WWF Royal Rumble 1991
from 1 Year in Wrestling Hosted by Matt & Chris
HAPPY ROYAL RUMBLE WEEKEND! The nostalgia is HEAVY on this one! Some great, classic angles here on this one : Macho Man is absolutely the MVP of the night - his various performances are just amazing to watch as he ramps up the rivalry with The Ultimate Warrior that would lead them to Wrestlemania 7. Sgt Slaughter has become an Iraq-sympathizer as USA/Iraq Desert Storm war tensions rise to an uncomfortable place...Sarge ends up winning the Heavyweight belt from the Warrior due to Macho interference. This sets up the Hogan/Slaughter title match at WM7, as Hogan then wins the Royal Rumble later in the evening. Virgil turns on the Million Dollar Man after their match with Dusty & Dustin Rhodes! Classic stuff. The rapid-fire interviews prior to the Rumble, the purple ring apron, Gorilla Monsoon on commentary...ahhh the memories. And what a STACKED roster WWF had at this time!!
