2000 for me, you had Tazz vs Kurt Angle, Hardyz/Dudleys table match and the HHH vs Cactus Jack streetfight.

2000 was probably the only year where the undercard was better than the Rumble itself (although this year also has a shot of doing that).

Hard to argue with 2000 overall I have to agree, although it did also have the hideous Mae Young bikini incident.

92.
1 The New Foundation (Owen Hart and Jim Neidhart) defeated The Orient Express (Tanaka and Kato) (with Mr. Fuji) Tag team match 17:18
2 Roddy Piper defeated The Mountie (c) (with Jimmy Hart) Singles match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship 05:22
3 The Beverly Brothers (Blake and Beau) (with The Genius) defeated The Bushwhackers (Luke and Butch) (with Jamison) Tag team match 14:56
4 The Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) (with Jimmy Hart) defeated Legion of Doom (Hawk and Animal) (c) by countout Tag team match for the WWF Tag Team Championship 09:24
When you consider the Rumble it self, and the commentary it could be argued That it's amongst the best PPVs The E ever did.

2001 is my favorite, with the Benoit/Jericho ladder match and Angle/Triple H in one of my favorite heel vs. heel matches ever.

2007 had the great Cena/Umaga match, a very good MNM/Hardys match and Batista/Kennedy was decent. I'd still go with 2000 but 2007 deserves a shout.

Macho clubbing Warrior over the head with the sceptre

2001, even with a 2-minute Chyna/Ivory match. Mainly because every match had a purpose.

For me the list is: 1 - 2000 - obvious choice but it's amazing up and down the card 2 - 2007 - Cena/Umaga is one of the best matches I've ever seen, and Batista vs Kennedy reminds me of a time when I was shouting for Kennedy to win whilst watching the PPV live 6 years ago. Brilliant. 3 - 2001 - Great throughout. 4 - 1992 - Fun as all hell tag team undercard. Beyond that, well, nothing stands out in the history of the PPV. |

Close call between 2000 and 2001. Nothing else has come close to those too IMO.

I thought the first match was good and the second was fun, but the other two were torture. I fully agree with you there. I actually don't even care for Piper's match that much, it was a nice moment and passable but nothing noteworthy. The latter two tag matches are absolutely awful though. |
