Ranking EVERY WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View From Worst To Best
25. 1993
The Good: Bret Hart and Razor Ramon put on an understated clinic for the industry's top prize. 'The Hitman' wasn't ever going to be the draw former (and future) Champion Hulk Hogan was, but he was rapidly reframing what it meant to be WWE Champion. The pay-per-view debut of the Frankensteiner in the Steiner Brothers/Beverly Brothers opener was sensational.
The Bad: Outside of a hot early section spotlighting the Mr Perfect/Ric Flair rivalry, the Royal Rumble was awfully drab and utterly bereft of bonafide main event stars. Never had the reality of WWE's difficult future been as apparent than when the likes of Damien Demento and Carlos Colon made up the numbers just a year removed from what many consider to be the most loaded edition in the contest's history. Yokozuna was a realistic winner, but his performance in the match wasn't terribly exciting.
The Ugly: Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty had contenders for 1993 Match Of The Year over the Intercontinental Title, but this January debacle wasn't one. Amidst all sorts of backstage ugliness between the pair, the bad behaviour off screen helped craft a very bad match on. Jannetty was blamed and fired for it the very next day.
