Of all the WWE events, the Royal Rumble is probably my favorite. While Wrestlemania usually has more quality, the Royal Rumble is usually the most fun. Since it's almost that time of year again, I thought I'd do a "Rumble" themed article.
So, I've written a list of what some might call "awards" and chosen the superstar most worthy. As an extra treat, I thought I'd give you my predictions for this year's Rumble.
Best Royal Rumble Match of All Time
No. 3: Royal Rumble 2008
The most recent one combined what makes a rumble match great —it was fun (Piper and Snuka), had WOW moments (Benjamin jumping straight from the ring onto the top turnbuckle), and had a great finish. The only Royal Rumble where I bought the DVD just because of the match itself.
No. 2: Royal Rumble 1993
Occurring a year before I was born, so I've only seen it on videos and YouTube. Back when Flair was “the man,” he managed to last 59 minutes and 26 seconds. The match was star packed and had one of the best finishes to date, with Hogan and Flair teaming up on Sid Vicious.
No. 1: Royal Rumble 2000
BRILLIANT, one of my all-time favorite matches and was one of few Rumbles that backed up by the rest of the card (RR 2000 is my favorite PPV of all time). It contained, in my opinion, the two funniest WWE (or WWF as it was back then) moments.
I can still see the blood stains from Cactus v HHH and I couldn't help but laugh when Too Cool were dancing and Rikishi threw his teammates out of the ring. Then, they started dancing again. When Funaki and Taka, whatever his name is, kept running in to fight until Taka was launched over the ropes and landed on his face. OUCH! All of this plus Chyna, Jericho, the Rock winning, and my favorite Kane Royal Rumble appearance make this the best rumble match of all time.
Greatest Elimination
Paul London by Gene Snitsky
Paul London is thrown over the ropes, but holds onto the apron. You just know Snitsky is going to charge at him and London will duck and throw Snitsky out. Well, Sntisky did charge at him and London did duck, however London ran at Snitsky and was hit by a monster of a clothesline. This caused him to do a shooting star press type thing off the apron and go face first onto the floor.

Greatest Royal Rumble Appearance
1995 Shawn Michaels
Sorry Benoit (well, not really), but HBK beat you to it. The Rumble lasted 45 minutes. The fact that he entered as No.1 and managed to win it was just unbelievable. He deserves this award.
Greatest Royal Rumble “Final 2”
No. 3: 1999 Vince McMahon v Stone Cold
How could it happen? WWE's leading face, Stone Cold, entered at No. 1. He dominated the entire Rumble and then Vince McMahon, out of nowhere stole the win, amazing.
No. 2: 2007 HBK v Undertaker
