It Was A Wise Move to Have Mr.McMahon Win the Royal Rumble 1999

I"m not going to make a big deal about it, but you broke rule #1. "1. First round is acceptance." Anyway, since it is the second round, I will post my arguments only. At the bottom of this post, I will post all necessary definitions, considering many terms I use are wrestling terms some people may not know. Argument Number One: The planned match for WrestleMania 15 was the Rock (champion) vs Steve Austin (which ended up happening). That match was the most logical match that could have taken place. At the time, the Rock was a heel champion, which meant that he had to face someone who was a baby face at WrestleMania 15. Mankind and Steve Austin were the only two baby faces that were over enough to wrestle for the WWF Title at WrestleMania 15. Of course, the Rock just completed a feud with Mankind, so Steve Austin was a better choice (Rock vs Austin would"ve been a fresh feud). Therefore, Rock vs Austin for the WWF Title was the best main event for WrestleMania 15. Argument Number Two: Steve Austin already won the Royal Rumble match in 1997 and 1998, which means that he won two Royal Rumbles. The only two people who won two Royal Rumbles at the time were Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan. Having Austin win a 3rd Rumble would theoretically mean that Austin was better than Michaels and Hogan. Since Austin only won his first WWF Title a little under a year prior to the 1999 Rumble, it was unclear whether or not Austin should"ve been made better than two legends. Plus, a 3rd consecutive Rumble win for Austin would"ve been too repetitive. It was clear that someone other than Austin should"ve won the Rumble. For these two reasons, Austin shouldn"t have won the 1999 Royal Rumble. Argument Number Three: Obviously, Steve Austin was going to get the title shot at WrestleMania 15. If Steve Austin wasn"t going to win the Rumble, then that would mean that whoever did win would have their title shot taken away from them in storyline. If this were to happen to a legitimate wrestler, that wrestler"s career could"ve been hurt. That could cause the wrestler to not be taken as seriously by the fans, or the wrestler could"ve lost momentum. Therefore, any other wrestler on the roster shouldn"t have won the Rumble in 1999. Argument Number Four: Obviously, the Rock couldn"t have won the Rumble (the WWF Champion is exempt from competing in the Rumble). I have showed that Steve Austin couldn"t have won the Rumble. I have also established that any other wrestler shouldn"t have won the Rumble. That means that an on-air personnel would"ve had to win. Therefore, Vince McMahon was the perfect choice. At the time, Vince was an on-air personnel and he was very over as a heel. In fact, he was one of the biggest heels in the company at the time. Plus, getting his title shot taken away from him wouldn"t have hurt his career like it would a legitimate wrestler. Since he owned (and still owns) the WWF/WWE, taking his match away from him wouldn"t have hurt his business position like it would a wrestler"s popularity .So, for the above reasons, having Vince McMahon win the Rumble was a wise idea. Conclusion: Through a chain of arguments, I have established that Austin vs Rock was the best choice for the WrestleMania 15 main event, Steve Austin shouldn"t have won the Rumble, no other wrestler should"ve won the Rumble, and that an on-air personnel had to win the Rumble. Therefore, Vince McMahon was the best choice to win the Rumble in 1999. Definitions: WrestleMania: WWE"s most-promoted and anticipated pay-per-view of the calendar year.
