I absolutely love these video discussions, but it would be really nice to have the larger bracket on the screen behind the lads so its easier to keep track of

That would be a better use of the screen behind them. They could be like real sports analysts doing it that way.

Real. That’s why I watch the podcast religiously 😂
I would genuinely LOVE to see Ross do star wars breakdown and ranking videos. All with no research involved on Ross' part, of course.
This was a great video, great tournament, and a wonderful trip down memory lane. I'm glad that the 2001 and 2020 Rumble matches had such a strong showing. Two perfect examples of how great a Rumble can be when the full thing is thought out, planned wonderfully, and executed well. Both structured to emphasise elements of the roster, both succeeded, and deserving of their placements.
18:28 why does jack sound like he's falling down a well in the way he said "no"? 😂
Well, nice to know that I was in attendance for your runner-up! It was great being there for the show but personally I felt the whole Lesnar thing went on a bit too long but it did make the elimination by Drew that much sweeter. Also, being there for the return of Edge will always be a special memory especially since I was right beside the entrance and got the full effect of the smoke.
The Mae Young winning the swimsuit contest thing is in WWF No Mercy and is hilarious
I love Rumble season content. 1992 theme song stuck in my head with Vince calling out everyone's names.
even Cultaholic overlooks our boy R-Truth eliminating Big Show&Mark Henry by himself!
My fave rumble match was the 2000 HHH vs Cactus Jack match fond memories of staying up to watch that trying not to freeze to death as our heating was bust as one of the pipes burst
I could watch these 3 talk like this for 6 hours a day Easy. These videos are always a joy, especially when Ross and Tom are involved. Also wish we got Jack's Weirdest Wrestling Episodes more often, been really enjoying that series aswell. 😄👍

@@theguywiththeanimals5111 right? Jack's distain for Russo and Bischof in a few of the episodes is great, so are "The Misfits, In Action." 😄👍
Ross will be so shocked in like 15 years when he finds out Darth Maul survived that.
Great crew and great discussion! Time well spent, lads!
The Star Wars bit caught me off guard and I loved it 😂
1992 Royal Rumble match, always my #1. Honourable mentions to the 2007 Royal Rumble match, the 2008 Royal Rumble match, John Cena vs. Umaga (2007) and John Cena vs. AJ Styles (2017).

92 is so overrated.
When a non wrestling fan asks me to show them why I like wrestling, I show them the angle v Benoit from rumble 03. Probably my favorite match ever.

I love this idea. Would be great if we could do this for Wrestlemania and Summerslam
A nice meaty discussion. Excellent job lads..
Ross got me with that Paul London remark. Well played sir
Rumble 2020 very much the Croatia of 2018. Devastating for Rumble 92 who thought it was coming home
'92 Rumble, '01 Rumble (mainly coz it's Kane's finest hour, '02 Rumble, '03 Angle vs Benoit, '07 Rumble. There's probably other great stuff, but I either missed it first time round, or just don't remember anything special about them. Not an edit, coz I'm listening to this as I write this, How The Hell did I forget Vince '05?!? 😂😂😂
4:04 Yikes… Ross needs to go back and watch Angle vs. Benoit at Royal Rumble 2003. That’s a top 5 wrestling match for me period.
0:27 Jack is DEFINITELY a Partridge fan
The 2018 rumble is my favourite rumble of all time. A white hot crowd, great iron man stint from Finn Balor, rusev day at its nearly most over. Elias getting a great spot, the Heath slater story and surprise elimination of sheamus. Another great kofi moment. NXT callups for Andrade and Adam Cole. A mega rko out of nowhere. Two different type of legend returns in Rey and hurricane. The monkey flip elimination from Seth. The final 6 of old vs new and then the final four of internet darlings vs vince guys. It felt like every entrant had a meaningful story beat and the in ring action was impeccable. And absolutely the right winner in shinsuke and the crowd erupted. I love a lot of rumbles but this will always be number one!
To answer Tom’s question I believe that they started using entrance music for rumble participants in 96
Wearing a denim "cut" over a leather jacket is extremely common in biker culture. It's called a cut because it's a jacket with sleeves removed rather than a vest. It has absolutely nothing to do with wrestling or Triple H. LOL Alternatively, a cut with band patches is sometimes referred to by fans of heavy metal music as a "battle vest."
2020 men's rumble is my favourite rumble ever. The Brock story was good. Drew and Ricochet eliminating Brock was good. Edge coming back. The only negatives are Braun and Keith Lee being idiots and attacking each other instead of taking Brock out. And the fact that in my watch party's rumble pool, my chance of winning was number 24... Luke Gallows. That really stung
One that doesn't get the love it deserves is a match I've always loved since I was a child and watched many times since and thats The Big Bossman. Vs The Barbarian at Royal Rumble 1991
There's 7 forms of lightsaber combat, Jack. Wookiepedia is also amazing.
As with all your vids of this style it's just a great easy watch and listen. Love all the content and love the Rumble especially
Hey Jack, I totally am on your side with your 1990 Rumble hot take! Bonus points for Garvin vs Valentine and their meaty chops, as they gave the whole PPV a little more flavour.
This was a fun little discussion.
Diesel 1994 is the single most underrated moment is Royal Rumble performance...
Tom, the Different Strokes lyric is "He's a man of means." referring to Mr. Drummond's wealth relative to the Jackson brothers he adopts.
I never like using inside baseball talk, but the 2020 Rumble worked me perfectly. Part-timer, fun-ruiner Brock enters the Rumble at the beginning, gets gassed after about six minutes, and eliminates half the field including some potential winners. Then out comes Drew, who's slowly but surely been building his momentum to the top, staring, well, claymores through Brock the whole way to the ring. I'd almost forgotten about Drew up to that moment, and when he hits that Claymore and sends Brock to the floor while still staring him down, I think two more guys come out and Drew eliminates them both while virtually never breaking eyes with Brock. On top of that you have Heyman on the outside losing his goddamn mind and Brock actually selling his disbelief all the way out of the arena, and I think this was the match that finally convinced me that when Brock actually cares he can make his matches mean something. Mostly because unlike his matches with Balor/Bryan/Styles, he actually lost for a goddamn change.
You lads should do this again, but for the worst match at the Royal Rumble.
1997 Royal Rumble match for me would have been in. Austin Iron man performance a stacked final 10 or so entrants & arguably the most inventive finish of a Rumble ever, with Bret eliminating Austin only for him to sneak back in and win it!
Up the Qui-Gon
The 2001 Royal Rumble is definitely the David Hosselhoff of the Rumbles.
Possibly my 3 favorite people on KZread. 😄👍
Great choices here! Preferences I know but a couple of underrated matches I remember. 2009 rumble, even though was an obvious winner due to story line. I also think Sasha Banks and Ronda Rowsey match at '19 is underrated. Great video though, brilliant listen.
I would love to see a summer slam and survivor series version of this as well
Really enjoyed this video.
Royal Rumble 90 is my favorite Rumble and my favorite match at a Rumble. It is so stacked with golden age legends and characters. So it would have won if I had my say so Jack you are not on the limb alone.
I popped for Tom's Caddicarus reference.
But...but...."WITH A TEAR IN MY EYE!!!!"
Busted open Beth Phoenix deserves at least a mention. What a great rumble performance.
Ooof. Owens/dean vs Becky/asuka is a Sophie’s choice for me. 2 fabulous matches.
Someone should inform Ross, who is now learning more and more about Star Wars, that Darth Maul survives being cut in half and then becomes some sort of unstable half Darth Maul/half spider thing.
Great vid idea and good execution
Benoit seemed to seriously shine at the rumble. Its tough to look back on.
Congratulations to the winner of the " call da police" tournament!
Angle vs Benoit is the best match ever at the Rumble. But I've only watched it once since 2007.
The whole podcast Ross didn't notice the bird poo on his jacket
Amazing video idea lad
For me it’s the 2002 rumble match. Only because it was my first time ever watching wrestling.
You guys are flipping awesome

One of my favorite moments was Daniel Puter getting his receipts for the Kurt Angle incident in 2005 Royal Rumble match.
I feel this should have just been the Rumble and non-rumble matches matched up separately.
Props to Sam for actually putting in the music during the WWTBAM? part. Call the police!
I wonder what match will be the IC triple threat of this World Cup bracket…
“Wookieepedia” sounds silly, but it’s almost as old as Wikipedia itself and is widely considered to be one of the first comprehensive fan wikis of its kind.
This is the dumbest video I’ve ever seen. Obviously the Greatest Royal Rumble is the greatest royal rumble… All jokes aside you guys are the highlight of my day every day, much love
That is a very large bottle of water sir
Not gonna lie, I couldn’t care less about the bracket or who wins. I’m just here for Jack, Ross and Tom’s banter.
I was at the 2020 royal rumble with the bias, it should’ve won
This would have been better as Non Rumble matches versus one another and Rumbles versus one another. Could have gotten two videos out of it then.
Round 3.... 2001 rumble, jericho vs benoit, hunter vs cactus, 2020 rumble. This is going to end with the 2001 vs 92!
I think my favourite rumble might genuinely the 2023 rumble, and non rumble match I would have to say Cena VS Styles
been watching hivemind have we lads 😁
Unfortunately, Chris Benoit treaty Royal Rumble PPV as Wrestlemania. Was always amazing at that PPV lmao. Shame we can’t look at it the same.
Could’ve easily left the murderer off the list. Y’all love benoit though
LMAOOOO Star Wars Fighting Nerds vs Royal Rumble Wrestling nerds in a who gets made fun of the most battle
I know a podcast is going to be golden when matthew isnt included! Quality really goes down when a mf is just looking for content to post on a public forum.
The Greatest Royal Rumble not being in the brackets for the Greatest Royal Rumble is a pretty big oversight (not really)
Fk yeah ranking star wars fights haha
Favourite Rumble matches are 2001, 2003, 2007, 2009, 2018 men’s, 2023 men’s, HHH vs Cactus Jack from 2000 and HHH vs HBK from 2004. I’ve got to rewatch Cena vs Umaga from 2007 again. I thought Jericho vs Rock from 2002 was fucking boring. Ugh 92 is so overrated.
John cena for me is mr Royal rumble.
the royal rumble in kurt angle in 2024 today now yes 🤩🤩🤩🤩
2000 not a great Rumble but Tazz Angle was a banger
11:36 xavier woods won via DQ against roman reigns on smackdown in 2021 ... xD
Currently watching the 2020 Rumble based on the love it got, and the first 20 minutes are God awful, Brock Lesnar sucks so bad
There's only one The Greatest Royal Rumble

RR 92 was robbed. Easily the best rumble ever.
RR 1992, nothing WWF/E ever did or could do with a RR could top it .
Shame, 2018 men’s is the best rumble ever
I know this will be an unpopular opinion but the 92 rumble hasn't aged that well Imo. I rewatched it recently and a lot of the match is just punches and tie ups.
Jack you’re not alone I also don’t think the 92 Rumble is that great
Benoit vs angle, 2005 rumble, 2001 rumble, 2004 rumble, hands down Benoit vs Jericho, this is my favorite laddar match!, Ambrose vs Owens, styles vs Cena, Bryan vs Wyatt, hhh vs cactus, 2018 rumble, 2007 rumble...taker won!, 2010 rumble......to this point we have predicted the same answers! 2020 rumble. All but 2 were the same for round 1.
Maul survived.
