Reinforcing the point that the WWE roster was in a constantly-changing state in 1992-93 was the event poster for the '93 Rumble. The primary faces in the photo are Bret Hart and Razor Ramon, spotlighting their World title encounter. Beneath their massive mugs are an assortment of WWE wrestlers, a handful of which weren't even involved with the Rumble.

Three of the wrestlers weren't even with the company any more: Davey Boy Smith and The Ultimate Warrior were fired in November for receiving growth hormone, while Nailz left the following month after an altercation with Vince McMahon.

In addition, Crush didn't wrestle on the show, selling injuries from Doink the Clown and a fake arm (ahhh, the good old days). Kamala also appeared on the poster, but wasn't on the show in any form.
