Your Favorite Royal Rumble eliminations

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Over the past 16 years, there have been plenty of great eliminations, so it's hard for me to narrow it down to one.

 

1991: Luke's dumbass marching in, tossed, then he marches back.

 

1995: Mo's in, Mo's out, literally lasting 2 seconds.

 

1996: Diesel tossing Helsmley out like a doll after a 48:00 iron man run. Just hilarious.

 

1997: Lawler starting a sentence "It takes a king..." enters the ring, is knocked out in 5 seconds, then goes "...to know a king".

 

2000: TAKA's 450 elimination, kissing the floor on the way down.

 

2002: Hurricane attempting a double chokeslam to Austin/HHH, only to be shrugged off and thrown out.

 

2003: Shannon Moore saving Matt Hardy every time until he was F5'ed out.

In no order:

 

1994 - Bret & Luger whip HBK & Fatu into each other. HBK leap frogs Fatu and both are back dropped over the corner and out simultaneously by Luger & Hart.

 

2003 - Brock F5's Matt over the top and onto both members of Team Angle.

 

1997 - Lawler starts a sentence, gets in the ring and gets knocked out, finishes the sentence.

 

1991 - LOD double clotheslines Taker out to a MONSTER pop.

 

1992 - Savage explodes into the ring and it culminates with Jake Roberts being sent packing.

 

And ofcourse,

 

2000 - Taka's face crusher on the floor.

[OldSchoolWrestling 0]

In addition to Taka, Maven eliminating Undertaker was great.

[Aero 0]

In no order...

 

1997: Lawler eliminated by Bret

1999: Chyna by Austin. As soon as Chyna hits the floor, you get to see Mark Henry laughing his ass off while pointing at her.

2001: Kane by Austin. I love the entire end sequence after Rock goes out.

2003: Matt Hardy F-5ed by Brock into Team Angle

2003: Jericho simultaneously tossing Edge & Christian.

 

There's probably a bunch more I'm just not thinking of.

[Guest Mosaicv2]

1989: when Ax & Smash started it off

1990: when Earthquake gets eliminated by 10 or 15 wrestlers

1991: Hogan eliminated Knobs by a boot to the face

1992: Ric Flair eliminatin Sid in the end

1994: the way Diesel (Kevin Nash) dominated the second half

1996: Jake Roberts entrance as he clears the ring with his snake & Lawler hidin under the ring & someone finds him & eliminates him

 

& their was another one where Lawler was eliminated but was hopin on one leg on the floor... but Bret comes out & punches him down

[Guest ToddRoyal]

In addition to those mentioned-

 

95- Bulldog celebrating a victory, and Shawn skinning the cat back in to win.

 

00- Mean Street Posse's multiple attempts to win, and the elimination's getting progressively more brutal.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

& their was another one where Lawler was eliminated but was hopin on one leg on the floor... but Bret comes out & punches him down

This was from a battle royal in February 1995. Lawler was bragging about both feet having to touch, so he just hobbles around on one foot until Bret chases him around the ring and stomps his foot, causing him to drop the other.

Some not mentioned:

 

1992 --- Repo is sneaking in the ring when the Bossman sneaks up on him and propels him out. Repo is left looking around trying to figure out what just happened.

 

Any time Hogan gets eliminated. Always a treat.

 

2001 --- Drew Carey voluntarily leaving the Rumble and knowing enough to go over the top rope.

 

1997 --- Owen cheaply eliminating the Bulldog and saying he was trying to get Austin out. Whoops.

[Lil' Bitch 0]

1991 - Bushwhacker Luke, such a classic sight.

 

1993 - Savage literally getting launched over the top rope to be eliminated last in the RR; seconds after retardedly trying to win it by pinning Yokozuna. I know it was a stupid finish, but I still get a kick out of it everytime.

 

1994 - The double elimination of Luger and Hart, still unbelievable to see.

 

2003 - Shawn Michaels

[Drury37 0]

1992 when Flair eliminates Bossman and just falls down just drained and then he rest for like 15 seconds until Piper comes in and it is just those two.

Thanks.

[deancoles 0]

95. Owen Hart gets his ass kicked by his brother,and when he finally gets away from him he runs into the ring and gets backdropped over the top rope by the Bulldog.

[The Mandarin 0]

I didn't really like Jericho's double elimination of Edge and Christian, they were obviously waiting for Jericho to come back and toss them over. They could have done something to show some signs of struggle instead of just waiting there hunched over. Maybe it was just the camera angle, though.

[Slayer 0]

1992 when Flair eliminates Bossman

and Bossman nearly decaps himself on the lower rope

[godthedog 0]

1992 when Flair eliminates Bossman and just falls down just drained and then he rest for like 15 seconds until Piper comes in and it is just those two.

Thanks.

gorgeous moment when piper's music hits & flair has this priceless "please god no" look on his face. GREAT booking.

 

i think shawn michaels also had more teased eliminations at that rumble than anyone else ever.

[Guest Choken One]

I love Road Dogg in 2000. He straddles the bottom rope for like 20 minutes and pops up suddenly to laugh at Billy Gunn and gets knocked out.

[MillenniumMan831 0]

After Hogan illegally eliminates the Bossman in 1989, Gorilla and Jesse get into a pretty funny exchange:

 

Jesse: So, this is what Hulkaminia is all about?

Gorilla: You got it.

Jesse: . . . Flagrantally cheating, not leaving when you're supposed to, causing others to be eliminated when you got no business out there!

Gorilla: Are you condoning what the Bossman did? (on Saturday Night's Main Event)

Jesse: That was weeks ago, I'm talking about the here and now.

Gorilla: Oh, so I take it you can only remember what happened 5 minutes ago.

[Guest Black Tiger]

1996: HBK hits Sweet Chin music on Diesel JUST as he was eliminating someone (can't remember who) and knocks him out to win it.

 

2000: TAKA's 450, Bradshaw eliminating the MSP when they tried to jump him (also was funny on Smackdown afterwards when APA beat the tar out of them and Farooq yelling at Rodney "YOU WANNA BE A BAD ASS?")

 

1990: Marty Janetty tries a cross body press while DiBiase is against the ropes

 

1989: Hogan double clotheslines both Brain Busters out, and Rockers double dropkick Ron Bass out.

[Guest Choken One]

1996: HBK hits Sweet Chin music on Diesel JUST as he was eliminating someone (can't remember who) and knocks him out to win it.

That would be Kama.

 

That reminds me of another from that rumble...

 

Shawn is loopy from Owen's Kick and Owen goes to throw him out but Nash grabs Owen midflight and slings him over...and Shawn goes over the ropes and skins the cat and slides in between Bulldog's legs and kicks him over...

Wow, I must have forgotten that. I remember Bulldog dumped him over, landed on the apron, Michaels did the slide in and clotheslined Bulldg out in the span of 3 seconds. Of course 1996 isn't a year I view often enough LOL.

 

I'll add in Vader eliminating Flash Funk with an over head slam like Ramon would do. Just ouch.

 

And Vader beating the unholy hell out of Doug Gilbert in 96 for like 4-5 minutes then casually press slams him out.

 

And Vader/Yoko beating down the two fat fucks.

Not to mention, Happy go lucky shawn bouncing around as he entered and throwing punches like crazy and casually pushing nearly 1000 pounds right over the ropes (Vader/Yoko)...

[deancoles 0]

The Warlord one in 1989 is great,he walks down the aisle and stands on the apron and poses,he walks in the ring and Hulk Hogan clotheslines him straight over the top rope.

[Guest Fook]

In 1994 when Bam Bam launches Doink about halfway up the aisle.

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

1990: Marty Janetty tries a cross body press while DiBiase is against the ropes

Yeah, how are you gonna cross body block someone over the top rope without going over yourself? No logic in that. Jannetty was probably on coke.

When wasn't he? LOL I remember reading him and Shawn were either stone or really drunk for WM V, but don't remember. Match was still good somehow.

[Guest Choken One]

The only person who has ever made the crossbody work in a rumble has to be Shawn whom In some rumble just caught himself as he went over...

[King Cucaracha 0]

All those mentioned, but above all...

 

...Lamont in 2004, and his wig seconds earlier. Seriously...did Benoit not realise it was a wig, or what?
