Despite an awful lot of patience from a tolerant Houston crowd at the first ever Royal Rumble pay-per-view, charisma vacuums Judy Martin and then Women's Champion Rockin' Robin failed to impress in the last Women's Title match to take place on a WWE supershow for over five years.

Showing reasonable pedigree as one half of the 'Glamour Girls', Judy Martin was extremely limited as a solo star, with her arsenal of punches and kicks making for a rather uninspiring display.

Considering her presence as humble babyface star, Rockin' Robin was unfortunately useless at virtually everything she attempted, including an unconvincing fake-out bodypress that eventually won her the match.

Sadly for Robin and Martin, the standout in the match was Sensational Sherri, who cut a scathing promo on both women before the contest, then carried on the verbal assault on commentary, ripping into the two as they meekly scrapped, threatening to comfortably dethrone whichever competitor came away with the title.

Though she was the clear star of a useless division, Sherri would never reclaim the title, instead pairing up with Macho Man Randy Savage whilst Rockin' Robin would depart the company altogether, mothballing the title until Alundra Blayze's arrival in 1993.
