Every WWE Royal Rumble's Best Performer

The Million Dollar Man's 1990 performance is right up there with the very greatest Rumble performances that we've seen to date.

Whilst DiBiase might not have won, he was easily the star of this particular year's Rumble match. What made DiBiase's 45-minute outing so memorable was he started at #1 and spent the rest of the match hanging on by hook or by crook, putting in what is the definitive heel performance for such a bout.

It's partly testament to just how over Ted DiBiase was as a truly hated heel at the time, but it's also a massive testament to just how great he was in the ring, too. Because of being such a hated bad guy, it led to DiBiase being able to have memorable moments with so many other competitors in the match with whom he'd previously tangled.

The 1990 Royal Rumble may have been all about setting up Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VI, but it was Ted DiBiase who was the real star of the show on that night.
