The Miss Royal Rumble competition at the 2000 event should have been something all male fans remembered for years to come. With Terri Runnels, The Kat, relative newcomer B.B., Luna Vachon and the always underrated Ivory and Jacqueline battling it out in a much-hyped bikini contest, all signs pointed to a crowd-pleasing break from the madness and chaos that made up the rest of that year's card. Terri broke out the gold one-piece number that she originally sported during the SummerSlam pre-show in 1996 and the cameraman made sure to catch every inch of the Horny Little She-Devil as she did her trademark pose on the ropes. Ivory stunned in a teal number that showed off her toned body, even if the future member of the Right to Censor was reluctant to reveal her outfit. B,B. sported a nondescript purple bikini while Luna refused to disrobe. Finally The Kat continued to prove her creativity by revealing a bikini made entirely of bubble wrap! If the entire ordeal had ended there, it would have been considered a successful and fun little addition to a stacked show. But it did not. Instead, Mae Young's music played and the legendary female competitor made her way to the ring. Declaring herself eligible for competition, she not only revealed a swimsuit, she went a step further by exposing her bare breasts! Not only that, but the judges actually declared her the winner. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4oyau_miss-royal-rumble-2000_shortfilms It would be revealed in weeks that followed that Young wore prosthetic breasts for the segment. Somehow, that does not erase the imagery of the Hall of Famer marching around the ring, trying to showoff her body while on-screen main squeeze Mark Henry attempted to cover her up.
