Royal Rumble 1995

1. Jeff Jarrett defeated Razor Ramon by pinfall to win the Intercontinental Championship

I remember this being better than it was. It seemed like these guys lacked chemistry at points. Most likely, it was just Scott Hall being lazy.

Rating: 2 (out of 5)

2. Undertaker defeated IRS by pinfall

Thanks to the way Undertaker was booked in this era, I don't think anyone thought IRS had any shot of beating him. However, I would gladly have taken this match over the one with King Kong Bundy at WrestleMania.

Rating: 1.25

3. Diesel and Bret Hart wrestled to a double disqualification

***Match Of The Night***

This was a very good match, despite the multiple stoppages. These two always had good chemistry together.

Rating: 3.75

4. Bob Holly and 1-2-3 Kid defeated Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka to win the WWF Tag Team Championships

This was a fun match even though you knew the underdogs were going to win. This also set up the Bigelow/LT fight at WrestleMania, which was a pretty fun moment.

Rating: 3.5

5. Shawn Michaels won the Royal Rumble

This was the year where there were only 1 minute intervals, making this a fast pace match. What really hurt this match was that there were hardly any big names involved. This was Shawn Michaels push to the main event.

Rating: 2.75

This is one of those shows that never really gets talked about. There were two good matches, the beginning Shawn Michaels push, and Bam Bam pushing down Lawrence Taylor. Considering the time this show occurred, and how bad WrestleMania XI was, it's even more surprising how good this show was.

Overall Rating: 77%
