What's your favourite Royal Rumble moment? Ric Flair's Woo-tastic WWF Title win in 1992? The sights and sounds of that historic first ever all-women's match in 2018? How about AJ Styles' surprise debut in 2016 or Steve Austin's memorable 2001 win?

Now you've answered that, here's another question: what's the weirdest Rumble moment you can remember?

To date (not including the upcoming 2019 version), WWE has presented 31 complete Rumble events. From that first TV special in 1988 all the way up to the aforementioned history-making exploits of 2018, there's been a lot of strange sh*t. Honestly, one would be forgiven for thinking January's supershow was just a big ol' laugh to the people writing it.

Bizarre celeb cameos, grown men being carried around like small children, some muscle-bound Chippendale show stuff nobody asked for, veterans ludicrously forgetting what match type they're in, supernatural trickery, freak injuries and prosthetic boobies. Yep, the Rumble is weird, and it always has been.

Join us on this trip down memory lane. You'll need Wikipedia for some entries, tissues to dry your eyes for others and a sick bag...
