7 Things You Should Know About WWE Royal Rumble 2005

7. The Royal Rumble Commercial Is Amazing

The commercial that WWE aired to advertise the Rumble match was fantastic. It was a takeoff of the play "West Side Story" with wrestlers dressed like the actors from that, which meant for some interesting looks by the wrestlers. It featured Raw guys together and Smackdown guys together. Here are the lyrics: "There's gonna be some trouble tonight. A very Royal Rumble that's right. We'll step into the ring, we'll reach an understanding, when the smoke is cleared I'll be the last man standing....tonight." There was more to it with them saying that there could only be one Royal Rumble winner. At the end of it, it looked like the guys were about to fight when suddenly it stopped and Vince McMahon woke up from a sleep saying that wasn't the kind of Royal Rumble he had in mind. It was all a dream, after all. Who did the best the job with their look? The Nature Boy, of course. http://youtu.be/Wom0eCbH4HM That commercial plus the ones that followed a few months later at WrestleMania 21 were also great. WWE was doing something right in that period in terms of coming up with creative ideas to advertise their shows.
