampede Battle Royal
$5000 on the line! It features:
Andre the Giant, Hercules Ayala, Mr. Sakarada, Mr. Ito, Bruce Hart, Keith Hart, Big Daddy Ritter aka Junkyard Dog, Jerry Morrow, Barabbas, and four others I didn't catch their name.
I know there is more, but that is all I have on hand right now.
Anyone want to add some...or discuss the ones I put-up?
