Royal Rumble Deadlist
Royal Rumble Deadlist
The WWE is holding it's annual Royal Rumble pay-per-view tonight. It's traditionally my favorite pay-per-view and match of the year.
This'll be the 19th Royal Rumble.
Did a little research. I was wondering whether we've had a Royal Rumble match that still has all its participants alive. Given the short lifespan of the modern professional wrestler, combined with last November's death of Eddie Guerrero, I was willing to be that there is no previous Royal Rumble match in which all 30 (or 20, in the case of 1988's rumble) participants are still alive.
The results:
1988: Dino Bravo is dead
1989: Big John Studd, Andre the Giant, Big Boss Man, Hercules Hernandez
1990: Andre the Giant, Dino Bravo, Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig, Hercules Hernandez
1991: Dino Bravo, Hawk (of the Road Warriors), Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig, Davey Boy Smith, Hercules Hernandez, Kerry von Erich
1992: Big Boss Man, Hercules Hernandez, Davey Boy Smith, Kerry von Erich
1993: Owen Hart, Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig
1994: Owen Hart
1995: Davey Boy Smith, Owen Hart
1996: Owen Hart
1997: Owen Hart, Davey Boy Smith
1998: Owen Hart
1999: Owen Hart, Big Boss Man
2000: Big Boss Man, Davey Boy Smith
2001: Crash Holly
2002: Big Boss Man, Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig
2003: Eddie Guerrero
2004: Ta Da!
2005: Eddie Guerrero
We now see that out of all the Royal Rumbles, only 2004's Rumble has all its 30 participants still alive.
I'd have lost the bet.
