Ranking EVERY WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View From Worst To Best
24. 1989
The Good: The Mega Powers came within a whisker of exploding shortly before their Main Event collapse just weeks later after Hulk Hogan sh*thoused Randy Savage out of the match. The tension was luxuriously palpable and clearly going to make the company millions.
The Bad: Boredom abounds in much of the battle royal itself as WWE continue to work out the kinks in the gimmick. Big John Studd winning makes sense because of his size, but the man himself inspired little interest otherwise. A tag team opener should have lit up the undercard but instead felt much, much longer than the 15 minutes it was afforded.
The Ugly: Harley Race and Haku fighting over WWE's fake crown was insipid, but still not the worst thing on the show. A Women's Title clash between Rockin' Robin and Judy Martin was carried by Sensational Sherri on commentary and more's the pity - the match needed her far more than the booth.
