10 Seriously Strange WWE Royal Rumble PPV Matches

[@DoubleCee-kq6qd]

That casket match between Undertaker and Heidenreich was hilarious with Heidenreich being terrified of caskets 😆

[@captainsmartass3368]

It was so funny when Heidenreich look into the casket after the Kane spot

[@danzig73079]

I remember a shoot interview with Luna, she said that someone (she gave the name, but I don’t remember it) told her that if Sable got hurt in that strap match, she’s fired (she said that with who said it, she knew it was coming from Vince. When the match was over and Luna got backstage, everything was quiet and nobody talked to her. When Sable got backstage, everyone erupted with clapping and congratulating her. Luna then said she went into a corner and cried. When she was crying, Owen Hart came over to her, told her she had a good match, and sat with her when she cried.

[@SsnakeBite]

Damn. I know Luna had a reputation for being pretty hard to work with at times, but that sounds absurdly harsh. Good on Owen to be the one decent person around her.

[@dizzyrisse3115]

I believe It was either Patterson or Briscoe

[@danzig73079]

@@SsnakeBite They probably needed Luna to get Sable through that match, and look good in the ring too.

[@a2ilool]

Luna deserved so much better

[@destructionfun2]

Stories like this are why I'm glad Vince McMahon will never be head of WWE again. Absolutely despicable behavior from him, and the fact he gaslit the rest of the roster into thinking that way is even more disgusting.

[@nicklandkroon8182]

The biggest shame of that Wyatt Knight match, is that was Bray's last televised match. Hindsight really hits with that one.

[@daltonpinell6251]

Certainly makes it a much sadder watch, can't imagine what was going through Knight's head when he learned he was now Bray's final opponent

[@CactusJackter]

As an actual child at the time, I thought Taker/Yoko was amazing.

[@MattGOG666]

Kevin owens is the royal rumble ppv mvp despite never winning one and barley participating in the rumble match itself.

[@daltonpinell6251]

I beg to differ on the casket match between Undertaker and Heidenreich, I found it enjoyable and a lot of fun to watch

[@andresgc770]

This is one of the reasons I loved the Rumble PPV back in the day. Because so many wrestlers were booked on the Rumble (unless they did double booking), there was bound to be one or two "Huh? That on PPV? Okay..." matches on the show lol

[@Melaniy-un3kr]

Engagement for the engagement god

[@MelonCauli]

Outstanding work. Love you guys

[@AdamNRG316]

Lmao I'd completely forgotten about that mini luchador match.

[@DatzJ]

I got to see Royal Rumble 2023 in person in San Antonio and yes, a lot of us were a bit thrown off by it, but in my opinion it was a great first match back, lot of amazement to see. I’m glad I got to see Bray in person before his passing. RIP 🙏🏻

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

I'll never understand why WWE decided to bury The Ascension after their monster NXT run.

[@matthewmullen2303]

I'd have to disagree with the Chyna-Ivory bout. I believe that last move by Chyna was to sell her neck injury and when I first saw it as a kid I felt the severity of the moment

[@thedispatcher01]

1989 Royal Rumbles also features an odd match between King Haku and the returning Harley Race seeking to reclaim his crown. Both wrestlers perform as heels as Bobby Heenan on the outside keeps switching his allegiance based on who appears to be winning in the match. The crowd is interested, but also downright confused as to how they're supposed to react to any of it.

[@EvaFull]

Can’t forget about “The Posedown” too 😂😂

[@thedispatcher01]

@@EvaFull Yes, the Super Pose Down. I mentioned it in another comment. Not really a match per se, but an official contest of sorts, cause there was rules and Warrior was declared the winner.

[@Jimraze]

Apparently Harley would only lose the crown to haku. So that’s what they did

[@zaphod100]

Luna being treated the way she was is more proof how little the Womens division meant back then.

[@rickyrosay33977]

Unless you were a hot model woman that looked good in a bikini

[@multiyapples]

I’m not a fan of her gimmick but she’d thrive in today’s wrestling environment.

[@MichaelWarbux]

The Undertaker ascending to the rafters scared the crap outta me as a kid for some reason lolll

[@RedDog-p8f]

There was an audience for Drew's Rumble win, and he got huge pops for it. It was his title win against Brock at Wrestlemania that was during lockdown. Edge won the Pandemic Rumble in front of an audience of iPads.

[@ThereforeIAmSam]

So I'm rewatching the attitude era and the minis were featured heavily on WWE at the end of 97 and 98. It's not surprising that this match happened with context. They were using Sunny as guest announcer for the minis at the time so it made sense for her to be involved. And the story was that Jerry Lawler hated Max Mini because Max sat on The King's lap during a match. So it made sense but if you are looking back at a list of matches it doesn't make sense

[@mileskillian04]

3:55 something lowkey magical about this image of Jerry the king and cartman

[@melissajenkner788]

love this so may strange matches cant wait for you to do the wrestling in 2024 video

[@thedispatcher01]

1989 Royal Rumble features the Super Pose Down between Rick Rude and Ultimate Warrior. I'm not sure it's a "match", but it's a contest of some sort cause Mean Gene explains the rules and how a winner is chosen.

[@KarmaKazi666]

Goddamn!!!! That was a LOUD AND SHRILL ass opening second. Woah bruv!

[@EvaFull]

🤔 How can you forget “The Posedown” between The Ultimate Warrior & Ravishing Rick Rude from Royal Rumble 1989?

[@Montaq_]

I feel like i need to apologize, as Bray and LA are two of my favorite wrestlers and I love Mountain Dew: Pitch Black and am a fan of that goofy black light glowy aesthetic, I feel like they specifically made that match for me. If it's any consolation I had fun with it.

[@hygrave2892]

I wonder if the Bushwhackers would have excelled in the era after they were in, the attitude era. Imagine them coming out as the Bushwhackers, only to snap, like the Abyss/Joseph Parks storyline in Impact TNA Wrestling. They would then turn into the Sheepherders, and then we all know what kind of damage they will do afterwards. They were comedy to make a paycheck, and that is fine of course. But the fact they were a brawling, lethal tag team before shows how they could have been better utilized in a different time. A prime Sheepherders vs A.P.A. match would have been money in the right circumstances.

[@mjdf122]

From the 1980s-Now there have been many strange Royal Rumble matches

[@TheBlockerNator]

Can you do an every rumble match ranked like your every mania match ranked? (Every match on the cards, not just the rumbles)

[@MichaelMclendon-y5q]

😣 THE UNDERTAKER VS THE Casket Match Between ⚰️ Heidenreich 2005 Royal Rumble was being hilarious with terrified of caskets ⚰️

[@HyperActive7]

To be fair to Yokozuna/Undertaker, there was no way Yoko was going to fit in the casket much less get dragged into it because he was so big you'd have to get a piano case to fit him comfortably inside it.

[@dennett316]

They had an extra wide, extra deep casket for Yoko to fit...they did a whole angle with Undertaker making it especially for him.

[@HyperActive7]

@@dennett316 So how's Taker going to drag him into it?

[@Dro946]

Them 3 look like Power Rangers in the thumbnail

[@JohnnyFWA]

Worms aren’t insects

[@judasfire2]

Anything with Brodus Clay , Hornswoggle, Sin Cara , El Torito , Great Khali , Santino Marella , Vladimir Kozlov , Eva Marie is weird.

[@AllInTheGame01]

So are we getting 2 night Royal Rumble PLEs in the future with 3 matches per night with each night closed out by each M&W's Rumble?!

[@SophieCrane-o7v]

Slack must be cut from the Number 1 entrant as it was (ultimately) Bray Wyatt's final WWE Match.

[@MartinRubio-s8f]

RIP bray wyatt u are missed

[@Kingofb0ngstyle]

El Torito? The mascot for Shining Stars?

[@unholyperiodza5442]

No Roman Reigns vs King Corbin in that Dog Food Match? That was the moment WWE decided to turn Roman into a heel as they stare at his poor body chained and covered in dog food. Also Corbin never had a shot at the Tribal Chief because he was a bad boy.

[@pre10tiouspodcast55]

That wasnt at the Rumble. Rumble was a Falls Count Anywhere match that Roman won.

[@TheMizisLit]

Is mountain dew an energy drink in the UK?

[@Y3ntiLS0uP]

When it launched it branded itself as an energy drink, because it has enough caffeine in it to have to legally "declare" it on the bottle (>18mg per 100ml) actual energy drinks are between 30-50mg per 100ml It isn't an energy drink, Coca-Cola has the same amount of caffeine, just.

[@multiyapples]

I love the royal rumble match.

[@skorpiontamer]

New age outlaws vs the ascension

[@bubbajoshproductions3990]

They're not called Battle Royals. It's the Royal Rumble Match. Different stipulation

[@VileSyndicxte]

I can't stand the fact that I remember *ALL* of this. 😒

[@MikeyFelixx]

Not that El Torito either.
