Topic	Lopen watches and talks about all the Royal Rumbles. And ranks them. TURBO.
Lopen 01/29/17 12:42:13 AM #90:	Royal Rumble 1996 I'm pretty sure I've seen this Rumble standalone, but I don't remember it at all. Or maybe I saw 1995 and I didn't remember it at all. I know I saw one of the two 90s Rumbles Michaels won at some point. First Rumble with music for the mid-match entrances whoo. This Rumble kinda reminded me of 1989. Lots of sideshows strewn throughout the thing. You've got the hog farmer's slop, Damien evacuating the ring, an eliminated Vader throwing everyone out and then it not counting, Jerry Lawler hiding under the ring (this could've been cool but it was unceremoniously resolved), Razor chasing 123 Kid around. Just a lot of gimmicks. Unfortunately unlike in 1989 I found all these gimmicks to be annoying and they broke up the action rather than adding to the experience. Oh and the damn replays they were spamming all over the place like they were so proud of their new toy, oftentimes distracting from what was actually going on. I like how the announcers were claiming Owen Hart was not eliminated because the damn instant replay made them miss it. Now that being said, the action in ring was better than 89. In large part due to Vader and Yokozuna who were the MVPs of the Rumble to me. I got much entertainment out of those two wrecking shop. They also had the only sideshow I actually enjoyed which was the thing with the Squat Team dude getting eliminated, then both of em coming back, and Vader and Yoko just eliminating both again. Shame they were only in the first half or so, but Yoko was getting tired. Pretty meh Rumble for me-- which is a big improvement over 1995 to be sure. It was watchable but I was much closer to putting 1989 over this one than putting this one over 1994. As for the Undercard (or overcard in case of Bret v Taker) it was kinda whatever. Taker vs Bret was almost identical to Diesel vs Bret, right down to the bs finish (all these PPV main events with DQs), but worse. And who thought that stupid mask Taker had was a good idea anyway. Royal Rumble Ranking: 1992 > 1990 > 1994 > 1996 > 1989 > 1988 > 1993 > 1991 > 1995 Oh and Kama the Supreme Fighting Machine coming out to Too Much's theme music I couldn't help but laugh. Also wtf Dory Funk I thought that guy retired in like, the 80s. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! <cite>Lopen posted [p:871787806] in Lopen watc...
