20 WWE Royal Rumble Undercard Nightmares
5. Hector Garza, Perro Aguayo & Canek Vs Jerry Estrada, Heavy Metal & Fuerza Guerrera (1997)
Though the landscape of the industry had irreversibly changed between WWE's first visit to the Alamo Dome in 1997 and their return 20 years later, it wasn't out of the question to think the company may have padded the Rumble match out with local legends, or provided the live crowd with a surprise appearance or two.
The original attempt at it may well have been what but them off.
Evidently trying their very best but failing hard, the mix of AAA youngsters and Mexican legends only highlighted Vince McMahon's complete misunderstanding of what makes Lucha Libre so entertaining, as the six would bumble through a series of interminable blown spots and some thoroughly useless chain wrestling to the sound of silence from sixty-thousand fans.
Despite the very occasional high spot, nothing whatsoever got over to any degree, and a pathetic diving double-foot stomp from the fifty-year old Perro Aguayo for the finish summed up just how lousy the whole experiment had been.
