Royal Rumble (1995)

Royal Rumble (1995) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event made by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It took place on on January 22, 1995, at the USF Sun Dome in Tampa, Florida. It was the eighth Royal Rumble event held by the WWF.

 Background 
As is the case every year since the event's beginning, the event's main event was the 30-man over-the-top-rope battle royal, also known as the Royal Rumble match. The match started with two wrestlers and a new one was added every 90 seconds. To eliminate an opposing wrestler he must be thrown over the top rope and have both his two feet hit the floor, this continued until there was only one man left, who was named the winner. The winner received a match for the WWF Championship at WrestleMania XI. The match was won by Shawn Michaels, who became the first man to win the match from the number one position.
