So that line from the Rock about "a cup of shut up juice", was actually a line Conan O'Brien said to one of his writers who then went on to write for WWE. The writer called up Conan and told him to watch the Royal Rumble to see it

Deadlock Too Cool would be James as Rikishi, Tony as Scotty, & Jawnny as Sexay imo

Starting my 2025 off with The Boys(plus one Denker), a few beers, and a classic Royal Rumble. Happy New Year everybody!

In terms of match card, this is probably one of the all-time greatest Royal Rumble events! Start off hot with the Tazz debut, one of the greatest and craziest tables matches ever! (D-Von in half a second avoiding Jeff Hardy's dive is an all-timer moment) an insane bikini contest two short but hard-hitting title matches, the most infamous world title match to ever happen on the Royal Rumble PPV and while the 2000 Rumble match definitely fell flat because of the lack of star power, you still get a few all timer moments out of it and it ended on a high note with the Rock winning so, while I get the hate the match gets, with what they had it wasn't a bad way to wrap up a good show.

I think we all can agree that Jacqueline should've won the Bikini contest.

I remember going over my brother’s friend’s house for most of the WWF PPVs at this point because we couldn’t buy it on a consistent basis so we went to said friend’s house, paid $5 and had a good time. In fact, my brother and I knew it was Taz before they did because we were watching ECW on local tv (it would come on Fridays at like 1 or sometimes 2am). Man, such good memories.

scottelot · February 3, 2024

This was one of the first PPVs I ever watched as a kid, lmao. They showed this on free TV in the UK and I think the Mae Young segment actually got it pulled off the channel entirely.

Its crazy how obvious the switch out of the barbed wire is too, the shoot barbed wire gets all untangled from the board and the fake one is all pristine and plastic looking. my headcanon 100 percent was that Hunter was like "Im not fucking letting you hit me with barbed wire".

Requiem · January 29, 2024

So what happened with Kane's pyro I don't think was that they fucked it up, they likely had a fire blast in the lighting rig like for Jericho's entrance and the concussion blast was what was under the ring (and why the smoke came out from under the ring)

yo i was just gonna say the royalty thing about Foley!! mans spent his whole WWF run legitimizing every main eventer for the next 10 years by letting them whip the shit outta him in various horrible methods, all those dudes owe him 10% of everything they make

t
tkdwn. · January 29, 2024

also, the fake barbed wire offended my ghoul sensibilities in ways i didn't even know possible. Foley took thumbtacks to the face and HHH took a Mattel Playset barbed wire board to the head smh

TravisBroski · January 29, 2024

If I remember right, Foley called it on the fly to kick out of the pedigree, then wanted Triple H to Pedigree him on the thumbtacks for the finish

Just in case anyone was curious about the bikini contest from the original broadcast: when Mae exposed herself the first time it was censored but when Mae is revealed as the winner that was when you saw them. Which is why there was a quick cut in the Peacock/Network version

If you wanna watch a world war 3 just the match or full card. 1997 was prolly the best one to pick

Mah-Dry-Bread · January 28, 2024

I'm so pumped to watch this, you don't even know

Mah-Dry-Bread · January 29, 2024

Dude, I choked once. Literally couldn't talk, could hardly make a noise. It's surreal panic moment where you just kinda suddenly come to terms with the fact that you may be about to die. Thankfully I was on the couch eating with someone so I could just wave for attention and we quickly did the heimlich and I was fine, but it's a little traumatizing. I learned my lesson about not eating dry chicken without having water first. For what it's worth for those of you who are lucky enough to have not choked, pretty much the moment the person has their arms around your belly you're gonna cough up the food. The heimlich maneuver is really easy and fast. It takes like 2 seconds and you'll be all good, no need to panic getting into position for it.

KingDonnybrook · January 28, 2024

I'm nearly convinced that this game and this game alone is WWF No Mercy's source material. Every attire, every theme, a bunch of storylines, and the famous "IF YA SMELL" that plays at the end of the intro is taken from Rock's promo.

PT · January 28, 2024

I kind of enjoyed when everyone wondered who the tag champs were and first thought E&C (plausible), Acolytes (less plausible, I don't recall them as tag champs?) and....it's the super boring choice in 2000, the Outlaws. I was there with you folks! Why them? Also lol that match.

also this is a quote from Mick Foley: "I thought about the wisdom of taking that pedigree face first into those thumbtacks. I came to the conclusion that, okay, I could lose an eye, but imagine the pop."

This is a true story. I was just a kid of course and I had my dad rent this for me from blockbusters. Back in the day, early 2000's. It was infact the uncensored version. I saw Mae Youngs saggy tits and it was one of the first times I saw boobs as a child. Seriously. I remember being a dumb kid and getting caught by my mom while she was walking by. I got in trouble and mom learned about how 'bad' wrestling is. She asked me what it looked like, and my response was "they looked like Sorry pawns".. like the board game. Story is true, as the sky is blue.
