Lopen 01/26/17 9:40:19 PM #5:	Royal Rumble 1990: This Rumble I saw as a kid, but was way better than I remembered. Like, I'm not even sure the action was all that great but man like, this roster just felt stacked. First 11 numbers you have Randy Savage, Roddy Piper, Ted Dibiase, Bret Hart, Dusty Rhodes, Andre the Giant, Even the less legendary guys in the lot like Marty Janetty were guys I at least had some fondness for. This just felt like a big deal, much moreso than the previous two, and it was all about winning the match. You very rarely had any moments where there weren't big names in there. Ted Dibiase meanwhile completely redeems himself from the year before, coming off as a total badass and staying in there forever from the #1 spot in this sea of legends. Dude doesn't need to pay to make things easier-- he's just smart and chooses to do so. I think I sorta just grouped it with 1991 cause I was pretty disappointed with the ending on both-- I was never a very big Hogan fan (Hogan being a dick and opportunistically eliminating Warrior here probably didn't help with that!) so they kinda just blur together in my head. I'll get back to 1991 next write-up, but suffice to say they're not very alike at all. Random thought: I appreciate Hercules and Earthquake a lot more in these things than I used to. I mean, they're no good in the ring or anything but man they have legit presence without being overly ridiculous like The Warlord. Which is impressive because I think Hercules was about as jobbery as The Warlord? Maybe not. The undercard was completely unmemorable, but I quite enjoyed this Rumble. Rumble Ranking: 1990 > 1988 > 1989 --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! <cite>Lopen posted [p:871635218] in Lopen watc...
