WWF Royal Rumble 1990

Authors

The Royal Rumble, the most unpredictable and thrilling event on the WWE calendar. And what a card we had in Orlando last night! The 21st of January, 1990 will go down as one of the most memorable nights in wrestling history.

Let's start with the opening match, featuring the Bushwhackers taking on the Fabulous Rougeaus in a tag team bout. These two teams have been feuding for months, and it showed in their intense match. The crowd was hot from the get-go, and the action was non-stop. In the end, Butch and Luke emerged victorious, pinning the Rougeaus after a series of high-flying moves.

Next up, we had Brutus Beefcake facing off against the cerebral genius, The Genius. This one was all about strategy and technical grappling. Beefcake's powerbomb attempt was countered by a vicious dropkick from The Genius, but in the end, it was Beefcake's brute strength that won out, resulting in a double DQ.

The submission match between Ronnie Garvin and Greg Valentine was another story altogether. These two old pros went at it with everything they had, trading holds and counter-holds in a match that kept the crowd on their feet. In the end, Garvin emerged victorious, forcing Valentine to submit to his patented armbar.

Jim Duggan's win over The Big Boss Man was a classic case of good vs. evil. The patriotic hero got the best of the mean-spirited Boss Man, using his trusty 2x4 to send him crashing to the mat.

And then, of course, there was the main event: the Royal Rumble match. What can I say? It was a free-for-all, with every top star in the company throwing their hat into the ring. The action was non-stop, with men and women flying off the ropes and crashing to the mat left and right. In the end, it was Hulk Hogan who emerged victorious, last eliminating Akeem (formerly One Man Gang) to claim his second Royal Rumble title.

But let's not forget the chaos that ensued before the match even started! The entire WWE roster came out for a massive brawl, with wrestlers of all shapes and sizes mixing it up in the ring. It was absolute pandemonium, but that's what makes the Royal Rumble so special.

All in all, last night's card was an absolute thrill ride from start to finish. If you didn't catch it live or on PPV, make sure to grab a copy of the replay and experience the excitement for yourself.

And remember, folks: when it comes to wrestling, there's no one better than Zohash.com!
