In this episode, we're diving into the thrilling world of WWE's Royal Rumble events from the 2000s – a decade known for some of the most unforgettable moments in wrestling history.

Join me and Generation 'S' first ballot Hall of Famer Lou Carnevale, as we step into the ring to rank each Royal Rumble event from 2000 to 2009. We'll discuss the iconic matches, the surprise entries, and the nail-biting eliminations that defined an era in WWE. For many of us who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, these events were not just wrestling matches; they were larger-than-life spectacles that left us on the edge of our seats.

We both agree that the Royal Rumble stands as the second biggest WWE event of the year, only trailing behind the grandeur of WrestleMania. But which year's Rumble took the top spot in our rankings? Which superstar's performance left us in awe? And which Rumble match do we think didn't quite live up to the hype?

A heads-up to our listeners: We faced some technical gremlins while recording this episode, but we've done our best to smooth things out. Hopefully, it's as seamless to you as a well-executed Royal Rumble elimination!

Tune in for a trip down memory lane, filled with bodyslams, high-flying action, and the unmistakable excitement that only the Royal Rumble can deliver. Whether you're a long-time wrestling fan or just love reliving the glory days of the early 2000s, this episode is for you!

Let's get ready to rumble! (Please don't sue me, Michael Buffer)
