The 1992 and 1993 lists made copious note of just how much the roster was transforming in that smaller frame of time. The jacked-up muscleheads were leaving, replaced by wrestlers with more reasonable body types. Veteran wrestlers were being phased out, while those representing the lukewarm "New Generation" were taking their places.

Through these wholesale changes, 16 wrestlers in the 1994 Rumble match were taking part in the 30-man challenge for the very first time, with most of them having made their WWE debuts throughout the course of 1993.

Among the group were established stars like Lex Luger, The Steiner Brothers, and Bam Bam Bigelow, as well as the likes of Diesel, Jeff Jarrett, and The Smoking Gunns, who would all play notable roles in WWE over the next couple years.
