Royal Rumble (1994)

Royal Rumble (1994) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event made by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It took place on January 22, 1994, at the Providence Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island. It was the seventh 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. Like the previous year's Royal Rumble match, the winner received a match for the WWF Championship at WrestleMania X. 

This was the only Royal Rumble match where two men were declared the winners: Bret Hart and Lex Luger. Both Hart and Luger landed on the floor at the same time which ended the match. Two referees argued about who had landed first. WWF President Jack Tunney then came to the ring and named both men co-winners. Another match saw Yokozuna defeat The Undertaker in a Casket match for the WWF Championship.
