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
