callanvass Live from Miami, FLAttendance: 16,000The Rockers Vs The Orient ExpressThe Rockers win. This was a fantastic opener. It was innovative, creative, and downright exciting. These two have always had good chemistry with each other. This was revenge for The Rockers after losing to The Orient Express at Wrestlemania 6.**** out of 5Randy Savage says Sensational Sherri is gonna bait The Ultimate Warrior into giving Savage a title shot. Sherri begs The Warrior to come out and accept her challenge. She says Sgt. Slaughter has agreed to give Macho a title shot. He thinks Warrior is yellow from the top of his head, all the way down to his toes. Sherri asks Warrior if he'll give Savage a title shot if Warrior retains the title tonight. Sherri tries seducing The Warrior by touching his chest, teasing about kissing him. Warrior spits at Sherri and yells NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO at her. Savage runs out to try to get The Warrior, but he's gone. Big Bossman Vs The BarbarianBossman wins by reversing the momentum from a cross body. This was shockingly a good match. They both worked extremely hard and there were several exciting near falls. I'm not kidding. This is a solid match, considering how big both men are. Give it a chance.**3/4 out of 5Sgt. Slaughter says puke this, puke that, Ultimate Puke this, blah, blah, blah. Basically, he's gonna win the WWF title from Ultimate Warrior tonight. The Warrior cuts one of his nonsensical, yet entertaining promos.WWF ChampionUltimate Warrior (C) Vs Sgt. SlaughterSlaughter wins the title after Savage breaks a glass scepter over The Warrior's face. The crowd is ANGRY! with loud bullsh*** chants. Not a very good match, but it had a great story to it, thanks to the emotion behind it and Savage's interference's. Slaughter was awful at this point, but he was a heat magnet. He was merely a transitional champion, but I understand why they gave the title to Slaughter.*1/2 out of 5Koko B. Ware Vs The MountieThe Mountie wins, using The Big Bossman's move, ironically enough. This felt like it went on forever. It was nothing but boring filler to calm the crowd down, the crowd sensed it too, since they barely reacted. *1/4 out of 5We get a bunch of interviews to kill some time. They are all very entertaining.Ted Dibiase & Virgil Vs Dusty Rhodes & Dustin RhodesDibiase and Virgil win after Dibiase pins Dusty with a roll-up. Virgil turns face after the match by drilling Dibiase with the Million Dollar Belt. This was a below average match with one of the best face turns you will see. The crowd went nuts for Virgil. Shows you how amazing of a heel Dibiase was. Amazing stuff.*3/4 out of 5Hulk Hogan wins the Royal Rumble by Eliminating Earthquake to win it. This was a solid rumble for the most part. Bret Hart drew number 1 and went a solid 20 minutes or so. Greg Valentine was number 2 and went for over 40 minutes. He also turned face by going after Jimmy Hart. Tony Atlas returned as Saba Simba (A ridiculously bad gimmick) The Legion of Doom eliminated a dominant Undertaker. One of the Bushwhackers almost set a record for being the quickest eliminated. Rick Martel and Jake Roberts had some fun interaction. Martel broke Dibiase's record by lasting almost 60 minutes. Hogan got the biggest pop by far coming out. Even Tugboat got booed by going after Hogan. Hogan winning was the right choice, considering the Sgt. Slaughter debacle. It was good feel good moment. Overall, I enjoyed it, despite the dead weight at times.This is a very good PPV. Aside from a couple of crappy matches, it was awesome. The Rockers and The Orient Express stole the show, Bossman and The Barbarian surprised everyone, Virgil's face turn is legendary, and the WWF was turned upside down with Slaughter winning the title. Of course, everyone goes home happy with Hogan winning. Highly recommended.8/10

zkonedog After a Rumble event the previous year that, truth be told, may have been a bit disappointing, this 1991 edition comes back with a bang!As usual, the preliminaries fall a bit flat (this time "headlined" by perhaps the worst Heavyweight Title match in WWF history), but the main event is as hilarious and entertaining as usual. All the stars are given their time to shine, and there is a lot of overall energy to the event.About the only negative I can say about this tape is the absence of Jesse "The Body" Ventura from the announcing booth. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper fills in as best as can be expected, but Ventura's sardonic wit is missed.Thus, if you are looking for a great walk down memory lane, this event will do it for you!

andy4u2call **spoilers ahead**If you are a fan of endurance and longevity like I am, then you'll absolutely love this show, preferrably the royal rumble match. While all the regular matches on the card were exciting and entertaining (especially the opening Rockers/Orient Express bout), obviously, none could compare to the 30-man (actually 29-man), over-the-top-rope contest at the end of the show. It is fantastic. Non-stop action and excitement for well over an hour.Some of the interesting spots in the rumble include the Undertaker (no tattoos), who debuts in his very 1st royal rumble match, and is led to the ring by Brother Love, Rick Martel faking eliminations left and right throughout the battle, and, oh yes, the incredible endurance shown by almost 2-dozen of the participants. I'm not giving away the names, but there were a total of twenty wrestlers involved in the match who ended up remaining inside the ring for ten minutes or more. It's just incredible how there were so many, my goodness. There were also ten wrestlers who lasted twenty minutes or more, and an amazing five guys that lasted for at least 30 or more. Now that's what I love, a true rumble match. In royal rumbles, there are usually two wrestlers that get remembered, the one who wins, and the one who lasts the longest. But in this case, in this show, you can forget about that. It's just brilliant.Some other interesting and exciting spots in the show: The entire Rockers/Orient Express match, it certainly was a terrific opener with lots of high-flying crowd-pleasing action, Virgil's face turn from that "heel" the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase, the Sensational Sherri/Ultimate Warrior segment....Hell, even the Big Boss Man/Barbarian match was interesting. I loved the entire show, and I will continue to watch it over and over and over again. It is certainly one of my favorites of all time in the Royal Rumble catalog, but nothing could or will ever top the 1992 edition. Thank you.
