(More customer reviews)1993 - It was at this Rumble where the stipulation of "winner gets the title shot at WrestleMania" was put into play that is still continued to this day. This was one of the weaker Rumbles in companies history as Yokozuna won with the stupid ending of Randy Savage pinning him (in a battle royal?) but Yoko kicked out so strongly that Savage went over the top. The undercard here completely outclassed the Rumble match as WWF Champion Bret Hart fought Razor Ramon in a good match, the long awaited Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty match delivered with a suprize coming from Sensational Sherri, Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Big Boss Man, Steiner Brothers vs. Beverly Brothers, and the debut of "The Narcississt" Lex Luger.
1994 - This Rumble made history as both Bret Hart & Lex Luger became co-winners of the Rumble and judging by the crowds reaction, you could see who the fans wanted to win. Speaking of Bret Hart, he wrestled in a tag team title match earlier teaming with Owen Hart against Qubeckers...which led to the heel turn of Owen Hart. This was also the Rumble where Yokozuna fought Undertaker in a casket match that featured a gang of wrestlers coming out to aid Yokozuna in victory. Other highlights include Razor Ramon having a good match against I.R.S. that featured an appearence from Shawn Michaels and Tatanka going one on one against Bam Bam Bigelow.
1995 - Shawn Michaels made history here & became the first person to enter #1 & win the Rumble with the infamous "only one foot hit the floor" moment. WWF Champion Diesel vs. Bret Hart saw Bret use a more aggressive style that anyone has seen from him leading to a great match that gets overshadowed by their Survivor Series match later in the year. Other matches include Jeff Jarrett winning the Intercontinental title against Razor Ramon, Bam Bam Bigelow teaming with Tatanka in the Tag Team Title tournament finals against 1-2-3 Kid & Bob Holly along with the confrontation with Lawerence Taylor afterwards, and Undertaker vs. I.R.S. This was the best PPV of 1995.
1996 - Shawn Michaels won the Rumble for a second time which featured Vader's debuted & dominating the match before his confrontation with Yokozuna, Jake "The Snake" Lawler returning, and Jerry Lawler hiding under the ring for most of the Rumble. WWF Champion Bret Hart having a near classic match with Undertaker that saw an appearence from Diesel. Goldust winning the Intercontinental Title from Razor Ramon with help from 1-2-3 Kid, Smokin' Gunn vs. Body Donnas, and Ahmed Johnson vs. Jeff Jarrett.
1997 - Shawn Michaels came home to Texas & won back the WWF Title from Sid. Austin would win the Rumble in a classic heel way putting over his character and also putting over Bret's current "you screwed me" character which other highlights such as Terry Funk's appearence, Stone Cold's dominace, and Jerry Lawler setting a Rumble record. Other things to look out for on the undercard are the Goldust/HHH match, Undertaker/Vader where Vader revealed a new manager, .Ahmed Johnson vs. Faarooq which would set off a string of events thoughout the Rumble match later that night.
