Jan. 28, 2007: WrestleMania Preview

Posted on January 28, 2012 by Graham Cawthon

Don’t think I’ve seen this show since it aired but, as I remember, the last few minutes of the Rumble between HBK and Taker are off the charts. Love the continuity the next year as those guys end up opening … Continue reading →

Jan. 25, 2008: Cena Rumble Supremacy

Posted on January 25, 2012 by Graham Cawthon

The Rumble? It’s probably going to be good. The Rumble at MSG? It’s probably going to be great. Here we are in 2008. Ric Flair is on his retirement tour, with every match potentially being his last. Randy Orton is … Continue reading →

Jan. 24, 1988: Rumble vs. Stampede

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Graham Cawthon

It was 24 years ago tonight that the WWF and NWA continued their big event rivalry by hosting a USA special vs. a live pay-per-view. For the WWF, it was the TV debut of the Royal Rumble. An event that … Continue reading →

Jan. 23, 1996: Vegas Clash

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Graham Cawthon

WCW sure tried hard in 1996, didn’t they? Of course there was the nWo, but even before that. Case in point, look at this Clash from January. You’ve got the return of the Road Warriors, Woman, and Elizabeth, plus the … Continue reading →

Jan. 22, 1995: Royal Disappointment

Posted on January 22, 2012 by Graham Cawthon

17 years ago today… Certainly not one of my favorite Rumbles and Shawn Michaels lasting through the whole match is hardly impressive when you take into consideration #1 the talent involved and #2 the shortness of this Rumble bout. Even … Continue reading →

Jan. 21, 1992: The Body Arrives in WCW

Posted on January 21, 2012 by Graham Cawthon

20 years ago today – #1: Ric Flair is the new WWF World Champion, coming off the Royal Rumble just two days earlier. Kinda strange to see the longtime face of NWA/WCW now at the helm of the WWF. #2: … Continue reading →

Jan. 20, 2002: Hotlanta Rumble

Posted on January 20, 2012 by Graham Cawthon

10 years ago today saw Triple H’s victorious return to pay-per-view by winning the Royal Rumble in Atlanta. I happened to re-watch this match just a few days ago and it does hold up pretty well. You’ve got the early … Continue reading →

Jan. 19, 1992: The 60-Minute Man

Posted on January 19, 2012 by Graham Cawthon

Arguably the greatest Royal Rumble match of all time took place on this date 20 years ago, headlined by the 30-man Rumble to determine the new WWF World Champion. And of course Ric Flair walked away with the belt in … Continue reading →

Jan. 18, 1967: Bruno in Baltimore

Posted on January 18, 2012 by Graham Cawthon

Going WAY back today with a look at what the WWWF was doing in 1967. Here we’re at the Baltimore Civic Center — now known as the 1st Mariner Arena (host of last month’s TLC). Baltimore in the 60s Baltimore … Continue reading →

Jan. 17, 1985: Pick a Card

Posted on January 17, 2012 by Graham Cawthon

Got 3 shows here from the WWF and another from a Crockett invasion of the northeast, though I doubt Crockett was the promoter of this particular show. Tommy Rich is onboard so it looks more like a Pro Wrestling USA … Continue reading →
