20 Greatest WWE Royal Rumble Undercard Matches

20. Bob Holly & 1-2-3- Kid Vs. Bam Bam Bigelow & Tatanka (1995)

As a makeshift duo, Bob Holly and The 1-2-3 Kid may have been one of the all-time greatest assembled, and yet were unfortunately only given two high profile matches to show just how dynamic a pairing they could be.

Thrown together as smaller guys from the undercard, common sense dictated that the two did not stand a chance against their established, oversized, and more-experienced opponents.

In-ring, Holly and Kid were extremely reliable hands with virtually anybody on the roster, and proved their mettle yet again in an outstanding bout with an able Tatanka and a highly motivated Bigelow.

Attempting a series of airborne manoeuvres to outwit their bigger foes, Holly and Kid survived early beatings enough to generate some momentum in the final moments, scoring a fantastic upset from nowhere after Bam Bam (who had suffered several headshots previously in the match) was inadvertently pushed from the ropes by his own partner and knocked out cold in a miscommunication.

The near-dead Kid crawled gamely to the giant's downed frame, and draped an arm to seal a win for the plucky babyfaces, triggering Bigelow's huge rivalry with Lawrence Taylor and ultimately his separation from the Million Dollar Corporation.
