westlondonmist Posted April 21 Posted April 21 When I watched WWE it was definitely the Rumble. The Rumble was still a three hour show, so you would not have tons of matches and alot of the storylines would carry on in the Rumble. It felt like an important show. Was a big fan of Survivor Series as a kid though. Quote
The King of Old School Posted April 21 Posted April 21 It was definitely the Rumble before they started having two of them on the same show. Mania and Summerslam always looked forward to, and then All In has to be up there too. Quote
DavidB6937 Posted April 21 Posted April 21 Definitely Rumble for me, although I find their booking really lazy now. So outside of the surprises the matches really lack in any cohesive storytelling most of the time unfortunately. I still hope one day someone will sit down and book it how it should be done. Quote
The Reverend Posted April 21 Posted April 21 The Royal Rumble and Survivor Series were my favourites in their peak years . The Survivor Series was awful once they did away with the team element, and the Rumble is a predictable mess now. I've ranted about it before, but where has the non-stop action gone from earlier years where you'd have a couple of guys hanging onto the top rope, someone else getting a pasting in the corner and then a couple more just ripping it up in the middle of the ring between entrants. Now before an entrant gets in everyone is just having a laydown as if they've been overcome by the stench of Lesnar taking his boots off. So now it's Wrestlemania for me - one because it does still feel like a big deal, two because I do like the whole weekend events surrounding it (Countdowns, HOF etc) and three because it allows me to have a really, really good moan when it inevitably turns to shit, Quote
