5 Best Royal Rumble Matches

#2 The one that was the attitude era - 2001

Three times a charm

WrestleMania X-Seven has long been called the best WrestleMania and largely was down to the red-hot booking and stories that the superstars were delivering. The roster of wrestlers at that point too is nostalgic for wrestling fans the world over due to talents such as The Rock, Stone Cold, Kane and the Undertaker.

This Rumble was a who's who of the Attitude Era, with surprise appearances from Haku, Drew Carey, and the Honky Tonk Man. Kane at this point was a fully fledged monster and eliminated 11 wrestlers, before finally being eliminated by Stone Cold. A final two pairing of Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, who would go on to main event the greatest WrestleMania for the second time was fitting of the time period and of the star power of this Rumble. It also meant Stone Cold had won the Royal Rumble for a record third time!
