Original Airdate: January 21, 1990
Your Host is Sean Mooney from the control center
Sean starts by running down the card
Big Boss Man is going to destroy Jim Duggan, and Slick is going to slap Jim’s mama for good measure
Jim Duggan thinks Boss Man is not only a disgrace to the badge, but to all the people in the country, too. Duggan actually notes that he won the very first Royal Rumble match, which I think is one of the few times they ever really acknowledged that win after the pay per view version came along
Genius promises victory over Brutus Beefcake. He feels very low energy here
Brutus Beefcake is planning some struttin’ and cuttin’, and even offers us a poem. Beefcake seemed to be taking all the stimulants Genius didn’t that night
Ron Garvin is ready to hammer jam Greg Valentine in their submission match
Greg Valentine isn’t sweating Garvin. Nor should he. There’s nothing to be scared of, Donny
The Bushwhackers are very excited. Not really sure what about, no idea what they’re saying
The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers are going to beat the Bushwhackers for America
Brother Love is really looking forward to having Sensational Sherri and Sapphire as his guests on the Brother Love Show tonight
WWF Intercontinental Champion Ultimate Warrior is ready to Rumble
Honky Tonk Man feels he will win the Rumble
Randy Savage is planning to walk the red carpet all the way to Rumble victory
Roddy Piper is glad the event is on a Sunday, because if he ain’t winning, it’s because he died trying, and then at least he’ll go to heaven
WWF Tag Team Champions The Colossal Connection bicker as manager Bobby Heenan notes that it’s every man for himself
Bad News Brown thinks we should sell everything we own to bet it on him in the Rumble
Jimmy Snuka is… on some hard drugs, by the looks of things
Koko B Ware is going so crazy that Frankie tries attacking him. And Koko doesn’t even break for a second! Now that’s a pro, no wonder he made it into the Hall of Fame!
Rick Martel is going to win the Rumble as a way to kick of the 1990s
Bret Hart has what it takes to win the Rumble. More like ‘everything it takes to almost win a Rumble’
The Rockers are ready to tackle the Rumble as a team
Rick Rude won’t play second fiddle to anyone, including the rest of the Heenan Family
Hercules has been praying for the Rumble
Mr. Perfect isn’t interested in the luck of the draw, he can get it done no matter when he comes in
Demolition are gunning for the Colossal Connection in the Rumble
Jake Roberts thinks the Rumble is a sick concept, but he’s ready to put his career on the line for the glory. Good promo from Jake here, he was great during this period
Jim Neidhart feels lucky tonight
The Powers of Pain are going to win as a late Christmas present to Mr. Fuji
Dusty Rhodes is ready for the Bunkhouse Stampede
Tito Santana is ready to hang out
Dino Bravo and Earthquake are not going it alone
Ted DiBiase and Virgil are sick of the insinuations that Ted cheated to get number thirty last year
WWF Champion Hulk Hogan survived the Survivor Series, he survived No Holds Barred, and now he’ll survive the Rumble
Sean dips out, and we get a literal countdown for the final seven minutes. Lazy!
BUExperience: This was fun and fast paced - even if they couldn’t be bothered to fill the entire runtime.
