Ranking the Rumbles
By Scott Keith on 2 January 2025
With the Royal Rumble on the horizon I thought it'd be fun to do a ranking of the best Rumbles with ranking by Rumble Quality, Star Power and Commentators
That got me thinking about the 1990 and 1992 Rumbles. I'm a fan of both and we all agree 1992 gets the Thumbs Up for both quality and commentating but I think 1990 gets the points for star power. Behold
1990
Ultimate Warrior
Andre the Giant
Dusty Rhodes
Bret Hart
Bad News Brown
Jim Neidhart
Akeem
Rick Rude
Mr. Perfect
Ax
Earthquake
Honky Tonk Man
Marty Jannetty
Koko B Ware
Dino Bravo
Terry Taylor
1992
Ric Flair
Undertaker
Jim Duggan
Big Bossman
Sid
Sgt. Slaughter
Davey Boy Smith
Irwin R Schyster
Virgil
Jerry Sags
Nikolai Volkoff
Iron Sheik
Kerry Von Erich
Greg Valentine
Skinner
Berzerker
In both Rumbles
Hulk Hogan
Randy Savage
Roddy Piper
Jake Roberts
Ted DiBiase
Shawn Michaels
Rick Martel
Tito Santana
Hercules
Haku
Smash/Repo Man
What is your opinion of that and what are your Rumble Ranking from best to worst?
I think 1990 has more star power spread out over the course of the Rumble, but 1992 has bigger star power concentrated at the top and more people who could conceivably win. I like them both.
