I remember as a UK viewer that my friends and I had no idea who Drew Carey was! So we just all assumed he must be Jim Carrey’s less funny brother 😂

@Phyrre56 Год назад

My favorite thing about this Rumble is that it has distinct phases. It's not just one long match. It starts with the Hardys and the Drew Carey nonsense, then it transitions into the Hardcore Battle Royal for a while, then the Honky Tonk Man nostalgia/joke bit, then Kane & Rock dominating for a while, then the ring fills up with bigger guys, then its Brothers of Destruction (and shows how strong they are together, getting rid of all the heavyweights) and finally the finish sequence once Austin gets in there. That's 6 or 7 different phases of the match that tell great stories.

@RatelHBadger Год назад

That's how it should be. Each new entrant should add to or bring a new dynamic to the story being told in the ring. If it's "just another guy" to get bumped about and thrown out, what's the point. There's so many angles the match could take, hardcore, teammates and betrayals, nostalgia moments, monsters going on rampages, plucky underdogs scrapping against the odds.

@steveharvey2102 Год назад

Hell yeah! I seconded that notion in a seperate post. Great time to be a fan! You had 2 of the greatest manias out of 3 years. The 3rd one being, Rock Vs. Hogan. I was lucky enough to see got to see one of the 3 manias live! Guess which one? Being from Montreal, I got the shit mania, in between the 2 All-Time greats. The Wrestlemania I like to call the "One match mania" ;) I remember, after Hogan Vs Rock, watching the Women's title match, I LOVED Trish! Who didn't? As that match ended we got up to leave! That's how obvious the Main Event was to all fans! There was also a huge blizzard starting and we had to drive 5 hours, back to Montreal!! Crazy! So who won the Main event??? ;)

@bigjohnsbreakfastlog5819 Год назад

The audience was apathetic to Drew's appearance in 2001 and were really mad at his induction in 2011. Drew Carey never came off as a wrestling fan to the diehards despite having Triple H appear in an episode of the Drew Carey Show (one of those shows that is completely lost to licensing hell but you have to explain to folks that it was big back in the day), and not taking a bump didn't help matters. Nowadays we got Bad Bunny and Logan Paul taking it the time to learn the intricacies so they don't get rejected, which is for the better.

@SapinskiMath Год назад

I never noticed this up until now, but looking at Trish back in the beginning, the way her face looks, her hairstyle, how she pouts her lips. The image has suddenly all come together and now I can't unsee it. She's Evil Topanga.

Kane is underrated as a hard-core legend when you look at his resume.

@dukeyxxyz Год назад

Kane was always my favorite wrestler as a kid and this rumble is my favorite mostly for his performance in it.

@robertanderson2898 Год назад

Even in his very 1st Rumble Match in '99 he eliminated I think, 4 or 5 guys, and in less than a minute, before eliminating himself. This was truly legendary though, and alot say he should have been the winner instead of Austin, but we'd never have gotten the 'Mania X-7 classic between Rock and Austin.

@bigjohnsbreakfastlog5819 Год назад

Also, this show was the final PPV appearance of Tiger Ali Singh. He made one final TV appearance on RAW the next night and that was the end of his run. It's quite interesting the guy lasted nearly 5 years despite sporadic appearances and general negative reaction.

@gabepollock1641 Год назад

I get the feeling the WWF thought he could be a new Canadian superstar, since Tiger Jeet Singh was a Canadian mainstay from the 1960s and 1970s. Problem was that Ali did not have his dad’s gimmick, charisma, or enough proficiency for picking up the business anywhere near the speed of his fellow multi-generational stars.

@princesstamika Год назад

It's interesting that the original Tiger Jeet Singh lasted as long as he did in 2 different countries despite never doing wrestling moves.

@CooroSnowFox Год назад

@Giantsfanlewis Год назад

I think I feel your opinion for the China issue, is that the WWE will do something due to a real moment, but then play off that emotion later on by trying to replicate it. It's kind of like how people realize that the "X" sign means something's wrong from the refs, so then the WWE use that to try to play off emotion. Its a tough spot.

13:10 Brian's right about Ivory and her quality selling! Lest we forget, she was the top Wrestler in G.L.O.W during the 80's. And, as we know, they were all about the technical wrestling, at the house David McClaine built ;) But, "If I could be Lance Storm for a minute." ;) Ivory, or (Tina) was by far the best wrestler, G.L.O.W. or any of the other women's feds of the 80's had! Also, Chyna sold well in this too. I remember watching this live at the local bar and remember feeling bad for Chyna, although on a separate note, she did bury the Women's title almost as much as Medussa's garbage can did, J.K. :) Cheers from Canada and Thanks to Brian for redoing this review! You are the best!
