    I would honestly pray to God* that the local video rental store would have Royal Rumble on Fridays as a kid I loved it that much. I don't know why but I did. 

    *I am not and never have been religious but I thought I should hedge my bets. 

    I do remember sometimes having a hankering for Royal Rumble that I’d go down that I’d get disappointed it wasn’t there. When that was the case my backup was baseball games. ...And boy, the SNES sure had a lot of Baseball games to play. 

    Edit: Wait no, fuck that! Saturday Night Slam Masters was the game I had a real hard on for. I remember when my Blockbuster got that at around the time the SNES was after it’s point of relevance, but somehow still had one and a half isles devoted to it. It’s pretty crazy to think how long SNES, and Genesis(Although that only had half a shelf) were able to hang on there.

    There being different SNES and Genesis versions of Super WrestleMania and Royal Rumble was confusing as heck, I imagine. The SNES Super WrestleMania didn't have special moves, but it did have Typhoon! Oh boy...?

    Genesis must have been the lead platform if I had to guess. But I remember the Genesis version looked like shit compared to the SNES. 

    LJN... What a piece of shit. I can’t believe one of the roms I hacked into my SNES Classic was Royal Rumble. That shit doesn’t deserve to be alongside Chase HQ.

    Except that Jesse Ventura's contentious co-announcing with a clearly contemptuous Vince McMahon on that one RAW that he guest GM'd a few years back pulls it back into a tie!

    Yeah, that proved he never lost a step, and he was able to get Vince to dial back down his personality to pre-Monday Night Raw Era Vince. For a small moment in time the presentation on WWE television improved drastically.

    It's only been in the past couple years that I've noticed wrestlers looking at the ref's count so they can kick out at 2.5, but there's HHH doing it ten years ago above. Was it widespread even then and I just never noticed? Certainly takes some of the fun out of near falls once you're aware of it.

    I too have noticed that I believe when Meltzer pointed it out after an Okada match. It also helps that you notice this the most with that specific camera angle.

    Its probably always been around in some form for a long long time. Like I remember when people pointed out CM Punk’s blatant spot calling. After that I started to notice more and more wrestlers from today, and the past blatantly on camera calling spots. It’s the same with slight of hand with magic tricks. Once you see it, you can never not look for it.

    Eh, that's more of what Jesse did in commentary.  Heenan was more of the guy who would claim "my monitor must have gone out, I missed that" when a heel would hit a face with a chair.  It was less calling out the good guys and more cheering on the bad ones.

    Exactly... Jesse was the one pointing out the bias, and conspiring by the system for Hulk Hogan. Which is funny because now he lives somewhere in Mexico trying to hide from the US Government.  Who are trying to STOP HIM FROM TELLING THE TRUTH.

    Also Ventura > Heenan
