Royal Rumble 1994

1. Tatanka defeated Bam Bam Bigelow by pinfall

This was nothing special, but they both worked pretty hard, making this a passable opener.

Rating: 1.5 (out of 5)

2. The Quebecers defeated Bret and Owen Hart by referee stoppage

This match is famous as being the match where Owen turned heel and started the big Hart vs. Hart program that produced some of the greatest matches in WWE history. This match was also pretty darn good as well.

Rating: 3.75

3. Razor Ramon defeated IRS by pinfall

Why was Razor never in the actual Royal Rumble match? This was a pretty screwy match.

Rating: 1.5

4. Yokozuna defeated Undertaker by placing him in the casket

How many men does it take to put the Undertaker in a casket? Apparently, a whole bunch. Shouldn't they have instructed them to all come out at once, rather than one at a time? This is probably one of my least favorite matches I have ever seen on a WWF pay-per-view.

Rating: 0

5. Lex Luger and Bret Hart won the Royal Rumble

The most memorable moment of this Rumble, other than the finish, was the emergence of Diesel. This was his first big moment as a singles star. The entire Bret Hart storyline was well done and the tie made for an exciting finish. If only it didn't lead to Luger/Yokozuna at WrestleMania...

Rating: 3.5

This show is pretty good, featuring a great storyline and a couple of good matches. However, the one dud on the show, is one of the biggest duds in WWF/E history. Still, this is worth watching because it's the Royal Rumble and Bret Hart is just simply the man.

Overall Rating: 67%
