the '97 Rumble was one of the greatest, we need another huge venue to fill with this classic PPV, haven't had that since '97. the royal rumble is my favorite PPV other than of course wrestlemania and it needs to be held in a big stadium venue again. i remember those times back in the day, i was excited as hell for that years Rumble and i recorded it (like any PPV in the mid to late 90s) on VHS off of german TV and i watched it dozens of times after it first aired.
What kind of commentary is that by Vince McMahon when Taker comes out: "And the winner of the 1997 Royal Rumble is on his way!" That has to be the most biased commentary I have ever heard from a face commentator in all my life.
@Tonetare He used to say that all the time for the guys who came in at number 30. It was usually a big guy like Crush, Adam Bomb or Vader. In this case, it was Taker.
@ochoastl19 Ohhhh! Really? That actually makes a lot of sense of things. Big guy, last comer, McMahon is going to root for them. These days with wrestling fans being so savvy, however, commentator's couldn't get away with that otherwise people would naturally assume that last big competitor wasn't going to win. I suppose they could throw a twist at you and actually have that competitor win though.
Kingofriddles2 see its DUMB ASSES like u that I dont get u leave comments on WWE videos sayin how dumb and gay wrestling is tyen ehy the fucc are you even searching the video?!? U just wanna talk shit to get attention wich it has worked.but all you've done is made yourself look stupid on the internetinternet
@ultragamer14 austin won in controversy, hbk gave up the title. fatal four way. bret won. lost to sid soon after. taker was eliminated last in fatal four way, therefor he was the rightful number 1 contender ^^ ta daaaaaa wrestlemania main event
Undertaker is a monster and I like that. There is only one man left to fall at Wrestlemania by the hands of The Undertaker, if that fucker Cena is facing The Rock and HHH lost 2 times just like HBK then Y2J is the perfect guy to die, Undertaker rullllzzzzzzzz 20-0
you know something... at that time, Stone Cold was starting to become overrated. I like it how he tuned his character himself not to become overrated... he is a true champion now. Undertaker, SCSA, Kane and Rock don't need titles to prove their champions.
The Phenom enters the 1997 Royal Rumble match as the #30 entrant.,but he didn't win.But a decade later,he did and he did it with the same number!!!!!!!!!!!
@KrackHead1231 Kevin Nash and Scott Hall left for WCW. Vince wanted to keep the Diesel and Razor Ramon characters going, so he brought in Glen Jacobs (fake Diesel) and Rick Bognar (fake Razor Ramon). Was a really silly idea lol.
@WYarranton I knew about nash and hall leaving for wcw in 96.wcw stole all of the wwfs talent.I just was'nt aware of this fake diesel and razor ramon angle. It must of been hilarious to see that back in the day.I watched wrestling when i was young in the early 90s and started watching it again hardcore in 98.so i missed the stuff that went on in like 96 and 97.Its a shame because alot of great stuff happened in those years.
Wowwww, in that ring is Diesel, Makind, British Bulldog, Stone Cold, Rocky Maivia (The Rock), Flash Funk, Vader and Henry Godwinn. Jesus that's a lot of drawing power in one ring, then you throw in Taker? God I miss these days...
Wowwww, in that ring is Diesel, Makind, British Bulldog, Stone Cold, Rocky Maivia (The Rock), Flash Funk, Vader and Henry Godwinn. Jesus that's a lot of drawing power in one ring, then you throw in Taker? God I miss these days...
@KingMonkeynuts the final four were taker, stone cold, bret, and vader....stone cold had got eliminated but the refs didn't see it b/c some other guys were fighting outside the ring so he snuck back in and eliminated taker and vader from behind and then threw out bret.....even though taker lost the rumble he still went on to wrestlemania to fight sid for the belt
Who would of thought this Royal Rumble would have 3 hall of famers(Terry Funk,Steve Austin,and Bret Hart) and 5 Future or potential hall of famers(Undertaker,The Rock,Vader,Mick Foley,and Kane). Heck even 2 cold Scorpio is in this
@Jhdude42 first fuck you for calling me idiot and second its writing mistake oh big deal and third i already know that he is not ''inducted'' yet but i did not know month ago you whore to late replaying my comment dick head
Man, I haven't watched wrestling in years. This is when it was good. I stopped watching around 2002. Just the simple fact that Taker debuted in 1990, has dominated every era he's been apart of, and is STILL wrestling to this day. He's the truly the MAN! I heard he retired ol' HBK. He's another great one. So who's left, from the old days?
@xHardcore96x Yep, he retired HBK. Besides Taker. HHH, Chris Jericho, Big Show, Edge, Matt Hardy, Goldust, Christian, Chavo Guerrero, Mark Henry, William Regal, Kane, Rey Mysterio & Finlay are all the veterans left. Half of them are more than likey close to retirement though.
@TrishLitaStacyTorrie Oh okay. So, Undertaker is really the one 'true' legend left. He's the last one standing from his era. Wow, that's something. That man has stood the test of time. I remember the last time I saw him, he was WWE champion (2002), and he was in his biker gimmick. Now he's back to his deadman gimmick, which is awesome.
That was Austins best chockslam sell.
