This one was all good!

The 1991 Royal Rumble is one of my favorite ppv's ever, this goes for all ppv's too. The entire card was great. You wouldn't think that by just looking at the matches written out on paper, you gotta see them for yourselves! Oh how I love this show!

The opener is the Rockers against the New Orient Express, and it contains probably some of the best wrestling moves and techniques you'll ever see. They really got the crowd cheering (and booing). Lots of high flying and daredevil stuff, it's just great. The match length was perfect too, went almost 20 minutes. The Rockers get the win.

I love their entrance music, I'm trying to find it...anyone know where I could get some old wwf
entrance theme music?

Big Bossman vs. Barbarian:
You just gotta see it to see how good it really is. These guys never really got main event status, but they put on one heck of a match for about 8 minutes. Two huge guys beating the hell out of each other. Bossman wins by pinfall.

Ultimate Warrior vs. Sgt. Slaughter:
The Warrior completely dominates for the first 5 minutes or so, then the cheating begins. Sensational Sherri comes out and forces the Warrior to chase her, then Randy Savage comes out of nowhere and blasts him and beats on him. Warrior gets back in the ring and gets dominated by Sarge for a while then starts to fight back. Sherri comes back, and Savage also, so Slaughter gets a cheap shot from behind, then Savage whacks the Warrior in the head with his scepter and Sarge gets the 1-2-3 for the WWF Championship!

Then theres Dusty & Dustin Rhodes against Ted Dibiase and Virgil. Not much of a match, Dibiase pins Dusty, but I love what happens after! Virgil decks Dibiase with the Million $$$ Belt and becomes a face! It was probably deafening in that arena when that happened. Great moment.

The Rumble Match:

This is one of my favorites!!! I'm not going to spend all that much talking about it, but it contains many MANY great performances by 2/3 of the entire participants.

The Undertaker makes his Royal Rumble debut here, he had just debuted in the WWF at the Survivor Series about two months before this, so he was still managed by Brother Love. He gets a few eliminations.

Rick Martel enters #6 and is still there after #30 Tugboat enters. In fact, he's in the final 5 but makes a stupid move. He'd been in the match over 52 minutes though, so he could have been "not all there." He also fakes about 10 eliminations all the while he's in there, kind of comical, heh heh.

Hulk Hogan enters at #24 (he's never had an entry number below 18 in his four rumbles), and proceeds to eliminate 7 guys all by himself. Including Earthquake, who was # 7, to win for the 2nd year in a row, and in three tries.

WINNER: Hulk Hogan

Here are the top 5 in endurance (check these out):

#6 Rick Martel --- 52:27
#3 Greg Valentine 44:13
#10 Hercules ----- 37:43 (!)
#14 British Bulldog 36:47
#11 Tito Santana - 30:30

The rest (and quite impressive):

#17 Shane Douglas - 26:28
#22 Earthquake ---- 24:44
#5 Texas Tornado -- 24:20
#24 Hulk Hogan ---- 20:57
#1 Bret Hart ---------- 20:36
#20 Crush ------------ 18:37
#15 Smash ----------- 18:26
#23 Mr. Perfect ---- 16:16
#12 Undertaker ----- 14:19

#9 Jake Roberts --- 13:00
#26 Jim Neidhart -- 11:11

#28 Brian Knobbs -- 10:07

Wow, eh? Twenty total out of the 29 over ten minutes!! Macho Man was #18 but never came out).

Jimmy Snuka entered # 13 and lasted 8:07 himself.

Pretty darn good show all the way through, very solid. I love it.


This is my signature, nice eh?
