Every WWE Royal Rumble 'Final Four' - From Worst To Best

14. 2004 - Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, Big Show & Chris Benoit

The good: none of these men had won a Rumble before this. New winners are always fun. The bad: All four men had already been World champions, taking some of the grandeur out of the story. It just doesn't have the same dramatic weight when they've all already been to the top of the mountain, you know? Even worse: Big Show repeating his signature €œhow is this even my job?€ Rumble elimination spot. The worst: Chris Benoit. If real life hadn't made this match and the WrestleMania XX main event heartbreaking instead of heartwarming, this would have to rank in the top 5.
