The 1999 Royal Rumble was easily my least favorite. That whole thing with McMahon and Austin being out the the ring for an hour is just stupid to me. There should be a rule that the officials on the outside count you out if you do not (or cannot) return to the ring. Look at this entry roster. Holy mid-carder, Batman. Royal Rumble entrances and eliminations A new entrant came out approximately every 90 seconds.[13] 1 Steve Austin 2 Mr. McMahon - Winner 3 Golga 4 Droz 5 Edge 6 Gillberg 7 Steve Blackman 8 Dan Severn 9 Tiger Ali Singh 10 The Blue Meanie 11 Mabel 12 Road Dogg 13 Gangrel 14 Kurrgan 15 Al Snow 16 Goldust 17 The Godfather 18 Kane 19 Ken Shamrock 20 Billy Gunn 21 Test 22 Big Boss Man 23 Triple H 24 Val Venis 25 X-Pac 26 Mark Henry 27 Jeff Jarrett 28 D'Lo Brown 29 Owen Hart 30 Chyna Which is your least favorite Royal Rumble?

I watched the last 10-12 minutes of the 1996 Rumble again recently and found the whole presentation to be subpar. The first 5-6 events had a rough-around-the-edges charm to them in terms of spontaneity, and the production value along with the announcing made them must-view. As a final four participant, using Kama elicited zero drama. Horrendous. Missing key eliminations and even the mic'ing of the ring added to the disappointment.

I didn't pay much attention past 1999, but I'll go with 1995 if that was the one where the time between entrants was one minute instead of two.

The one with entries every 60 seconds was horrible. There was also one that didn't go on last, and even worse, a Mark Henry match did. Just ridiculous. Which one was that?

Which one was that? 2006 World Champion Kurt Angle defeated Mark Henry. Rey Jr won the Rumble that year. There has been 5 times since the Event has been on PPV that the Rumble has not been on last. 2013 Rock vs CM Punk 2006 Kurt Angle vs Mark Henry 1998 Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker 1997 Shawn Michaels vs Sid 1996 Undertaker vs Bret Hart

Though the 1999 one looks bad on paper, you have to remember a lot of the guys cited as midcarders were on the cusp of being in main events or at the very least the upper midcard at that time. And that Rumble was essentially a vehicle to further the McMahon-Austin storyline. It did that well and set up the McMahon-Austin showdown at St. Valentine's Day Massacre and the Rock-Austin match at WM XV.

The one that Michaels won by going "from start to finish" which lasted just over half an hour.

I think if there was a poll or write in here that the 1995 Royal Rumble would win by a large margin

While not the worst overall, 1991 was the worst of the "classic era" Rumbles. Slow, boring, too many guys in the ring at once, and mid-carders with no chance inexplicably hanging around forever (Martel, Santana, Hercules, Valentine).
