20 Awesome WWE Royal Rumble Moments

20. Demolition Implodes (1989)

One of the most overused lines announcers love to repeat is that the Rumble is €œevery man for himself.€ In the second Royal Rumble, the reigning WWF Tag Team Champions became the living embodiments of that phrase.Drawing Nos. 1 and 2, Ax and Smash wasted no time in attacking each other, pounding away for the entire two-minute interval. Demolition ceased hostilities once No. 3, Andre the Giant, entered the ring, teaming up to try to stop their future rival. That simple showing taught fans right away that friendships could end (or at least temporarily halt) during the Rumble.
