After a string of lacklustre Rumbles, average Rumbles, moderately-dumb Rumbles, and disappointing Rumbles, we reach what is the best Royal Rumble event in close to a decade. The 2000 Royal Rumble...
Very seldom do you see three WWE pay-per-views in a row that are each worth all the acclaim that can be mustered, but in early 2001, such a run of brilliance was achieved. That stretch culminated with...
In the days before streaming services and YouTube, there were two ways to acquire songs - buy the damn CDs at your local retailer (as if), or illegally acquire them from something like Napster or...
If you think today's WWE product is a cesspool of creative bankruptcy and spiteful booking, take a gander at what the company was offering back in 2003. SmackDown, outside of Kurt Angle and Brock...
Two men have won the Royal Rumble match from the number one position, including Shawn Michaels. For obvious reasons, WWE has no desire to fill in the remainder of that thought, leaving empty the part...

For WWE fans, the current decade began nine years ago with the somewhat-eccentric "I am The One" campaign for the 2010 Royal Rumble. Stars of the then-modern roster stood before a white background,...
We didn't know what bloated was. In April 2018, the 50-man monstrosity that was Greatest Royal Rumble (complete with Performance Center dwellers and a Yokozuna cover band) cracked a window into just...
"Everyone is eligible to enter," they said. For weeks and weeks, WWE announcers brayed this curious little phrase in regards to the 2012 Royal Rumble match, and it seemed like an odd note to...
