Vladimir Kozlov Non-title Finlay vs. Posted by Garrett at AM No comments:. Subscribe to: Posts Atom. Contributors Garrett Pro-Wrestling-Universe. In watching the TV leading up to Royal Rumble , the Gunns said they wanted a shot after the tournament. Get in line, big fella. All the way in the back. The bout at the Rumble was actually pretty solid. Razor Ramon defending his Intercontinental title against Jeff Jarrett? This match was really enjoyable. The best thing on the card, actually.
His B-matches are good at the minimum. These two put on quite the show following whatever that man…thing was that came before it. Out of those three, only two were worth watching. He beat the crap out of each man during the entrance time, and his vicious attacks delayed their entry into the ring.
This match featured rapid-fire second waiting intervals, so Bret's attacks created those awkward moments where the next buzzer sounded even though the previous entrant still did not make it into the ring.
These numbers add up to about 6m 27s of entrance time out of the entire 38m 45s match. That means that for about Vince McMahon stated that there would be 1 minute waiting intervals between each entrant. How well did WWF stick to that claim? Here are the waiting times between all 28 buzzers, in chronological order:. This is probably as close to perfect as the timing can get for a Royal Rumble match. The median waiting period was 1m 00s, and the average was also 1m 00s. In a perfectly timed match, the final buzzer signaling Crush's entrance would have gone off 28m 00s after the start of the match.
In reality, this buzzer went off at 28m 14s. The one waiting period that lasted 1m 11s was a result of Bret Hart attacking Backlund again after Backlund's elimination. It's likely that WWF wanted to focus more on Bret's attack than worrying about getting the next entrant, Dick Murdoch, out to the ring.
I also wanted to take a look at how the ring filled up with superstars as the match progressed. If you add up each wrestler's survival time, it results in a total survival time of 3h 49m 52s.
Given that the match lasted a total of 38m 45s, that comes out to an average of 5. Here is a more accurate way to understand how many men were in the ring at any given time. This chart shows the total time that the ring was filled with an exact number of discrete superstars at once:. The chart above shows that the ring was filled with 6 or more men for The pay-per-view featured the annual Royal Rumble match , which has been featured at every Royal Rumble event since its inception.
It features 30 wrestlers, and the match ends when one wrestler remains in the ring, after all 29 other wrestlers have been eliminated via being tossed over the top ring rope and having both feet touch the floor. Prior to the event, it was announced the winner of the Royal Rumble would win the vacant WWF Title, which had been stripped from Hulk Hogan after two controversial title switches between Hulk and the Undertaker, first at the Survivor Series and later at the Tuesday in Texas pay-per-view event.
Hogan and Undertaker were among the 30 entrants in the event. The Royal Rumble match helped begin Justice's slow-building turn into a villain. Justice - who was returning from a recent injury - entered at No. Justice eliminated Savage and then Hogan, leaving himself and Flair in the ring.
