Wasnt that the year were Ric Flair won it? That was probably one of the best RR ever, I remember Sid Vicious and Hogan going at it and Hogan getting pissed at Sid for eliminating him. Thats when wrestling was good Edited January 6, 2016 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely for the fact that I didn't have Sky at the time and it was the first time I could watch a PPV live. Yeah 2000, but Austin being injured took away from it for me. We did get to see Mae Young's bewbs though. Honourable mentions to 96, 99, 01 and 04 rumbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 7, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2016 2000 Rumble was good because seemingly everybody I knew watched it because it was on Channel 4, whereas previously I was one of a few losers who liked wrestling at school But in reality I don't think it was a great event. The 99 Rumble was far better, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 It's ghey I know but I really want to have a Royal Rumble or Wrestlemania night where I get lots of mates round and we watch it. Problem is hardly anyone watches it anymore and those that do probably don't want to stay up and watch it. It's the only 2 ppvs I ever watch properly anymore.

Rumble is probably easier to watch to get people around as you wouldnt need to know people that much as people come and go every few minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 99 Rumble was pure Russo. Couldn't just have a straight forward Rumble match. Run ins, asylum doctors, bathroom beatings, abductions by a satanic cult and ambulance stealing. I know Russo is a bit of a douche these days and deservedly gets stick but he was a huge part of the success of the Attitude era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Loved Taz's debut. Had no idea who he was really as I wasn't that aware of ECW. However the music was awesome and you could tell by the reaction of the crowd that it was a pretty big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was awesome, they obviously had big plans for him as he beat Kurt Angle's streak but they soon **** that up and literally a year later he was a fat and shit commentator.

hogso Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Taz was great, but even in his ECW days I found that little leotard ridiculous. It was even worse when he didn't wear boots either and had that 'wild man' gimmick. But then, he was tough as nails so it didn't really matter what he was wearing, you knew he could suplex anyone out of their boots. And in regards to him beating Angle and then not getting the push you may have expected, did that not have something to do with Mike Awesome going to WCW as the ECW champ, so Tazz then went back to ECW to beat him and 'save' the title for ECW, although he was a WWF wrestler at the time? ECW fans detested WCW, not so much WWF though as the first invasion angle pushed the Barely Legal PPV sales, if memory serves.
