  • thanks i have not watched wrestling for a long time and i miss it great match

  • HBK

  • I Love That Man!

  • hells to the yeah plus do u mean wwf

  • the 2nd of 3 wrestlers to ever go back back to back Royal Rumble wins. Hogan did this first winning 90 and 91. Shawn won 95 and 96 while Austin won 97 and 98. No other wrestlers have come close to winning back to back Rumbles. All the while, it was much more difficult for Shawn to win 96 coming back from a lower back injury. His was the most impressive and the most emotional win.

  • I love that hbk won two years in a row but all these wrestlers are always given a new shot

  • Hbk

  • I have seen every rumble from 1988 on. This is by far the worst.

  • @MrMolmem I must disagree. The worst Rumble period was 1988 when Hacksaw Jim Duggan won the rumble. He staggers up, pulls the ropes down so the other guy can go over-and-out. At least Shawn won this Rumble along with the previous rumble by actually doing something.

  • @MrMolmem I respectfully disagree, the worst was 95, the reason being is that because the time in between entrants was shortened to 1 minute, a lot of guys were eliminated way too fast and there was hardly any time to build anything up, if a guy came in with momentum he hardly had any time to establish it. Plus the famous finish from that years rumble was an accident, shawn michaels feet weren't supposed to touch at all, they barely saved themselves a hell of a problem.

  • HBK THE BEST !

  • <3 Davey Boy

  • The Better ...

  • Why da fuck Michael's pulled his pants down? Lol

  • @Neigah88 lol

  • hbk returns please!!!!!!!!

  • Why couldn't Big Daddy Cool Diesel win?He never won one royal rumble yet.

  • @WAWRichtofen cuz he was leaving the wwf

  • @apark02 true but he needs to win Royal Rumble 2012 for sure

  • WOW talk about great memories, this was when shawn michaels became very huge in wwe. One of the very best ever and always will be a legend.

  • michaels was a showstopper by gimmick..n he did jst dat...he is one of d most amzing athletes n performrs wwe/f has or will evr have...whether a heel or a face..michaels alwys justified himself n did dat in styl

  • @bhavikdwarior

    Grammar would be a very helpful tool for you.

  • @xboxfever i know a bit of grammar friend,but i thought it wasn't much necessary to use it here as long as people focus on the meaning(not that what we say here makes a lot of difference).Thanks for your concern anyways.

  • @Videodrome97 their is nothing similar between cena and HBK michaels is one of the best in ring performers hands down

  • @stlcards1327 are u insane u are comparing cena to HBK ??!!!

    come on BUDDY

    cena is just an over rated superstar he didnt even do 1/4 of what HBK did...

  • @TheAwesomeOlivier : John Cena has won more world titles than HBK and more titles altogether. He's carried a company for nearly an entire decade where as HBK only carried it between Wrestlemania 12 and 13. John Cena also has sold more merchandise than HBK, has a better win/loss record at Wrestlemania than HBK (including a win over HBK at WM23) and probably has made more money.

    With all that said I think Cena has accomplished more than1/4 HBK has. Gotta call it fair man.

  • @D2Kprime But forget that HBK was actually loved by the fans. Cena will go down as one of the most loved babyface but also THE most hated babyface in history.

  • @jungle10ful : That's not what we are talking about. The subject matter is about 'accomplishments' not about who is most popular. Staying on topict, Cena owns HBK in terms of accomplishments and by the time Cena's career is done he may have been the most hated babyface, but he will accomplished more than anyone in pro-wrestling history.

    Being the most popular is more about the fans than the wrestler. You don't make yourself, the fans make you.

  • @D2Kprime Cena's accomplished are there because Vince is pushing him down our throats.

  • @jungle10ful : As he did with every other franchise WWE superstar. Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, HBK, HHH, Taker, Orton and The Rock all fit that bill. With people like Austin, Warrior, Edge, Y2J and perhaps CM Punk it was more based on fan perception and how their popularity could not be denied. Cena started out that way, but then the WWE machine got behind him and "pushed him down our throats" as you said. Unnecessarily so I might add.

  • @D2Kprime LOL, clearly you dont know shit. Hogan was cheered since his NWA days, HHH was cheered since his dx days, Austin WASNT even cheered when he won his first royal rumble match. Punk was EXPECTED to be cheered he did his shoot promo on Cena( the top guy of the company) etc, etc, Even Rock was cheered when he was still a heel with the Nation. So please, what you said is irrelevent. Cena was booed since 2006.

  • @jungle10ful : What are you talking about? Apparently literacy and intelligence are irrelevant to you. Sorry to hear that. Hogan was a heel until he arrived in the AWA. Austin was getting cheers at the 1996 King Of The Ring which was before the 1997 Royal Rumble. I know for a fact because it was there. Punk wasn't expected to be cheered because he was a full-fledged heel when he cut his promo on Cena which was more about Vince than Cena.

  • cont: He started off by saying that he did not hate Cena and stated that he respected Cena more than anyone else in the company, and still maintains that. CM Punk also trashed The Rock whom people LOVE and still got cheers. So I don't know what point you are trying to make here. Has nothing to do with my comment. I guess if you have no intelligent response to my rebuttal the only recourse you have is to use profanity and throw red herrings at me to try to change the subject.

  • finish: You probably were not even born yet when Hogan got a shot at the NWA title in 1979. And I know you aren't because if you were you would show more intelligence and maturity than this. Getting back to the POINT, John Cena has accomplished more than HBK. It's a fact. You don't have to like it. Facts don't change just because don't agree. Cena won't be the most beloved, but by the time his career is done he will have accomplished more than anyone before him.

    THE END.

  • @D2Kprime HAHAthats true

    

  • @D2Kprime So your telling that Punk insulting HHH and than winning the title IN HIS HOMETOWN in chicago wasnt expected to be cheered???? Please, anyone who wouldve done that promo wouldve been cheered.

  • @jungle10ful : Um....CM Punk's promo (while still a member of Nexus) against John Cena while sitting under the Titantron wasn't in Chicago. That was in Las Vegas. That's what I was talking about. Are you trying to throw red herrings at me to change the subject or are you really this clueless?

  • @D2Kprime I was talking about HIS MATCH your dumbass. The shoot promo only got mix reactions. And thats just because Cena has alot of haters.

  • @jungle10ful : And I WASN'T.....which makes your point look even more foolish. Just stop dude. Seriously.

  • @D2Kprime Only reason John Cena has won so much is because he has won the love of little kids. He has to be the most horrible wrestler ever !!

  • @Tyhronn81 : There are plenty of worse wrestlers than John Cena. The whole "Cena Can't Wrestle" shtick is old, lame, and factually false. Just because Cena has gotten lazy, doesn't mean he cannot wrestle. 'Stunning' Steve Austin was one of the greatest ring technicians ever, but once he got deep into his 'Stone Cold' gimmick he didn't have to put on technical masterpieces anymore to get over. He just had to punch, kick, drink beer, and cuss a lot.

  • Cont: Likewise, Cena early in his WWE career was a solid wrestler. However once he was mega-over he shifted into a limited move-set as well. Same with Hogan, The Rock, and probably Orton. The only WWE champions that remained technicians in the ring after they got over would be people like Savage, Bret, HBK, Angle, Benoit, Y2J, Edge and maybe HHH. The only WWE franchise guy who never could wrestle would probably be the Ultimate Warrior. You comment would fit him better than Cena.

  • Just like WM 12 with Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels won't acknowledge anyone else in the ring during his celebration. Notice after he high fives Kevin Nash, he doesn't even LOOk at him! Michaels was all about himself.

  • what wrestlemania was in that year

  • i miss shawn michaels

  • my brother still has rumble on VHS

  • michaels + diesel= quality tag team

  • Lol at Michaels dancing

  • 2:27- OMG

  • Quality Rumble, only bad poitn is that Diesel didn't win! Next 2 Rumbles after this were brilliant xD

  • Greatest Rumble ever!!!!!

  • I recorded the WWF Royal Rumble on VHS when it was live on pay per view, unfortunately I lost the VHS tape probably 7 or 8 years ago.

  • Comment removed

  • Damn, my money was on Kwang, lawls!

  • Two Dudes with Attitude, HBK and Big Daddy <3

  • look at the kid at 0:55

  • lol vince is a great heel and a great commentor

    i love how sometimes he screams and then he is calm and screams again and then calm

  • "What is Michaels doing?" Perfect asks the question on everybody's mind.

  • Why the fuck was he pulling down his tights???

  • @JokerKlownX

    BECAUSE HE CAN! :)

  • I'm sorry, I just can get over it, the true winner of this is either Bulldog or Diesel. Michaels was eliminated by that fat guy dude with the red mask... Bad Michaels, Bad

  • @KADG81

    Maybe you missed the part where Michaels eliminated said fat guy first, then said fat guy got back in the ring illegally to throw Shawn over the top. Hence, Shawn was not legitimately eliminated.

  • @fagbert

    No, I watched that, but an elimination is an elimination, he could be eliminated by a fan, if he get over the top rope and both feet touch the ground he is eliminated, no matter how

  • @KADG81

    No. You're an idiot. A fan eliminating someone would sure as hell not count. Neither would someone already eliminated who jumped back in, as shown. Vader threw a hissy fit because that was his character back then. Stone Cold jumped back in once and eliminated people because it was part of the story line for the next few months.

  • @Vath121

    Why do you have to be agressive, you bitter son of a bitch; ok, so how about Miz eliminating Cena in this year's rumble (miz wasn't even in the rumble match); what about the big show eliminating Undertaker in the 2009's rumble (Show was already eliminated)... so here it is, either you follow the rule or you don't but be fucking consistent; and since the rumble is no DQ you most likely won't; you fall from the ring and you're eliminated, period

  • @KADG81

    That's because WWE allows that crap now. This was back when wrestling was actually good. You couldn't be cheaped out of the rumble by some loser who wasn't even in the match or someone who was already eliminated. Despite how lame the rumble is now with allowing people to get cheaped out of the match, I think even in today's crappy standards a fan eliminating someone wouldn't count. It's called the rumble is scripted. Savage ****ed up in 92 I think and jumped out. They let him back in.

  • @KADG81 The rules have changed since this rumble, what you are saying is stupid. They shouldnt be eliminated by someone who is out, they are not supposed to get back in anyway

  • in my hometown, to bad i was only like 4 or 5 but i did go to the 2005 one when it came back

  • OH! The sweet chin music to the BICEP of Diesel, and out goes Diesel!! Oh my gosh, what a VICIOUS kick to the bicep by HBK.

  • defnitely one of my favorite rumbles. look at all the hall of famers that was in that rumble- austin, michaels, kane, hhh, yokozuna, owen hart, vader, diesel, bulldog, lawler, backlund. rewatching all these matches just reminds me even more that WWF>WWE. fuck wwe for real.

  • there is only 1 shawn michaels

  • what happened to jeff jarrett at this time? wasn't he supposed to be in the rumble?

  • @thaknoxx he had a match with ahmed johnson earlier in that night

  • HBK is the greatest of all-time. No doubt about it.

  • My favorite wrestler for ever!!!

    Shawn michaels!!!<3

  • 3:09 Borat: High Five!

  • what the hell was hbk going to do if diesel hadn't gotten back in the ring?

    he wasn't gonna pull his dick out was he? why would he do that? what would he do with it?

    as much as I love pro wrestling...

    I'll never understand it...

  • @MikeeeLie his gimmick was of a boy toy, he was showin off for the ladies, how hard is it to understand something like that... heart break kid... i wonder what your first clue could be.

  • @MikeeeLie he wasnt goin to do tht.as you can see, shawn pulled his pants back up even though he ddint know that diesel was there so he probs wouldnt of done that

  • "Its Diesel its Michaels its (kick)" one of my favorite lines ever (i still say that when playing wwe/f games in the royal rumble)

  • Sexy Boy HBK forever!!!

  • Best Royal Rumble ever. I really thought Vader was going to win because I didn't have the dirt sheets at the time (I got them in mid 96) and had no knowledge that the plan was to have Bret vs HBK at WM 12.

  • Shawn Michaels, and his pubes, are going to WrestleMania!!!

  • How does he do that!!?!?!? lol Hes HBK u idiots he can do anything

  • shawn michaels has left the building!

  • @HaYdOs234 Yea he is. I was so mad when they had Hogan beat Michaels at Summerslam some years ago......Gotta love HBK....

  • @thmostincredible25 ikr hogan sucked ass at dat time. but when he was with ultimate warrior he really was greatness.

  • Sweet Chin Music!!!

  • 0:50 "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE McMAHON! IMPOSSIBLE!!!"......um....exce­pt when Hogan did it in '90-'91......

  • @thmostincredible25 But HBK is miles better than Hogan and plus Hogan can kiss my ass

  • Wasn't shawn in the Ring Illigal? didn't he get thrown over the top rope by Vader earlier in the Rumble????

  • @wolvie667 yeah as much as im happy he won (well was) but vader eliminating him did not count as vader was already eliminated but booker T was eliminated then eliminated kane so what the hell vader could not booker T could what the hell

  • @MaxOmillion808 because the god himself, gorilla monsoon wasn't there to sort booker t out!

  • @wolvie667 vader was already elliminated, so it didn't count for shawn

  • @basdemanaz as much as i love shawn, he really should hav been eliminated since. cuz in 2005 i think kurt angle was eliminated and came back in and eliminated shawn. i know this was b4 2005. oh and in 2009 big show eliminated undertaker from outside the ring

  • @basdemanaz as much as i love shawn, he really should hav been eliminated since. cuz in 2005 i think kurt angle was eliminated and came back in and eliminated shawn. i know this was b4 2005. oh and in 2009 big show eliminated undertaker from outside the ring after he was eliminated.

  • @psykarp21 its just how you see it, many people can discuse about these points, but yeah what has happened has happened it wont change.

  • There wont b another legend lyk shawn michaels in wwe

  • shawn was smart to sweet chin music diesel cause he was tired and didnt wanted to fight the biggest toughest manin there i wish shawn didnt fight undertaker at WM i wish he could stay and win the WWE champ again

  • Shawn is the BEST!!! yaaaaaaaaay!!

  • Shawn Michaels=The Greatest Wrestler of All-Time

  • @TGUNZ562 Explain how exactly?

  • he looks soo good with his hair that long..

    & he's still sexy to this day.

  • the one the only...... HBK..lol

  • i hope hbk kicks takers teeth down his throat at wrestlemania :D

  • lol 2:24-2:27

  • HBK ROCKS!

  • hbk two years in a row!! hbk almost won the 2007 royal rumble match too but he was defeated by the undertaker and this year he almost won too but batista eliminated him =(

  • why vince doesnt want hbk to rin a rumble again he is mr wrestlemania or vince do you forget about everything hbk has done for you he is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time come on we want hbk to win a rumble for the 3rd time or at least we want him to be a champ again

  • What was the point of Shawn winning like that? It would be much more entertaining watching Shawn and Diesel brawl n then have a winner rather than Shawn kicking him out right away like that.

    I guess Shawn was trying to look out for his Kliq member and making him look not bad. I mean if Shawn overpowered Diesel in the ring to win, that would be worse than Diesel not expecting it and getting kicked out.

  • exactly right my friend

  • i love hbk

  • and shawn will win for the 3rd time TODAY

  • Shawn Michaels is the most experienced and without doubt the best royal rumble participant ever... just count the number of times he has avoided elimination during the match

  • That super kick to Diesel worked on him but so sad it didn't work on the undertaker 07 Royal Rumble

  • Michaels looked so young here, I know its 1996 but compared to now 2009 he looks so old with the receding hairline etc...

  • i was 10 yrs old when i went there. if you pause it at 5:04 im the little kid jumping up by shawn's left shoulder!!!

  • really

  • it was amazing to watch this and count the dead wrestlers...

  • init half the guys are dead thats sad owen bulldog jake etc i miss em all ooh yeah and mr perfect he was that Perfect

  • @MoonKeepa jake roberts is not dead... there are only 3 wrestlers (Owen, Bulldog and Yokozuna) in the match who have died and the rest are still alive...

  • perfect is dead to even though he is an anounser

  • who is jake? do you mean jake the snake roberts or somone else?

  • @iloveshaunreinert which wrestlers are you talking about? there are only 3 wrestlers (Owen, Bulldog and Yokozuna) in the match who are deceased

  • Hogan won two in a row his numbers were late entrys but they both were standard time rumbles

  • Yeah 1990 - #25 and

    1991 - #24.

    i believe were the years & entry numbers

  • The Dumpster...what a wasted number 30 spot.

    We love you Shawn!

    (At least I do anyway)

  • awesome ending, the place was on fire!

  • 3:09 THE BEST JUMP EVER!!

  • @putteVH YA IT WAS

  • Michaels sure was awesome back in his days.

  • He still is awesome, even though he's toned down his style a bit due to his back injury. He probably shouldn't even be wrestling anymore in his current state, but he does.

  • Shawn michaels one more time as Royal Rumble winner and WWE Champion.

  • stonecold won 2 in a row to except he cheated on 1997

  • I wish shawn could win another one

  • hope he wins 2010!

  • I bet the winner in 2010 is either jericho or edge, maybe christian.

  • in my opinion,If EVER jeff Hardy doesn't come back til the royal rumble(which is kinda impossible now that WWE is so predictable) he could win as a surprise entry
