10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 1997 Facts
8. A Future ECW Title Holder Worked In A Dark Match
The 1997 Royal Rumble featured a bevy of AAA luchadors not just in the Rumble match itself, but in a pay-per-view six-man tag, as well as some pre-show bouts. One of those untelevised matches was a six-man tag that featured a rather gifted 23-year-old.
The 23-year-old in question was a masked wrestler who went under the name Histeria. He would also take part in matches on Shotgun Saturday Night, as well as Raw is War that year, as part of the new Light Heavyweight division.
Those later matches came once he unmasked, working under the name Super Loco. You probably know him better as "The Insane Luchador" Super Crazy, eventual ECW Television champion, as well as future WWE contracted wrestler as a member of The Mexicools.
