Guest Choken One Report post Posted June 23, 2003 For Some reason...I recall reading about in the Mid 90's WWF in a effort to boost ticket sales for a MSG show booked an non-television Royal Rumble? Is this true and if so...Who went over and how if at all was it different from the normal PPV rumbles? Edit-Whoops. Send this to Old School if you will please.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted June 23, 2003 I'd mark if they brought back the House Show Rumbles... It would revive the scene a little... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted June 23, 2003 Brooklyn Brawler won either a battle royal or a Rumble at The Garden in 1993. Didn't he also win one in either late-'97 or early-'98 to earn a title shot against HBK at MSG? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mattdotcom Report post Posted June 23, 2003 Yeah, Brawler got a shot against Michaels... I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one. Was it his birthday or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2003 Yeah, Brawler got a shot against Michaels... I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one. Was it his birthday or something? I dunno... It kinda reminds me of how Barry Horowitz ALMOST got a shot at the Intercontinental Championship when Jeff Jarrett was champ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted June 23, 2003 I remember that one... My favorite battle royal was the Main Event Battle Royal where Perfect won... but I never got why They had Perfect-Hammer-Shawn-Barbarian as the final four... Dug the Tugboat/Hogan shit tho...

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted June 23, 2003 they should just make a WWE Tape of the best Battle Royals/Royal Rumbles including the one where special Delivery Jones and Rocky Johnson was left and SD took a dive for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you talking about the one that Rock won right after he left the Nation? - I have that on tape somewhere, it's insanely good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted June 23, 2003 Along with the MECCA of Battle Royales- The aforementioned Main event Battle royale... I dug the royal in 1995 right after Shawn won the royal rumble...He walked outside for about 3 minutes and rolled in and DBS backdropped the FUCK outta him onto the floor and won beating the Eli Brothers to win it all... I dug the IC title royale but hated the "Last two men in wrestle for the title next week" stip...that was shawn playing the SAME role as he did that one...

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2003 I want them to show the Battle Royal just before WrestleMania 15 again. If just for the entrances...I liked how the announcers said "WHAT" when they went to the back for Gillberg. EDIT: Oh, and for Jarrett and Owen's commentarry to it.

That IC title battle royal is one of my all-time favorite non-Rumble battle royales. Also theres a good one on Best of WWF 20 with Bret, Martle, Tito & Hennig as the final 4.

If your talking about the one on superstars in February 95, HBK jumped over the top rope avoiding 10-12 pissed off people, causing major heel heat. Bulldog DID win though. Lawler pulled a HBK by hopping on one foot until Bret stepped on his foot causing him to have to put both feet down. HILARIOUS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
