Godfrey Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 It's Royal Rumble time of year! I look forward to the Rumble every year, sometimes cynically to see if they mess it up but mostly to see something great happens and it usually does. It also has lot of confusing spots like this one.
PetrolCB Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Man, Macho had a real boneheaded three year stretch in Rumbles. He doesn't show up in '91, eliminates himself in '92 by accident and that dopey move up above. You could say those matches never did him any favors. In '89 he is thrown out by his friend and partner in Hogan. I'll give a pass for '90 though, I forget if he did something stupid but he had some goddamn bitchin gear that night. 3
John from Cincinnati Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Even though they normally play it safe, I love the Rumble. One of my favourite events every single year. And Seth Rollins probably won't win this year, so it's definitely gonna be better than the last one! 5
The Natural Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Bobby Heenan: "Dammit!" The 1992 Royal Rumble match. Legendary for the match, Ric Flair's performance and the commentary by Bobby Heenan/Gorilla Monsoon. This isn't fair to Flair! I'll be watching this in the lead to this year's Royal Rumble event.

Nice Guy Eddie Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 I'm considering watching the rumble. I'm such a sucker for the rumble matches. The last WWE ppv I watched was last year's rumble. I lost interest in Mania when Charlotte was added to the Becky/Ronda match. 2

Steamboat works for the fans on Mars. High school drama club kids look at Steamboat like, "damn, Ricky, dial it back a notch." Who is misting Ricky here?
BurningBeard Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 The only thing I wish they'd changed with Rumble 92 was Flair coming in at #1. For me, the Rumble has always been defined by the surprise entrants. Jake returning at Rumble 96 was a big 'wow' as was Mr Perfect in 2002 2

Technico Support Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Man, every time I see Demolition, my youthful illusion of them as scary badasses fades more. First it was grown-up me realizing that they just look like middle aged accountants all geared up for a BDSM weekend. Now I also see that Ax got less than zero air on their finish and it was about as devastating and any old elbow drop from an standing wrestler to a grounded opponent. 1 1

As I got older, Demolition got scarier to me. I think it was someone on here that once said: "LOD looked like they would kill you. Demolition looked like they would kill you and rape your corpse.". As for Ax getting zero air, he is delivering the elbow to a practically immobile Mr. Fuji at WM5 in that gif. The elbow usually looked better than that. Edited January 9, 2020 by Nice Guy Eddie 3 2

Demolition gets much scarier as an adult...or after you've seen Pulp Fiction, whatever comes first. 4
