The attitude era had conditioned crowds to be lukewarm on the old gimmicks, unless they had been "reinvented" in the attitude era. That crowd remembered Bob at his best, as an absolute madman in the mid 90s. Immediately became Kurt Angle's manager 😂
The thing is I thought the 2002 Royal Rumble returns of Val Venis and The Godfather were good, the problem was that they were totally overshadowed by the returns of *Goldust* and *Mr.Perfect*
Idk if this will be on here but I’m sure it will… but anyways I remember as a kid renting the royal rumble 2001 on VHS all the time and always being so confused about who tf Haku was
Haku was in WWF/WWE from 1986 to 1992 working in singles or tag team action he was in quite a few pay per views and was even tag team champion woth Andre The Giant from November 1989 until they lost the titles to Demolition at Wrestlemania 6 in April 1990 .
If Wright had come back as Papa Shango, I would have lost my shit. And years later when I learned that there WERE plans to bring the character back, it was clearly even more of a lost opportunity.
How do you have some entrants that lasted 2 minutes and a couple others that lasted over 20 minutes making it to the final 4? Sheamus and RVD shouldn’t be on this list
There needs to be an updated listing for the Worst To Best Elimination Chamber matches, i feel the majority of the lidt wouldn't be the same as it was 6 years later.
Speaking of 2014 Royal Rumble, Kevin Nash returned as Diesel, and I don't think anyone ever talked about it. I also don't remember the crowd being interested in the slightest.
Pre-right to censor Val Venis was hilarious. Not the best in the ring, but alright. He was more a character, same as the Godfather. It seems like Right to Censor destroyed them.
Yes and I remember a 6 man tag match with The Brothers of Destruction and D'Von Dudley vs Christian , Haku and Rikishi . During the match Kane and D'Von did " Wassup " on Christian and the look on Undertaker's face was like WTF . This match is on RUclips .
Val venis had a great look though..he needed a decent gimmick.....they gave him a lower card gimmick..ofcourse a cornstar won't headline Wrestlelamania or win a world title
Val Venis was brilliant in late 2002-mid 2003 as Chief Morley. Then because of his reputation they ended the gimmick and he went back to being an unpushed babyface. Was a good worker in his day with main event potential.
Owen Hart didn't stand a chance in 1995 because he was jumped by Bret Hart , after Owen had interfered in the WWF title match earlier , when Owen did get in the ring he was eliminated in 3 seconds by British Bulldog .
Backlund’s return is constantly featured on Rumble return videos. Him being on the list at all, especially at 1, is crazy.
He received a decent pop from the MSG crowd too. I marked for it at the time.

Yeah, even as an eight year old, watching the 93 rumble, I was like "God, how is he still in?"
meh Backlund having a short run isn't unheard of. Remember when he lost the title to Diesel in 10 seconds?
The fact that RVD entered his 4th Rumble at number 20 is actually hilarious.
And lasted 24 minutes. Also a sum of 420 😂
just because he was busted for weed?
@@arleneconverse1238 check your math
A very out of season rumble video. I'm here for it
Royal Rumble video in November? This is like playing Mariah Carey in August!
😮you have awoken her
😂
They want the list to also be forgotten
Very meta
Don't. Say. HER NAME.
Next month is December and after December is January so we're basically there
The thing is I thought the 2002 Royal Rumble returns of Val Venis and The Godfather were good, the problem was that they were totally overshadowed by the returns of *Goldust* and *Mr.Perfect*
The royal rumble 2002 was the first ppl I watched live
PPV or PLE?
@marvelsProtege ppv
Back in my day they were PPVs!
That rumble had a ton of returns
That better had a 4 before that 20 made me chuckle 😂

That sticky mention was slick im ngl 😂
I still think the first ever Women's Royal Rumble from 2018 is the best one out of all the women's rumbles
I Remember all these excellent wrestler
Hope Bob Backlund is still training with the pair of Persian Clubs Iron Shiek gave him.
Backlund was in the 1994 , 1995 and 1996 Rumbles as well he didn't last long in 1994 or 1995 and was the first man eliminated in 1996 .
yeah but he was a member of the roster during those years in 2000 he wasn't
When are you going to rank every royal rumble elimination from worst to best?
Mark Henry in 2017. I had forgotten he had even retired and hadn't been around, so I didn't even register it as a surprise lol
THINK ABOUT THIS:
The 1st rumble winner got eliminated by the future most recent rumble winner! That may never happen again!
I’ve seen all from 1980-Now what a life of wrestling throughout the decades many memories
Luck bro. I was born in 2001 so I've been watching since 03 that I can remember
The month of November is for ECW November to Remember WCW World War 3 WCW Mayhem WWF Survivor Series and The Big Egg Wrestling Universe
I think you'll find Haku ripped out 58 eye balls
If Wright had come back as Papa Shango, I would have lost my shit.
And years later when I learned that there WERE plans to bring the character back, it was clearly even more of a lost opportunity.
Could have brought them both back in the same Royal Rumble ala Mick Foley entering 3 times in 1998.
Elijah Burke in 2008. Number 28, so late in the match. Talk about the anti-pop.
Duggen in 2012 was cool, i remember when i watched it first on dvd on my laptop
Tatanka for me

@3:45 they actually established that rule on wwe tv. during a raw, HHH said former rumble winners have an open invitation to the rumble.
I wish WWE would switch up that Basic Royal Rumble Logo. They had this same problem with SummerSlam for many years
I'm glad that Dick Murdoch at least got a mention, because he would've been my first choice.
10 forgotten wrestlemania returns.
Wait so was Haku technically still a WCW chsmpion when he entered the 01 Rumble or had he lost it by then?
The WCW was abandoned after Haku left WCW .
He was still a champ
@@LORDSTRYKER92 Point is Haku was still WCW hardcore champion when the title was abandoned .
Speaking of 2014 Royal Rumble, Kevin Nash returned as Diesel, and I don't think anyone ever talked about it. I also don't remember the crowd being interested in the slightest.
Mostly cause of how he screwed punk
thanks!
2009 was the first Rumble I watched
Me it's 2008 won by Cena
My first rumble I watched was 2007
rumble is the best type of match
5:47 oh, it's a shameful thing...
Pre-right to censor Val Venis was hilarious. Not the best in the ring, but alright. He was more a character, same as the Godfather. It seems like Right to Censor destroyed them.
RIP eddie guerrero u are missed
1:36 he is a lovely person on Twitter
Jim Duggan? That's a HELL of a stretch.
10 forgotten RAW returns
chavo should of won the 2006 rumble
Pat Mcafee WILL be in this years Royal Rumble!! a former Colt in Indy? yes
So, a talentless former football player is taking a spot in the Rumble as opposed to giving it to someone deserving?
@@RetroActivityGamingHe's still a hell of an athlete and has some wrestling training.
Wow.
The thumbnail has changed.
Any idea why RUclipsrs randomly change thumbnails?
Wait didnt haku side kick out taker starting a card with brothers of destruction and haku
Yes and I remember a 6 man tag match with The Brothers of Destruction and D'Von Dudley vs Christian , Haku and Rikishi . During the match Kane and D'Von did " Wassup " on Christian and the look on Undertaker's face was like WTF . This match is on RUclips .
Rikishi side kicked out taker, but Haku and Rikishi did have a program with brothers of destruction
You should post more real life content honestly it seems like youre more distant now and i watch mostly for your vibes
But then #1 left through the crowd looking for the exit.
I popped hard for Jacqueline tbh
JOIN US!
Royal Rimble
I smell rumble season
worst and best entrant at every number
Say his name
How Val Venis stayed employed by WWE past 2001 is beyond me.
Val venis had a great look though..he needed a decent gimmick.....they gave him a lower card gimmick..ofcourse a cornstar won't headline Wrestlelamania or win a world title
Val Venis was brilliant in late 2002-mid 2003 as Chief Morley. Then because of his reputation they ended the gimmick and he went back to being an unpushed babyface. Was a good worker in his day with main event potential.
I will always say this Jericho should've won the 2012, 2013, and 2017 Royal Rumbles
He was supposed to win the royal rumble in 2012 but they changed it last minute and it went to sheamus.
Paciti trying to get me killed lol making me laugh while im working out?
More like Zesty Black. Get to actual work, instead of watching RUclips videos. You lazy.
First
It was a good call changing the thumbnail from being Val Venis. That guy SUCKS.
Hooooooo!
Owen Hart didn't stand a chance in 1995 because he was jumped by Bret Hart , after Owen had interfered in the WWF title match earlier , when Owen did get in the ring he was eliminated in 3 seconds by British Bulldog .
