Random thoughts of a Disturbed Mind: One more match...

[One more match...]

A few posts back I mentioned that I re-watched Royal Rumble 1995 recently. I finally got off my butt and captured the closing stages of the Royal Rumble match itself. Shawn Michaels drew number 1, and went coast-to-coast by winning the Rumble. The pictures below tell the story of how the Rumble match ended.

The British Bulldog thought he had eliminated Michaels by clotheslining him over the top rope, but Michaels held on, and with only 1 foot touching the floor managed to get himself back into the ring and knock the still-celebrating Bulldog over the top rope and onto the floor and thus winning the Rumble. Pamela Anderson can be seen in the last 2 pictures, as she's supposed to accompany the winner of the Rumble to Wrestlemania.

Of course, since 1995, a few wrestlers have done what Michaels did, that is to draw number 1 and win the Rumble. Chris Benoit did it....Is there anyone else? I can't remember. One thing to note is that Michaels also won the 1996 Rumble, although he did not draw number 1 this time.

Many people will always remember the 1995 Royal Rumble because it was the first time in the history of the Rumble that someone who drew number 1 won. People tend to forget that the Bulldog drew number 2, and he lasted till the very end. So technically, he lasted just as long as Michaels.
