 What's good George Boar Ross back again with another video? So we're gonna check out best final twos in WWE Royal Rumble history man Royal Rumble right around the corner man is at the end of this month I believe so I'm very excited to see what's gonna happen what surprises are we're gonna get and How the Royal Rumble will end in the final two. It's always supposed to be a I guess you can say an epic moment between Competitors and and it's really supposed to be a back-and-forth to see who's gonna be DeVictory who will be the last man standing in the Royal Rumble So we're gonna check out some of the the best final two Opponents in the Royal Rumble and it should be a good one Appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel. You guys have really really turned it up for me last year So we got to turn it up all the way Even more this year man, and I am still your Undisputed YouTube wrestling champ of the world man. Let's get right into this one This should be a good one man. The season to be rumbly Man, I really want the Royal Rumbles to be good this year seeing as last years were in one case bland and the other case offensively very goddamn bland Should not be it's that honestly if I have to rewatch one of the two I would rather hate watch 2015's rumble again than the 2022 men's bloody lord But say what you want about the if you would hate watch that Royal Rumble where Roman Reigns got booed with the Rocks assistance That's how you know last year's Royal Rumble was just a complete let down 2022 men's rumble. I think they got one thing slightly right. They had a fun final to drew McIntyre and Brock Lesnar Get each other It's an often overlooked weapon in the rumble arsenal Everyone focuses on the nostalgia pops the iron men the returned people forget that one of the very best things about a good Rumble is a nail biting Final two and only two competitors are left and they essentially have a match within a match Sometimes it's a fake out like on edge in 2021 or del Rio Morela in 2011 and sometimes It's an epic marathon between two competitors either of whom could snatch the win I'm Adam Hailing from parts fun known and here are ten best final twos in Royal Rumble history And if you like Royal Rumble content make sure you check out all the stuff We did last year as well every January We do a raft of Royal Rumble lists and fancy book and you want check them out check them out number 10 Bret Hart and Lex Luger 1994 difficult to describe the match within a match is actually good No sooner had Bret Hart and Lex Luger been left to their own devices in decisive from crisis to crisis than the match was over Seriously from Bret and Lex being the final two to the end of the rumble was less than a minute Which is very real both men with the biggest stars in the match by far and they could have savoured it a little bit longer But this is a Rikishi size But no way that these two aren't going on this list because they were the first and to this point only Co-winners of the Royal Rumble Wow After a few seconds of punching both men went to the ropes had a lovely little cuddle and fell over the ropes together Like Holmes and Moriarty going over the Reichenbach falls if Holmes and Moriarty had a little cuddle on the way Down both men's feet apparently touched them out at the same time with a long post-match angle of trying to work out Which the light had won it for the sheer amount of rumble drama Surrounding two dudes this belongs on the list even if the wrestling part of it was over way too quick So you can get to the hole raising the arms and crowd noise bit. Yeah, I did not know that obviously This is you know, I'm like three years old at this time So I'm not knowing what wrestling is but it's you know It's cool to see that they went with that angle of all both wrestlers Feet hit the floor at the same time. So, you know what that means They're both Co-winners number nine Chris Benoit and Big Show 2004 only three men have won the Royal Rumble from the number one position and two of them are Shawn Michaels and Edge The third is Chris Benoit whose win is often overlooked. Yeah, we know why but for the sake of this list It's worth pointing out that the final two of Benoit and Big Show were very good Chris Benoit was always very good at selling although after wrestling for nearly an hour Not sure how much he actually needed to sell Yeah It made the David versus Goliath aspect of the ending to 2004's rumble match all the better Benoit straight-up Technicianed Big Show out of the rumble eliminating the giant with a front face lock and dragging him over the top row You know what people talk about the talent of Benoit and it's unfortunately for WWE iconic closing spot But credit to the Big Show for the athleticism involved in being that huge and also hanging upside down for a few seconds to make the spot Seem even more impressive number eight triple H and Dean Ambrose 2016 This was a god It's just it's one of those things. I really truly wish they called an audible. Oh I'm so mad they never called an audible for this. Oh Ah That's all I can say man if you know they should have called an audible for Dean Ambrose in this situation I'm the best moments in professional wrestling happen when two people are wrestling and every logical Rational part of your brain tells you that the person you want to win Yeah, precisely zero chance of winning but for slight moments for the slightest moment They make you believe the 2016 Royal Rumble has some Incredibly dumb booking Reigns was forced to defend his WWE championship in the rumble itself and the major angle in the match Was Vince's boys taking Reigns out of the match via the bottom rope and injuring him Which is ass backwards forwards and then backwards again Of course Roman comes back out and we think he's gonna win But then triple H eliminates him to a huge pop leaving us the game and Dean Ambrose Dean never going to win Already intercontinental champion Ambrose and of course, he doesn't but for a few short minutes The WWE will pivot to much more over Ambrose at the last minute before mania And that's enough to make the final to a tiny bit They would have did that you could have set up a great story line between Dean being the champ in a continental champ in the WWE champ Roman being screwed Roman being slighted by that over time Could have turned them here with it brothers He Lynch and Charlotte flair 2019 most of the time at least for the last 10 years who we want to win the Royal Rumble Mostly doesn't win the Royal Rumble. You know what? It's fine joy is overrated and leads to wrinkles and in an ironic twist WWE's constant conveyor belt of disappointment at the rumble time of year actually makes the happy rumble moments much happier A very happy moment happened at the 2019 women's Royal Rumble Becky Lynch was Incredibly over more so than WWE expected and it looked like Daniel Bryan in 2014 all over again competing in the first match of the night Losing not being in the Royal Rumble, but this time the Old Testament WWE gods smiled on us inserting Lynch into the match via shenanigans Permiating the rest of the match with the fizzing energy of they're doing it They're actually going to do it especially when it came down to Lynch and Charlotte the person earmarked for the WrestleMania main event It was the fairy tale rumble ending we wanted for D. Brigh and it finally came true number six John senior and Batista 2000 that was a good moment for her man. And once again, it shows that for whatever reason WWE has a problem with people organically getting over in ways. They don't expect it to happen and then they tried to D, you know deep push them and push them the way they want to and ultimately it doesn't work So they have to push them the way the fans want and that's how it happens. Don't know why they do that I think it's just better to play the hot hand that's given to you and kind of go from there and see what happens They do You see what's happened with Sami Zayn. They played the hot hand. He wasn't supposed to get that over They played the hot hand. Of course Vince leaving helped even more played the hot hand And now he's one of the most over individuals in the company. Just saying five. Lol They fell over the two breakout stars of 2005 either of them could have won and wouldn't you know They both did one of the most infamous final twos of all time saw the Batiste's and John Pena Butch a Batista bomb which sent both guys sailing over the top rope in an unintended remake of Red Heart and Lex Luga But this time done perfectly like they touched the ground at exactly the same time It is unreal Breaks his own legs and sits in the ring barking orders until they restarted He was supposed to does it make sense no because literally in 1994 Yeah, both men win if this happens, but it's a hilarious and eternal reminder of that old adage The best laid plans of Vince and men off go awry and also lucky Taurus quads like a massive bow That's man Taurus quads getting into the ring had to sit down and tell them what to do That's why oh bro Doyle number five Shawn Michaels and the British Bulldog 1995 ah 1995 a deeply royal rumble one of the most influential and referenced finishes in Rumble history if you haven't seen it, please take my word for it That the final spot does not make watching the whole thing worth it That being said the final two is annoyingly brilliant Shawn Michaels entered number one The British Bulldog entered number two 35 minutes later. It's a really short rumble one the reasons why it's bad They're the last men standing and engage in a couple of really choice final spots mostly centered around HBK being a Springy little bollocks Michael's over the top rope one foot touches the ground and even though the bell doesn't ring Bulldogs music plays Michaels reenters the ring knocks him out and just like that a top three rumble moments of all time Endlessly referenced again and again because it's at the heart of the rumble golden rule both feet must touch the floor Rumble though. It's a it's a fucking shit royal rumble. Yeah before Chris Jericho and Seamus 2012 I know we all love Seamus nowadays and with damn good reason banger after banger after banger Etc. But I still think the wrong person won the 2012 Royal Rumble the fact that Chris Jericho cannot boast a royal rumble win on his record despite the fact that he should have won it in both 2012 and 2070 that's crazy when you when you really actually think about it That's actually kind of crazy brother. He does not have a royal rumble win That's that's really insane if you really think about it of all the aquilates. He's had in his career The Royal Rumble has eluded him very insignificant amount of bullsh** even so the match within a match at the end of 2012 is Really good the two men wrestled for legit over five minutes before Jericho is ousted by a brogue kick Now is a big risk considering the match had already lasted an hour But it was so great with Jericho writing several love letters to Shawn Michaels Constantly saving himself from elimination by centimeters taking the great white to his limit for making history's palest man Very angry Drama and up there with the best of him number three John Cena and Triple H 2008 this was a good one and the reason why this was a good one one Jim Ross selling John Cena coming back Like fucking months before he was supposed to no one saw this coming I didn't see this coming at all. So when he came out there crowd was like what the fuck Jim Ross going crazy on commentary and having him and Triple H be the last to I was I was all for Sometimes it's all about the crowd I mean this kind of feels like a little bit of a cheat because people tend to remember the ending to the 2008 rumble as an iconic Final three with Batista Triple H and Cena each pressing the D pad and doing their taunts Big Dave is ousted with the match coming down to Triple H the favorite going in and John Cena the brand new favorite Who only just came back? Holy sh** Cena's months early return from injury at number 30 sets off a hype bomb inside of Madison Square Garden The crowd are electric from the moment the doctor of Thuganomics walks in as such They are still molten during the final stages of the match right up until the great closing spot of Cena adjusting Triple H is Fire emoji as the children tweet number two Shinsuke Nakamura and Roman Reigns 2018 Really wish they would have pulled the trigger Well, I should know they did pull the trigger. I'm tripping. I'm tripping. I forgot all about it Now they actually did for once. It's a rarity. They pulled the trigger even though We was hoping AJ Styles Shinsuke Nakamura would have been a better match at WrestleMania It still was cool that they actually did pull the trigger here So I forgot all about this suddenly very interested in who sits where at a dinner party Everyone hated him so very much to the point that when he actually won his Royal Rumble in 2015 People campaign for the WWE Network to crash and burn which looking back and it was a perfectly sane and normal day at Twitter comm However, since then at least when the rumble comes around WWE have used Roman's rumble infamy to pop the crowd even more for the eventual winner Which is actually very cunning for real in 2016 2017 2018 and 2020 the crowds overwhelming anyone but you At the rumble time was used to make triple H's Randy Orton's Drew McIntyre's victories feel even bigger But the best example of that is Shinsuke Nakamura's win in 2018 again There are two top belts in the company knackers pegged for one reigns for the other and goddammit if the tension isn't delicious This was all final six is booked to perfection Oh God versus new but when it comes down to loved versus hated in Nakamura versus rain Becomes one of the greatest ever my word the ovation when Shinsuke won Number one Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker 2000 I can't even get mad. This was a very good number one right here seven Hey, it's the final two. Then you would be number one when you click the video. Yeah called it in the comments You did it champ. Here's your prize. This prize is for you. Weren't you a clever sausage? Who's a clever little cumberland sausage? Yes, you are so yes This is the precursor to one the most treasured WrestleMania rivalries of all time two of the best WWE wrestlers ever The example that immediately comes to mind when people say Royal Rumble final two Yeah, because it's a pay-per-view match hidden inside the Royal Rumble And it's in rules from the off a beautiful spot where the evil team of rated RKO a dispatch by HPK and back-to-back Eliminations to the sit-up kip-up spot to the nearly 10 minutes that follows It's Royal Rumbling at its best close calls huge counters super kids either guy could win F***ing delight so much so that in 2008 they open the rumble with a repeat of both guys this time entering one and two HPK and Undertaker the patron saints of doing a job so nice WWE do it twice and I saw less. What's your favorite Royal Rumble? Hey, I'm okay with that list I'm okay with that being number one. That was that was a very good Ending sequence between both individuals man, Shawn Michaels Undertaker Some of the best to ever do it, you know, so I am A-okay with that man, but comment down below. Let me know. What was your favorite? Final two in the Royal Rumble man in Royal Rumble history Let me know down below and also let's get this discussion going Who do y'all think will be the final two for this year's Royal Rumble? I'm very intrigued as long as one of them is Cody Rhodes You know what I would actually love to see Cody Rose and Seth Rollins Just be the final two Be the final two. I think that would be cool You know granted they don't need to have another match in per se But I would think it would be a cool way for Cody to kind of get his his his lick back from what happened When he got injured so I think that would be a pretty cool moment But let me know who do y'all think should be the final two for this year at the Royal Rumble But I appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel and I am still Your undisputed YouTube wrestling champ of the world. Appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all next one. Peace
