Favourite is 2000 as it was the first PPV I saw.
1999 is by far the worst.

While I haven’t seen them all, I can’t believe there’s been a worse one than 2015’s show. Not only do I think it’s easily the worst Rumble, it’s probably one of the worst booked matches in the company’s history.
They had one job. One. Give Reigns a strong win to prep him for a match with Lesnar. At the end of the match the only people who looked strong were Kane and Big Show. Remember this show took place in 2015, not 2005. Look at the list of names that took part and consider the amount of talent marginalization that made that a reality.
To put it in context, when you upset a live crowd so much that a surprise appearance from The Rock gets overwhelming boos, you have failed spectacularly.

Best - 92 Worst - 95 2000 was the last one I actually watched. Watched at the time or ever? Just curious, it seems like an odd match to miss if you're a fan, and the early 2000s had some of the best Rumbles of all time, 2001's my favourite. |

There are a lot of bad Rumbles but nothing felt more forced and terrible than 2015's absolute mess, and that's saying a lot. Every Rumble past like 2010 has felt lifeless in many ways.

1992 and 2002 are on a pedestal high above all the others.

It's hard to rank Rumbles, but I tend to favor Rumbles that let the ring fill up (1991 and 2008 come to mind as good examples of this). I hate Rumbles like 2002 where there are never more than 6 or so people in the ring at once. I am the opposite. I hate it when there are 8 or more in the ring at any time. However, I did enjoy the 2008 Rumble  |

I watched a ton of them in prep for the last one, I remember 1992 obviously being great, 2008 is awesome, the 2007 one has that killer HBK vs Taker ending.
I loved the 2016 one too, love that they gave Ambrose the ending of it, but the only thing I would've changed was had a few more guys in the ring when Roman was eliminated, just to replicate the epic moment from the 2009 Chamber when Cena got eliminated wuth Edge, Rey and Y2J remaining and everyone knew shit had just hit the fan.

Worst
1. 1995 - Full of guys who had no shot, one guy who had a shot (Owen) was immediately eliminated, and the best thing about it was King's commentary.
2. 1993 - Perfect vs Flair was good, the ending with Yoko launching Savage was impressive, talent wise it's loaded, but holy shit, all momentum it had was sucked into a black hole when Giant Gonzalez came out.
3. 1999 - Too much time where the ring's empty, and only 2 guys really mattered.
4. 2010 - Ring never really got full, and was just an all around disappointment, especially with how much I loved the previous year's Rumble.
5. 2015 - Just stomp on our hopes, WWE.
Best
1. 2001 - I loved this Rumble. Kane's run was incredible. Just fun from beginning to end.
2. 1992 - Like it needs to be explained.
3. 2009 - I loved that the ring filled up, I loved the spots like Orton going RKO crazy and Mysterio using eliminated wrestlers to stay in, was a fan of Legacy working together and not getting into a fight, Orton winning was the right call, and despite the fact that you knew that Orton was going to win, the booking and the story made you not give a shit that the outcome was obvious.
4. 1997 - This was all Austin. Him as the dominant guy was great, the showdown with Bret was perfect, and King added to the match when he entered, got eliminated, and went back to commentary like nothing happened.
5. 2000 - I needed a 5th one, but really it's between this one, 2007, and 2008.

'92 is the go-to on how to book a Rumble match. Absolutely spot on from start to finish

2001 is by far my favourite Rumble, it had a lot going on in it. The Hardyz teaming up, Drew Cary and Kane, the Hardcore fifteen minutes, Big Show's surprise return, Kane going ironman, Undertaker and Kane cleaning house, more build to Stone Cold vs Triple H, Kane setting a new eliminations record, foreshadowing of Austin vs Rock and the culmination of Stone Cold's return storyline.
I couldn't name a least favourite because I enjoy the Rumble every year. Maybe any Rumble that Chavo Guerrero was in.

2004 is my favorite mainly for Benoit. Y'all know my feelings about him by now and it was just a thrill to see him go from start to finish. The way he eliminated Show to win was brilliant too.

1992 probably my favorite. Really tough to pick a least favorite though as even the less popular ones still are fun. Maybe one of those recent three in a row that all got crapped on though.
I will that the 2010 one was really good and underrated though. Also, I have a soft spot for 1995 as they did the best they could with a lackluster roster (though Owen should have been in way longer).
