Here are the televised Royal Rumble results.  Skip this article if
you're witing to see it on tape delay.


Opening title screen and that's it, nothing in the way of prepared video
to start this off.

Monsoon and Heenan talk a little and before one minute is gone the first
match is introduced.


Beverly Brothers defeated by the Steiners

About 6 minutes of a beautiful lack of commentary whatsoever.
Nothing surprising and a few decent moves by all four.  Frankensteiner 
finishes the match on a Beverly (don't know which one).


Intercontinental Match
Marty Jannety pinned by Shaun Michaels

Sherri Martel comes out first and the burning question is- who cares?
Sherri slaps Michaels late in the match.  Referee goes down and Sherri
enters the ring and swings at Michaels with her shoe.  She misses and hits
Marty.  Referee comes to and Michaels hits a super savante kick to finish
the match.


Bam Bam Bigelow pins Big Boss Man

Boss Man hit his back on the ring apron and was never back in the match
after that.  Bam Bam hits with headbutt.
Not a very good match unless you like fat guys rolling around.


WWF Title Match
Razor Ramon is Sharpshot by Bret Hart

Fairly good WWF style match.  Bret escaped the Razor's Edge and also failed
in his first Sharpshooter attempt with Heenan saying his legs are too long.
Slips it in while both are flat on their backs for the submission.
Daddy and Mommy Hart are at ringside.


Narcissus is revealed

Heenan calls him, "Narcissus- Lex Luger"


Caeser and Cleopatra come out and invite everybody to their Palace in April.

no intermission or interviews -right to the Rumble.


This is just what I saw and wrote down.  There may be discrepancies with 
other reports but I'm pretty sure this is close.

Backlund is the second guy out there and it didn't really feel right since
he has no entrance music.

16) Red Rooster                       11               Ted DiBiase


El Gigante enters the ring area at this time with a beard and a body suit
making him look like a mutant (more than normal) with lots of hair on his
body.  He dwarfed the Undertaker and knocked him silly.  Undertaker lay
prone in the corner for a long time until P Bearer came out with the urn.

29) Repo Man                           26              Bob Backlund

30) Randy Savage                       29              Yokozuna


Jim Duggan wasn't there although I saw him promoted right before the show
began.

Tenryu was often caught just hanging around the ring with nothing to do.
Calling him in just for this was really strange.

The whole show was a little strange what with no title sequence and the
announcers not coming on for a long time.  The ending showed Bret and 
Yokozuna facing each other behind the scenes but Heenan kept saying, "
Are we on?" and they faded away without comment.

Total time approx.  2 hrs  45 mins
