I attended Royal Rumble: No Chance In Hell. While the undercards were ok, the "I Quit" match between The Rock and Mankind was unbeliveable. The bump that Mick Foley took was unreal and the way The Rock laided the smack down was truly worth watching. You have to see it to live to belive it. The actual Royal Rumble was not bad with an ending nobody really expected. This video is worth it.

If you don't order this video, YOU'VE GOT NO CHANCE IN HELL of catching the best PPV of 1999. Wile this video could simply be the Rock vs. Mankind I quit match, the actual rumble is actually quite good. I hated the outcome when I first watched it live, yet Vince McMahon is such a fabulous entertainer, that now I really appreciate the ending. Anyway, the undercard is good too, and I would definitely reccomend this to any WWF fan. Also, Survivor Series '98 was fabulously done, and Summerslam '99 was incredible too.

The 1999 Royal Rumble was suprisingly not that good as I expected. Here are the matches.

1. Road Dogg vs. Big Boss Man 6/10

Not a good way to start the pay-per-view. Not good because it did not have Hardcore Rules.

2. Ken Shamrock vs. Billy Gunn 7/10

A little better than the first but this match was still not satisfying.

3. X-Pac vs. Gangrel 8/10

First good match of the night. Very fast pace one too, but I did not like the ending. I wanted Gangrel to be the new European champ but that did not happen.

4. Sable vs. Luna (Strap Match) 5/10

The worst match of the night. It is a lttle pointless but it is not as terrible as some of the other reviewers say it is.

5. The Rock vs. Mankind (I Quit match) 10/10

The BEST match of the night. These two guys sacrificed everything (especially Mankind). It is a little too hardcore because Mankind was bleeding non-stop, Mankind was hit with a chair many many times, and Mankind almost got electricuted. I did not like the ending though. This match was crazy.

6. The Royal Rumble Match 8/10

Good match, but the ring was clear most of the match. I actually kind of liked the ending when Vince wins because it caught me by suprise, and I like getting surprised. That makes it predictable and then unpredictable. Some of the highlights were Mabel, Kane, and Stone Cold Steve Austin clearing the ring at least at one point in the match. Chyna (who was number 30) eliminated Mark Henry too!!

This Royal Rumble is very memorable for many reasons. I have
watched almost all the Royal Rumbles and alot of them weren't
physical, but this one sure stands out!!!

We see a physical, hard hitting strap match between former employee/wrestler Sable -Rena Mero- and Luna. The rivalry between the 2 has been going on for some time and it comes to blow in this match. Both ladies take a beating and the better woman wins this match. I wont spoil it for you by saying who wins.

We also see a tough match between the 300 pounds of the Big Boss Man against the Road dog in Special Challenge match. Both men beat the hell out one another and it's a good match.

One memorable match is between Ken Shamrock and Billy Gunn for the IC Title. Before the match we see how this feud got started. Billy Gun proceeds to show his butt to Ken Shamrock's sister. Shamrock gets his revenge at the end.

The European Match between XPac and Gangrel is also a good match but not physical like the others but still alot of high flying moves from XPAC.

Speaking of high flying and physical the "I Quit" match between then Corporate Champion-The Rock, and then WWF Champion-Mankind is one of the greatest matches in WWF history even though the ending is a ripoff. We hear so much foul language in this match that I was laughing my head off, on top of that we get one of the most bloodiest matches in history. If you have seen King of the Ring 98 between The Undertaker and Mankind, you can expect the same thing. Mick Foley sacrificing his body to put on quite a show. This is a Foley trademark and would be the subject of controversy as Foley did somewhat the dumb mistake of inviting his kids to see such a violent mess. This would be later recalled in "Beyond The Mat". Foley once said he was jealous of the Rock or implied that he was jealous certainly this wasn't his best moment but as Foley does he puts the business first.

Now the Royal Rumble is also a must see because its the only Rumble where Vince McMahon is a #2 in the Rumble and Stone Cold is #1, McMahon
has put a bounty on Stone Cold, but that doesnt prevent Stone Cold from beating the hell out of Vince.

A great Royal Rumble, if you havent seen any of them make sure you see this one!!!

I guarantee you wont be disappointed.

The 1999 Royal Rumble had only 2 great matches but were worth the purchase: The Rumble match and the "I quit" match. the rock vs mankind "I quit" match had NO parts of boredom anywhere in the match, an extremely well fought match that will stay in rumble history forever. Most people were disappointed in vince mcmahon winning the 1999 royal rumble, however I thought it was great. I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN THE FACT THAT VINCE MCMAHON DIDN'T GO ON TO WRESTLEMANIA XV TO FACE THE ROCK!!!! THE WWF TOTALLY SCREWED UP ROYAL RUMBLE TRADITION WITH THIS!!!! The rumble match was OK, not a classic. If your only a hardcore WWF fan, buy this.

Is this PPV worth the money? I guess so, but when i watched it for the 1st time, i did not enjoy it that much. The undercard is not TOO good. Did anyone actually think that Gangrel would beat X-Pac or Luna beat Sable?...There are 4 titles on the line including the WWF, Intercontinetal, Womens and European, none of the matches are too exciting except for the Luna/Sable Strap match because I just love Sable. Some screw ups in the European title match ,but is still decent never the less. Bossman/Road Dogg, easily the worst match on the card. The main event was good, as there were many excitin moments in the match, but the Rock winning was a shame, especially the way he did. The Royal Rumble itself was pretty good. I would say it was the best match on the card. St. Valentine's Day Massacre, the month after is better then royal rumble though. I am sayin this because of the Last man standing match b/w Rock &Manking which was a much better match then I QUIT. So basically, this PPV can be considered a decent PPV. I would rate this a 7 /10 PPV, only because of some jobbers like Gangrel and Mr.Ass being in 2 title matches and the way that the rock won the title

Don't get me wrong. The 1999 Royal Rumble wasn't too bad. But despite the amazingly brutal and all-too real beating handed out to Mick Foley by The Rock in their I Quit match, the fact that the entire show was based around the actual Rumble itself annoyed me a bit, especially since after the initial excitement of Steve Austin finally getting his paws on Vince McMahon died down, the Rumble was actually a fairly tedious one, overflowing with mid-carders who we all knew had no hope of winning it anyway. However, it is worth buying for the I Quit match alone.

i liked this rumble it was very good the best match was the"I QUIT" match another good match was X Pac (my favorite)vs.Gangrel X Pac wins of course he gets an x factor there was also Bossman vs.Road Dogg it was allright there was bad a** Billy Gunn vs.Ken Shamrock it was a pretty good match up and for the last and STOOPIDEST match was sable vs.luna on a strap match it was just a waist of time to watch and a waist of tape space this video is worth getting if anybody tells you it su**s it dosent it is one of the best rumbels it has allot of good guys coming in like Kane and X Pac the best wrestlers

2. Billy Gun vs. Ken Shamrock for the Itc title- This was alot better than the first match and it was at leats for a title which made the match better.

Winner and still Itc champ Ken Shamrock. Match Rating 6.5/10.

3. X-Pac vs. Gangrel for the europen title- This was a decent match. I always have liked x-pacs in ring work but i think gangrel took alot away from this ,atch and it was not that good. Worth a watch for the first time but no more than that. Winner and still europenchamp x-pac. Match Rating 6/10.

The ending is sick were mankind is handcuffed and takes 11 chair shots to the head was hard to watch. Winner and new wwe champ the rock. Match Rating 10/10.

Deffently not good becuase there were two people that had a decent chance of winning stone cold and vince mcmhaon . Horriable slection in this match. It was hard to watch but it was not horriable. The good thing was the ending was unpredicatrble which was a surprise and i like it. Winner Vince McMahon. Match Rating 7.5/10.
