A question for my fellow wrestling forum members.
So this weekend will be the first WWE PPV my gf has ever watched and it's a good one to start her off on. Now before Sunday, I'd like to get her to watch some of the older rumbles with me to get her into it. My question is which 5 are MUST WATCH rumbles? I know for a fact 2001 is, but what do you guys think? Help me out. Whichever 5 get the most mentions will be the ones we watch.

This is not a good idea. Unless she's already a wrestling fan (which it doesn't sound like she is), there is no way she will sit through five Rumble matches with any genuine interest.
Your best bet is to just wait until Sunday and explain it to her then. |

But to answer your question, I'd probably recommend 2011. Was pretty awesome from top to bottom, lots of drama (CM Punk/Nexus/Corre/Cena), unpredictability (Santino almost winning, Nash and Booker T returning) and every wrestler was on top form, hitting all their signature moves etc (JoMo's spot). The crowd were also really into the event, which made it even better.

She's gotten more into wrestling over the past 6 months. She wasn't at first but she grew to like it, because I liked it and shows legit interest in it. Her favorite superstars at the moment are Zack Ryder, The Miz, and sadly John Cena. That's why I asked which rumbles to shoot for.

2010. Is that the one Edge won? But yeah, that one. 1995 (I think) is also good when HBK won from number 1.

Edge won in 2010 and HBK in 95. Cena returned and won in 08. I'd buy the anthology, but it's almost $200.

Don't bother with any older ones where she won't know anybody. I doubt she will care much for the mythology of WWE and it's previous characters.

89 - She'll see guys like Hulk Hogan, Andre, Roddy Piper, Macho Man, and Jake Roberts who she may be vaguely familiar with.
92 - If I have to explain why... 01 - Fuckin' Drew Carey! Sersiously, if she hasn't been living under a rock, she'll know who Austin & the Rock are, and this was a very solid Rumble without an obvious winner. 04 - One of the more solid modern Rumbles. 11 - Most recent, will get her up to date. I also agree though that showing her five might be excessive, unless she really gets into it. Show her 92 and 11 definitely. |

I was thinking 92 was a must see also so 2001 and 1992 are both a lock.

The last two are pretty good to start. She will know most of the competitors.
But more importantly, when did you get a girlfriend? |

1988 - The one that started it all.
1992 - Vacant championship incentive 1994 - Who was eliminated last? 1995 - First two started and finished. 2000 - KAIENTAI, FOOL!!! Last edited by DLVH84; 01-27-2012 at 12:14 AM. |

the one with drew carey just because she can be like "Why is drew carey wrestling?" then you can point out he got in the wrestling hall of fame for that brief few minutes and it will ruin any respect she might have had for wrestling and you wont have to worry about her wanting to watch any more.

well if she doesnt think Drew Carey being in the wrestling hall of fame for that is ridiculous then he's got a keeper.

He is the only celebrity to have made an in-ring appearance in what is arguably WWE's second biggest attraction of the year. Given the existence of the "celebrity wing,' I'd say that earns him as much right to be there as someone who ring announced a few matches and got choked by Andre.

Whichever Rumble it was where Big Show eliminated Taka, which resulted in Taka doing a flip over the ropes and slamming his face into the ringside floor with an audible *Splat*.
If nothing else, it'll grab her attention when she starts drifting off into boredom. |

1999 has to be there. Not only because of the tremendous booking of the Rumble itself, but you've also got Rock/Mankind.

I knew you'd say that Steele. Oddly enough, it's the only Rumble I've ever owned on DVD too.

Dont waste her time with a lot of RR's. I would say just 1-2 to get her interest up, preferably recent ones so that she can identify with the wrestlers. 2008 for sure with the Cena win, and maybe 2006 for Rey Mysterio.
