Ted DiBiase had been treating Virgil, his bodyguard, worse and worse.

As it continues on, fans begin to anticipate the dickish heel finally getting his comeuppance, and then they go nuts when it finally happens. The one being treated like garbage takes it, but they’re clearly getting frustrated by the entire thing. You have two heels, but with time, one of them begins treating the other one like garbage.

Virgil’s Face Turn (1991): We’ve seen stories like this time and time again in pro wrestling. Shelton could always be counted on to produce at least one jaw-dropping spot that would have everyone talking, but he would eventually lose the match, anyway.Ģ8. It was like Shelton Benjamin in the early days of the Money In The Bank ladder match. The only reason that this isn’t listed higher is that… well… he would end up being eliminated… every… single… year. Falling out of the ring into a handstand and “walking” to the ring steps? Jumping onto Tensai’s back and then using JBL’s chair at the announce table like a pogo stick to bounce himself back to the ring apron? Running from the barricade in the aisle and jumping to the ring apron as if he were Bob Beamon? Being caught by Adam Rose’s Rosebuds and placed back into the ring? Every single year, he was doing something wild to avoid being eliminated from the Rumble. It wasn’t a major part of the story, and it wouldn’t play into the ending at all, but it was still fun to see how things would play out nonetheless. Kofi Kingston Avoiding Elimination (Numerous Years): Every year, keeping up with Kofi Kingston in the Royal Rumble was like participating in a video game side quest. This appearance would open the door for other women to be in the men’s Rumble in future years.Ģ9. It wasn’t the first time we saw her get physical with the men on the roster, and it wouldn’t be the last time, but her eliminating Mark Henry was a fun spot. Chyna Makes History (1999): She was barely in the Rumble for 30 seconds before she was eliminated by the eventual match runner-up, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, but it was still cool to see Chyna make history by being the first woman to enter a Rumble match. Because the Royal Rumble is so near-and-dear to me, I’m going to waive my “there never is a three” line for this one. I’ll be counting them down from 30 all the way to 1, which will be my all-time favorite. They’re just things that have stuck with me and resonated for one reason or another. The key word to remember here is “favorite.” These may or may not be the 30 BEST moments. It can be a match, a match result, a debut, a return, and so on… as long as it took place during a Royal Rumble event, it is fair game. The entire show, not just the titular (heh… tit) match itself. I’m going to take a look at my 30 favorite things that have taken place during a Royal Rumble show. As I sat in my recliner and watched the 2020 Rumble match the other day, I found myself creating mini “lists” in my head, thinking about some of my favorite matches and happenings that have taken place on Royal Rumble cards through the years. The idea of running my “Curse Of The #14 Entrant” column back had crossed my mind, but the amount that changes from year-to-year usually isn’t enough for a yearly update. I didn’t want to do an outright predictions column. I’ve been thinking about what type of Rumble-themed column to write this year. Sure, there are certain ones that I find myself watching every year, but for the most part, I just find myself watching whatever comes to mind now. Also, some of those matches are pretty bad, and having to watch them every year became tedious. First of all, with each passing year, there was another Rumble to watch… and then, with the addition of the women’s matches, there were two new ones every year. When I started the tradition, I would watch every single one of the Rumble matches, and I’d do it in chronological order. I go back and watch previous Rumble matches.

Like a lot of people, I have a yearly tradition in the weeks leading up to the Royal Rumble event. It feels like just yesterday that our calendars changed from 2021 to 2022, but now, here we are, on the verge of the Royal Rumble.
