The Royal Rumble from 1990, is a classic event and only slightly disappointing in that 2 of the matches that took place before the Main Event failed to live up to my expectations. Hulk Hogan was being rivalled by the rise in popularity of The Ultimate Warrior in 1990 and their rivalry was highlighted during the Rumble event. I enjoyed the Main Event, it had a few twists and turns along the way. Other story angles were highlighted, such as Dusty Rhodes and the Macho King, Demolition and The Colossal Connection, Tito Santana and The Model Rick Martel. Personally, I was thrilled at who won the Rumble. It was good in seeing all those different wrestling personalities give their opinions on winning the Royal Rumble. The 2 matches I didn't like, are the tag team and singles match between Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake and The Genius. Beefcake was always a limited and stiff worker and his opponent was similar, although he at least was athletic. The ending completely ruined their match. The tag team match was far too long and it took about 5 minutes to really get going. The grudge match between Hacksaw Jim Duggan and the Big Boss Man was a real slug-it-out street brawl. The best match on the card by far, was the submission match where Rugged Ronnie Garvin took on Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. It is 17 minutes of wrestling joy and it built to a frenzied conclusion. I like it that bits of footage shows the different participants in the Royal Rumble, it adds to the occasion.

I really like Royal Rumble Matches, but I must tell you once again: so many superstars irritates me in these times with their stupid gimmicks...1. The Rougeau Brothers Vs. 2 Biggest idiots in pro-wrestling - Shame from the very start... And they won? Sry I can't give more. 2/10 2. Brutus "The Dement" Beefcake Vs. The Genius - Noooooooooooooooo Beefcake! This guy shouldn't wrestling. I laughed hard, when Hennig had took him with a chair:) 3/10 3. Greg "The Hammer" Valentine Vs. Ron Garvin 5/10 4. Jim Duggan Vs. Big Stiff Man - Really don't like both of them. But BSM is more awful 3.5/10 5. Royal Rumble - Hulk, Macho, Honky Tonk, Hart foundation, Dusty Rhodes, Tito Santana, Dino Bravo, Akheem, Ultimate Warrior, Demolition, Rockers, Ted Dibiase, Koko B. Ware, Jake Roberts,Piper, Powers of Pain, Bad News Brown, André the Giant, Red Cock, Haku, Superboring Snuka, Earthquake, RIck Martel, Mr. Perfect, Rick Rude, Hercules,.. BUt... ANother set for incredible Hulk :-/ again and again. Mr. Perfect should win ;) 6/10

*SPOILERS AHEAD*The undercard was just pointless. One feud that no one cared about was solved as a result of a boring match. Bossman vs. Duggan was ok and would have made a good feud in retrospect, but they both were better suited for the battle royal. Duggan wins a Rumble, then spends two of them in the undercard. There was no reason for the Bushwhackers-Rougeaus match. They had already fought in a PPV, with the same result. The Rockers were wasted in the battle royal, they should have fought the Rougeaus. It would have been a good match.I gave it a 7, because the battle royal itself was very entertaining, with plenty of high points: DiBiase breaking the Iron Man record... Demolition avenging themselves from the year before on Andre... Jimmy Snuka's surprising performance... Earthquake's showstopping elimination... The Ultimate Warrior collecting six eliminations, making up for the previous 2 Rumbles (mailing it in at the first one, boring posedown in '89)... And, of course, The Warrior and Hogan squaring off for the first time.Definitely worth a look. Just make sure the fast-forward button works during the first four matches.

This was the third annual Royal Rumble and like the two events before it, it had plenty of entertainment.The undercard matches were nothing memorable but the Rumble was exciting enough. Watching the Rumble was exciting because you had the big bad WWF superstars going at it with each other. This Rumble was just as exciting. Back in the 1980's and early 1990's the WWF had a lot of giants such as Andre the Giant and The Warlord. The WWF stars of that era had muscles like ancient warriors.(SPOILER AHEAD) Hulk Hogan won this Rumble after going through the competition like a knife through butter. When he won this event the fans were so pleased.Great event!
