Ranking EVERY WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View From Worst To Best
20. 1999
The Good: Mankind and The Rock's match had sensational drama until a closing stretch that gets harder to watch with every passing year. The Corporation/D-Generation-X anchors the undercard, though it's X-Pac's scorcher with Gangrel (!) that actually steals the show.
The Bad: Vince McMahon's victory isn't totally sh*t, but the concept and execution of the Royal Rumble is peak Vince Russo. Protecting the Austin/McMahon rivalry at the expense of the match and rest of the roster, 1999's battle royal neglects to even get the basics right. Talent run out and into an empty ring, there are almost no stars in the entire first half of the match, and 'The Rattlesnake' looks a little too stupid for falling into so many traps.
The Ugly: As with other matches, moments and men that don't always age that well, the aforementioned WWE Championship match requires a strong stomach these days. 'The Great One' butchers his old mucker Mick in front of his children with that steel chair - it's substantially sicker than just about any Hell In A Cell fall Foley ever took.
