(SPOILERS AHEAD)
The 1991 Royal Rumble was a decent card. As always the main event stole the show (as a main event should do). The undercard was good as well.
The high-flying Rockers fought the lightning quick Orient Express in a brilliant tag team match. Old enemies The Barbarian and Big Boss Man had one of their most brutal matches in which both men must have broken at least one bone. Dusty and Dustin Rhodes fought The Million Dollar Man and Virgil in a decent match.
The Ultimate Warrior defended his WWF Title against Sgt. Slaughter, a character who was supposed to be an Iraqi supporter. Most fans hated seeing Slaughter win considering the Gulf War was going on at the time.
The Rumble was fantastic. The fearsome Undertaker who had made his debut two months earlier came in and started eliminating stars until he was eliminated by The Legion of Doom. The underrated Rick Martel lasted a long time in the match and took a few blows. And who can forget Hulk Hogan? Hogan won the Rumble after last eliminating his arch-enemy Earthquake. Hogan was as patriotic as they come and considering the Gulf War was going on at the time the fans genuinely loved seeing Hogan win.
Quite good indeed!
