The John Report: Every WWE Royal Rumble Match Review (Not The Whole PPV)

A few years back – I think it was 2011 – I wrote reviews of every Royal Rumble match going back to the first one in 1988, which was a 20 man Rumble and then every Rumble since then. Since we have moved the site, sadly we lost the old links, so I’ve re-posted them all to make them easier for you to access during this year’s Royal Rumble season in case you want to re-watch them and get my thoughts on the matches.

For each Rumble, I provide detailed play by play of the action, plenty of smartass comments, five thoughts on the match, offer up the three stars of the match and offer up some interest stats from the event as well. For the 2013-2015 Rumble matches I just kept in my original reviews, so they are not formatted in exactly the same way as the others.

Here are the links to all of the Rumble matches.
