Curt McGirt Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 '92 also having Macho being Macho and eliminating himself just to whoop up on I think Jake with the refs having to ignore it and Monsoon try and justify it needs a nod. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Either 99 or 2000, Rikishi goes on a run early. Comes in, whoops some ass. Dances with other 2 Cool guys, eliminates them. Whoops more ass. Always thought that was pretty entertaining and Rikishi came off as uber-credible in that spot. Voldemort in 2004, only because I saw him at the Peachtree City World Gym in the weeks leading up to it doing insane amounts of cardio. I remember thinking to myself "I bet he has a big Rumble run this year." Felt like I had a minute stake in him winning. Edit: Just remembered the "non-winning" part. Scratch the Benoit stuff. I did think the other Legacy guys were entertaining the year Orton won, and the Nexus guys protecting Punk was fun. Khali breaking the first line of defense before Mason Ryan comes out. This night is also notable for being the only night Mason Ryan was compelling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Bugg Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 I'll throw in Eddie and Benoit from 2005. They were number one and two, so they spent a majority of the opening minutes having a technical wrestling match. Then Daniel Puder gets in the ring and they commence to whoopin his ass. Then Hardcore Holly gets in there and they really begin teaming up to make Puder their bitch! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Hurricane Helms came out, leading to the classic JR line; "The Hurricane got here just in time to get the hell beat out of him." Always made me laugh. But yeah, that opening segment with Guerrero and Benoit just obliterating Puder with chops is something I watch to get a chuckle every year or so. I know it's wrong, but damn if it isn't funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken it was from Ted's shoot interview. I remember hearing it on my Ipod. Ted was out drinking the night before thinking "Oh I just have a battle royal the next day and I'l be in a few minutes" He found out he was number 1 and thought he was being ribbed. I am a huge Dibiase fan and prefer his shoot over his books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRGoldman Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Undertaker pulling Maven out after being eliminated and essentially hazing him on live PPV remains a memorable moment for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it's shitty for 3 dudes to stiff a rookie like that when he can't defend himself, I did admire the creativity of Holly waiting til Hurricane's entrance to dump Puder so he didn't even get the dignity of an on-camera elimination. That was next-level hazing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Matt Hardy in 2003 was great until you realise it inspired the next thirteen years of absurd ham-fisted attempts to avoid elimination each year by various guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James F'n X Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I forget which Rumble it was that had Road Dogg just clinging to the bottom turnbuckle for like 10 minutes of his time in the match, only to rush over and help someone get eliminated, then back to the corner. I was dying laughing whenever the camera would go to him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Bossman in 2000 for dick-punching everyone in sight. Also, Pete Gas gets a "worst appearance" nod for botching a slide into the ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Harms Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I will always remember Demolition in '89 being one and two, but instead of standing around like a couple pansies they started whooping each other until the next guy came in. I was just a pup but I know I thought "those are real blokes right there". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 JBL in 2014. He was eliminated in three seconds, at which point the crowd began to chant, 'You still got it!'. Quite funny. Quite funny, indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN! Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Video doesn't show the elimination though. Also, if you watch the whole thing, it's like he keeps running back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Does "Funk is on a Roll" hold the record for "song used by the most people as their entrance music in WWE"? You had Miller, Brodus Clay, Sweet T, and Cameron and Naomi. I think that beats out "Real American", which was used by Hogan, Eugene, Axelmania, and Mr. America.

IIRC, "Real American" originally belonged to Windham/Rotunda, so that'd make it the winner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Didn't Windham and Rotundo leave the WWF right before they had a chance to actually use it for an entrance, and that it's only listed as being their theme on the Wrestling Album? What about Brisco, Patterson, or Vince? Did they ever use Real American as goof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson & Brisco did, and it was their theme on No Mercy for n64. for Funk is on a Roll, there's also Xavier Woods "borrowing" Brodus Clay's entrance when he first debuted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamhock Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I think there's brief time period where Windham and Rotundo did use it before Windham left. Maybe Rotundo and Spivey used it? Orndorff also used Real American for his music at least once during his feud with Hogan...it happens before one of the matches on Saturday Night's Main Event.

MonteCarl Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Orndorff regularly used Real American during their feud. It was one of the main plot points of the feud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Big Show also used Real American that one time as "The Showster" on a different PPV than the Rumble. James 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
