WWE To Release Royal Rumble Documentary DVD

A Royal Rumble documentary is planned for release in 2016, according to WrestlingDVDNetwork.com. The project - entitled 'The True Story of the Royal Rumble' - is billed as "a behind the scenes look at the event that sets the stage for WWE€™s biggest stage at WrestleMania", and is expected to have a similar format to 2011's 'The True Story of WrestleMania'. That means a combination of documentary-style footage and actual Royal Rumble bouts, although it remains to be seen which matches will actually be deemed worthy of inclusion. Rumbles from 1988 (the first ever Rumble), 1992 (commonly considered the greatest Rumble of all time), and 2008 (John Cena's shocking return) should be nailed on. The documentary also promises to look at "the winners and losers, and the creator" of the stipulation, which should guarantee a Pat Patterson appearance. It should prove to be a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of one of WWE's most complicated, highly-anticipated spectacles, and hopefully does the event justice. 'The True Story of the Royal Rumble' is expected to be ready for a 2016 release, and will available as both a 2 disc Blu-ray and 3 disc DVD. This announcement is sure to get even casual fans excited (who doesn't love the Rumble?), and - if done right - could lead to an even greater appreciation of the match's legacy.
