Original Airdate: January 19, 1991
Your Host is Sean Mooney from the control center
Mooney runs down the card to start, complete with rules for the Royal Rumble match itself
Recently, Sgt. Slaughter unveiled a pair of boots gifted to him by Saddam Hussein himself, which he will wear in his WWF Title match against Ultimate Warrior tonight
Mooney reads a ‘special bulletin’ from President Jack Tunney, who immediately distances himself (and the promotion, by extension) from some of the rhetoric by Slaughter as of late. Likely in response to the start of Operation Desert Storm two days before this
Earlier today on the Brother Love Show, Slaughter promised victory tonight
WWF Champion Ultimate Warrior makes his last stand, surrounded by his warriors. He’s the only one there, though. And about as mentally stable as Travis Bickle, honestly
Ted DiBiase/Rhodes family feud review
Dusty and Dustin Rhodes are ready to take care of business tonight. Dustin is really overdoing it with the accent here. Also, he looks like a statue of a young Dusty (as done by a very generous artist)
Big Boss Man/Heenan Family feud review
Barbarian and Bobby Heenan promise to hurt Boss Man tonight
Boss Man is looking forward. And twirling, twirling, all the while
Hulk Hogan is ready to rumble
WWF Intercontinental Champion Mr. Perfect is walking in a champion, and ready to walk out a winner
Earthquake is ready to rumble and/or piss
Undertaker (still with Brother Love) growls. They really still hadn’t nailed down the character yet here
Smash… actually gets an individual promo? I get that Ax was gone by this point, but where was Crush? Why even bother with Smash on his own?
Jim Duggan is ready to be the Florida Man
Rick Martel speaks foreign
Hawk also gets an individual promo. Were guys too busy shitting, or something?
Jake Roberts only cares about the luck of the draw in that he’d better draw a number close to Rick Martel
Randy Savage is full of madness. And drugs, by the looks of him
BUExperience: A good lead in. Nothing more, but nothing less either.
