Of all the gimmick matches the WWF has created over the years, the Royal Rumble may be the most fun and captivating. The concept is simple: There's 30 wrestlers and one ring; two men start out going at it and every two minutes a new wrestler enters until there's only one man standing. But though the concept sounds easy, creating a wrestling match that will hold the attention of fans for over an hour is pretty tricky. With this in mind, the WWF added a prize for the winner that gave the Rumble added drama. Whoever survives gets a free pass to the main event at Wrestlemania and a chance to take on the WWF champion. Unlike most wrestling matches, where it's routinely easy to pick a winner, the Royal Rumble--especially the 2000 edition--is constantly difficult to predict. The 2000 Rumble is among the strongest in recent memory, mostly because of the pace, the outcome, and, yes, the dramatic, nearly evangelical play-by-play delivered by Jim Ross (yeah, it's all fixed, but JR gets your adrenaline pumping by the end of the match). What also makes this Rumble so exciting is the addition of four other matches, all of which complement the excitement of the main event. In particular the wars between Triple H and WWF champion Kurt Angle, and bitter Canadian rivals Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit, are well executed and constantly enjoyable. Of all the pay-per-views of 2000, this may be the one to take home and cherish. --Dave McCoy

One of the Best Royal Rumbles
The 2001 Royal Rumble was the last good Rumble for a couple years, so its definitely worth taking a look at. Besides having a great main event, the undercard was excellent.
The Dudley Boys vs. Edge (C) and Christian (C)
This match was decent. Edge and Christian carried the Dudleys through the match and made it respectable but its easily forgettable.
Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit (C) in a Ladder Match
Anytime you put Benoit in a match, it's going to be good, and when you put him in there with someone as talented as Chris Jericho, you're in for something special. These two put on one hell of a match, and the ladder match gimmick was a great way to end one of the best feuds in WWE history. These two took some brutal bumps and kept going. I cant rave enough about this one.
Ivory (C) vs. Chyna
This match really doesnt belong on a pay per view. Pretty much every women's match involving Chyna was a squash, and this match wasnt any different. Ivory gets in a little bit of offense and doesnt look terrible, but fortunately the match was short.
Kurt Angle (C) vs. Triple H
This match was excellent. Its also one of the few times you'll ever see these two wrestle each other. Great variety and pacing help make this match one of the best of the year. These two can really wrestle. For once, the interference angle comes off well and only makes the match better.
2001 Royal Rumble
Personally, I loved this match. Kane put on an absolutely outstanding performance. Aside from lasting over 50 minutes and eliminating a record 11 people, he just looked good out there, proving that just because you're a big guy, it doesnt mean you cant wrestle. This is the only rumble match to date which featured alot of weapons, though that segment started quickly and ended abruptly. Kane and the Undertaker worked well together. Austin's role in the match was overplayed though, and the Rock was dull. The wrong man won, or at least, the attack angle was just stupid. Although Kane will never win a Royal Rumble, he really should have won this one.
This is one of the best Royal Rumble events to date. A great undercard and a great Royal Rumble. The only weak spot on this card lasts about three minutes. It's definitely worth buying immediatly.

One Of The Best Royal Rumbles
This was definitely one of the best Royal Rumbles.The action was great in every match except for the women's match.
1.Edge and Christian vs. Dudley Boyz(WWF Tag Team Championship)
This was an amazing tag team match. Anytime these two teams get together, you know that it will be good.There were great moves throughout and it was very well paced.10 out of 10.
2.Ladder Match
Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit(WWF Intercontinental Championship)
This was an excellent match. These guys had an intense rivalry going into the match, and I thought that this was a great way to end the rivalry.There was a sick chair shot to Benoit when he did a suicide dive.10 out of 10.
3.Chyna vs. Ivory(WWF Womens Championship)
This wasn't good at all. These two women are not very good looking and the match absolutely sucked because Chyna got injured during the match.Just skip this and enjoy the other matches.2 out of 10.
4.Kurt Angle vs. Triple H(WWF Championship)
This was definitely one of the best matches that these two have had with each other,and it was intense. The interference was great too, because it came into play again later on in the Royal Rumble match.10 out of 10.
5.Royal Rumble Match(Winner Gets Title Shot At Wrestlemania)
This was one of the best Royal Rumble Matches in history, mainly because of the variety.What I mean is that at one point, its a normal match, then it gets hardcore, and then it gets funny,etc.10 out of 10.

This match isn't too bad, but it comes to an abrupt end when Chyna does handspring Elbow and severely injures her neck. 6/10 Ivory wins
4. Kurt Angle vs Triple H-WWF Championship
Great Match between these two men. Some awesome moves such as top rope arm drag, moonsault, pedigree, RAZORS EDGE by HHH etc. HHH gets screwed by Stone Cold, with chair and stunner. 10/10 Kurt Angle Wins

Y2J fan for Life!
Great ppv.Matches were above and beyond expectation with even an appearance by Drew Carrey in the rumble.Here are the matches and the results with a rating that I will give from an 0-10.
1.Tag team championship.
Edge and Christian(champs)vs The Dudleys.
This was a great match involving Edge and Christian and those two half like monkey looking brothers The Dudleys.This match was great and exciting for the rest of the ppv with the Dudleys winning the tag team titles from Edge and Christian.Rating 9/10.
2. Y2J vs Chris Benoit in a ladder match for the I.C title
First of all Y2J is one of my favorite wrestlers and for him having to go through a difficult match like that against Chris Benoit one of the toughest wrestlers ever earned my respect.Really great match! 10/10.
3 Womens Championship
Ivory vs Chyna
Who cares? Match was dumb with Ivory retaining after Chyna passed out in the middle of the ring.1/10.
WWF Championship.
Triple H vs Kurt Angle.
Excellent match with a bunch of great wrestling moves and athletic ability.Kurt Angle can really wrestle(why do you think the idiot won and gold metal) and Triple H is so powerful and always thinking of a scheme to win or retain his title.Match was back and forth and even involved a cat between the hot Trish and sexy billion dollar princess Stephanie Mcmahon but Kurt Angle ended up winning thanks to Stone Cold.9/10
The Rumble.
Great Rumble with Stone Cold winning for the third time in his career.10/10.
P.S. Get it on dvd to see the extras!

Royal Rumble 2001
Hello and welcome to my review on Royal Rumble 2001. I use a grading system and each match receives a grade. Then to determine how the show ranks the total of the matches scores are divided by the number of matches giving the grade and a comment about whether you should buy it or not. The grading system is as follows.
Grading E- =0-6.66%
E =6.66-13.32%
E+ =13.32-19.98%
D- =19.98-26.64%
D =26.64-33.30%
D+ =33.30-39.96%
C- =39.96-46.62%
C =46.62-53.28%
C+ =53.28-59.94%
B- =59.94-66.60%
B =66.60-73.26%
B+ =73.26-79.92%
A- =79.92-86.58%
A =86.58-93.24%
A+ = 93.24-100%
Match One-Tag Team Titles-Edge & Christian(C)Vs The Dudley Boyz-This was a good choice for the opener as it was exciting and it was two great teams wrestling each other. The finish was great as long with most of this match. What an excellent way to start off this show. My rating 6.58/10.
Match Two-Ladder Match-Intercontinental Championship-Chris Benoit(C)Vs Y2J-This was a good solid ladder match with both men putting their bodies on the line to gain the Intercontinental Title. I hope these two keep feuding for a long part of this year as they work awesome together and they are both really great wrestlers who deserve the major title around their waist. My rating 7.78/10.
Match Three-Womens Title-Ivory(C)Vs Chyna-This match was a basic womens match and what I expected from Chyna. There was some powerful moves used and some technical stuff. You can't miss the ending of this its very supprising. My rating 4.52/10.
Match Four-WWE Title Match-Kurt Angle(C)Vs HHH-This match was spectacular. It had lots of surprises,risks and a great ending which leads to something in the next match which is awesome. These two men are great wrestlers and they both deserve this match up the top of this card. Hopefully these two keep feuding and it goes strong and finishes strong. My rating 7.96/10.
Match Five-Main Event-Royal Rumble Match-This Rumble had a few good surprise entries such as Drew Carey,Honky Tonk Man and Haku. There was lots of action as well as some hardcore action early on as well. The Hardyz teamed up and worked together and so did Kane and his brother The Undertaker. Austin got busted open before he had even entered the ring. The ending was great and this was one of the most emotional Rumbles ever. My rating 8.42/10.
Overall this was a good show with the score being 35.26/50 which is equal to 70.52%. 70.52% in a grading in my grade system is a B. This show was very good with all good matches except the womens match but that is still very much worth a watch.
