WWF Royal Rumble 1990


WWF Royal Rumble 1990 - January 21 1990 - Orlando, Florida

Matches
The Bushwhackers defeated the Fabolous Rougeaus (5/10)
Brutus Beefcake drew with The Genius (7/10)
Ronnie Garwin defeated Greg Valentine {I Quit Match} (7/10)

Jim Duggan defeated Big Bossman (4/10)
Hulk Hogan defeated 29 other men to win 1990 Royal Rumble (8/10)



Moments - Positives
The Rumble match was brilliant. It truly shone through and was most certainly the best Rumble match thus far. There was an absolutley classic moment between Hogan and Warrior in the middle of the Rumble match which eventually built up the Wrestlemania VI main event. I am unsure why, but this moment will live on in my memory of classic Rumble moments.

Moments - Negatives
The opening match was pretty average and I thought the Duggan / Bossman match was pretty awful. Overall though, not many other negatives for this event.

Overall Summary
Another solid Royal Rumble event which did a nice job of building up Wrestlemania VI, and particularly the main event match up. It was the first event when you really saw WWE(F) concentrate on build up and story telling. It was also the first Rumble match up which felt like a true build up to Wrestlemania.

SCORE = 8.0
