Never let it be said that the Royal Rumble is good for nostalgia. Ric Flair vs. Bob Backlund to start the Royal Rumble matchup. Talk about legendary smaller technical wrestlers who were former world champions. Speaking of the world title, this was the first Royal Rumble where the winner would get a title shot at Wrestlemania. Flair, Backlund and DiBiasie...technical wrestling fan's dream. The ICO Pro banner 🏋️♂️🏋️♀️🏋️♂️🏋️♀️. Ah, the early 1990s. Back to the rasslin. This was the first Rumble match with non WWF wrestlers appearing. Hall of Famers Genichiro Tenryu of the then SWS (Super World Sports) Japanese Promotion and Carlos Colon of WWC (World Wrestling Council) of Puerto Rico were surprise entrants in the Rumble match. Speaking of a technical wrestling fan's dream: Ric Flair vs Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig ❤🧡💛💚 Man the 1990s had some horrible gimmicks. Max Moon 🤔 Damian Demento 🤐 Skinner 🐊 Ugh!!! The worse thing about Skinner was that he was a helluva wrestler as Steve Keirn as a part of the Fabulous Ones with Sweet Stan Lane. Horrible gimmick for Keirn. Bobby Heenan and chop suey. 🤣🤣🤣 That pop for the Undertaker!!! Giant Gonzalez ugh x10 Tugboat, Typhoon, Buffoon. 🤣🤣🤣 Man I miss listening to Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Wow, I didnt remember the Natural Disasters going one-on-one against each other in the Rumble. What was up with that!!! Yokozuna vs. Earthquake. To quote Gorilla Monsoon: The Irresistable Force meets Immovable Object!!!! And reaching back to the nostalgia factor: Rick Martel and Bob Backlund. Old school AWA vs. WWWF. And speaking of Backlund...Backlund would break the time record by one minute, eclipsing Ric Flair's record from the year before. This match was the ceremonial end of the old time WWF with the rise of Yokozuna and his elimination of Randy Savage. Though Hogan wasnt in this match and had one last hurrah at the Wrestlemania before jobbing at the King of the Ring, the old WWF would be done #WWF #WorldWrestingFederation #RoyalRumble93 #RoyalRumble1993 #RoyalRumble #Wrestling #ProWrestling #TheNineties #1990s #SiscosFavoriteComics https://www.instagram.com/p/B7z9XnRhA3x/?igshid=182kzjefzonfb
